Who is Jackie Chan's master?

Yu Zhanyuan, a martial artist, was born in Shuntianfu (now Beijing) in troubled times. When he was young, he was a famous Peking Opera actor. After going to Hong Kong, he sang on the stage and acted on the screen. China Theatre Research Institute was established, with many students, such as popular stars Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan.

196 1 year, Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong with his family to learn from Yu Zhanyuan. In the same year, he entered the China Theatre Academy in Yu Zhanyuan to study stage makeup and stage performance skills. While studying at China Theatre Academy, Jackie Chan's stage name was Yuan Lou. In a Peking Opera performance, his performances with Long Yuan, Thailand, Yuan Wah, Yuan Biao and others were eye-catching, so seven people formed the "Seven Little Happiness".

197 1 year, due to the massive loss of opera audiences, Yu Zhanyuan's "China Theatre Research Institute" finally failed to survive, and other disciples such as Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao had to fend for themselves. At that time, they, the actors from the troupe, all embarked on the road of martial artists in the film and television circle. It seems that this is their ability to maximize their talents and live up to their ability to practice hard when learning drama.

Yu Zhanyuan's personality evaluation:

Yu Zhanyuan's own achievements in the film industry are average, but several of his apprentices are still the mainstay or even the best in Hong Kong-made films. Including his daughter, Yu Suqiu, who played the leading role in the works such as The Palm of the Tathagata in the 1960s.

Although the name of Yu Zhanyuan's "Hong Kong China Theatre Academy" is bluffing, its scale is only medium among many drama academies in Hong Kong, with dilapidated buildings and poor conditions. Fortunately, the master didn't mislead people, and he taught very seriously.
