张敬轩道歉了！惜日乱港歌手摇身变成人生导师，是真浪子回头还是人民币太香？#张敬轩#乱港#港人#香港

Just on April 11th, Hong Kong singer Hins Cheung suddenly jumped out.

He gave an exclusive interview to Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po.

His attitude in front of the camera was so sincere.

He said he wanted to sincerely apologize for his past remarks in support of Hong Kong independence.

Not only that, he has now transformed himself and put on a glittering new hat, serving as a mentor for the Hong Kong Security Bureau's "Positive Guidance Project."

Wow, when I saw this news, I had to rub my eyes and pinch my thigh.

To make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

A person who once flirted with the Hong Kong rioters, and sang praises for the thugs, is now going to be a life mentor for those young people involved in the cases?

This is like the lead hooligan in the village back in the day, who ran off to the city to hide for a few years.

And now that he sees the village is getting rich from the new rural construction, he comes back and wants to teach the villagers a fire safety education class.

I mean, what is this?

Come on, let's take a good look at this great singer Cheung's past and present.

Let's first take a look at the background of this "Positive Guidance Project" that made him a mentor.

Everyone knows that it's been a full seven years since the 2019 turmoil.

The young people who were arrested but not prosecuted at the time, there were about 7,000 of them.

The Secretary for Security of Hong Kong, Tang Ping-keung, is a man of action.

He wanted to give these young people who had gone astray a chance to start over, so he created this project.

This was originally a very good and virtuous thing, right?

The country is being magnanimous, lending a hand to these confused kids who were used as pawns back then.

But then our great singer Cheung jumped out.

He said in the interview that he was deeply moved, and actively commissioned his company to tell the Security Bureau that he wanted to participate.

And he actually became a sharing guest.

He shamelessly said that in the first half of the year, he would personally lead a team to take these young people back to the mainland for exchange and visits, so they could witness the country's prosperity with their own eyes.

Wow, just listen to the words he used.

So patriotic.

So positive.

He's practically a candidate for one of the top ten most touching figures in China.

But let's all be honest with ourselves, what is a mentor?

"A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts."

It's a role that only a person of high moral character and extremely upright values is fit for.

Hins Cheung said he would use his personal experience to guide young people to recognize their mistakes.

I just don't get it.

What is your personal experience?

Is it teaching them how to jump back and forth between two sides?

Or is it teaching them how to play both sides when it matters most?

A person who once openly incited confrontation and supported separatist activities, is now turning around to be a youth leader.

Isn't this the biggest insult to the word "mentor"?

Some people might say, "Oh, Xiao Lan, don't be so harsh."

"Didn't he apologize?"

"He said he was influenced by the social atmosphere at the time," "young and naive, hot-blooded and young."

"Who hasn't made mistakes, right?"

Everyone, this is called avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.

This is called changing the subject.

Let's take a look at Hins Cheung's old accounts.

And see if he was really "young and naive," or just full of bad intentions.

Hins Cheung, born in 1981 in our very own Guangzhou, Guangdong.

That's right, you heard me correctly.

He's a native of Guangzhou.

He debuted in 2000, and later became a household name with his song "Breakpoint."

He made his first fortune in the mainland, and then went to Hong Kong to develop his career.

So, with his background, having grown up drinking the water of the Pearl River and making money from his mainland fans, you'd think he'd have some feelings for the land that raised him.

But no.

To squeeze into the so-called "noble circle" of the Hong Kong entertainment industry at the time, and to cater to the tastes of some extreme localists in Hong Kong, he really went all in with his pledge of allegiance.

Let's go back to 2012.

Hong Kong was in an uproar over the "anti-national education" movement.

And what did our Guangzhou-raised singer Cheung do?

He publicly stated on Facebook that he had decided to go and support his friends who were on a hunger strike.

He shamelessly said that he really wanted to go and shake hands with Joshua Wong.

Everyone, I don't need to tell you who Joshua Wong is, right?

He's a complete and utter ringleader of the Hong Kong riots.

Not only did Hins Cheung want to shake his hand, but he also shamelessly said that his family background was "politically correct," and that he only realized the value of democracy and freedom after going to Hong Kong.

Listen, is that what a human would say?

So, growing up in Guangzhou, the country mistreated you?

As soon as you cross the Lo Wu border, even the air smells sweet, right?

This kind of biting the hand that feeds you, this attitude...

this attitude...

broke the hearts of countless mainland fans at the time.

And then in 2014, man, this guy completely let himself go.

In March, there was the so-called "Sunflower Movement" in Taiwan.

A bunch of kids occupied the Legislative Yuan.

Hins Cheung quickly posted a picture of holding hands on Facebook, with the caption "Go, classmates across the strait!"

Okay, that's not all.

And then, at the end of 2014, the illegal "Occupy Central" movement broke out in Hong Kong.

This was a matter of major principle.

And at this critical juncture, what was Hins Cheung doing?

He went and sang a so-called "Occupy Central song" with the already rotten Anthony Wong.

And not only that, at the radio awards ceremony that year, with all of Hong Kong watching, he put on some extremely horrifying blood-red makeup, making himself look like a ghost, and openly sang praises for those thugs who were rioting on the streets.

Everyone, is this what you call "youthful impulse"?

He was in his late thirties when he was doing this stuff.

A man in his late thirties, who had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, what social cues didn't he understand?

What political winds couldn't he see?

He understood it all too well.

This was a calculated move to take a side.

To win the favor of some radical fans in Hong Kong, he毫不犹豫地把国家和民族的底线 trampled underfoot.

And let's talk about that incident that caused such an uproar back then, the mainland toddler poop incident.

At that time, the conflict between the two places was being frantically stirred up by some people with ulterior motives.

