Jackie Chan

Who doesn't know Jackie Chan? A Hong Kong martial arts master, an action star, a singer. He's also an action choreographer, film maker, a director, a producer, a screenwriter, an entrepreneur, stun performer, and what else do your know about him? Let's know more about this brilliant man. :)

EARLY LIFE
Jackie Chan was born on 7 April 1954, in Victoria Peak, in the former Crown colony of Hong Kong, as Chan Kong-sang to Charles and Lee-Lee Chan, refugees from the Chinese Civil War. He was nicknamed PaoPao (Chinese: 炮炮, literally meaning "Cannonball") because the high-energy child was always rolling around. Since his parents worked for the French Consul to Hong Kong, Chan spent his formative years within the grounds of the consul's residence in the Victoria Peak district.



Chan attended the Nah-Hwa Primary School on Hong Kong Island, where he failed his first year, after which his parents withdrew him from the school. In 1960, his father immigrated to Canberra, Australia, to work as the head cook for the American embassy, and Chan was sent to the China Drama Academy, a Peking Opera School run by Master Yu Jim-yuen. Chan trained rigorously for the next decade, excelling in martial arts and acrobatics. He eventually became part of the Seven Little Fortunes, a performance group made up of the school's best students, gaining the stage name Yuen Lo in homage to his master. Chan became close friends with fellow group members Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, the three of them later to be known as the Three Brothers or Three Dragons.

Chan joined his parents in Canberra in 1976, where he briefly attended Dickson College and worked as a construction worker. A fellow builder named Jack took Chan under his wing, earning Chan the nickname of "Little Jack" which was later shortened to "Jackie" and the name Jackie Chan stuck with him ever since. In addition, in the late 90s, Chan changed his Chinese name to Fong Si-lung (Chinese: 房仕龍), since his father's original surname was Fong.

FUN FACTS
- Jackie Chan was in the womb for a full 12 months.
- Jackie was just 8 years old when he played in Big and Little Wong Tin-bar.
- During the filming of 'Armour Of God', Jackie suffered a brain hemorrhage.
- Jackie's real name is Chan Kong-Sang, means 'Born in Hong Kong'.
- He played the Japanese villian in 'The Heroine, it's his first movie as an adult.
- Jackie had a near fatal head injury while making Armour of God. It happened when he jumped off a wall onto a tree branch, which unfortunately snapped, leaving Jackie to fall 40ft!
- Sammo is older than Jackie and protected him from bullies when Jackie was having a tough time. Yuen Biao is younger than Jackie and Jackie helped and protected him when Yuen was having a tough time. The three were all so talented that they all appeared in the "Seven Little Fortunes".
- Jackie's father offered to sell Jackie to the doctor who delivered him for a mere $26 because he could not afford to raise him but the doctor declined. Another version of this story the Doctor offerred to buy Jackie, and the father declined.
- Jackie had a major setback during the filming of 'Crime Story'. He crushed both of his legs when he was caught between two cars. It was one of the most serious injuries of his career.
- While shooting a fight scene in 'Snake in the Eagle's Shadow', Jackie's arm was slashed so severely that blood gushed everywhere. Jackie fell down screaming in pain. Unbelievably, the camera continued to roll and caught it all on film. So the reaction you saw in the movie is Jackie's genuine reaction to his injury.
- Jackie Chan admitted that he acted in a porn movie 36 years ago. Hong Kong netizens tipped local media that Chan was in the porn movie "All in the Family" in 1975, with a porn movie star who was famous at that time.
- Has a thimble sized hole in his head from a failed stunt. (He fell fifty feet and his head landed on a rock).

I've just changed my domain name from www.budimanjojo.blogspot.com to www.budimanjojo.co.cc, how did I do it? Follow this tutorial to find out:
1. First of all, all u have to do is to have your own domain. What is domain? Domain is the last word of your blog address (URL), for example the default domain of your blogger is blogspot.com. Long and complicated to type, isn't it? Where can u get your own domain? U can get it from many servers from all over the world, and it usually charges u some money monthly or yearly depending on the server. For me, I used the FREE domain server, co.cc.
2. To get the domain from co.cc, u have to visit their website at www.co.cc or u can click here to get u there. After getting there, before u go to the next step, make sure your desired domain is available. Simply type in your desired blog's name in the box at the top of the webpage, click check availability. If the result shown in green colored is available, means that that name hasn't being used by others or it is available. And if it shown in red colored is not available, means that it's unavailable and u need to find another name.
3. After making sure it is available, u need to click continue to registration and click create an account now if u haven't have your own account there or sign in if u have one :-)
4. After signing up or in your own account, u have to setup your domain or they will delete your domain after 3 days without setting up. Click Setup, Zone Records. After that, fill in the required data like this:
Host: www.yourdesiredname.co.cc
TTL: 1 D
Type: CNAME
Value: ghs.google.com
After that, make another 4 with the Host without www. (yourdesiredname.cc.co) and change the type to A. Each of them will have 4 different Value, for example: 216.239.32.21 ; 216.239.34.21 ; 216.239.36.21 ; 216.239.38.21.
5. Now u have finished making your own domain. To change your blogspot.com to co.cc, follow my next tutorial :-)
