Chαrles was a cook and Lee-lee was a housekeeper2. Together , the Chan family lived on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. When Jackie was young , his father would wake him early in the morning and together they would practice kung fu. Charles Chan believed that learning kung fu would help build Jackies character, and teach him patience, strength, and courage. 虽然成龙的父母不富裕，但是他们在法国驻香港使馆都有十分稳定的工作。父亲陈志平是厨师，母亲陈莉莉是保洁员，一家人都住在香港的维多利亚半山腰上。成龙小的时候，他的父亲会很早就叫他起床，两人一起习武。陈爸爸一直坚信学习功夫会对塑造成龙的性格有相当大的帮助，习武能教会他容忍、坚强和勇敢。When Jackie was seven year old Charles took a job as the head cook at the American embassy in Australia. He felt that it would be best for Jackie to stay behind in Hong Kong to learn a skill and so enrolled3 him in the China Drama Academy where Jackie would live for the next 10 years of his life. 成龙7岁那一年，陈爸爸要到澳大利亚的美国使馆任主厨。他认为对于成龙来说最好是留在香港学习一技之长，因此在中国戏剧学院为他找了一位师傅，从那以后，成龙跟随师傅一学就是10年。During Jackies time at the school, he learned martial4 art，acrobatics5, singing，and acting6. The school was meant to prepare boys for a life in the Peking Opera. Chinese opera was very different from any other kind of opera. It included singing, tumbling, and acrobatics as well as martial arts skills and acting. Students at the school were severely7 disciplined and were beaten if they disobeyed or made mistakes. It was a very harsh and difficult life but Jackie had nowhere else to go. 在这10年的时间里，成龙跟师傅学习了武术、杂技、声乐和表演。师傅培养的男孩子们，准备着将自己的一生都奉献给京剧。京剧同
