Facebook salute to firefighters by Andy Lau, Eric Tsang, Sammo Hung and Eason Chan draws support from Hong Kong politicians and celebrities
Song in their honour also in the works, as city acknowledges work of firefighters in putting out 108-hour Ngau Tau Kok blaze that claimed two lives
Hong Kong stars and singers have joined hands in showing support for the city’s firefighters, who spent more than 108 hours fighting the inferno last week, losing two of their colleagues.
They urged people to upload to Facebook a picture of themselves holding a piece of paper with the message “Salute to our firefighters” in one hand and an electric torch or a phone with its light on in the other.
A song in honour of the firefighters is also in the works.
The four stars have already uploaded their photos, and movie stars as well as politicians have followed suit.
These include actor Jackie Chan, Canto-pop singer Julian Cheung Chi-lam, Liberal Party lawmaker James Tien Pei-chun and the home affairs minister’s political assistant Caspar Tsui Ying-wai.
