"Kung Fu Hustle" has just premiered, and to my great surprise, "Kung Fu Hustle" is also closely linked with environmental protection. For a time, all web page themes became very "environmental". I would like to give you a few examples here: The global premiere of "Kung Fu Hustle", Jackie Chan swats flies on the set for environmental protection; The double J fight in "Kung Fu Hustle" is not enough, Jackie Chan does environmental protection on the set; Jackie Chan pays attention to the protection of the natural environment, while Jet Li focuses on the environmental protection of the mind; Some even give away eco-friendly chopsticks to promote "Kung Fu Hustle"; etc. These themes made me unable to resist opening the webpage to see what exactly how "Kung Fu Hustle" relates to environmental protection. Since "Kung Fu Hustle" is so popular, the promotion of environmental protection will certainly be more persuasive, after all, both Jackie Chan and Jet Li are big names in the entertainment industry.
Without discussing that "Kung Fu Hustle" topped the North American box office chart, or how Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and other numerous actresses cooperate to perform exquisite kung fu, or whether the "environmental" themes on web pages are really environmentally friendly. Today, I will talk about some deeds these two Kung Fu Kings have done for the cause of environmental protection, presenting the "environmental" side of the Kung Fu Kings with real evidence. Jackie Chan was appointed as the vice president of the China Environmental Culture Promotion Association as early as 2004. As his first position in a mainland public welfare organization, he practiced it by carrying waste bricks from the Great Wall to maintain it. Seven ministries including the Publicity Department of the Central Committee of the CPC, the Environment and Resources Committee of the National People's Congress, the Population, Resources and Environment Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Ministry of Culture, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and the Environmental Protection Administration jointly hosted the "Green China Person of the Year" award, which Jackie Chan never forgets to attend. He once said a very true and touching sentence: "I have been involved in environmental work for many years, it is voluntary." He always starts from small things around him, such as not wasting water resources and food himself, and he can also lead people around him to join in environmental protection together. In January this year, Jackie Chan launched the "Jackie Chan Xinri Environmental Protection Plan" in Beijing, continuing his environmental public welfare cause. As a world-class superstar, apart from shooting movies, he always keeps charity and environmental protection in mind. As a fan of Jackie Chan, one must feel proud, at least the idol they admire is consistent in words and deeds, constantly giving back to society, and also striving for the harmony between human beings and the environment.
Jet Li's environmental actions are also well-known. Since the launch of Jet Li's "One Foundation", it has received active responses and extensive participation from all sectors of society. So far, nearly 300,000 people have participated, and more than 300 people have joined the "One Foundation" family as permanent volunteers. Jet Li starts from the environmental protection of the mind, calling on more people to participate in environmental protection activities with his influence. Other charitable causes will not be listed one by one.
Under market economy conditions, as a commodity, entertainment is still the core element constituting its commodity value. However, in the marketing process of "Kung Fu Hustle", whether there is more illusion mixed in, is clear to today's smart and rational audience. In addition to entertainment, we can also hear about their affection for the environmental protection cause, making the audience support their heroes in their hearts even more.
Jackie Chan said, he hopes more well-known figures in the entertainment industry will join the public welfare cause of promoting environmental protection. This also expresses the voice of many ordinary people. We need more influential role models to influence the people around them, allowing more people to join the ranks of environmental protection.
