Diary

Many years ago, I remember my dad saying to me, “Don’t just be an action star; you need to be a good actor because you can’t continue to do action when you’re 60. But a good actor can act for many many years.”

I still remember those words very clearly, and it’s also my motivation to achieve my goal. After the Huading Awards ceremony several nights ago, CZ12 (Chinese Zodiac) also won Best Action Choreography at the prestigious Hong Kong Film Awards last night. My stunt team partner, He Jun, received the award with me and on the stage he thanked all the past and present Jackie Chan Stunt Team members and brothers who are now located all over the world. When I heard him say that, I felt so emotional because over the many years, the Jackie Chan stunt team has accompanied me throughout the continents around the world. They’ve help bring out the spirit of Chinese martial arts and demonstrated professional discipline to the world. No matter how long I decide to continue with doing action, the spirit of martial arts will remain and will be handed down to future generations.

Right now, what I really want to say to my dad is that I started from not knowing any martial arts to all the acting I’ve done up until now, I haven’t let you down and I haven’t let my fans down! I want to share this award with all the action stars out there!

很多年前，爸爸跟我說，你不要只是做個動作演員，你要做一個好的演員，因為動作演員不可能打到六十歲，但好的演員可以演很久很久。這段話我一直記到現在，也一直朝著這個目標在努力。昨晚繼華鼎之後《十二生肖》拿到金像獎的最佳動作設計獎，我的搭檔何鈞在台上說，感謝那些現在身在世界各地的，曾經的和現在的成家班弟兄們。我心里很感慨，這么多年，成家班追隨我走遍几大洲，把華語電影人的武術精神和職業操守展現給世界，未來不管我還會再打多久，這种精神會永遠流傳下去。現在我也想跟爸爸說，一不小心，我不僅打到現在，也演到現在了，沒有讓你和全世界的影迷失望！這個獎跟所有的動作演員們分享！

Every time I come back to Hong Kong, I get to see all the Build a School donations that children from all corners of the world send to me. Some of you might be asking – why are they sending me money? Well, many years ago, I made a request to all the children around the world and started the Build a School for a dollar project. If everyone donated their pocket money or spare change to me, no matter how much or how little, even just one dollar, I will match every dollar with another dollar and use all your donates towards charity.

Over the years, my office has continuously received donations from children all over the world. This time, I saw that a group of students from Germany drew many Chinese paintings and auctioned them off as a charity fundraising event for my Build a School for a Dollar project. In the end, they raised $650 Euros and sent it to my office. Also, a group of children from America amazingly wrote a Chinese letter to me. I was so surprised! All donations received by these young children, and my promise to match every dollar with another dollar, will all be used towards building another “Dragon’s Heart” school.

I’m so happy to receive your continual support towards charity over the many years. You are the peace and hope of our future! Thank you all for making this world a better place and more heartwarming!

每次回到香港，都會看到全世界小朋友寄來的錢。為什么會寄錢給我呢？有的朋友可能還不知道，很多年前我對全世界的小孩子發出了一個呼吁，大家可以把多出來的零用錢或是自己賺的錢做慈善，無論金額多大或多小，他們捐多少，我就會跟著捐雙倍。這些年以來，我的公司都會不斷收到全世界小孩子們寄來的錢。這次我看到一班德國小朋友畫了中國畫去義賣，給我寄來了650塊歐元，還有一班美國小朋友，竟然寫了中文信給我，太惊喜了！這些小朋友們捐的錢，加上我自己的那一份，都會用于“龍子心”小學的慈善項目。很高興這么多年以來一直有全世界的小朋友們跟我一起做慈善，你們就是未來和平的世界的希望！謝謝你們讓世界更溫暖更美好！

Last night was the Huading Awards ceremony. My movie CZ12 (aka Chinese Zodiac) was nominated for 4 awards, and we won 3 of them. And I’m so happy because this is my first time winning the Best Director award. But I haven’t been making movies all these years to win awards. Still, I’m very happy to receive this recognition from you all.

Seeing my JC Stunt Team win Best Action Choreography and Zhang Lanxin winning the Best New Actress award, watching them go on stage and listening to their speeches was happier than winning my own award.

I’d like to take this opportunity to say thanks to my fans, the audience and my friends from all over the world. Thank you for your continual support!

昨晚华鼎奖，≪十二生肖≫四項提名，拿了三个奖，也是第一次拿到最佳导演，虽然这么多年拍电影只为观众喜欢而不为拿奖，但还是很开心得到大家的肯定。当然，看到成家班拿到最佳动作指导，张蓝心拿到最佳新人，看到他们有机会上台发表获奖感言，比我自己拿奖更开心！谢谢全世界影迷，觀眾，朋友一直以来不离不弃的支持！
