Biography of Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan's biography began at the moment of his birth, and when he was born, the hero weighed 5500 grams, so he received his first nickname Pao Pao, which means a cannonball.
His father, Charles Chan, was a spy; he actively supported the conservative ideas of the Kuomintang Party, but after he was discovered, he began to be persecuted by the Communist Party of the DPRK. Charles fled to Hong Kong, where he worked as a cook in the kitchen of the French Embassy and later at the US Embassy in Australia. The man died in 2008 from prostate cancer.
Mother - Lily Chan - was also not a law-abiding woman; they say that she sold drugs, although she later worked at the French Embassy as a maid, and then was a housewife. Lily also left this world six years before her husband.
Sister - Yu Lan and sister - Gui Lan are maternal stepsons, since they were born in their first marriage to the shoemaker Yuet Wing. The girls lived very poorly because their father was killed in a bombing and their mother could not earn enough to live. By the way, very early in Shanghai, Yu Lan and Gui Lan went to work in a factory when their older sister was 12 years old. The mother left the girls in China when Gui Lan went to school, but the girls forgave her. They, along with her brother, looked after her until her death.
Brother - Shi Sheng and brother - Shi De - half-steps on his father's side, they were born to his first wife. The woman died of cancer when her children were eight and two years old. The boys remained in China in the province of Wuhu when their father fled to Hong Kong, they begged, and their neighbors fed them. Then Charles Chan found them through the embassy, they grew up and worked as a pig farmer and a postman, but practically did not communicate with their father and brother. On my father's side, the family numbered twenty-five people.
Little Chan Kon San or Jackie Chan grew up as a hooligan boy and practiced kung fu. He entered school at the age of five, and at six he was kicked out of it for terrible behavior. After this, he was placed in the Peking Opera boarding school at the Chinese Theater Academy, from which he graduated at the age of sixteen.

He acted as an extra in many films, organized the Three Dragons musical group, was a stuntman, but at the same time had difficulty writing and reading.
Personal life
In Jackie Chan's biography there is little information about his relationships with ladies, since he carefully hides it. It is known that Taiwanese actress Joan Lin became his wife in 1982. Jackie showed it to the public only 15 years later, because he was afraid of the reaction of his fans. After the birth of her son from her legal husband, Joan left public life.
She survived Jackie's betrayal, whom she forgave. After that, he dedicated his original song to her.

Personal life of Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan's personal life has always been very turbulent, as fans and young actresses constantly hovered around him. At the same time, the actor never advertised his personal life and the fact that he is legally married. Most likely, this was done in order to artificially stir up interest in the stuntman among the fair sex.
The only time the secret became clear was when model and actress Elaine Ng announced her pregnancy. At the same time, Chan refused to recognize his daughter until paternity was confirmed by a DNA test, although now he often says that he was simply scared and lost his daughter.
In general, the actor never talks about his personal life and suppresses all questions from journalists on this topic.
Jackie Chan family
Jackie Chan's family was strange and poor; they often spoke of it as a union of two criminals - a spy and a drug dealer. The fact is that the father caught the mother when she was transporting opium, and he was a customs officer, but he let her go.
Parents left two small children to fend for themselves and were almost never interested in their fate. Chan's family was incredibly poor, but unique knowledge was passed on from father to son - kung fu training.
The fate of the parents of the actor and singer was truly unique and fantastically implausible. However, they lived during the years of war, terror and famine, which left an imprint on their attitude towards family and children.
Problems with law
There are periods in Jaycee Chan's biography that made his family blush for their unlucky son. As sometimes happens with children of wealthy parents, he became involved with drugs. In August 2014, it became known about the arrest of the artist and his friend, Taiwanese actor Kai Ko. After a search of Chan's apartment, Beijing police charged him with drug possession and running a stash house.
It turned out that the actor had been using illegal substances for 8 years. The father did not lift a finger to free his son and let him escape the law. On the contrary, Jackie Chan publicly repented of being to blame for such a result of raising his offspring. The prisoner's parents were not even present at the trial. Photos of Jaycee in custody awaiting sentencing made headlines.
