Why is Jackie Chan named Fang and Chen?

Jackie Chan's father Fang Daolong was born in Jiujiang District, Wuhu City, Anhui Province. Before meeting Jackie Chan's mother, Fang Daolong had already given birth to two sons, Fang Shide and Fang Shisheng, with his first wife. In 1947, Fang Daolong changed his name to Chen Zhiping after arriving in Hong Kong and married Jackie Chan's mother.

Fang Daolong changed his name to Chen Zhiping before marrying Jackie Chan's mother, so Jackie Chan's original name was Chen Gangsheng, and he later changed his name to Fang Shilong.

Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong on April 7, 1954. His ancestral home is Wuhu, Anhui. He is an actor, director, action director, producer, screenwriter and singer in Hong Kong, China.

Extended information:

Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong and moved to Australia with his parents since he was a child. He often got into fights and troubles when he was a child, so he dropped out of school after the first grade of elementary school and stayed home.

After Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong with his family in 1961, he became his master under Yu Zhanyuan. In the same year, he entered the China Drama Academy founded by Yu Zhanyuan to learn stage makeup and stage performance skills. While studying at the China Academy of Drama, Jackie Chan's stage name was Yuan Lou. During a Peking Opera performance, his performance with Yuan Long, Yuan Tai, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao and others attracted attention, so the seven formed the "Seven Little Fortunes".
