Hong Kong – Just one hour ago, a somber announcement from the Chan family has left millions around the world in shock and mourning.
Joan Lin, wife of legendary martial artist and actor Jackie Chan, released a heartfelt statement from their home in Hong Kong, confirming that her husband has been hospitalized in critical condition following a sudden medical emergency. The exact nature of his condition has not been officially disclosed, but sources close to the family indicate that the 70-year-old icon had been quietly battling undisclosed health issues over the past few months.
Chan, who received an honorary Oscar in 2016 for his lifetime achievement in cinema, is best known for bridging Eastern and Western film industries and redefining action-comedy with heart, humor, and unmatched physical skill. With a career spanning over five decades, his influence has shaped generations of filmmakers, stunt performers, and fans around the globe.
Joan Lin, visibly emotional, thanked fans for their love and prayers:
“Jackie is a fighter – always has been. He needs all your strength and support now more than ever.”
Fans have already begun gathering outside Queen Mary Hospital, holding signs that read “Stay Strong, Jackie” and “We Love You Forever”, while social media platforms are flooded with messages of hope and gratitude.
As of now, doctors have not released further updates, and the Chan family has asked for privacy during this incredibly difficult time.
Let us stand together and hope for the recovery of a man who gave us courage, laughter, and action like no other.
The world isn’t ready to say goodbye yet.
