I'm not the author but the main gist is that Jackie doesn't want to acknowledge his past hardships, and is unwilling to analyze whether they were justified or not. The author calls it his "blindspot". I'm not sure it's healthy.

Jackie lived his experiences. This author is, to the best of my knowledge, basically just some guy with a website byline. (Presumably he's had some sort of hardships in life, because nobody escapes unscathed, but I doubt they compare to Jackie's.) I'm not sure the author has all that much moral standing or skin in the game to make me care much about his opinion of Jackie Chan's life.

He's welcome to it. I just don't see it as anywhere near as interesting.

What does it matter who the author of the article is? Some random nobody raising interesting issues about Jackie Chan's autobiography -- what he says, what he leaves unsaid -- seems valid to me.
