BLOG: 10月6日

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank AnD for doing such a great job on my blog.

When I was shooting "The Forbidden Kingdom" movie in Hengdian China, I met Vincent Lee. He introduced me to this great web site, AnD. When I looked at the site, I felt immediately that you guys are doing such a great job on it. Vincent and I had spent quite some time talking about making my blog in the AnD site. FInally I am here with lots of my old friends and of course many new friends too.

This is really my first time writing a blog. Even on my official web site I only occasionally update some of the news items. Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that I am a very busy person. It just means that I am not very good at writing and using the internet, but I like to read. I learned how to use a computer when I came to the US at the end of 1999, but I really just started to use a computer when I bought my first laptop while shooting "The Forbidden Kingdom" movie this past June.

You are probably wondering why I finally bought a laptop after these year. The answer is because I wanted to see my wife and our boys. Yes, I have twin boys. They're 4 and a half and I wanted to communicate with them while I was in China for more than 3 months. With my laptop we could see and talk to each other almost every night.

Now that my blog on AnD is open, I have yet another challenge to face - I don't know how to type Chinese. I don't want people to think I don't know Chinese. I can read it, but just not write it or type it. The other thing is I don't go on the internet that often. If you guys need my immediate response, I have to apologize right now because this will not happen! I really appreciate all my old  and new friends giving me such a great welcome when my blog opened. I would love to give you all a message in response individually but forgive me please for just writing this one message instead.

Since this is my first blog, I tell myself no matter how busy and hard it is for me to writing something, I will try my best to make some blog entries as often as possible. Entries will be in English right now but I hope that in the near future I will be able to write in Chinese too.
