Hong Kong action star and tourism ambassador Jackie Chan apologized for his disruption and insults (辱骂) to the audience at Jonathan Lee's concert in Hong Kong but refused to admit that he was drunk.

　　Chan told the media backstage on Monday, "I was drunk and I feel ashamed." Alex Fong, Chan's son, also apologized for his father's behavior and promised the media there would he no such things next time.

　　However, on Wednesday, Chan denied that he was drunk. "I would call it excitement on stage. I only made some jokes with Lee, not a big deal," he said.

　　Lee also defended his friend Chan, saying there was no smell of alcohol in his breath. "He is a forthright (直率的) person. We always use dirty words with each other in daily life but it is not right to say them in public," Lee said.

　　Actually, it was the second time that day that Chan disturbed an event. Guangzhou-based Information Times reported yesterday that at a TVB party, Chan criticized the Hong Kong public TV channel for keeping singers signed with the station from being interviewed by other media.

　　Since Chan is Hong Kong's tourism ambassador, his gaffe on stage drew attention of the Hong Kong Tourism Hoard. A spokeswoman for the board said they had contacted Chan but he was on a business trip. She refused to comment on whether Chan's behavior had hurt Hong Kong's image. No complaints have received so far according to the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Service Department.

One day my 5-year-old daughter, Mini, ran to the window crying: “A Cabuliwallah! A Cabuliwallah（从喀布尔来的水果商贩）!” In the street below was a Cbuliwallah, 31 slowly along. Mini called him loudly but when he looked at her，she ran away, 32 . Shortly after this, the two became friends. They started to 33 together, laughing and talking. Mini’s new friend would give her sweets and nuts, 34 the little money he had on her.The Cabuliwallah, called Rahmum, would joke: “Well, little one, when are you going to the father-in-law’s house?” Mini did not understand this and was 35 .

One morning, I heard noise in the street, and saw Rahmum being led 36 by the police. There were bloodstains on his clothes. I gathered that a neighbor had 37 Rahmum money for a shawl (披肩)but had falsely 38 having bought it, and that in the course of the quarrel Rahmum had struck him. On a charge of murderous attack, Rahmum was 39 to jail.

Time passed, and he was not remembered. Mini grew up and we were making 40 for her wedding. I was sitting in my study when someone entered. It was Rahmum, 41 from prison.42 recognizable now, he asked to see Mini and said that all those years ago she had 43 him of his own daughter in Kabul. It was his belief that Mini was still the same. He had 44 her running to him calling “Cabuliwallah!”. He had imagined that they would laugh and talk together. In fact, he had brought her, 45 in paper, a few nuts and grapes. The two were 46 but Mini had grown up. She now understood the meaning of the word “father-in-law,” and when he made this joke once more she was 47 in the face at the question. He could not revive(还原) their old friendship.

When Rahmum left, I gave him a bank note, saying:“Go back to your own daughter, and 48 the happiness of your meeting bring good fortune to my child! ”

Having made this present, I had to 49 the electric lights and the military band I had 50 for the wedding and the ladies in the house were disappointed. But to me the wedding feast was all the brighter for the thought that in a distant land a long-lost father met again with his child.
