Celebrities should give a second thought before they set off to the
quake-stricken Sichuan province, appealed Jacky Cheung, the Hong Kong singer and
actor.
"Frequent celebrity visits may add extra burden to the disaster-hit areas
where people's lives have not settled down yet." Jacky Cheung suggested.
Stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland have expressed their wish to go
to the quake-hit areas to help, news from chinanews.com.cn said. Veteran singer
and actor Andy Lau is reported to plan to go to Sichuan on May 28, together with
several other stars including Joey Yung and Sammi Cheung.
"The deadly earthquake has left many small children as orphans. I will do
whatever in my capability to help them, and I believe they will grow up with
extraordinary strength after the adversity." Jacky Cheung said.
The star has been participating in many charity events in benefit of the
quake, the Hong Kong based Ming Pao News said. Jacky Cheung has been seen in
many occasions dressed in black and wearing a black wristlet in memory of the
quake victims.
