Taiwan Celebrity Shows Support for Hong Kong in Pursuit of Freedom and Democracy
Taiwanese showbiz celebrity, Ili Cheng, nicknamed Jipai Mei, showed her support for Taiwan DPP's candidate for the mayor of Kaohsiung, Chen Chi-mai, on Aug 1.
During the event, Cheng said that she had supported Taiwan’s 2014 Sunflower Movement and because of that, many of her job opportunities were cancelled in the following two years.
When she went to Hong Kong to conduct a publicity campaign, she was even deported by the Hong Kong Immigration Department and was being treated as if she was a criminal.
She hopes that the Taiwanese will not forget the "fellow Hong Kong protesters" of the past year and not give up on Hong Kong. Wiping her tears, she rallied the Taiwanese people to continue to stand for what is right.
"I hope you never ever give up on Hong Kong. Hong Kong, Add Oil [fight on]!"
