Jackie Chan, formerly known as Chen Gangsheng, father Fang Daolong (Chen Zhiping), mother Chen Lili (Chen Yuerong), a family of three, one lives a happy life.
But as parents get older, more and more of the past is revealed.
At this time, Jackie Chan found that he who thought he was an only child actually had not only an older brother, but also a sister, but also two older brothers and two older sisters.
Why did Jackie Chan never know the existence of these 4 people? No way, he was famous at a young age, and his parents tried in every possible way to protect him in order to protect his star image, so Jackie Chan did not know anything about those characters who were not in his life in the first place.
I have to say that to be ruthless, it is really Jackie Chan's parents.
At that time, Fang Daolong was not from Hong Kong or Anhui, he was born in Shandong. It is said that when he was 9 years old, he fled to Anhui Province, and later lived in Fangqiao Village, Shenxiang Town, Jiujiang District, Wuhu, Anhui.
Open the Fang family tree, you can see this record: Daolong (Jackie Chan's father) was born on December 22, 1915, when he was ugly, hired Yin, gave birth to a second son, Chang Shide, Cishisheng, continued overseas, his name in the year of his life is unknown, he gave birth to a son, and his stage name was Jackie Chan.
Now it is understood that Jackie Chan's father had a family in Anhui before he went to Hong Kong, but his wife died early, and it was not easy to live with his two sons. Later, because of the victory of the Liberation War, Fang Daolong had to leave his hometown to continue his life.
At that time, his two sons, one 8 years old and the other 2 years old, could not care, left them at home, and fled directly to Shanghai by himself.
In Shanghai, Fang Daolong met Chen Lili, and the fellow villager saw the fellow villager, and his eyes were full of tears. Moreover, the fate of drifting together made them feel sorry for each other, and soon came together.
Chen Lili was born in Wuhu, Anhui Province, to a middle-class family. It's just that because of the war, her husband was killed, leaving her two daughters and herself, and life is miserable.
The mother-in-law was uneasy and kind, and wanted to sell Lily Chen. Unwilling to be hit by fate, Lily Chen left her two daughters and fled to Shanghai.
In order to survive, she did not hesitate to take risks and smuggle opium.
At that time, Fang Daolong took care of Lily Chen with his identity as a staff member of the Intelligence Bureau. Therefore, after they came together, they once took Lily Chen's two daughters to live together.
But later Shanghai was also liberated, and Fang Daolong transferred to Hong Kong. It was not easy for Lily Chen to bring her two daughters alone, and in the end she could only send them back to her hometown, and then go to Hong Kong alone to find a husband
In this regard, Lily Chen separated from her two daughters.
However, Lily Chen is not the most ruthless, because she sends letters to her two daughters from time to time. Especially in 1961, after she and Fang Daolong moved to Australia to settle down, she would often write to her daughter.
At that time, Chen Lili's eldest daughter Chen Guilan had already been married, and her husband was working in the army. But because Chen Guilan had such an overseas relationship as her mother Chen Lili, her husband was eventually dismissed early and returned home.
Originally, I wanted my mother to cover herself a little wind and rain, but I didn't expect that Chen Guilan's storms in her life came from her mother. In addition to not raising it since she was a child, she also let her take care of her little sister Chen Yulan.
Finally, Chen Guilan got married, and because of Lily Chen's relationship, her husband lost his job. Chen Guilan's suffering in those years must only be experienced by herself.
However, Fang Daolong, since he left his two sons, has never asked whether he is dead or alive, and has not contacted his two sons for more than thirty years. It's really rare to see a father doing this.
It was not until the 80s of the 20th century, when national policies were liberalized, that Fang Daolong tried to get in touch with his son. But at that time, he was just a person who returned to Guangzhou to meet his son, and did not tell them: Your brother is Jackie Chan.
In fact, the survival of Fang Daolong and Lily Chen was very tortuous at that time. It was also very difficult to go to Australia that year, and once sent Jackie Chan to learn martial arts under Zhan Yuan for ten years.
I don't know if it's human nature or forced by life, anyway, the ruthlessness of this couple is not available to ordinary people. There were five children in total, almost all of them were left behind.
It's just that Jackie Chan is the luckiest one, he not only entered the entertainment industry because of learning martial arts, but also became famous young because of his superb skills, and began his own road to martial arts stars at the age of 17.
At this time, Fang Daolong and Lily Chen had also established themselves in Australia, and paid more attention to Jackie Chan.
In order to make his son develop better, almost all the "obstacles" around him were cleared for him: Fang Daolong's two sons did not know that their younger brother was Jackie Chan, and Chen Lili's two daughters could not say that they and Long Cheng were a mother.
At this time, Chen Guilan and Chen Yulan already had their own lives, although they had suffered, tired, and lonely, but the reality of sisters relying on each other had made her get used to it.
Suddenly, one day, the middle-aged sister Chen Guilan suddenly received an overseas call from her mother from Australia.
Although Fang Daolong only occasionally went back to his hometown to visit his two sons, he never thought of taking them to live with him.
Lily Chen is different, she didn't think about taking her daughter over, but because she got older, she began to rely on her daughter.
Although Jackie Chan is famous, she can't see her son all the time. And, for the sake of her son, she must keep a low-key distance from him.
Under such circumstances, once she had a connection with her two daughters, Lily Chen began to rely deeply on her two daughters.
Jackie Chan saw this very clearly, and in the end, he ruthlessly took his sister Chen Guilan to Australia, let her live with her mother, and bought a villa for her.
I haven't raised since childhood, I haven't seen it when I grow up, and I suddenly want my daughter to retire when I am old, and such a mother is really rare.
But Lily Chen took it for granted. Moreover, in her opinion, her daughter is far better in Australia than in Anhui.
It's just that Chen Guilan is the real hardship, and when she came to Australia with her husband at an age, she couldn't tell the outside world that she was Jackie Chan's sister, but took care of her elderly mother like a nanny. Especially in the later stages, the mother had Alzheimer's, which exhausted almost all of her middle-aged energy.
Once, when the media found Chen Guilan of Jackie Chan's family, she felt strange, so she asked her what her relationship was with Jackie Chan, but she said this: "I don't know, don't ask me, I won't answer you." ”
Chen Guilan's life was until the death of her mother Chen Lili, if it were not for her care, you can imagine the loneliness and helplessness of Chen Lili's old age. Even if there is a famous son like Jackie Chan, he must not have such meticulous and warm care, right?
However, compared to Lily Chen, Fang Daolong is even more desperate, in order to keep his son Jackie Chan's career unaffected, he did not let his two sons reunite with him until the day of his death, let alone let them participate in his funeral. When Jackie Chan met his two brothers, he was already middle-aged.
If the times have created some tragedies, then the human heart is the source that makes the tragedy more profound, fame and wealth, identity and class, all of which are vividly expressed in them.
