近日，香港藝人曾志偉、鐘鎮濤與某反華歌手黃某志合影后，雙雙發文道歉：“堅定維護國家尊嚴與民族情感”。

In response to the backlash over their photo with a Malaysian anti-China singer, Hong Kong actors Eric Tsang and Kenny Bee, both stated that the photo was simply a polite gesture in a public setting, and they were unaware of the singer's background and history. They also emphasized that as Chinese nationals, they have always been committed to upholding national dignity and ethnic sentiments.

7月21日下午，相關話題沖上熱搜。

7月20日，曾志偉、鐘鎮濤在馬來西亞云頂的公開活動中，與馬來西亞極端反華歌手黃某志合影。黃某志長期發表反華言論，受境外反華勢力資助。黃某志將合影發布于社交媒體炫耀，引發公眾對曾志偉、鐘鎮濤立場的質疑。

Tsang and Bee recently attended an event at the Arena of Stars in Resorts World Genting, Malaysia, where photographs with an anti-China Malaysian singer sparked public outcry and prompted clarifying statements.

7月21日凌晨，曾志偉發布微博澄清近期爭議。

“作為一名中國人，我始終致力于維護國家尊嚴和民族情感。然而，近日在馬來西亞云頂的一場活動中，由于與個別人士的公開合影，引起了公眾的誤解。對此，我感到非常遺憾，并希望通過這封信向大家作出嚴正的澄清。”

“該次合影純屬于公開場合的禮節性互動，我對該人士的背景及其過往行為并不知情。若提前得知其相關情況，絕不會有任何接觸。這次事件純屬無意失誤，絕不代表我對該人士的觀點有任何支持或認同。”

“再次向大家致以最深切的歉意。”

Tsang issued a clarification via his official Weibo account early Monday, explaining that the photo was merely a polite interaction in a public setting. He stated that he had no prior knowledge of the individual's background or past actions.

Tsang added that if he had been aware of the circumstances, he would have avoided any interaction entirely.

"This incident was entirely unintentional and in no way represents my support for or endorsement of the singer's views," Tsang wrote on Weibo.

"As a Chinese national, I remain firmly committed to upholding national dignity and ethnic sentiments," read Tsang's post.

7月20日，香港藝人鐘鎮濤發表聲明，就與馬來西亞反華歌手黃某志合影事件道歉。

“本人作為一名中國人，始終以實際行動踐行愛國精神，堅定維護國家尊嚴與民族情感。近日在馬來西亞云頂活動中，因不察與個別人士合影之行為引發誤解，本人特此作出嚴正聲明。”

“當時合影純屬公開場合禮節性互動，本人對該人士背景及過往不當言行毫不知情。若早知其立場，絕不會有任何接觸。此事件屬無心之失，絕不代表本人認同其觀點。 ”

The previous afternoon, Bee similarly clarified on his official Weibo account that if he had known the individual's stance in advance, he would have completely avoided any contact.

He described the incident as an unintentional misstep that in no way signifies his endorsement of the individual's views.

Bee further affirmed: "As a Chinese national, I consistently demonstrate patriotism through concrete actions and firmly uphold national dignity and ethnic sentiments."
