Jackie Chan is originally from Wuhu, Anhui.
Jackie Chan was born on April 7, 1954 in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and his ancestral home is Fangqiao Village, Shenxiang Town, Jiujiang District, Wuhu City, Anhui Province. This is based on many media investigative reports. According to these media reports, Jackie Chan's ancestors have lived in Anhui for more than 500 years, so according to custom, Jackie Chan's ancestral home is in Anhui.
Fang Henggui, secretary-general of the Chinese Fang Clan Association, believes that Jackie Chan’s ancestral home is not Linzi, Shandong. Since Jackie Chan's ancestors lived in Hexian, Anhui for many years, his ancestral home should be Hexian, Anhui.
Although according to the genealogy, Jackie Chan’s ancestor Fang Sheng is the direct descendant of Fang Xuanling’s descendant Fang Daoling, there is no relationship between Fang Xuanling and Fang Daoling. There are continuous records, so Jackie Chan’s ancestral home should be Hexian, Anhui, where his grandfather or father’s family has lived for a long time, rather than Fang Xuanling’s ancestral home in Linzi, Shandong.
