Jet Li Allegedly Had 'Organs Replaced' To Revive Health: Exploring The Dark Science Of China's 'Youth Blood'

Global actor Jet Li is the latest star to be caught in a bizarre online rumour suggesting that the martial arts legend somehow became younger 'overnight,' prompting speculation that he had undergone secret organ replacements or experimental rejuvenation treatments.

The rumour, which spread rapidly across Chinese social media, tied his alleged transformation to a controversial anti-ageing movement led by billionaire beauty magnate Yu Wenhong and her company Young Merry Real.

But while conspiracy theories intensified, recent photos of Jet Li tell a very different story, showing a 60-year-old man ageing as expected, whose appearance hardly supports the extraordinary claims surrounding him.

A Sudden Transformation Sparks Allegations

A TikTok creator has suggested that Jet Li appeared in a hospital bed last summer, joking that he was 'sent in for repairs.' Months later, he was said to have re-emerged looking younger, livelier and almost reborn. This alleged transformation fuelled whispers that he had undergone secret medical procedures, even organ replacement.

Jet Li denied the claims and reportedly showed his torso to prove he had no surgical scars. Yet the rumour persisted, strengthened by dramatic stories of him suddenly 'jumping like a kid.'

In fact, in the summer of 2025, the actor went through surgery, which, according to him, was a 'hardware problem.' It was reported that the doctors discovered a benign lump on his neck, and it was reportedly operated on.

Additionally, Jet Li's recent public images also contradict these allegations. His defenders and fans claim that he appears his age, with a lined face and the physical softness typical of a 60-year-old man. The only visible difference appears to be a good amount of hair on his head, as in his older pictures, he had thinning hair.

'The woman is a liar, this is Jet Li, and he looks his age,' a fan commented on the TikTok video challenging the narrative that he had achieved supernatural rejuvenation.

Other Celebrities Draw Suspicion

The creator also referenced actor Samuel Han and former Chinese news anchor Ni Ping, both said to have displayed similarly abrupt reverse-ageing transformations.

Ni Ping, once seen struggling to walk, was later described as climbing a mountain with ease. These sudden changes added fuel to claims of secret anti-ageing procedures being used among China's elite.

However, it should be noted that neither Han nor Ping has confirmed going under such procedures.

Enter Yu Wenhong and the 'Youth Blood' Promise

At the centre of the controversy stands Yu Wenhong, CEO of Young Merry Real, a conglomerate built on the promise of prolonging beauty, youth and vitality.

Yu publicly boasts that at 55, she maintains the body and energy of a young woman, crediting her condition to what she calls 'youth blood,' a treatment she promotes to wealthy clients seeking to look decades younger. Her boyfriend, who is reportedly 30 years younger than her, even appears on camera, describing her skin as soft as a 20-year-old's.

Young Merry Real markets itself as a pioneer of anti-ageing and aesthetic medicine, using global technologies and specialist teams to pursue Yu's long-standing ambition: making 50-year-olds look 20 to 30, and eventually allowing 100-year-olds to maintain the vitality of someone in their fifties.

According to reports, the company has weathered past scandals, including allegations of botched procedures and tax controversies, yet its elite clientele has remained largely loyal.

Furthermore, the rumours surrounding Jet Li emerged at a moment when Chinese social media was already deeply engaged in conversations about extreme anti-ageing practices.

While Wenhong's company undeniably markets itself around dramatic rejuvenation, no evidence from the provided information indicates that Jet Li participated in any of her procedures or that 'organ replacement' or 'youth blood' methods were applied to him. The allegations appear to stem solely from speculation, amplified by dramatic before-and-after appearances and a broader cultural anxiety about the wealthy seeking biological advantages.
