Jackie Chan yesterday celebrated his 60th birthday. After the star studded giant concert two nights ago, yesterday he attended a fan meeting and a charity banquet with 800 fans. Korean star Choi Si-Won who has the same birth date came to celebrate with him. At night Jackie Chan's superstar friends supported the charity auction and raised over 70 million RMB.

Yesterday was Jackie Chan's 60th birthday, two nights ago at the end of the concert, his son Jaycee Chan (Fong Cho Ming) and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung brought out a homemade truffle birthday cake that said "JC60". Ko Chen-Tung set off the confetti cannon on the stage. Jackie Chan was very happy. "I am so touched, I am speechless. It's too much trouble for everyone, let me send all the well wishes that I have received to everyone!"

After the show, Jackie Chan celebrated with guests. Yesterday afternoon he attended a Jackie Chan International Fan Club meeting with 800 fans from over 40 nations, unfortunately Jackie Chan lost his voice and the originally scheduled singing segment was cancelled. However he still thanked fans with his hoarse voice. He not only played games with everyone but also took photos with each of them. Surprise guest Choi Si-Won appeared and they actually shared a birthday. Si-Won presented a gift and said, "I just flew from the U.S. I am very honored to share a birthday with Big Brother Jackie Chan. Big Brother is very handsome!"

The event showed Jackie Chan's childhood photos, family videos and Seven Little Fortunes era photos. When Jackie Chan saw the videos from fans around the world he was moved to tears. His wife Joan Lin (Lam Fung Giu) appeared at the venue, but when reporters took photos she immediately left. Jackie Chan said, "Thank you fans from everywhere for coming to celebrate with me. You keep me going, doing good things, I love you too much!"

At night Jackie Chan attended a Peace and Friendship charity banquet, where Jackie Chan film stills and everyday photos were on display. Superstar guests included Li Bingbing, Stanley Tong Kwai Lai, Huang Bo, Ge You, Vincent Zhao Wenzhou and his wife, Zhao Benshan, Jiang Wen, Lee Byung-Hun, Lee Seung-Gi, Jung Woo-Sung, Choi Si-Won, Korean group H.O.T., Jeffrey Kung, Albert Yeung Sau Sing, Marie Zhuge, Sheila Cheung Yuk Shan and others. With friend Eric Tsang Chi Wai as a host, Li Bingbing bid a Jackie Chan portrait for 15 million yuan. She said that she bid for a friend who did not want to appear. Yeung Sau Sing bid a LV leather case and Ge You's costume for 4.5 million. Feng Xiaogang's painting went for 2.3 million. Zhao Benshan won the Jackie Chan calligraphy for 2 million. Jackie Chan's special edition white Lamborghini went for 8 million. The sandalwood chair went for 6.5 million, the auction in the end raised 70,552,000 yuan.

A video of Jackie Chan and his father was shown. He tearfully said that when his father turned 60 he was on a film set. He only celebrated his 90th birthday. He said with regret, "I used to think making enough to eat and to live on was enough, but actually I really have to give my heart." Jackie Chan cut a giant birthday bun on the stage and it contained little birthday buns, which he shared with guests.
