1993, the comedy movie " Laughing Lin Boy " became popular in Asia and is a childhood memory of many people.
This is the first time that the 4-year-old Shi Xiaolong appears. The cute bald monk is muttering his pacifier and playing neat Shaolin Temple martial arts, which is very cute. High-quality human cubs like
were suddenly popular in Asia.
Shi Xiaolong, who was born in a martial arts family, learned martial arts at the age of 2 and became a martial arts child star at the age of 5. Since then, he has been filming and has grown up on the crew.
The busiest year only has 20 days not to film.
Shi Xiaolong was called a "martial arts genius" since he was a child. Because of his outstanding martial arts performance in film and television dramas, he is known as the successor of action superstars such as Jackie Chan , Donnie Yen , Jet Li , etc.
Now Shi Xiaolong is 34 years old. From a "kung fu boy" who is popular all over the world to an ordinary actor in the entertainment industry. What has he experienced over the years?
Why can't he escape the curse of "child star"?

1988, Shi Xiaolong was born in Shutanggou, Dengfeng City, Henan Province. His original name was Chen Xiaolong .
Shutanggou is the birthplace of two major martial arts styles in Henan Province - Chen's Tai Chi and Shaolin martial arts. Each of the villagers here knows some boxing skills.
When other children were still holding milk in their family's arms, Shi Xiaolong was already taken by his father Chen Tongshan with morning jogging and practicing, and began devilish martial arts training.
Whether it is the cold weather or the scorching sun or the scorching sun, Chen Tongshan, as the principal of Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School, fully demonstrates the "Wolf Dad" parenting style.
He also has a famous nickname "Chen Heihu", who has superb martial arts skills.
Every morning, Shi Xiaolong was pulled up from the bed by Chen Tongshan on time and started a day of martial arts practice.
At a young age, he does difficult martial arts movements. Sometimes he stole a horse for a whole morning and often fell blue and purple.
In the winter, when he couldn't run in the morning, Chen Tongshan tied him to his waist with a rope and dragged him all the way.
Shi Xiaolong was crying, but he didn't dare to cry. He was very afraid of his strict father.
As long as he shouts tired, he will be punished more severely.
practiced martial arts for two years. Shi Xiaolong learned a variety of sets of boxing techniques such as Shaolin Fist, Arhat Fist , and he also had sticks, knives, swords, Meteor Hammer and other weapons.
His martial arts talent spread throughout the radius of hundreds of miles, and the Chen family produced a martial arts genius.
Shi Xiaolong won the favor of Shaolin Temple Shi Yongxin master, and accepted him as his disciple, with the Dharma name "Shi Xiaolong".
1991, 3-year-old Shi Xiaolong visited Taiwan with a Buddhist culture visiting group in Shaolin Temple in Songshan.
The Shaolin clapper he performed on the show shocked the audience.
It is rare for such a young and cute child to be able to play such a smooth boxing technique.
is sitting under the stage, and Taiwanese director Zhu Yanping fell in love with him on the spot in the movie "Laughter Lin Boy".
Chen Tongshan never dreamed that his son would have the opportunity to film, and he also performed martial arts with his true nature, so he immediately agreed to sign the contract.
In 1993, Shi Xiaolong left his parents and, accompanied by a martial arts teacher, began his life filming on the crew.
The crew is more harder to film than practicing martial arts at home. The high-intensity work makes Shi Xiaolong cry every day.
Get up at 6 am to film and can’t go to bed at 10 pm. For the young Shi Xiaolong, he was physically and psychologically tortured.
In order to capture the peerless martial arts, he was hung on a large crane weighing dozens of tons by a thin steel wire, flying around in the air, with blood marks on his body.
When filming in summer, he was exposed to the sun with his head barefoot for a long time, and his scalp could be tear off a piece of skin directly.
Shi Xiaolong cried and called his father to beg him to go home, but was scolded by Chen Tongshan.
"You must be willing to endure hardships. If you can't shoot well, don't go home."
Shi Xiaolong was so scared that he never dared to mention this matter again, and filmed every scene with tears in his eyes.
"The Laughing Lin Boy" was released, and Jacky Cheung's cute appearance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and became popular overnight.
