Additionally, the actor expressed that he hoped everyone will get along again in the future.

Tsang also added that he doubts that the police would open-fire at the citizens, but he is more afraid that terrorist groups would take the opportunity to infiltrate.

The actor says that he is convinced that the demonstrator, particularly the students, are not aiming for violence as they would just raise their arms to show that they are there for a peaceful protest.

When asked whether the Hong Kong Performing Artiste's Guild will be monitoring the protests, Tsang stated that every member of the organization have their own views and differences regarding the matter which means that the Guild will not be releasing any official statement to state their side or opinions regarding the protests.
