According to On, artists Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, along with Yuen Biao, posed for a photo together at an acquaintance's wedding in Hong Kong on 3/8. This rare reunion of the three 'brothers' in over 20 years garnered significant public attention.

The three met around the age of 10, becoming disciples at a martial arts and Peking Opera school run by master Yu Jim Yuen. Sammo Hung was the eldest 'kung fu brother', with Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao as his juniors. During that time, the teenagers trained from early morning until late evening, enduring scorching sun or heavy rain. Master Yu Jim Yuen educated his students with strict discipline, using severe corporal punishment for disobedience or poor performance.

Upon adulthood, all three began their careers as stunt performers for dangerous scenes, gradually becoming leading actors and holding significant positions during the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, especially Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. The three 'brothers' collaborated on dozens of action-comedies such as *Wheels on Meals*, *Project A*, *Dragons Forever*, *Winners & Sinners*, and *My Lucky Stars*.

In his autobiography *Never Grow Up, Only Get Old*, released in 2016, Jackie Chan wrote that he ran fast as a child because Sammo Hung often chased and hit him. "Back then, 'Big Brother' Sammo was very handsome," Chan wrote. "After he broke his leg, his grandfather visited him every day, bringing him a dish of mixed noodles with egg and meat. Eating mixed noodles with egg and meat every day caused him to swell up rapidly like an inflated balloon."

On a TVB talk show, Sammo Hung once said that as they grew up, each person from the martial arts school pursued different paths, but he and Jackie Chan remained close. "In the past, we even held hands walking down the street; I couldn't do that with other kung fu brothers," Sammo Hung said. "Even now, when I meet Jackie Chan, I often greet him with casual, even slightly crude, remarks. Perhaps if I don't scold Jackie Chan, he feels something is missing."
