joined the group, Yang Jiyu knew that it was Jackie Chan who was playing against her, and she played his assistant. "That winter, Huairou in Beijing was extremely cold, and I was so silly when filming. I was very impressed that there was a scene where I was supposed to put clothes on Jackie Chan, but my fingers were so cold that I didn’t want to. I slipped from my fingers, and then the eldest brother grabbed the clothes by himself and taught me how to take clothes to keep warm. When I was resting, he asked me where I graduated and learned that I was a student in the drama school.
