Jaycee Chan, the son of kung fu
mega-star Jackie Chan, has talked about his prison life in Beijing for
the first time during an interview with Taiwan media.
He said he didn't enjoy any privileges
during the tough time since his father was Jackie Chan. He ate the same
prison food as the others and slept in the wooden cell, and he would go
through the X-ray detector and change into prison clothes, fully naked.
The most difficult thing was, he said, the light was kept on for 24
hours due to security reasons, so he "didn't see any darkness" for 184
days.
Chan said he would be let out in a small
space for exercise, and once, he saw an old prison mate going into a
corner, squatting and shaking off his dandruff, and then starting to
pick the dead skin off his feet. He said the scenario looked like a
ghost story.
Jaycee Chan also said he started to
raise weird pets such as spiders in the toilet, and he killed a mosquito
and judged the wind direction by the direction of the mosquito's feet.
He said he would become mad at that time though he finds everything
amusing now.
He said he never broke down and cried out loud.
Jaycee Chan said he has been staying in
Taipei for a half a year after his release from prison with his mother
by his side. He said he wrote songs and practiced singing at home as
well as playing video games. He also met friends, including Taiwan actor
Kai Ko, who was arrested along with Chan in Beijing for drug charges.
Chan revealed that his famous father has
been to see him three times, "Though he had some other businesses to
deal with, he didn't just come for me," Chan said, "This was already
very much for me."
In the past, Jaycee only saw his father
once a year and complained about his father's negligence and pressure on
him. When asked if his father criticized him after the release, Jaycee
said, "no, dad said 'it’s good to see you back', and he gave me a big
hug.
