Secret love message hidden in the name of Jordan Chan’s son

Jasper Chan’s Chinese name contains a hidden love message

Secret love message hidden in the name of Jordan Chan’s son

Hong Kong actor Jordan Chan’s son, Jasper, accidentally revealed his Chinese name in an episode of Where Are We Going, Dad? which he is currently starring in. The 4-year-old got too carried away while playing and kept repeating the words ‘Chen Yin Jie,’ which quickly allowed viewers to deduce that it was his Chinese name.

At first glance, it seemed as though the name was picked out as its translates to “a successful person who remains resilient against all adversity.” The Chinese character of ‘Jie’ represented victory, while ‘Yin’ referred to a person with a lot of successors.

However, it appears that there was a hidden meaning behind this name, as part of Jordan and his wife, actress Cherrie Ying’s secret code. The way ‘Yin Jie’ was pronounced in Cantonese was very similar to the pronunciation of ‘Valentine’s Day’ (‘Ching Yuhn Jeet’) in Cantonese, which also happened to be the day that the couple got married in 2010.

‘Chen Yin Jie’ also seemed to signify the couple’s love for each other. It was said that the ‘Yin’ in Jasper’s name was meant to represent Cherrie’s surname, ‘Ying.’ At the same time, the Chinese character of ‘Jie’ also stands for two individuals coming together or getting married. Combining both Jordan and Cherrie’s surnames could indirectly refer to the couple ‘coming together as one and being together forever.’

Jordan is currently appearing with Jasper in the fifth season of Where Are We Going, Dad?, which also features Wu Chun and his two kids along with Will Liu and his daughter.