He became the most popular child star in the 1990s, and his salary increased to one million.
He has starred in more than a dozen movies such as " Chinese Dragon ", "Invincible Anti-Fighting Star", " Tiangong Lecture ", and has collaborated with well-known Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Jimmy Lin , Ng Mengda , Takeshi Kaneshiro , and Zhang Weijian , and has also allowed the audience to see him growing up slowly in the film.
In 1999, Shi Xiaolong's first TV series " Boy Bao Qingtian " was released. This year, he was 11 years old and played "Zhan Zhao".
Although Jacky Cheung has achieved great achievements as an actor and is a little star that everyone envies, he has always been very unhappy.
He grew up on the crew and his most desire is to go to school. He wants to live like an ordinary child.
But Chen Tongshan always rejected him, but just invited a cultural teacher to teach him knowledge for him. Shi Xiaolong dared not go against his father's wishes.
At that time, others said that he was his father's "money-making tool".
These words came to his ears, and he always cried secretly.
It was not until the age of 15 that his father agreed that Shi Xiaolong would go to the United States to study and study in the art vocational high school , which was interrupted for two years of filming.
only shows off his face during the summer vacation in TV series, such as " Legend of Xue Rengui " and "Drunk Hero Zhang San".
The international student career has allowed Jacky Cheung to find rare happiness.
Although he just lives the life of an ordinary student, he relaxes his heart like never before.
Since ancient times, heroes have become teenagers. Jacky Cheung suffered a lot when he was a child and became a kung fu boy that everyone likes.
When he was at a very popular age and chose to study in the entertainment industry temporarily, will his acting career be as smooth as before after returning to China?

In 2008, Jacky Cheung finished his high school in the United States and was preparing to return to China to film while studying.
"My idols are Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I also want to go to Hollywood to develop and surpass these predecessors."
When Jackie Chan was proudly planning to start his acting career again, his ideals always cannot stand the changes in reality.
The entertainment industry is the most realistic place. New young and handsome guys are coming from behind, and even the most popular child stars have no place to gain a foothold.
When Jacky Cheung returned to the entertainment industry, he realized that he had been abandoned by this realistic circle.
"You are that little monk, why did you grow up so old? How cute when you were a child!"
Everyone only remembers how Jackie Chan looked when he was a child and was not interested in him when he grew up.
Maybe it's because I finally lived the free life I wanted and didn't have to practice martial arts every day. Jacky Cheung became much fatter during his time in the United States and got rid of his childhood spirit.
Shi Xiaolong has starred in movies such as "The Line of Chasing the Murder" and "Chinese Kung Fu" with a series of not outstanding lines, and his appearance also disappointed the long-awaited fans.
"Xu Xiaolong is dead!" He returned to filming, and the audience's favor suddenly became lower.
's body gained weight due to growing taller during adolescence has aroused the disgust of fans.
Shi Xiaolong, You Haoran , Lu Ziyi , Alpha, Jin Ming, and Tinker Bell couldn't escape the "curse" of the child star growing up.
2010, when we finally welcomed the resources of the movie "Ip Man 2", there were first-line celebrities such as Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung , Fan Shaohuang , Huang Xiaoming and other top celebrities.
But Shi Xiaolong has a weak role among the martial arts superstars, and is just a small supporting role.
As early as 1995, Jacky Cheung and Donnie Yen collaborated in "Gambling Saints 2 Street Gambling Saints". At that time, Jacky Cheung was an important role in the film with many scenes.
5 years have passed, and the situation has changed. Although Jacky Cheung returns to the big screen, he has become a small supporting role.
And when he was shot straight in the movie, he looked even more plump, with his thick shirt and fat face almost unable to recognize the audience.
is simply a bit eye-catching, and the agility and cuteness of childhood are gone forever.
One fat destroys everything, which is too obvious in Jackie Chan.
Although his figure is out of shape and his martial arts are not as refined as before, under the persuasion of his father Chen Tongshan, Shi Xiaolong established the "Shi Family Class" and named it "Longmen Shi Family".
This is a film and television training base, and students will teach martial arts film and television shooting skills.
