Jackie Chan

Stunning marital acrobatic stunts are what made Jackie Chan the most popular hero of 20th-century action movies. He was born in 1954 in a poor Chinese family. His parents, Charles Chan and Lili Chang, fled to Hong Kong from persecution during the civil war in China. The actor’s father could not stay away during such important political events and fought for the country’s independence.

The political struggle of Charles Chan began at the age of 20, when he became a member of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. During the Second World War, he was captured by the Japanese and imprisoned, but political connections helped Charles free himself.
