China has honored movie stars Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat and classic films such as "Fists of Fury" and "A Better Tomorrow" in a commemorative stamp collection marking 100 years of Chinese cinema, media reports said Tuesday, Reuters quoted the Apple Daily as reported.

Hong Kong actor Chow, who has been focusing on his Hollywood career, was quoted as saying he is pleased by his selection because he hasn't made any Chinese films recently.

"It's been a long time since I had a Chinese-language movie show in the mainland, but everyone still remembers me. Thanks for giving face," Chow said, according to the Apple Daily.

Chow is slated to appear in director Ann Hui's upcoming Chinese film "My Aunt's Postmodern Life."

Among the other 128 honored stars were Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Cecilia Cheung, and the late Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, the newspaper said.

Oscar-nominated "Farewell My Concubine," "Hero," "Happy Together" and "Infernal Affairs" were among the films saluted.

The stamp collection was officially launched by the Chinese postal service at a ceremony in Beijing Monday attended by Chinese actor Yu Xiang and actress Ning Jing, Xinhua News Agency said on its Web site.

The stamps bear production shots of the stars and come with their biographies, the report said.
