When you identify yourself as a person from Hong Kong, there are always a few responses, claiming they know Jackie Chan, even with some energetic Kung-Fu style gestures in hand.

This is not just my experience, quite a number of friends expressed #metoo , while I announced on social media that I would write into this. They overwhelmingly expressed their contempt against the once an icon of Hong Kong. And they seem all agree, it is an embarrassment and even a nightmare scenario, when foreigners mention Jackie Chan to them these days.

A “mistake” 20 years ago “that any man would commit”

People in Hong Kong, or at least quite a number of them, has disliked Kung-Fu star Mr. Jackie Chan for 20 years, and a bizarre episode in Chan’s family surfaced few days ago may suggest you the reasons behind.

Meanwhile in Canada, Chan’s daughter out of wedlock, Etta Ng was reported appealed to the Internet, that she is running out of cash with her girlfriend.
