CHINESE COMMUNITY OPPOSES TO CHOW YUN FAT'S HANDPRINT IN CEMENT

Yun Fat in ANNA AND THE KING


(ORIENTAL DAILY 12/8/1999) Chow Yun Fat's third Hollywood film ANNA AND THE KING would be released on the 17th in America. Fat Jai has also begun a series of promotional activities there. On Wednesday he would place in hand in cement in front of the statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen in Chinatown. However some of the Chinese community has voiced opposition, claiming the act is disrespectful to Dr. Sun.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles, the organizer of the event, confirmed that the ceremony would take place in front of the statue but the exact location of which the handprint would be placed has not been decided yet.
According to a representative of the opposition, leaving Fat Jai's handprints in front of Dr. Sun's statue is disrespectful to Dr. Sun because in the film he plays the monarch of Siam, completely unrelated to Sun Yat Sen.
