The Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit), Wen Zhang and Chen Rui starred film OCEAN HEAVEN earlier held a Beijing premiere. Lee Nin Kit brought his daughter to watch the film. The older one was moved to tears. He revealed that his daughters ordinarily would do charity work. Earlier a film company approached his older daughter about a movie but he turned it down.

The film yesterday held a Shenzhen press conference and a charity premiere at night. Also at the press conference was director Xue Xiaolu and others. Speaking of bringing his daughters to the Beijing premiere, Lee Nin Kit expressed that after the show he and his daughters went their separate ways but he knew that his older daughter was moved to tears. He said, "Many viewers after watching this film would understand how noble parental love is. Earlier when I attended the Shanghai Film Festival, the mother of an autistic said some emotional words that made me very sad and very sentimental. I don't wish such scenes would happen again."

When asked whether he would organize people with autism to watch the film, he said that he was waiting for arrangements from the related units. He believed that the general public still did not understand this illness too much. He said that the One Foundation helped with autistic patients but the Mainland had so many that they needed even greater power. As for a chance to win an award, he said that he took the role not because of the award or the box office. Speaking of charity, he expressed that his daughters' school had scheduled charity events. Sometimes they would participate in his charity events as well. He said, "The charity work process is very important to individual character and has far reaching effects on their future growth. It is something that they should do." Has he considered working on a movie with his daughters? He expressed that he never thought about it. Earlier someone approached her daughter about a movie but he turned it down. His daughter was very displeased after finding out. He felt that they should choose their own lives, thus he would not stop her from performing at Andy Lau Tak Wa's concert and Latin dance.
