Liu Simu, a Chinese actor who has received much attention for starring in Marvel's new work "Shangqi", has recently been violently attacked by overseas netizens. The cause of the incident was that Liu Simu deleted a tweet that had attacked Marky Mark for racism, and many netizens attacked him for abandoning principles in order to act in movies.
The original tweet that Liu simu deleted was: "Let me pinch that Mark Wahlberg beat an unarmed Vietnamese man with a stick at the age of 16 until he was unconscious, and later tried to get the court to grant him a formal pardon on the grounds that his life had improved?" After the media revealed that Liu Simu would collaborate with Wahlberg on the new film "Arthur the King," he deleted the tweet.
Regarding Mark Wahlberg, what he did not only broke the law, but was also spurned by everyone!
In 1988, when 16-year-old Wahlberg tried to steal two cases of alcohol at a convenience store near his home in Boston's Dolchester district, he hit a Vietnamese man in the head with a wooden stick and, while dodging police, punched another Vietnamese in the face, who lost one eye in the attack. According to police reports, Wahlberg insulted the victims with racial discrimination. Wahlberg was convicted of two counts of assault, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to two years in prison but serving only 45 days.
In 2014, Wahlberg, fearing that his career would affect him, launched a pardon petition calling for the 1988 sentence to be revoked. The move was controversial in the Asian-American community, claiming that Wahlberg never apologized.
In 2016, after the petition was closed, Wahlberg said he regretted seeking pardon.
Therefore, after Liu Simu deleted this tweet, he was attacked by many netizens. Liu Simu responded to the incident, saying that he chose to star in this film because he liked the script very much and some of his interests, and could play a positive representative Asian man. He deleted the tweet in order to show a professional attitude and was trying to create the conditions for positive dialogue and action. He was really angry at the time, and the criticism was true, but he also thought that there was room for everyone to grow, learn, cooperate, do the right thing, and positive dialogue would eventually lead to positive action.
At present, many netizens do not buy Liu Simu's response, believing that he has abandoned the basic principles for personal gain, and is very disappointed!
