Donnie Yen was born in China’s Guangzhou. His father, Kylster Yen, was a newspaper editor and an amateur pianist, and his mother, Bow-sim Mark, was a master of kung fu. Donnie’s parents first relocated to Hong Kong when he was two years old before moving to Boston, Massachusetts, when he was eleven.

Is The Only Son of Cissy Wang

Unlike Donnie Yen, Cissy Wang has only two children who are Jasmine Yen and James Yen. Hence, making James Wang the only son of Cissy Wang. The couple welcomed him in December 2007. Three years earlier, in January, James’ sister was born. In addition, he also has a half-brother, Man-Zeok Yen, aka Jeff Yen, whom his dad, Donnie, welcomed with Zing-Ci Leung.

The Yen siblings must have a fabulous bond. It must have been fun growing up together. As they say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, has Donnie Yen’s son gotten any interest in acting? Or he has another interest?

Donnie Yen’s son already has a black belt in karate. In fact, his mother shared several pictures of him in his karate class and wrote, “Like father like son.” With all these talents, it is no wonder that Donnie’s kid is a package full of talents.