As an influential public figure, even if you don't come out to calm the situation, you can at least keep your mouth shut.

But what did Hins Cheung do?

He came out with a sarcastic tone and sneered at the Hong Kong officials.

His words were full of contempt for mainlanders.

He desperately tried to stir up trouble between the people of the two places.

I just want to ask him, have you forgotten that you grew up on the streets of Guangzhou?

Have you forgotten how you grew up?

This is complete and utter forgetting your roots.

Of course, Hins Cheung is also an extremely clever businessman.

He knows that if he jumps so high in Hong Kong, he'll definitely lose the mainland market.

So he started to show his Oscar-winning two-faced act.

On Facebook and abroad, he was a protest warrior.

And then he turned around and on mainland's Weibo, in November 2014, he issued another statement, saying that he had never made or participated in any so-called Hong Kong independence or separatist remarks or activities, and also stressed his firm opposition to any act that undermines national unity.

This kind of rhetoric would only fool a three-year-old.

Faced with the barrage of questions from mainland netizens, guess what he later said to his Hong Kong fans on foreign social media?

I still remember this sentence vividly.

He said, "Although I compromised for my family," "I am still by your side," "and I support you in my heart."

You want to make the mainlanders' money, and you want to build a monument to yourself as a Hong Kong localist.

You want to keep your luxury cars and mansions in the mainland, and you want to be a spiritual leader in Hong Kong.

You want to have it all.

This kind of fence-sitting, unprincipled opportunist is a hundred times worse than an enemy who is openly bad.

Alright, so we've covered all that.

Now let's get back to the core question.

Why now?

Why didn't he bow his head for so many years, but just today, in April 2026, he was suddenly "deeply moved" and had a great awakening?

Everyone, let's take a broader view, and look at the bigger picture today.

It's 2026.

The integrated development of the Greater Bay Area is progressing at lightning speed.

Look at the transportation now.

High-speed rail, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

The one-hour living circle in the Greater Bay Area has long been a reality.

And look at the Hong Kong entertainment industry now.

To put it bluntly, it's a setting sun.

Hong Kong's small plot of land, with a population of a few million, how big of a market can it be?

Those truly smart and visionary Hong Kong artists have long since moved north with their families.

Making movies, appearing on variety shows, going on tour, and even opening a live stream on Douyin or Kuaishou to sell products.

The slot fees and commissions from one night are probably more than what they used to make from 10 concerts in Hong Kong.

It's even more.

The mainland market now is a huge, juicy piece of meat.

A person as shrewd as Hins Cheung, could he not see it?

He sees it all too well.

He's drooling.

He sees his colleagues who were not as good as him back then, now thriving in the mainland, buying mansions, changing sports cars, making a fortune.

And then he looks at himself.

Just because of his past history, he's been softly blacklisted from the mainland market.

He can only splash around in the small pond of Hong Kong.

He panicked.

He was scared.

He's afraid of missing this once-in-a-century Greater Bay Area bonus.

He's afraid of being completely abandoned by this era and this huge market.

So this isn't a case of a prodigal son returning.

This is clearly a well-thought-out, carefully orchestrated commercial speculation.

He finally bowed his once-proud localist head.

Not because he thinks the country is so great, but because the RMB is just so fragrant.

He went to be a mentor for the Security Bureau simply to find an official way out, to use this as an excuse to get a pass to re-enter the mainland market.

A flimsy, "sincere apology" in exchange for the right to make a fortune in the mainland in the coming years.

This deal has been calculated by him to the extreme.

There's an old saying that's very beautiful: "Artists and writers should bear social responsibility."

But what is true social responsibility?

It's not about making a few grand statements when times are good.

It's about, at a critical moment of right and wrong, of storm and rain, you can stand tall and firm in your country's position.

Not like a weed on a wall, swaying whichever way the wind blows.

Hins Cheung said he hopes to eliminate the doubts in society, but when he lightly dismisses his past bad behavior as a product of the social atmosphere and youthful ignorance, that's a complete lack of responsibility.

A man almost fifty years old, still using "youth" as a shield.

Do you think the people of the whole country haven't graduated from kindergarten?

Wrong remarks concerning national and social stability should absolutely not be lightly forgiven.

Not even once.

A mentor's identity, with its extremely strong utilitarian color, should not be able to easily whitewash a dark past.

Of course, he now plans to lead young people to the north, to witness the country's prosperity.

This matter in itself, let's be fair, is a good thing.

For young people to see more of the great motherland, and to understand the real mainland, is definitely beneficial.

And as a great nation, we always have open arms, welcoming anyone who is truly repentant and willing to start over.

But, everyone, listen to this "but."

We welcome you to visit, we welcome you to learn, but we will not accept you using an apology as a ticket to make money.

And we will not accept you using political opportunism as a springboard for your career comeback.

A person who once openly supported separatism and incited confrontation, is now turning around to be a life mentor for young people.

This picture is too ironic.

We can't swallow it.

Young people do need guidance, but they definitely don't need this kind of guidance that's full of the stench of money and shrewd calculation.

If Hins Cheung really wants to clear up the doubts, really wants to turn over a new leaf, what he needs is definitely not this one high-sounding newspaper interview, and not some mentor title.

What he needs is long-term, practical action, and a genuine change of heart.

It's about, without any profit motive, still being able to stand firmly on the side of the national interest.

And until all this is proven by practice, we mainlanders have every reason to remain vigilant, and keep our wallets tight.

After all, the story of "the boy who cried wolf," we've seen it in the entertainment industry so many times over the years.

We can listen to your apology, but if you want our trust and our market, I'm sorry, we'll have to wait and see.

Alright, that's all for today.

I'm Xiao Lan.

See you next time.