Shi Xiaolong also endorsed his father's martial arts school .
Shi Xiaolong has become his father's "golden signboard", and all kinds of fame and fortune continue to attack him.
Some of the gaps that originally came back from the United States were also praised by various people, and Jacky Cheung felt that he had returned to his childhood glory.
films movie dramas, appear on variety shows, and work as a businessman. Under the leadership of his father, Jackie Chan's career has blossomed in full swing.
In February 2011, Shi Xiaolong was photographed shopping with He Jie and , and the "sister-brother relationship" was exposed.
The two fell in love with the drama while filming the movie " Swordsman's Story ". As early as the crew, they were tired of being together every day, which was very sweet.
This is the first time Jackie Chan has been exposed for a relationship.
The audience sighed that the young monks had grown up and reached the age of falling in love.
Compared with the innocent Shi Xiaolong, He Jie is two years older than Shi Xiaolong. Since the Super Girl became famous, she has been constantly rumored to have scandals.
was once called the "hype king" because of incidents such as walking on the red carpet, dancing and exposing themselves, and fainting at the airport.
Although He Jie's comments are average, Shi Xiaolong loves him so much that he is devoted to his love, and the two soon live together.
Every time He Jie comes back from a performance in another place, Jackie Chan can't wait to pick her up.
The apartment they lived in was said to be He Jie's industry, which was worth millions back then.
Although Shi Xiaolong is a child star, compared with He Jie who was at the peak of his life at that time, and the resources he had returned to China to film were poor, the film pay was obviously not as good as He Jie in terms of financial resources.
Therefore, it was also rumored that "sister, younger brother is cheap", especially He Jie's fans, who said that Shi Xiaolong is not worthy of He Jie.
The two were photographed returning to their residence together many times, looking very loving.
On social platforms, they also interacted sweetly many times, saying that Xiaolong called He Jie "He Dabao" and "sweet girl", and He Jie replied to "Dragon Young Master".
Shi Xiaolong often accompanied He Jie to go shopping. As long as He Jie liked something, he rushed to pay for it. His boyfriend was full of purchasing power.
also once reported that he was talking about marriage. Rumors said that Shi Xiaolong was preparing to buy a luxury house and a diamond ring to propose to He Jie.
Because He Jie is fat, news of her pregnancy has also been reported.
I thought the two would soon enter the marriage hall, but I didn't expect that the relationship came to an abrupt end a few months later.
In June 2011, when the media was interviewing Jacky Cheung's TV series "His heroes have been born in teenagers since ancient times", Jacky Cheung denied the news of his marriage with He Jie.
"It's so funny!"
Because he was a child star since he was a child, Jackie Chan has long been used to the media, and he has always been polite.
This time, he was emotional and had a very bad attitude when facing the interview with the relationship.
Although the two were photographed many times, the relationship suddenly became unrest, which surprised everyone.
When Shi Xiaolong responded, He Jie also secretly poked and threw out her mate selection criteria in a certain program.
"Generate than yourself, knows how to care for girls, is good at taking care of others, is filial and has a good temper." One of the boyfriend list listed by He Jie is that she is older than herself.
A stone caused a thousand waves, and He Jie's implied meaning made people speculate.
Isn’t Shi Xiaolong two years younger than her?
He Jie means that she thinks that Shi Xiaolong has a bad temper and doesn’t know how to take care of her?
After these remarks, rumors of Shi Xiaolong's bad temper were everywhere, and he was scolded a lot, and his reputation suddenly turned sharply.
Shi Xiaolong was named a scumbag. For a moment, everyone felt that He Jie had found the wrong boyfriend.
The next year, He Jie and He Ziming admitted their love and got married quickly.
From a child star who is loved by everyone to being hit by the reality of the entertainment industry, will Jackie Chan feel a huge gap when he grows up?

"If life can have the chance to start over, I would rather be an ordinary child than become a child star." Shi Xiaolong once said this.
Nowadays, Shi Xiaolong's heart is probably even more tormented by others.
Shi Xiaolong is still working hard to film, trying to numb himself with his work, and he has also participated in many variety shows.
