Crosstalk artist Jiang Kun, soprano Peng Liyuan and martial-arts master Jackie Chan have the most favorable public image among Chinese celebrities, a cross-nation survey has found.

Jiang Kun tops the list of 500 Chinese celebrities, followed by Peng Liyuan and Jackie Chan.

The rest of the top ten include actresses Angie Chiu (5th) and Zhou Xun (7th), actors Jet Li (6th) and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (8th), and soprano Song Zuying (9th).

Actress Fan Bingbing is unfortunately among the least favorable.

The survey was sponsored by several websites and printed media. It took half a year to draw results from online and questionnaires.

Entertainment fields surveyed include music, opera, television and film acting.

Stars are rated based on the public's impression of their productions, social and charity awareness.
