Jackie Chan aims to promote culture

Jackie Chan recalled the moment he received the Academy Honorary Award for his lifelong effort to persist in making movies in his own comic-action style.

Chan, a CPPCC National Committee member, was attending a news conference on culture for the fifth session of the 12th CPPCC National Committee during the two sessions in Beijing on Tuesday.

"I used to act in roles that I was not suitable for in Hollywood. Now, after 30 years, I see China's development, I see China's big film market, and I see every important thing happening here. I know it's not me who earns respect, it's the country, and its 1.4 billion people who back me up," he said.
