Jackie Chan's father is Charles and Lee Li Can, and his mother is Chen Lili (formerly known as Chen Yuerong). Seeing this, does anyone think that Jackie Chan used to take his mother's surname and later changed it to his father's surname? Actually, it's not. Because Charles and Lee Li Can used to be alias Chen Zhiping when they made a living in Hongkong in their early years, Jackie Chan's name is Chen Gangsheng, which is still his father's surname.
Li Can and Chen Lili are both married for the second time, and they both had children from their first marriage, so Jackie Chan has two half brothers and two half sisters.
Jackie Chan's two brothers, Charles and Lee Li Can, and his first wife's two sons, the older named Fang Shide and the younger named Fang Shi Sheng, are now in their seventies and eighties.
In 2008, Jackie Chan's father Charles and Lee Li Can died. Fang Shide and Fang Shi Sheng wanted to go to Australia to die for their father, but they couldn't contact their third brother Jackie Chan, so they revealed their identities to the media just to let everyone know that Jackie Chan had two half-brothers. However, despite the media exposure, the wish of the Fang brothers to die for their father in Australia failed to come true.
In 20 13, Jackie chan went to his hometown in Wuhu, Anhui province to worship his ancestors in a low-key way. The two brothers met Brother Xing for the first time, and it was also the only time that the three brothers of Fangjia got together so far.
Compared with his two brothers, Jackie Chan has more contact with his two half-sisters, especially the second sister Chen Guilan, who has lived in Australia for many years and lived in a mansion under Jackie Chan's name. However, Jackie Chan bought a house for his sister to live in, which can also be said to have a purpose.
Jackie Chan's mother, Chen Lili, comes from Wuhu, Anhui Province, and is a countryman of Charles and Li-Li Can. She lost her father in her early years, and when she grew up, her family married a shoemaker and gave birth to two daughters, Chen Yulan and Chen Guilan, Jackie Chan's two sisters.
During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese bombed Penghu, and Chen Lili's husband was killed in an air raid. In order to support two young daughters, Chen Lili engaged in illegal business such as selling opium, and thus became attached to her second husbands, Charlie and Lee Li Can.
At that time, Charles and Lee-Li Can were working for the national army, and were responsible for checking suspicious people coming and going. One day, he found a young woman holding a girl in her hand, a smaller girl on her chest and a big basket on her back, walking forward in a panic.
Experienced Charles and Li-Li Can immediately understood what was going on, so they stepped forward and said softly, "You are so brave to smuggle opium with your children."
This young woman is just a widowed Chen Lili. Charles and Lee Li Can, who saw a military uniform, said that Chen Lili was scared out in a cold sweat and had to bite the bullet and respond: "That's better than starving to death."
Charles and Li-Li Can recognized Chen Lili from her accent. Seeing that she is a weak woman with two children, I can't help but be soft-hearted and want to let her go. He asked Chen Lili, "You are a woman's family, why do you show up outside? Where's your man? "
Chen Lili replied, "Dead". This did not surprise Charles and Lee Li Can. In those days, accidental death was commonplace, and being alive was a fluke. Noting Chen Lili's filial piety, he continued to ask, "What happened recently?"
The flirtatious tone of Charles and Lee Li Can made Chen Lili a little uncomfortable. Plus being seen by the other party, he is both afraid and resentful. He said, "If you die, you die. Why do you ask so many questions? "
Charles and Lee Li Can didn't ask again, but waved and said to Chen Lili, "Go ahead."
Chen Lili suddenly froze. She didn't expect the other party to let herself go so easily, and she was moved to tears.
Charles and Lee Li Can sighed and said, "I don't know what is right and wrong these days."
Before leaving, Charles and Lee-Li Can reminded Chen Lili not to do this illegal business again. If someone catches him, it won't be so easy to pass.
Chen Lili was very grateful and agreed. She also gave her home address. Charles and Li-Li Can were surprised to find that they were not only fellow villagers, but also lived very close, almost across a river.
After being released privately by Charlie and Lee-Li Can, Chen Lili went to Shanghai as a servant, while his two daughters stayed at their hometown in Anhui. Coincidentally, a few years later, Charles and Lee Li Can also came to Shanghai and made a special trip to surrender to her.
It turned out that earlier, Charles and Lee Li Can were fired for a mistake, and his wife died of illness soon after. Like Chen Lili, he was widowed, took two children and left them in his hometown in Wuhu.
During their stay in Shanghai, Charles and Lee-Li Can and Chen Lili became interdependent. They were similar in age and experience and soon came together.
