Tribute to action

The fifth edition of Jackie Chan's film festival will be held in Datong, Xu Fan reports.

Jackie Chan, the iconic action star behind more than 200 movies, is using his celebrity power to earn recognition for stunt performers in cinema. The long-ignored group faces challenges while shooting, including injuries, and is often not given enough time on the big screen.

And toward this end, the Jackie Chan International Action Film Week will hold its latest edition in the ancient city of Datong, Shanxi province, from July 21 to 27.
