Chapter 49 "Willing to die": Brigitte Lin

I told this story before, but no one believed it, so I didn't want to tell it later.Recently, a friend told me that Brigitte Lin wrote about this in her book, so I can talk about it. In 1978, a group of us actors were organized to perform for charity in Thailand.There are many people traveling together, such as Xu Feng, Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, Brigitte Lin and so on.At that time, I had just finished playing "Drunken Master" and started to become popular. Everyone called me "Drunken Master Kid". We went to the beach to play together, there are many items there, such as water bikes, speedboats, and air balloons.For air balloons, use an ultra-fast speedboat to drag people up from the ground with a parachute-like balloon, drag them into the air and keep them up until they stop at a certain height, and then the speedboat will take you slowly from the sky. Come back in a slow circle, come back down to the surface, and switch to the second person.

At that time, I didn't know how to jump a parachute, and I couldn't control it, but I thought that it might be useful for filming in the future, so I wanted to take this opportunity to try and learn.When queuing up, everyone was a little scared and said Jackie, you go first, I said, okay, I'll do it! I was tied up first, and then stood by the beach, waiting for the speedboat to leave.As soon as the boat started, the speed was very fast, and it pulled me up very quickly, and then let it go slowly after being pulled up. Just when it was placed at the highest point, I suddenly heard a bang, and something broke, and it hit my left mouth, eye, and forehead at the same time. Jump up and hit the top of the balloon.It should be that the elastic force after it was broken bounced me up, like a rubber band.

In an instant, the balloon wrapped me up all at once, and my whole body fell from a very high place. It may be due to the fact that it was wrapped in a balloon. When I fell, I didn't feel much pain, but I went into the water in an instant. But I can't swim. I was in a hurry at first because all the straps on the balloon were binding me, and my eyes and forehead were bleeding, and it hurt to be immersed in sea water. Then I thought, don't worry, I'm falling now, and there are so many people on the shore seeing it, and everyone knows that I can't swim, and someone will come to rescue me.

Although I was wrapped in a balloon and went into the water, there was still a little air in it. I happened to be in the small bag of air. I took a deep breath, then held my breath, and my body kept sinking. I don't know how long it sank, but suddenly, a lot of hands grabbed me out and carried me to the shore. I didn't know how scary it was until I went up! Everyone told me that I fell between two boats.At that time, the sea was very lively, there were many big boats, small boats, jet skis... I just happened to fall in the middle of that seam!Do you think I'm out of shit luck!

All my friends came to see me. Qin Xianglin was the first to jump into the water to save me. Later, he and I became good brothers.I saw Brigitte Lin next to me, so I asked her, everyone came to save me, why didn't you come? She said, I think so too, but I was wearing a bikini, halfway through undressing, and a reporter next to me kept saying that as long as I took it off, she would take pictures of me, so I dare not take it off.Besides, I saw that so many people rushed over, and I was not missing, haha. I have told this story in the past, but everyone said oh brother, don't always tell your own experience so amazing, you made it up!I was so angry that I stopped talking.In fact, I am not very good at swimming, I only know how to dive.
