Jackie Chan was born on April 7, 1954 in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. His ancestral home is in Anhui Province. He is a national first-class actor and an international martial arts star in the Chinese film industry. In 1960, he entered the The Central Academy of Drama to study traditional Chinese opera and entered the film industry as a martial artist. Since he graduated from the Academy in 1970, he’d hoped to develop his career in the film industry because he had been playing small roles in films since he was young. In 1978, Wu Siyuan invited Jackie Chan to make films such as "Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow" and "Drunken Master", which made him famous. In 1994, the "New Year's Eve" concept film "Rumble in the Bronx" became popular after its release in the United States, resulting in a successful entry into Hollywood. In 1997, after the handover of Hong Kong, President Jiang Zemin referred to Jackie Chan as "Big Brother" during a toast with him at a banquet. From then on, the term "Big Brother" became synonymous with Jackie Chan. In 2007, Jackie Chan was selected by the South Korean public as one of the representatives of the "Great Figures of China", ranking third only after Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. On August 24, 2012, the New York Times selected the 20 greatest action superstars of all time, with Jackie Chan ranking first. In 2013, Jackie Chan was elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. On February 14, 2014, Jackie Chan was re-elected as the President of the Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild in China. Jackie Chan, along with Stephen Chow and Chow Yun-fat, became known as "Double Chow and One Chan". He excels in martial arts films, and the humorous style of the films and the lively, agile, and acrobatic martial arts movements designed by Yuan Heping have helped Jackie Chan find his own direction in the field of martial arts films. The films he has starred in have grossed over 20 billion yuan worldwide…
