Jackie Chan can be said to be a well-deserved kung fu superstar, and his position in the film industry is very important.
Over the years, he has continued to showcase his skills on the screen, bringing Chinese martial arts to the international stage and captivating audiences around the world.
However, Jackie Chan's life is not only glorious, but also painful choices.
In the 80s of the 20th century, Jackie Chan developed his career in Hollywood and gradually emerged. Seeing his commercial value in the United States, many people tried their best to lure him into becoming an American citizen, and offered him lucrative terms and promised to give him all kinds of conveniences.
Jackie Chan could have gained unprecedented wealth and status as a result, but he did not waver and rejected the offer outright. Jackie Chan firmly stated that he is Chinese at heart, and no matter how much success he achieves, he will never abandon his nationality.
However, Jackie Chan's son Fang Zuming did not absorb his father's patriotic spirit. Fang Zuming, who was not yet 30 years old, changed his nationality to the United States without authorization, which made Jackie Chan very sad.
When the news reached Jackie Chan's ears, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately began to apply for the nationality of Fang Zuming to be changed back to China. For this reason, Jackie Chan traveled for several days and finally completed the procedures and changed his son's nationality to China again.
Jackie Chan's action proves that he regards nationality as his life, and he will never tolerate the slightest betrayal or abandonment. His dedication to his son's change of nationality also shows his loyalty and persistence to the motherland.
Jackie Chan's choice is admirable, and he has practiced what is called true patriotism with practical actions. If a person can't even keep his own nationality, how can he talk about other responsibilities and responsibilities? Jackie Chan's experience reminds us that nationality is not only a symbol, but also a guardian of the feelings of family and country.
In the 80s of the 20th century, the then rising singer Fei Yuqing came to Japan to develop his career and sang in a bar. One day, while singing on stage, he noticed that a Japanese girl came to listen to his performance every day.
The eyes of the two often met, and they gradually became affectionate. Later, Fei Yuqing met this girl named Chie Yasui, and the two fell in love at first sight, dated frequently, and finally established a romantic relationship.
This transnational relationship was originally beautiful, but when the two decided to get engaged, Yasui's family put forward a condition - Fei Yuqing must give up his Chinese nationality and become a Japanese citizen in order to get married.
This request put Fei Yuqing in a dilemma, and he was faced with the choice of giving up his nationality for love. Fei Yuqing thought about it day and night, he was troubled, he couldn't imagine that he would give up his Chinese nationality, but he couldn't bear to give up the girl he loved.
After repeated entanglements, Fei Yuqing still chose nationality. He found Chie Yasui with red eyes, and solemnly said that he could not change his nationality for a relationship, because he had Chinese blood in his bones.
Although Chie Yasui was sad, she understood Fei Yuqing's choice. In the end, they had to give up on this transnational romance and broke up painfully.
Fei Yuqing paid the price of his feelings, but he did not regret his decision. Today, Xu Xu is still single, and perhaps he will never be able to forget Chie Yasui in his heart.
But Fei Yuqing proved with his actions that the spirit of patriotism and protecting nationality is above all feelings and temptations. It is with such a firm belief that he has made his music career better and better, and has won the love of the majority of listeners.
Ang Lee is a master director in today's film industry, who has lived in the United States for many years, but has never renounced his Chinese citizenship and regarded himself as a Chinese director. On important days or award ceremonies, Ang Lee will carefully wear a Chinese Tang costume to show his Chinese heritage.
A reporter once asked him why he did not consider becoming an American citizen, and Li Ang replied: "I am Chinese, and Chinese culture flows in my bones, which is my most valuable wealth."
In 2008, Ang Lee's film "Lust and Caution" won the Best Feature Film award at Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, but at that time, cross-strait relations were still sensitive, and Ang Lee was unable to attend the award in person.
To this end, he specially recorded a video of receiving the award, put on a Tang costume, and expressed his heart with Chinese: "I am Chinese director Ang Lee, and I am honored to receive this award...... Ang Lee's words and deeds fully demonstrate his pride and recognition of Chinese identity.
