what's with Jackie Chan?
Sunday, February 6, 2011
Honestly, am no die hard fan of this Jackie Chan fellow. But his films are entertaining enough to hook me in front of the tele box :) See, i mentioned telly not cinema... His last movie that i watched, if not mistaken was The Spy Next Door.
I never know much about this world famous martial art actor until today. As i switched on the tv this morning, 8TV to be exact, i saw Jackie on a chinese celebrity talk show. Due to the fact that there was no good cartoon to watch on a Saturday's morning. i just let the show played on telly.
So i've spent my 1hours 30 minutes watching a talk show where Jackie was the guest for the show. No regret after all, because i knew much after that.. and learned from his experiences also. As we know now, Jackie is actively involve in charity activities.
He shared that the first charity activity he attend was arrange by his management, which was a visit to a hospital. His young fans were very excited and happy at his sight, and his agent proudly told them that Jackie himself bought presents for them and other bla bla bla. But the truth is, Jackie don't even want to attend the activity (he was so tired with his dance and social activity the night before, he was lacked of sleep!) Technically, he was dragged to the charity event.
But but... he said at that moment, he was very ashamed and feel terribly bad. He just fake a smile but deep down inside, only he knew what was happening. The patients asked whether he will come the following year. He answered yes and made a mental note to really come next year.
So for the whole year, he sorted out gifts from his fan and put them into boxes, wrapped it on his own and bring those gifts to the charity event he promised he will come to. This time, he was happy to do it, with out anyone pushing him.
He also mentioned that, it is not easy to do charity. Because sometimes he really have to fork his own money to cover some expenses. Say there was a case where a friend gave him 1million, Jackie called the clothes factory to make ten thousand sweater. But, how to deliver the items to its receiver? Ahah, he said he paid two hundred thousand for the deliveries using his own cash.
What make all these story about Jacky so interesting? He said:
'' It was the society that changed him to better person he became today. And he will continue to become better and better human being. ''
He described himself as a bad person, but slowly becoming a good one because of society and his fans. According to him, as long as there is a person doing charity in your home, your household won't be bad or goes too wrong. That person will have some good effect indirectly towards people around him/her.
Owh, there were too much of things he shared on the show.... But in the end, it is worthy for me to accidentally watched the show. Yes, that bring two benefits:
1. sharpen my ear and refreshed my mandarin skill
2. know much more about the famous Jackie Chan.
p/s: I like the feeling of watching people -- all kind of behaviour, attitude, colour and character. It was a therapy to me
