Diary

Lately, I’ve been busy preparing for my upcoming new movie and we’re at the very exciting stage of starting the production. But last week, the HKFA asked if I could present the Professional Achievement Award at the ceremony. When they told me the award winner was Pauline, I didn’t think twice and immediately agreed to fly back to HK. Being a good “Tea Lady” is not an easy job! And Pauline has been doing this for over 30 years. Not only does she look after the main actors and stars filming the movie, she actually looks after everyone on the set. While I was on the stage I said, “when we work in society, we should work with our hearts. When you are nice to someone, they will be nice to you too. And Pauline’s XO sauce is truly delicious!”

While I was in HK, I saw all the gifts and donations and drawings and cards that fans from all over the world sent to me. I know my fans are worried and they keep asking if I received their gift or not. Please rest assured, my dear fans, I’ve received all your gifts! I’ve opened them and seen them, and I want to take this opportunity to say “thank you” for your continuous and heartwarming support! Thank you!

最近在新戏筹备最紧张的阶段，前阵子接到香港金像奖的通知，说请我颁“专业精神奖”给Pauline，我就立马决定要飞回香港，“茶水”这份工作，她一做就是三十几年，不仅照顾主演和大明星，她是照顾片场的所有人。就像我在颁奖现场说的，出来做事要带个心出来，你对别人好，别人就会对你好。而且Pauline做的XO酱真的很好吃！这次回来，又看到影迷们从世界各地寄来的礼物、卡片、画、善款，我看到很多人都担心我没收到没看到，在这里告诉大家，请放心，我都收到，都看到了，感谢你们一如既往的坚持！

I’m very excited to share this song with you. As a special gift to all my fans, my friends, my family, and all the people close to me, I hope you’ll enjoy this song. Even though you all see me as an action superstar, but I truly love singing as well! Its been 16 years since I released my last album, and I was very pleased to share the news of my upcoming album when I held a small event at the end of March. My new album is scheduled to be released in August this year, and I hope everyone will be able to enjoy seeing another side of me. To be honest, I’m not a professional singer…. I just love to sing, because through singing, I’m able to express many things that I usually can’t say with words. Singing my feelings so a lot easier. I’ve filmed many movies and said many heartfelt dialogues, but in real life, I’ve never actually said “I love you” to my family.

 

This is the first of my new songs that I’d like to share with you. Hope you like it.

 

I also recorded a short message to go with this song. But because it’s in Mandarin, my staff will translate it to English for my overseas fans. But in the meantime, those of you who understand Mandarin can listen to my message first.

Translation:
“When…. do we humans suddenly realize that we’re getting old? These few years, every time I receive news of a close friend passing away, I clearly feel that I’m getting old. When I was young, I just wanted to become famous and hoped people in Hong Kong recognized me; people in Asia recognized me; people all over the world recognized me. Making films has always kept me busy and wherever I went, I would call home. Every day, I’d be on the set with my brothers and we’d work from the cradle to the grave. One day he would break an arm, the next day I would break a leg. During those days, we didn’t have time to feel the pain. As time passed by, I started living my own kind of lifestyle. I became someone that everybody recognized. Every day, I’d fly from one place to another. I’d often wake up and wonder, where in the world am I? After a quick scan of the surroundings I’d realize, oh ~ I’m in a suite of a hotel in a city of a country. It’s very luxurious and has everything you need. I then realize the busy schedule ahead of me. I wash my face, brush my teeth, comb my hair, choose my outfit, and make preparations to face the outside world; to be the Jackie Chan in everybody’s hearts. But in the evenings when its quiet and I’m alone, I will think of you: my respected elders, brothers, friends. Looking back at the times when I was most looked down on, elders gave me wise words of encouragement. When I was still a stuntman, I didn’t have enough money to eat. I remember the old run-down rooms I stayed together with my brothers. I remember the cities I visited with my friends, the restaurants we went to, the wine we drank. I remember the last time we just casually said ‘goodbye’. It never came across my mind that it would be our last time to say goodbye. This song is dedicated those I once loved; have lost; are now gone; and to those I may never get a chance to see again.”

 

 

I held a small gathering to announce the upcoming release of my new album. It’s been 16 years since I released my last album. To be honest, I’m not a professional singer, but I truly love singing. Many friends came to support me at the event, including Gao Xiao Song, Tamia Liu Tao, Yue Yun Peng, Chang She Lei, Lao Zai, Xiao Ke, and also many outstanding musicians and producers in the music industry. Thank you for coming to share my life in music. Thank you for letting me share my joy with you!

 

我开了一场小型的新歌分享会。我已经16年没有发过个人专辑。我并不是一个专业歌手，但我真的很喜欢唱歌。今天到场的我的朋友高晓松, 刘涛, 岳云鹏, 常石磊, 捞仔, 小柯 ，还有各位华语音乐界最顶尖的音乐人，谢谢你们来分享我的音乐人生, 让我享受了再次出专辑的喜悦！

A documentary about China was recently released, called “Amazing China”. I was honoured when asked to sing a promotional song for the documentary, which is now released in China. I like this song a lot and the lyrics is very meaningful.

I’d like to share the song with all my fans and I hope you like the lyrics as well.

Although there’s still another 2 months before my birthday, but I’ve already started to receive so many well wishes and donations for charity from fans around the world. I’d like to take this opportunity to say a big “thank you” to everyone! And I also hope we can keep up this wonderful tradition ~ don’t buy me gifts. Send me your well wishes in the form of charity or donations for my charity. As always, I’ll match every dollar you donate with another dollar, and use your donations to help even more people. Thank you! Love you all.

 

距离生日还有近两个月，已经有很多影迷送来了生日祝福和做慈善用的善款，在这里谢谢大家，也希望大家继续保持这个好传统，不要给我买生日礼物，把你们的祝福都变成做慈善的善款，我会加上我的那一份，给到需要帮助的人们。谢谢大家！
