Lau wrote a post on his official website, expressing his hope that Hong Kong will become a peaceful nation again, while Chow encouraged the Hong Kong government to face the issues boldly and not to evade the matter.

Actor Tony Leung has also released an official statement regarding the matter, taking to Facebook to write about his expression of support to the demonstrators. In his post, he wrote, "I support all the Hong Kong people who are expressing their demands through peaceful means."

Leung also added that he is against the police's decision to use aggressive tactics to suppress the demonstrators, saying that he hopes the government will address the people with sincerity.

Hong Kong actress Miriam Yeung, on the other hand, also wrote on her Facebook page, saying, "I hope the government will resolve this soon. Listen respectfully. Don't resort to violence! Peace to all kids and everyone."

Yeung's husband, Real Ting, also uploaded a photo of a yellow ribbon with a black background, expressing his disappointment about the deepening problem in the government which is supposed to have solved when the protests began.

Different from all the other celebrities that expressed their support for the demonstrators, actress Lynn Hung also wrote a message that seemingly criticizes the demonstrators on her Weibo account, airing her opinion that people are being sacrificed to reach a goal which she finds despicable, adding that their excuses are not worth it.

Meanwhile, protesters in Hong Kong didn't seem to have any plans to vacate the venue despite the government's demand for them to clear the streets and warnings that the situation might become worse.
