To all my dearest friends and fans from all over the world:
Even before today (April 7), many friends have been reminding me: “Jackie, it’s going to be your 70th birthday!”
Every time I hear this number, my heart would stop for a second – l’m 70 years old already? After recovering from the shock, the second thing that would come to my mind is a saying that my big brother, Sammo Hung once said: “being able to grow old is a fortunate thing.” Especially for us stunt people, we don’t know how lucky we are to be able to grow old.
Not so long ago, a lot of friends saw some recent photos of me on the internet, and they were all concerned about my health. I want to take this opportunity to let everyone know, don’t worry! It’s just a character appearance for my latest movie. The character requires me to have white hair, white beard and look old. Over the years, I’ve always been willing to try new things for a movie, no matter if it’s a challenging stunt or a breakthrough appearance for a character. I’ve been in the entertainment business for 62 years and I cherish every moment because I’m lucky I’m still filming today.
Recently my staff have been going through my photo archives and found so many memorable photos. I’ve selected a few to post with this message. Looking at these photos brings back so many fond memories. All I can say is: I love making movies and I love you all.
A big thank you to everyone for all your birthday wishes. Hope everyone stays happy and healthy!

我最親愛的全世界的影迷朋友們：
4月7日這天還沒到，就已經有很多朋友在提醒我，大哥，
我每次聽到這個數字的時候，心裡還是會先驚訝一秒鐘，
前段時間，很多朋友看到網上的照片，都來關心我的身體狀態，
最近我的同事們在整理公司資料庫時，翻出很多以前的照片，
再次謝謝所有人給我的生日祝福，希望大家都健康快樂！
