Chan dreams of nding land mine horror
Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan said he dreamt about digging up land mines for a whole week after returning from a trip to Cambodia to raise awareness about the issue there.
Chan spent three days in the country as a UN goodwill ambassador in late April, visiting land mine explosion victims and HIV/Aids patients.
Cambodia has Southeast Asia’s highest HIV infection rate at 2.6% for 2002, according to the United Nations.
The country’s remote areas are still strewn with land mines and unexploded bombs left over from three decades of fighting.
Chan said he was not afraid, but that the visit as a whole shook him up so much that “for a week whenever I had a dream I dreamt about digging land mines”.
