SO Athletes Was Invited to Attend Jackie Chan's Concert  

In the evening of May 1st, Hong Kong movie icon Jackie Chan performed a singing concert along with many other pop stars in Bird\'s Nest stadium. \"Descendants of the Dragon: Jackie Chan and Friends\" started at7 p.m. and became the first large-scale concert held in the stadium after last year\'s Olympic Games. More than 120 stars showed on the stage and welcomed by nearly 80,000 fans.

As a celebrity with years of commitment to the public welfare, Jackie Chan specifically invited about a hundred of teenagers sponsored by himself to the concert, including 50 SO athletes and teachers from four special schools in Beijing (namely, Haidian Speical School, Chaoyang Anhua Special School, Chongwen Special School and Xicheng Special School).

Before the concert began, Jackie Chan introduced to the audience on his welfare programs such as Dragon’s Heart Foundation, aiming to help children in impoverished areas back to school, and appealed to the public to pay more attention to the weak group and contribute to the public welfare.

In the afternoon of May 2nd, some SO athletes were invited once again to talked face to face with Jackie Chan and took some photos with their idol.