On the eve of the founding of New China, Charlie and Lee-Li Can were worried that their past identities would bring trouble, so they took Chen Lili to Hong Kong. They left in a hurry and had no time to go back to their hometown to pick up their children.
In this way, Jackie Chan's two brothers and two sisters were abandoned by their parents at an early age and became "orphans".
Shortly after he came to Hong Kong, Charles and Lee-Li Can and Chen Lili formally got married. Although Hong Kong had not returned to China at that time, Charles and Li-Li Can were worried that their past identities would be in trouble, so they took their wives' surnames and changed their names to "Chen Zhiping".
1954, Chen Lili gave birth to a son. As the child was born in Hongkong, Charles and Lee Li Can (Chen Zhiping) named him "Chen Gangsheng", which became an international superstar Jackie Chan.
Charles and Lee Li Can are cooks in Hong Kong, while Chen Lili is a servant in Hong Kong. A family of three lives in poverty, but they can barely make ends meet. Compared with his two brothers and two sisters who stayed in the mainland, Jackie Chan's childhood can be said to be much happier.
Affected by the current situation, Chen Lili, who is far away from Hong Kong, has been unable to hear from her two daughters. As a mother, she is very concerned about her daughters, but she is also helpless.
It was not until the early 1980s that he finally got in touch with his second daughter and learned from her that she was married and her husband's surname was Sun.
Chen Guilan also told his mother Chen Lili that his sister Chen Yulan was married. For decades, the two sisters missed their mother very much, but they didn't know where she was.
Hearing her daughter in her forties say this, Chen Lili, who is nearly seventy years old, couldn't help crying and repeatedly said that she was sorry for her two daughters.
Jackie Chan has made his debut for a long time and is a famous martial arts actor. Chen Lili told Chen Guilan about it, and the other party knew that he had a star brother.
Although she was abandoned by her mother when she was a child, Chen Guilan had no resentment against her mother. She still vaguely remembers how hard it was for her mother to raise her sister and her after her father died.
Chen Guilan, as an adult, also knows that her mother abandoned them completely out of desperation. I haven't been in touch for decades, which is also affected by the current situation.
After the mother and daughter met, Chen Lili kept in touch with her daughter Chen Guilan. Like her sister, the eldest daughter Chen Yulan knew her mother, but she had much less contact with her mother than her sister.
When they found their two daughters, Chen Lili, Charles and Lee-Li Can had lived in Australia for many years. They have no relatives in Australia. My son Jackie Chan is a big star. He is usually very busy and rarely has the opportunity to visit his parents in Australia.
Chen Lili, who is getting older, envies other elderly families having children to live with, so she asked her second daughter, Chen Guilan, if she would like to move to Australia.
Chen Guilan thought that her children were all grown up and her mother was old, so she agreed to move to Australia. Jackie Chan was very happy when he heard that his second sister was willing to move to Australia to take care of his mother. He immediately spent huge sums of money to buy a suite near his parents' mansion and let his sister and brother-in-law live for free.
After going to Australia, whenever Jackie Chan visited his parents, Chen Guilan had a chance to meet his younger brother. Compared with Jackie Chan's other three brothers and sisters, she has the most contact with Jackie Chan.
Although her younger brother is an international superstar, Chen Guilan has always kept a low profile, even to the point that people around her don't know her true identity.
Until 200 1, Jackie Chan's mother Chen Lili was seriously ill. Some media photographed Chen Guilan in her 60s and her husband often driving a BMW in and out of his mansion in Charles and Lee-Li Can, which made her suspicious.
But when the reporter chased Chen Guilan and asked if she was Jackie Chan's sister, Chen Guilan avoided answering. The reporter asked her if she had seen Jackie Chan these days. Chen Guilan hurriedly waved and said, "I don't know, don't ask."
In early 2002, Jackie Chan's mother, Chen Lili, died of illness. While Chen Lili was ill in bed, her second daughter, Chen Guilan, was in charge of her daily life. Although her mother didn't support her, she died willingly for her mother's pension. It is really admirable to be able to do this kind of filial piety.
Jackie Chan's two brothers and two sisters are both in their seventies and eighties, and their early fate is also very bumpy. Even now, the living standard of these old people can only be described as ordinary, which is not the same as Jackie Chan, the younger brother who is an international superstar.
People often ask, Jackie Chan is so rich, why doesn't he raise his younger brothers and sisters? This problem is actually very complicated. Maybe Jackie Chan gave financial aid to his brother and sister privately, or his brother and sister were unwilling to accept his financial aid.
And really speaking, Jackie Chan, as a younger brother, has no obligation to help his brothers and sisters, so we outsiders should not worry too much about this problem.
