Jackie Chan Lifestyle

Jackie Born in Hong Kong to a poor Chinese family. His parents Charles Chan (1914-2008) and Lily Chan (1916-2002) fled to Hong Kong from the mainland during the civil war, and in 1960 moved to Australia. Before moving, they worked as a cook and maid at the residence of the French consul in Hong Kong. Jackie studied at the Nah-Hwa Primary School, but at the age of 6 he was sent to the Beijing Opera School at the Chinese Institute of Opera Research in Hong Kong. In addition to stage training, this helped little Chan learn to better control his body. Jackie was also fond of the martial art of kung fu. He began acting in episodic roles in films as a child – at the age of 8-10 he starred in the extras of the classic film in the genre of the opera Huangmei[en] “Eternal Love”, in the film “Big and Little Won Tin Bar” as the son of the main character performed by Li Lihua and the Beijing Opera “The Story of Qin Xianglian”. As a teenager, he participated in stunt extras, in particular, the films “Fist of Fury” and “Enter the Dragon” with the participation of Bruce Lee.
