[quote]He may be poorly educated, but you can’t be that stupid to know several languages fluently.

Or very horny. His off camera romances are legendary… [/quote]

So is most of Hollywood. Your point?

[ac_dropout]

His pursuit for learning multiple languages had nothing to do with economics or intelligence. He just wanted to sleep with his female co-stars…

[quote]I blame Confucianism for promoting different rules for different people: one for the gentlemen “elite” and one for the xiao ren (hoi polloi). that leads to everyone thinking they’re above the law or can skirt the law, because who can admit to being a xiao ren.

Yes, but with that also came a sense of noblesse oblige (responsibility) for others in society. That tends to get ignored in any anti-Confucian diatribe.[/quote]

That “sense” or “brand” of noblesse oblige is better described as paternalism which is what Jackie’s attitude demonstrates here cf. Jet Li’s philanthropic actions
