A new panda-themed film with world-renowned action movie star Jackie Chan as the leading actor was premiered in Beijing on Saturday.
It tells a story about an international Kung Fu star who fights against a criminal group to rescue a panda.
At the premiere, Chan shared his understanding on the purpose of this movie.
"I always want to shoot a movie about panda, but I don't know how to get it started, until director Zhang Luan approached me. With this film, I hope more children around the world will know pandas, and know how cute these creatures are, who represent friendship and peace," he said.
Several Chinese film stars also attended the premiere, where they expressed how Chan has inspired and motivated them.
"After all these years, you are still making movies. I think you put audience, Chinese people in your heart. I could learn a lot from you," said Sun Honglei, an actor.
"See Jackie still presenting such wonderful action movie for us, I'm really moved," said Wang Zhi, an actress.
