Can you believe it? "Our brother is internationally famous!" The two brothers, who were ordinary workers, were also shocked when they first learned of this. But this happened to Jackie Chan's two half-brothers. So what kind of development has there been between them and Jackie Chan?
Fang Shilong (i.e. Jackie Chan), whose father was named Fang Daolong, was born in 1914 and lived in Wuhu, Anhui Province. He and his wife gave birth to two sons in 1940 and 1946, the eldest son was called Fang Shide and the second son was called Fang Shisheng. These are Fang Shilong's two older brothers.
But when the "old dragon" father was 36 years old, he resolutely separated from his two sons, and it was not until after 35 that the father and son met again.
Fang Daolong first went south to Hong Kong when Fang Shide was 7 years old and Fang Shisheng was 1 year old, that is, in 1947. But he returned to his hometown of Wuhu after a while. But in the following year, ShiDe and Shi Sheng's mother, his original wife, died.
Just two years later, in 1950, Fang Daolong went south to Macau alone, and once he never returned, his two sons left him in his hometown of Wuhu. The two children can be said to have no father and no mother, which makes people can't bear to be sad when they think about it. More bitter is still to come, and within a few years, the only grandparents the two children can rely on have passed away. Helplessly, the two children, the eldest of only 10 years old, once became prodigal sons on the street.
Fang Shilong's relationship is really rich, he has two half-brothers and two half-sisters. This has to start with Fang Daolong - after arriving in Macau, he went to Hong Kong, and three years after he got along with Ms. Chen Lili and married the two, he gave birth to his youngest son, Fang Shilong. It is interesting that Chen Lili and her ex-husband already have two daughters.
Back to the two children in Wuhu, their childhood can be described as quite difficult, with nothing to rely on. The two lived instinctively. They would never have imagined that their father would live happily with the regrouped family, and they would never even remember them.
You know, in those days, it was good to be able to eat and wear warmth. But the two brothers, who have no father and no mother, rely on their ability and ability to fight, unbelievably have their own family. Among them, the younger brother Shisheng also had his brother to take care of, but the eldest brother Shide did not know how hard it was to come.
Life in Hong Kong was fulfilling. In 1985, the youngest son, Fang Shilong, also became famous in the acting industry. At this moment, the old man thought of his hometown of Anhui and his two sons. After all, he had not returned for a long time, and he first obtained the contact information of his two sons through others, and only after two months, he personally returned to Wuhu. The two brothers, De and Sheng, were also reunited with their fathers again. This period is separated by 35 years.
(The picture above shows Fang Shisheng and his wife and Fang Daolong.) ）
However, at this time, Fang Shide was already a 45-year-old middle-aged man, and Fang Daolong was already a 71-year-old man. At the beginning, when Fang Daolong left, Fang Shisheng was only 2 years old, and now he did not recognize this father at all. Only Fang Shide still vaguely remembers.
From their father,they knew that in Hong Kong, they had a younger brother. His stage name is Jackie Chan. Or the kind that is particularly well-known. But considering the younger brother's star path, Fang Daolong was not willing to let the two brothers bother him.
Although Fang Daolong was an extremely irresponsible father, under traditional thinking, ShiDe and Shi Sheng still respected him very much. Since their father warned them, they had never revealed that their brother was Jackie Chan. He didn't take the initiative to contact this brother.
In fact, Fang Shilong has returned to his hometown in Anhui, and he and Shide and Shisheng have just been reunited. It all happened in 2013.
At this time, some people will ask, obviously the brothers have made contact, and Fang Shilong is so rich, why don't you help the two poor brothers? In fact, the two older brothers also said plainly, the younger brother can come back to recognize the ancestors and return to the sect, as for what funding, they will not want it. First of all, they are honest people who are willing to live on their own ability. It's not great, but it's going to go on. As for their children and grandchildren, the brothers did not want them to be dependent; moreover, they promised their father not to participate in the life of their younger brother Fang Shilong.
But in 2001, the two brothers could not contact their father. This reminds me of when my father left when I was a child.
It turned out that his father Fang Daolong had passed away. This is what the two brothers learned about in the media in 2008. Their father left like this, they didn't know it, and they wanted to do their part in filial piety. They wanted to see their father one last time, to attend his funeral. At this time, the only one who could help them was his younger brother Fang Shilong. But they only knew that their brother was Jackie Chan and had never been in contact. So I planned to help relay it through the media.
There are a lot of media outlets that are very happy to help them report it. But they didn't get a response from Jackie Chan's side. As soon as the time passed, the brothers missed their father's funeral.
Although they could not see their father for the last time, the two brothers did not give up, and they wanted to see their brother Fang Shilong with their own eyes, so that they could not regret it.
Big brother Fang Shide still wants to rely on the media. As recently as 2012, he made a cameo appearance on Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Very Good". At that time, the host was Meng Fei and Guo Degang, in front of them, Fang Shide finally declared to the public that he and Fang Shisheng were Jackie Chan's half-brothers, and they wanted Jackie Chan to come to Anhui and wanted to meet him in person.
This time, the hopes of the two brothers were finally realized. The following year, on August 31, 2013, their younger brother Fang Shilong (Jackie Chan) came to Wuhu, Anhui Province. The three brothers finally met.
Although Jackie Chan claimed to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he brought a group of people over. But their trip was rather low-key. Before traveling, Jackie Chan got in touch with the Fang Shide family and asked them to tell their families not to cause a big movement, so as not to cause a sensation in public opinion. Therefore, after Jackie Chan left, the media became aware of it.
Fang Shilong's return made the entire Fang relatives very excited. Some relatives even printed welcome banners, but Jackie Chan still felt that it was too high-profile and immediately asked them to withdraw.
Finally, the three brothers met well. The eldest brother immediately took the younger brother to the Fang Ancestral Hall and made a good offering. After that, the eldest brother also took out the Fang family genealogy compiled by his father, and the relationship and information in it were clear at a glance - Fang Shide and Fang Shisheng were born to Fang Daolong and his original wife, and Fang Daolong had a young son Fang Shilong with his wife Chen in Hong Kong, now known as Jackie Chan. Even the grandson Fang Zu's name is also recorded on it, and the name is Fang Shu's name.
Since this meeting, the three brothers have never seen each other again, or even contacted again. Some people speculate that Fang Shilong is worried that the two brothers in Anhui will compete with him for Fang Daolong's inheritance. In this regard, the two brothers gave a firm denial.
It is also enough to prove that people of the same class, albeit in different circumstances. But the blood of the three people is silently linked to this. I just don't know if they'll ever get together again.
