After many years, his naughty niece Jade Chan, who was sent to Jackie for re-education, will go the same way.
Uncle Chan contains a small Chinese antique store that sells antiquities, including those found by Jackie. The shop is located on the ground floor of the house where Uncle Chan, Jackie Chan and his niece live. Jade Chan is sent to school, which her uncle once graduated from.

Where did the talismans and the main villain come from
Sheduyu was the ruler of China for many thousands of years, but then switched to the side of evil. He did a lot of dark things in the country before the mighty ancient Chinese warrior-wizard Luo Pei defeated Shendu, who became a fire demon, with a powerful spell. His power was enclosed in magical talismans with images of animals that were scattered around the world so that no one could bring them together.
Shendu was enclosed in a statue of a Chinese dragon, which hangs in the office of the head of the criminal syndicate "Hand of Darkness." The demon invites Valmont to collect the talismans in exchange for unthinkable treasures. When all 12 are brought together, they will help return Shendu to his magical powers. His plans were to call the army of dragons and bring down revenge on the descendants of the people who rebelled against him. The adventures of Jackie Chan and Jade begin because of the machinations of the demon and his accomplices. For five seasons of the series, Chany will defeat Shendu, but each time he will return to do evil.
