Kung fu superstar Jackie Chan has joined officials in Beijing to launch the Olympic Music Week.

Chan lent his vocal chords to Beijing's bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics, and recorded a song called "Wake Up Winter" to support the campaign.

He was awarded with a certificate by Beijing governmental officials.

"It's a big honor and pleasure to participate in this and do something for the Winter Olympics bidding. If there is anything I can do, I will," he said. 

"Wake Up Winter" helped soundtrack the visit of the International Olympic Committee when they visited the Chinese capital in March.

Beijing is trying to become the first city to host both the Winter and the Summer Olympics. The winner will be announced in July at the IOC session in Malaysia.

Chan was also involved in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, performing his track "We Are Ready" at the closing ceremony.
