Diary

I rushed back to Hong Kong to attend the funeral of my brother, Willie Chan. But just as I arrived, I received another sad and heartbreaking news. Mona Fong Yat Wah, Lady Shaw, my ‘Fong Jie’…passed away…. She and Run Run Shaw have watched me grow from an absolute nobody to a person that people became to know. We’ve known each other for so many decades. She’s a close friend and someone I highly respect. I last saw her in March while I was in Hong Kong, and we said that we’d have a party next time I’m in town. I’d never thought that that day was the last day I’d ever see her…. A lot of people don’t realize that saying ‘goodbye’ today might be the last goodbye ever! You might not get a chance to say it again. 

Saying goodbye to my two close friends tonight has been tough. Words cannot describe how I feel at the moment. Why is it that we only truly understand how to cherish people after they’re gone? My dearest Fong Jie, Rest In Peace. My dearest brother, Rest In Peace. You’re always in my heart. 

今天趕回香港來送兄弟陳自強，然而剛剛到步，就聽到另一個噩耗，方逸華，我的方姐也走了….她和邵先生一路看著我從默默無聞到被人認識，是幾十年的長輩和朋友，今年三月在香港見面時，還說下次要找機會敘舊，沒想到那天一別，就是永別了…很多人都是這樣，一聲再見之後，可能是再也沒機會見到了…今晚連續送別兩位老友，心情很沈重，為什麼人總是要等到這樣的時刻才更懂得珍惜？….我的方姐，走好。我的兄弟，走好。我永遠懷念你們。

Was happy to appear on CCTV6’s program “Guo Pian Da Shou Ying” (China Premiere) with my 5th generation JC Stunt Team Choreographer, Han Guan Hua. We revealed some behind the scenes from my upcoming new movie, The Foreigner. I was pleasantly surprised when program organizers invited fans from all over the world on the show.

很高兴这次和成家班第五代动作指导冠华一起，在cctv6《国片大首映》和大家聊聊我新电影《英伦对决》的台前幕后。节目组还特别邀请了来自世界各地的龙迷，他们带给我很多惊喜！

Thank you my dearest fans! I received all your gifts and donations! I was very impressed with the two large photo albums. While looking through it with my friend in the evening, my friend kept saying, “it’s so meaningful, it’s so meaningful”…. there were many photos in the album that even I haven’t seen before! How did you find those photos? Seeing how I’ve changed over the years, it made me think about a lot of things. Thank you for your continuous support and thank you for being with me for over the years!

大家的禮物和善款都收到啦，晚上跟朋友一起看兩大本相冊，不斷聽到朋友說，真是太有心了，太有心了….很多照片不要說他們，連我自己都沒見過，我都納悶你們是從哪裡蒐集來的。看著自己一路走過來的這些年，心裡很感慨。謝謝你們一直以來的陪伴！

How many of you still remember “Jackie Chan Adventures” from 17 years ago? Finally after 7 years of development, the “All New Jackie Chan Adventures” launched yesterday (August 14) on major children’s channels around China, such as BTV KAKU Children’s Satellite Channel, YOU MAN Cartoon, JIA JIA Cartoon, Aniworld TV, and TOONMAX TV. At the end of every episode, I’ll share some useful tips for kids that can be use everyday.  I’ve always wanted to make a refreshing animation series that is entertaining, educational, and suitable for the Chinese audience. Let’s follow the J-Team in being the Guardian of Dreams, and help protect our world of dreams and fantasy.

Today I attended a promotional event for a nature themed documentary by BBC called Earth: One Amazing Day, featuring many different kinds of wildlife creatures and animals. I’ve always loved animals, and a lot of my acting is inspired by them. As the narrator for this documentary, I recorded in the studio for 6 hours straight and absolutely enjoyed it! As I was recording, I couldn’t stop thinking about the young people today and how they’re living in concrete jungles surrounded by tall buildings, carrying laptops and cellphones, and forgetting about how beautiful nature and wildlife really is. This documentary has given us an opportunity to re-discover the natural world. In the film industry, we’ve always had a saying: “children and animals can’t be filmed”, because we know that they’re too difficult to film! You just can’t control them. Earth: One Amazing Day is about nature, wildlife, and animals in their natural habitat. Every unique shot captured on film is a result of many months of patience, with footage from unseen angles and perspectives never seen before. I’d like to take this opportunity to give full credit to the director, cinematographer, and the entire production crew for sacrificing your time and energy in making such a beautiful documentary. It’s not very often that I recommend people to go see a movie, but this one I highly recommend because it’s definitely worth watching! The film will be released on August 11^th, just in time for the summer holidays. Adults can take your kids to watch the movie, and I assure you that you’ll all enjoy it! At the event, I also received some gifts from fans. Thank you! I’ve read your letters and received your donations. Thank you so much!

今天參加《地球：神奇的一天》的宣傳活動，這是BBC出品的一部環保主題的紀錄片，主角們是各種各樣的動物。我一直非常非常喜歡動物，平時很多演戲的靈感也都來自於它們，這次配音我也是拼了，連續六個小時泡在錄音室里不出來，很享受！一邊配音我一邊就會想，現在很多年輕人都住在鋼筋水泥的森林里，每天抱著電腦和手機，已經忘記了大自然有多美好。這部電影提供了一個機會，讓我們重新認識大自然。我們拍電影的常說一句話，小孩和動物不能拍，因為拍他們太難了，你根本無法控制，《地球：神奇的一天》整部戲都是關於大自然和動物，一個精彩鏡頭的捕捉常常要花費幾個月的時間等待，非常難得，在這裡我要向這部戲的導演、攝影和所有主創團隊，向願意花費時間和生命專注在這類作品上的創作者們致敬！我很少推薦觀眾看戲，但這次一定要推薦，真的值得看！8月11日上映，剛好暑假來了，大人們可以帶著小朋友一起去看，保證大家不虛此行！影迷們送的禮物都收到啦，信也看了，捐款也收到了，老規矩你們懂。謝謝大家！
