There are many people who are popular only in a narrow circle. Lin Fenjiao is one of Taiwan's most prominent film actresses of the late seventies, but above all, she is a woman with a difficult fate. In the world box office films with her are quite difficult to find, but she is very famous. For 34 years, she is the wife of a world celebrity - Jackie Chan.
Childhood
Lin Fenjiao was born in Taiwan, in a suburb of Taipei. At the age of seven, the girl moved with her parents to the city, where the future actress grew up. The girl’s family was large enough, by the age of nine she had four sisters and a brother. They lived modestly enough and one might even say poorly, so at 13 the girl got a job as a seller.
As soon as Lin turned 18, she and her sister began to earn money as an actress. Her career was successful, and in a short time she starred in 70 films. Over the years, she began to be called the most famous actress in Taiwan.
It has several names due to the fact that in China there are two dialects - Mandarin and Cantonese. Each actor also translates his name into English. In English, the actress is called - Joan Lin, in Mandarin - Lin Fenjiao, and in Cantonese - Lam Fun Gyu. Among the actors, she used most often the Cantonese translation of her name. She and her sister were called the “Two Lamas,” and his friends turned to Gin for a short while.
Lin Fenjiao: filmography
Films featuring Lin were shot mainly for a narrow market, and they were rented in China and other Asian countries. Sister Lin starred with Jackie Chan in several films. Films in the creation of which Fenjiao took part are not translated into Russian and other languages, since they were only available in Asia at the box office.
Most of the paintings in which Gyu starred belong to the genre of melodramas. She also had work in action films or other genres, but the girl always liked more positive and kind films. After the wedding, Lin Fenjiao only watched films, and starred only once in one of Jackie's latest paintings - “Armor of God 3”.
Wedding
In late 1982, Lin and Jackie got married in America. This event attracted the attention of the media, since at that time Chan was already very popular not only in China, but also in the West. The wedding was modest, since at that time the young actress was already 9 months pregnant and the day after entering into a legal marriage gave birth to Jackie the heir. The actors called their son Fang Zu Ming.
Jackie continued to build his career, and Lin Fenjiao began raising her son. She carefully hid from reporters and became a loving wife and mother. In 2000, she moved with her son to Hong Kong, but this practically did not affect her lifestyle. Lin occasionally came out, and her photo was not duplicated tabloids. Initially, the actress’s decision to end her career was associated with the suicide of two Japanese girls who could not bear the news of the marriage of their idol. Later, when the fans reconciled with the idea that their idol had been married for a long time, Lin was sitting at home because of her son, she did not want publicity.
Trials of Fate
The family life of this couple in 1999 was severely tested. Jackie had a daughter from one of his partners in the movie "Magnificent." At that moment, Lin Fenjiao, whose photo was circulated by all the media in connection with the scandal, made a rather wise decision and did not begin to ruin the family. In an interview, she said that this event hurt her very much, and she had an insult, but she trusts her husband and forgives him. Jackie claimed that he had nothing to do with the birth of his daughter. It is on trust and respect that the family life of the spouses is built to this day. In 2002, Jackie dedicated Lin to a song that was on his solo album.
A serious test for Lin was the tricks performed by Jackie in his films. She often sneaks into cinemas for the premieres, and each time her heart sank at the sight of tricks performed by her husband. Over the years of family life, she repeatedly experienced moments when Jackie was seriously injured. Each hospitalization of her husband is a very difficult test for Lin.
"God's armor"
Lin Fenjiao once visited the same set with her husband. She starred in one of Jackie’s latest films, Armor of God 3. We can say that Lin played herself, since she got the role of the wife of Jaycee the Asian hawk. This film, unlike previous works by Lin, you can watch. He was at the box office and translated into almost all languages of the world.
“Armor of God 3” is a continuation of Jaycee’s adventures, so it’s best to see the entire trilogy in order. Jackie Chan's brilliant tricks and comic moments will appeal to those who love the comedy thriller genre. In the third part of the film, you have to follow how the protagonist collects figurines corresponding to the signs of the Chinese horoscope. This turns out to be a rather difficult test, since some of the figures are well guarded, and the other needs to be found among the wreckage of a ship on a tropical island. During the hunt for antiquities, Jayce confronts competitors, pirates and difficulties in relations with his wife.