Ang Lee's daughter lives in the United States and has also obtained a U.S. green card. But Ang Lee did not hesitate to ask his daughter to give up her U.S. green card, because Chinese should retain Chinese nationality.
He didn't want his flesh and blood to take root in a foreign country, and insisted on passing on the seeds of Chinese culture. Ang Lee uses his own choices to explain what it means to be patriotic, he regards nationality as glory, and will never change his position because of where he lives.
It is this emotion and spirit that has made Ang Lee, a Chinese director who plays a pivotal role in the international film industry.
As a heavyweight director in the film industry, Zhang Yimou has directed many films that have won international acclaim. But in 2014, a scandal suddenly shattered his well-built image.
Someone reported with his real name that Zhang Yimou and his fiancée Zhang Tingchao had three children, violating the family planning policy. After the investigation was true, Zhang Yimou was fined a huge amount of 7.48 million yuan.
As soon as the news came out, it was a sensation. Some suggested that Mr. Zhang could consider changing his citizenship to the United States so that he would not have to pay such a large fine. Zhang Yimou fell into deep thought, and he didn't expect that his supernatural behavior would lead to such serious consequences.
7.48 million is indeed not a small number for him. But after some ideological struggle, Zhang Yimou still firmly chose to take responsibility, paid the fine in full at one time, and publicly apologized.
Zhang Yimou said that changing nationality is by no means a good solution to the problem. As a public figure, he should be responsible for society through his actions. It was his fault to be born in excess of his life, and it was his obligation to accept the punishment of the state.
A person's nationality cannot be changed at will, he will always adhere to his Chinese nationality and demonstrate his civic responsibility and responsibility with practical actions.
Zhang Yimou's choice has won unanimous praise from public opinion. Sometimes it takes a price to prove that it is valuable, and Zhang Yimou's story shows that he is not only a brilliant filmmaker, but also a responsible citizen.
His choice to face his mistakes and bear the consequences is worthy of Xi and emulation by the whole society.
Jackie Chan, Fei Yuqing, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, these four outstanding artists have all encountered the choice of choosing nationality. In the face of heavy lure or external suppression, they all chose to defend their Chinese nationality and did not succumb to interests or external forces.
They would rather give up their personal feelings than turn their backs on their homeland.
Among them, Jackie Chan changed his son's nationality back to China at any cost, and Ang Lee asked his daughter to give up her U.S. green card, all of which reflect their insistence on treating nationality as life. Fei Yuqing chose to break up and not change his Japanese nationality, and Zhang Yimou paid a huge fine but refused to escape, which showed their loyalty and adherence to the motherland.
The choices of these four artists have given us profound inspiration. Nationality is not only a legal state, but also a spiritual belonging. If a person cannot even defend his nationality, how can he talk about responsibility and responsibility? Their stories show that patriotism needs to be practiced in action, and everyone needs to consciously safeguard the dignity of the country.
In the face of the temptation of interests, we should all maintain our patriotism, never change our nationality, and practice the patriotic spirit with practical actions.
Jackie Chan, Fei Yuqing, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, these four outstanding artists have different experiences, but they have all experienced the choice to defend their nationality. Rather than seeing nationality as a mere symbol, they recognize that nationality represents a person's identity and loyalty.
Despite the need to give up huge interests or feelings, they still choose to maintain their Chinese nationality because it is an insistence on their bloodline.
Among them, Jackie Chan regards nationality as life and corrects his son's wrong practices with practical actions. Fei Yuqing chose patriotism and gave up his feelings. Ang Lee did not succumb to external forces and demanded that his daughter renounce her foreign nationality.
Zhang Yimou chose to pay the price, but refused to change his nationality. The choices of these artists all show their patriotic feelings and spirit of responsibility.
Today, we live in a changing world, and we also need to have a strong sense of identity and belonging to our nationality. Nationality represents where we come from, and we should be proud of it.
In the face of any temptation, we must be like these artists, firmly defend our nationality and practice patriotism with practical actions. Only in this way can the Chinese nation stand firm and endure in the ever-changing international environment, and can our next generation inherit the proud Chinese bloodline.
It is the duty of each of us to consciously safeguard the dignity of nationality and never change the roots on which we live.
