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.

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.
