Actually, this is a long story. Jackie Chan’s original name is Chen Gangsheng. Born in Hong Kong, China in 1954. However, in fact, his ancestors were not born and raised in Hong Kong, but from Wuhu, Anhui.
Jackie Chan once had several aliases, such as Yuan Lou, Chen Yuanlong, etc. The reason why Jackie Chan's son is named Fang Zuming is because Jackie Chan's father's name is Fang Daolong.
Fang Daolong is from Wuhu County, Anhui Province. He was married and had two sons when he was in Wuhu, Anhui Province. However, in 1947, due to some reasons, he immigrated to Hong Kong. , and changed his name to Chen Zhiping. While in Hong Kong, Jackie Chan's father met his mother and named Jackie Chan Hong Kong-sheng.
Afterwards, Chen Gangsheng joined the film and television industry and successively used stage names such as Yuan Lou. In fact, the stage name Yuan Lou is collectively known as the "Seven Little Fortunes" together with Yuan Long, Yuan Tai, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao and others. .
The most popular characters in the "Seven Little Fortunes" era were Yuan Hua and Yuan Biao, while Jackie Chan mostly appeared in supporting roles. Among the martial arts stars, Jackie Chan's performance at that time was not outstanding and he had no obvious personal characteristics, so his development was not smooth.
In 1976, Jackie Chan was discovered by director Luo Wei. Trying to make him China's second Bruce Lee. And changed his name to Jackie Chan.
But Bruce Lee’s kung fu has reached its extreme. It is simply impossible for Jackie Chan to become the second Bruce Lee. At this time, Jackie Chan found another way and discovered the path of kung fu comedy, thus ushering in his own His "Jackie Chan Era".
After becoming famous, Jackie Chan has been committed to promoting traditional Chinese culture, and he also recognized his ancestors and changed his son's surname back to Fang Zu, naming him after Fang Zu!
