| Jimmy Won 3rd in Impreza Race |
| In the first Impreza race of the year, Jimmy won 3rd position. As Jimmy haven't raced for 2 months and it's was raining on Sunday, he was quite worried. Moreover, in this Category A race, he's competing with many of the strongest racers. But in the 2 rounds of the competition which consists of a total of 24 laps, his performance was very stable. Even thou- gh a car in front of him suddenly skidded, he was able to react immediately and rapidly avoid the car. Finally, with the bad weather condition and slippery tracks, he won 3rd. Though it was not his best result, considering the fact that he's using his friend's car for the race which he wasn't very familiar with and he haven't been practising for sometime, he has performed well and he was satisfied with this result.

| Jimmy as a journalist? |
| Jimmy is truely a man of his own words. Earlier, he had promised his fans that he would head for Shanghai in March to film a dra- ma and these few days, his app- earance pleased the media, just that the name of the drama, 'Hua Yang Nian Hua' has been official- ly changed to 'Feng Chen Die Ying'. "This drama is a typical old Shan- ghai works, very Shanghai style." Jimmy introduced. This drama is a remake from a novel which was very popular in Shanghai many years back, and he will be acting as a righteous journalist. In this drama, the lead actress--a popular dance hostess who will be paired with Jimmy, will be acted by Chinese famous act- ress, Chen Hong. Being paired with an actress who is so much older than himself, will Jimmy with a baby face give viewers an awkward feeling? "I should not think so. |
| Before this drama, I had acted as Lu Xiao Feng." Jimmy replied laughingly. Exactly. In the recent drama, 'LXF' which was very popular throughout Chi- na, Jimmy's mature and lively acting has made this 30 odd year old swordsman come alive. It's no wonder why many people pra- ised that 'Little Heavenly King' has now grown up. As of the same case as other ov- erseas celebrities, Jimmy's fans are very happy of Jimmy's freq- uent appearance in China. When reporters asked him if he would put in more of his time to build up his career in China, he explained, "Actually, no matter where I'm de- veloping my career, it's still the same. But I think I have many su- pportive fans in China, a very big stage, so I will definitely work hard and move around to more places so as to present everyone better music and drama works of mine.

As for bowling, he said that there was a period of time in TW where there was a bowling craze and he went bowling almost everyday.(17/3/2001) |

To Jimmy who dares to try new things, this is not a problem at all. He said that he ever tried snow skiing in Korea but he didn't have the chance to experiment further in it. So he is mentally prepared to fall a lot this time. He will try out snow- |

| On the 14th, Jimmy appear- ed in a big bowling alley in LA, shooting his anti-drug commercial together with 10 other selected actors and they had got along very well. For the whole day, he is busy with the filming. In the morning, he went to a park and played tennis with the 10 actors. Afternoon, he went to another park and played basketball together with 20 teenagers. 15th, he will head for a mountain ra- nge to film in the snow. 14th, in the bowling alley, the actors and crew were busy in and out, making the place very lively. Jimmy was there concentrating on the filming. He was wearing a casual sportswear, trying out his ballworks with the bowling ball. His charisma and warm smile caught ev- eryone's attention. Beacuse of this commercial with East West Bank, he sp- ecially took leave from the filming in Shanghai and he- |
| aded for LA for the filming. Jimmy who arrived on the 12th said jokingly that he is still adjusting to the time difference. But Jimmy who has good professionalism, went to a Chinese elementary school on the 13th to promote anti- drug to the younger stud- ents. 14th, his day was filled with lots of work. He woke up at 5am and reached (St Anita?) park to shoot a sc- ene where he was playing tennis with the 10 actors. (About the name of the park, I just figured it out from the sound of the Chinese words, so I'm not sure if I'm right) Jimmy who specialise in car-racing, is talented in sports, thus many kinds of sports are no problem to him. Under director, Zhang Tian Rong's arrangements, he played basketball, tennis and bowling. Moreover, his postures are |

When he was filming in the bowling alley, Ji- mmy and his younger cousin who lives in LA had a great time. His cousin, Kenny stayed in LA all the while and this time, being able to work with his 'celeb- rity cousin', the feeling is special. Jimmy who has a baby face is like a little kid but he look- ed after his cousin like a big brother. While he was waiting for his tu- |
