Fang Xuanling
Chan joined his parents in Canberra, Australia in 1976, where he briefly attended Dickson College and worked as a construction worker. A fellow builder named Jack took Chan under his wing, thus earning Chan the nickname of "Little Jack," later shortened to "Jackie", which has stuck with him ever since. In the late 1990s, Chan changed his Chinese name to Fang Shilong (；Cantonese: Fong Si-lung), since his father's original surname was Fang.They are the descendants of Fang Xuanling, a chancellor of the Tang dynasty.
