Day One

I have come to Tangshan to establish the 22nd and 23rd school made possible by the Dragon’s Heart Foundation. We will break ground on two new primary schools being built for the surviving victims of the Sichuan earthquake. I've also come here to visit the villages and surviving victims from the huge earthquake that struck Tangshan in 1976. Known as the Great Tangshan Earthquake, it measured roughly 8.0 on the Richter scale, striking in the early morning hours on July 28, 1976, killing some 250,000 people and severely injuring over 160,000. Someone told me that it was the most devastating earthquake of the 20th century because of the number of people it killed.  I also wanted to visit with the orphans and disaster victims from the Sichuan earthquake who moved to Tangshan.

We set off first thing in the morning and drove from Beijing to Tangshan. The journey took around 2 hours by car. After reaching the mountain, we went straight to the venue for the charity auction.


We received a very enthusiastic response from the charity auction. Roger Dubuis kindly donated a wrist watch worth over RMB$3 million (USD$439,000) to be sold at the auction. In the end, the watch sold for RMB$3.68 million (USD$539,000). Furthermore, my entire jeans outfit and sports shoes sold for RMB$500,000 (USD$73,000), and the total amount of funds we raised from the auction came to RMB$6.051 million (USD$886,000). 


This little girl gave me flowers.

The bidding was very enthusiastic. It always makes me happy when people are generous towards the charity.




This little boy gave me RMB 10,000 (USD 1,464)



I always bring along items from my JC Design collection. Here is a set of plates I designed.


This is a special banner commemorating the Beijing Olympics.


This man bought the clothes I was wearing (but not my underwear!).




After the charity auction ended, I quickly rushed to meet with the mayor and secretary of Tangshan.


After the meeting, I went back to the hotel, tidied myself up and prepared to perform at a special event in the evening, where I would be singing "Country" again. 

The concert went very smoothly and I was very touched by the support of the people who attended. It was held in an open air stadium and it was very cold, almost at the freezing point. This didn't seem to bother the 18,000 people who came to see me and I did my best to entertain them and I thanked them for braving the weather.

At the concert there were several very special groups of people who came up on stage to visit with me. Representatives from Kangfu Village came to show their appreciation as well as children from Yanbian and from a special school for the disabled. I think my happiest moment at the concert, however, was handing over the check - the money raised at the auction - to the local Red Cross. 

Here are some photos from the concert

1026: 慈善行动第一天

 

今天来到唐山,是为了“龙子心工程”建立第二十二及第二十三间龙子心学校。这次我会出席破土仪式,奠基两间小学给这里的孩子们和四川地震的灾民和生还者。之后,我去探访唐山地震的灾民和灾民村。当年1976728,早上凌晨还未天光时,唐山发生8.0级的剧烈地震,大约25万人死亡,16万人伤残。由于伤残死亡人数极多,所以这场地震又名为“唐山大地震”。听人说,这场地震名列20世纪世界地震史死亡人数第一。今次除了探访唐山地震的灾民和灾村之外,我也想探望一些四川地震后,从四川搬到唐山的孤儿和灾民。

 

今天我们大清早出发,从北京驾了两个小时车到唐山。到达唐山后,我马上赶去慈善拍卖会现场。

 

 

拍卖会的现场反应非常热烈。Roger Dubui更为我们捐出一个价值300多万元的手表拍卖,后来有人出价368万元获得这个手表。除此之外,我身上所穿的衫,牛仔衣服,裤,还有运动鞋都拍卖了,出价50万元成交。今天的拍卖会很成功,总共筹得6,051,000元善款。

 

 

这位小妹妹献花给我。

 

 

拍卖会现场,大家的反应非常热烈。看见你们对慈善那么热心,我真是很高兴。

 

 

这位小朋友给我一万元善款。

 

 

每次参加慈善拍卖会,我都会带几件成龙服装品牌系列(JC Collection)来拍卖。这套碟是我自己设计的。

 

 

这幅画很有意思,是纪念北京奥运会。

 

 

这位先生出价投得我身上所穿的衣服(当然,内衣裤不计!)

 

 

慈善拍卖会完结后,我马上赶去跟唐山市长和书记见面。

 

与市长和书记会面后,我就回去酒店,梳洗整理一下,为今晚的演出好好准备。今次我又可以唱 “国家”了。

 

今晚的晚会非常顺利,观众的支持和热情也感动到我。我真的很欣赏和佩服在场每一位观众,我们在露天球场举办晚会,冷风吹袭,气温只得1-2度,而他们的热情没有减。全场观众,共有18万多人,都一直在支持我们,立足3个小时至到晚会完毕为止。我很努力为他们表演,还感谢他们冒著寒冷的天气来支持我们。

 

今晚的活动来了几位很特别的朋友,他们上台跟我表达谢意,有康复村的代表,还有延边的小朋友和智障学校的代表,他们都是想跟我说声多谢。其实,我想我整个晚上最开心的时候,就是当我亲手把拍卖会所筹得的支票善款,递给当地的唐山红十字会。

 

晚会上影了几张照片,你们看看:

Hi Jackie Chan, I like both you and Kim Hee Seon so much. It is great that I can see both of you in one movie. So I bought DVD of the Myth movie. I like this movie so much except the end of this movie. I dont like when you left the Queen (Kim Hee Seon) in the ruining cave and run out alone. You just cant leave a girl who has been waiting for you for more than 2000 years in that way. So could you please make part 2 for the Myth movie in which you will come back and save the Queen out of the cave. I think your fans really want both you and the Queen (Kim Hee Seon) to get out of the cave alive. I think that will be another great movie, and I will buy its DVD if you make it. Please, I beg you. I am so sad when you left Kim Hee Seon alone in that ruining cave. Please save her out. I beg you Jackie Chan. Thank you so much.