In 2013, Jacky Cheung participated in the variety show "China Star Jump" of Zhejiang Satellite TV .
. Unfortunately, when his assistant Peng Jiaqi was taking care of him, he tried to dive in the -meter springboard because of curiosity, and drowned accidentally.
After investigation, it was found that the coaches, medical staff and staff equipped by the program team were all protecting Shi Xiaolong.
When the assistant was discovered, he had already sunk into the swimming pool for a long time. The boy was only 18 years old and lost his precious life.
Although it was the negligence of the program team, because the assistant acted without authorization, even if Shi Xiaolong blamed himself, he could not escape the relationship. Waves of condemnation came to him.
"I really want to think, it's just a dream..."
Xie Xiaolong has been immersed in sadness for a long time. This little assistant has a good relationship with him on weekdays. He is a member of his "Longmen Shi Family" martial arts team and has also grown up with him.
Because of this incident, he temporarily withdrew from the show.
In June of the same year, Shi Xiaolong was involved in a beating storm again.
Fengxing Studio staff member Huang Liang claimed on the social platform that Shi Xiaolong's driver violently beat him, his glasses were knocked away and his camera was damaged, while Shi Xiaolong and a girl were just looking at him coldly, suspected to be their new girlfriend.
Their team was finally taken away by the police for investigation.
Shi Xiaolong lets his driver beat others, and such news is rampant.
"Shi Xiaolong is so shameless as a public figure!" Huang Liang couldn't swallow his breath even more.
Although it is really unhappy to be followed by someone, Jackie Chan shouldn’t indulge the driver to beat him. He really has the positive image of a blind star.
Although Shi Xiaolong apologized and compensated for the camera's losses in the end, his image once again aroused doubts.
During that period, he focused on filming on the crew and reduced exposure.
has been broadcast a lot of film and television dramas, but his fame has been greatly reduced. Even though he has strictly controlled himself in his body management, he has never had any works that have become famous.
Although the audience knows his name, they only think that he is an ordinary actor and never have any works that suddenly became popular when they were young.
In 2019, Shi Xiaolong was pushed to the forefront again.
His father Chen Tongshan saw that he was playing his son's signboard, and the source of students in the martial arts school was particularly good, and there were endless people from all over the country who came to learn martial arts.
Chen Tongshan accelerated the establishment of several martial arts schools and recruited students. Most of the students from
came for Jackie Chan, and there were many fans.
Unexpectedly, one day something big happened to one of the schools!
A girl was sent to learn martial arts, but died mysteriously in just two days at school.
During the medical examination, she was also found to have bruises on her left chest and abdomen, which seemed to have been kicked hard.
According to media reports, she was suspected to have been beaten by the martial arts school coach and classmates before her death.
, and martial arts school staff strongly denied it, claiming that the child was sick and no one in the school beat her. It is difficult to judge which one is right and wrong.
But this incident made Shi Xiaolong's reputation once again in dire straits.
His father recruited students under his banner, regardless of whether the child's physical condition is suitable or not, he could enter the school after paying the tuition fee.
As the spokesperson and Chen Tongshan's son, Shi Xiaolong naturally cannot escape the blame.
one after another, making Shi Xiaolong unable to argue and could not escape public pressure.
Whether it is because his father was forced to learn martial arts since he was 2 years old, he was condemned in love, or his assistant died unexpectedly, Shi Xiaolong's life is full of various changes.
Because of his father, he was pushed to another world of fame and fortune and was well-known by unlimited consumption.
Although he became a popular child star at the age of 4, he did not understand the joy of fame and fortune at that time, but more of the hard work of filming and the loss of staying away from his relatives.
When I returned to the entertainment industry, I experienced an outdated trough again.
believes that these experiences are growing again and again for him.
Not long ago, Shi Xiaolong was photographed taking his wife and daughter to see the villa, which made netizens amazed, when did he have children?
Now Shi Xiaolong has his own family and is not short of filming in the entertainment industry.
Although he can no longer return to his highlight moment, he is still active in this circle.
As an audience, Jacky Cheung will always be an indelible joyful memory in our childhood.
belongs to the era of Jacky Cheung, and it will never return to
