Wu Jing hurt his back a while back while doing a dangerous fall in City Under Siege, but he only brought this up after having recovered, as he didn't want alarm anyone, according to his June 26, 2009 blog entry.

He took the break to call his family as he was recuperating in hospital, but he kept his injury from them to prevent them from worrying. And to him hearing your parents/family's voices as well as letting them hear your voice when you couldn't be with them all the time due to work, is a kind of consolation to each other.

When the director came to me, he said, "I'm going to change your image, something out of character for you." After going through the script I find this character very interesting, it's really something I've never endeavoured before, it's half-human, half-robot.
