RENOWNED Chinese martial arts actor Jackie Chan appealed to participants in Hong Kong's Occupy Central movement yesterday to be rational and fight for a peaceful future in Hong Kong, according to China.org.cn.

Chan posted comments about the movement on Weibo, a Chinese Twitter-like microblogging platform, saying, "I have heard that it [the Occupy Central movement] has already caused more than 350 billion in financial losses, which makes all of us very worried."

He said "I think all residents living in Hong Kong love our land very much, and we all hope that Hong Kong will develop well! A better Hong Kong requires support and effort from all of us. Like we sing in the song 'Homeland,' 'a prosperous family needs a strong homeland.' I hope all of us can do our best to remain rational and peaceful, and fight for a bright future for both Hong Kong and our homeland."

The post was published at 18:51pm on Thursday evening. Over the following four hours, the tweets were praised by 45,000 fans and received replies from 7,000 of Chan's followers.
