In 2001 he was a member of the jury at the 23rd Moscow International Film Festival.
Jiang has also acted in television series, such as Da Qing Fengyun (2006), in which he played Hong Taiji.
Jiang was married to French actress Sandrine Chenivisse, with whom he has a daughter. He is now married to Chinese actress Zhou Yun and they have two sons.
