　　China enlists Jackie Chan to kick off political meeting

　　Film star Jackie Chan joined other celebrities Sunday at a meeting of China&aposs highest-profile advisory body, a move seen by analysts as an attempt by the ruling Communist Party to cultivate "soft power".

　　在上周日开幕的政协会议上，人们不仅见到了影星成龙，也见到了其他名流的身影。外媒援引分析人士的话称，执政党中国共产党试图以此培养“软实力”。

　　Nobel literature prizewinner Mo Yan and basketball star Yao Ming also attended the annual meeting of the Chinese People&aposs Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), organised by the party.

　　诺贝尔文学奖得主莫言和篮球名将姚明也参加了政协会议。

　　The 58-year-old, famous in the West for the "Rush Hour" series and "Police Story", kept a low profile outside the meeting.

　　58岁的成龙在会场外非常低调。他因《尖峰时刻》系列影片及《警察故事》而为西方观众所熟知。

　　Chan, wearing a black shirt and glasses, said merely that he was "very happy" bore boarding a bus with Mo Yan.

　　成龙身穿一件黑衬衫，戴着眼睛。在和莫言一起登车前，他仅对记者表示自己“很开心”。

　　Professor Sonny Ho, co-director at Hong Kong&aposs Centre for Greater China Studies, has said Chan was selected to attend the CPPCC because it was thought his stardom could help promote ties with Hong Kong.

　　香港教育学院大中华研究中心的教授卢兆兴说，选择成龙参加政协是因为认为他的明星身份有助于促进(内地)与香港的关系。
