Washington
(ANI):
Actor
Jackie
Chan
has
opened
a
coffee
shop
in
mainland
China,
pledging
that
some
of
the
profits
would
be
donated
to
local
children's
charities.
The
Rush
Hour
actor
launched
his
first
store
in
the
name
of
Jackie
Chan's
Cafe
chain
in
Beijing
on
Oct
31.
The
martial
arts
star
proved
his
philanthropy
by
vowing
to
give
two
per
cent
of
all
earnings
from
the
store
to
help
the
underprivileged
children.
"Each
year,
I
would
look
for
ways
to
raise
money
for
charity
to
help
needy
people.
Why?
Because
when
I
was
young,
I
was
very
poor
and
many
people
had
helped
me
get
to
where
I
am
today," Contactmusic
quoted
him,
as
saying.
“I
am
doing
my
part
to
repay
their
kindness
to
me,"
he
said.
Chan
has
also
opened
stores
in
Singapore
and
Malaysia.
