When Gary Cao got into a brawl, everyone criticised and he has to make a public apology and repent. When Liu Ye got into a brawl, he got support. Strange case.
I'm talking about a recent report where Liu Ye was photgraphed having beating up a westerner. I thought he will sure get bad press and be criticised like Gary. But, strangely, he didn't. In fact, Huang Xiao Ming wrote in support of him in his weibo and said if he (HXM) was there, he will also hit the westerner. And today, I read in newspaper that Andrew Lau Wai Keung jokingly said 'I've seen the interesting photograph. Didn't know that Liu Ye can fight so well. I'll asked him to film 'Chen Zhen 2' and fight with Donnie Yen.'
Different mentality between Mainlanders and HKers? Or is it because the target was a westerner? Or was it that the westerner was actually at fault?
But, no matter what, using violence to solve problem is still not good.
