Preface
In the hearts of many people, the air abroad seems to be particularly "sweet", so much so that after making a lot of money in China, they choose to immigrate abroad, not only entrepreneurs, but also many actors.
But there are always some people who are exceptions, and they have never changed their nationality in the face of foreign temptations, even if they have applied for foreign nationality because of some things, but they have firmly chosen to be Chinese again.
Zhang Yimou
As one of the professional directors of large-scale scenes in the mainland, Zhang Yimou has contributed a lot of famous scenes on the stage of showing himself to the world on many continents.
However, a few years ago, Zhang Yimou was also deeply involved in the "superbirthgate", which attracted widespread attention.
It turned out that Zhang Yimou and his wife Chen Ting gave birth to three children in violation of regulations during the family planning period, and in order to evade responsibility, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting did not receive a marriage certificate, which means that the children were born out of wedlock.
But regardless of whether it is a legitimate child or not, it is an irrefutable fact that Zhang Yimou violated the law and gave birth to a child, so the court where Zhang Yimou's household registration is located imposed a fine of more than 7.48 million yuan on Zhang Yimou in accordance with the law.
But if Zhang Yimou is a foreign national, the millions of fines do not need to be paid, and Zhang Yimou has already applied for a U.S. green card in 1990.
However, Zhang Yimou still paid the fine in one lump sum, because he had returned his green card a few years ago, and now he is completely Chinese.
At the beginning, the green card was also so that his daughter could go to school abroad, and after the matter was completed, Zhang Yimou withdrew the green card, and as a Chinese, he continued to contribute to the mainland's film industry.
Jackie chan
When it comes to nationality, we have to mention Jackie Chan, who made a name for himself in Hollywood, he is Chinese and a martial arts star respected all over the world.
In his early years, Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong, and then his parents moved abroad together, and only returned to Hong Kong when he was older.
After the movie "Red Fan Zone" achieved extraordinary results in North America, Jackie Chan officially entered the Hollywood market, and in the following years, many movies shot by Jackie Chan had very good results in Hollywood, becoming one of Hollywood's first-line actors.
However, Jackie Chan, who has been developing in Hollywood for many years, has never become an American citizen, and although he lives in the United States, he always misses his motherland in his heart.
Because his son was born in the United States, the child was an American citizen from the beginning, but Jackie Chan didn't want his son to be an American citizen, so he helped his son apply for mainland citizenship after he was a little older.
Not only has Jackie Chan never changed nationality, but he also won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2016, the only Chinese winner in the history of the award.
Jackie Chan has taken mainland action movies to a new level, and now at the age of 70, he is still dedicating himself to the cause he loves.
Donnie
Jackie Chan brought mainland action movies to the world, and in addition to him, Donnie Yen and others have also made a lot of contributions.
Donnie Yen was born in Guangzhou, then moved to Hong Kong with his parents, and immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 11.
And Donnie Yen learned martial arts since he was a child, so he was very interested in martial arts, at that time Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and other martial arts stars were already famous, Donnie Yen loved their movies very much, and even skipped school to watch them.
Later, Donnie Yen fell in love with kickboxing, but his mother didn't know the sport, so she sent him back to China to learn martial arts, and after completing his studies, he returned to the United States to participate in local competitions and win the championship.
Later, Donnie Yen entered the showbiz, starred in many movies, and gradually became famous in the mainland.
Because he became popular in the mainland, some people picked up the fact that he was not a Chinese national, but in the face of such accusations, Donnie Yen rarely responded.
In 2013, Donnie Yen promoted his new movie, during which reporters asked him about his nationality, and he revealed that he had returned his American citizenship four years ago.
Donnie Yen got a green card in the United States because his family immigrated in the early years, but after growing up and having his own ability, Donnie Yen chose to return to Chinese nationality and found his sense of belonging to the country.
serenity
Tranquility, who is famous for her domineering personality in the entertainment industry, has also experienced nationality turmoil.
In the early days, Tranquility starred in films directed by Jiang Wen and became famous, and then filmed many works that are familiar to the audience, and in 1996, Tranquility fell in love with an American actor and got married, and she herself settled in the United States.
Later, she gave birth to her own child in the United States, because her husband is an American, so Tranquility has been suspected many times that she has changed her nationality, but she has never responded.
After two years of marriage, Tranquility divorced her husband for personality reasons and raised her son alone in China.
Even though he has returned to China, the issue of his nationality has always been used as a topic of conversation by everyone, and later a list of nationalities appeared on the Internet, on which the quiet nationality was written in the United States.
is also because of the interruption of my life and work, Tranquility responded to his identity as a Chinese nationality on social platforms, and also posted his household registration book.
After that, he directly released his passport, so that the rumor-mongering stopped.
As a serenity who married to the United States, she could have applied for a green card to the United States, but instead of doing so, she firmly chose her own country.
L
Liu Yifei is the perfect goddess in the hearts of many people, and the TV series she starred in when she was a minor has become the white moonlight that many people will never forget.
But few people know that Liu Yifei is actually an American citizen.
Because his mother lives in the United States, she has lived with her mother since she was a child, and her mother changed her to the United States.
Although he is an American citizen, Liu Yifei always thinks that he is Chinese in his heart, and has repeatedly made it clear that he is a Chinese on public platforms.
Because naturalization in the mainland is very difficult, Liu Yifei did not apply for mainland nationality, but since her heart is biased towards China, she is essentially Chinese.
epilogue
Now that the mainland has become stronger and stronger, only by loving our motherland can actors go further on the road of acting.
