Chow can be a good adviser

(China Daily) Updated: 2013-01-18 08:04

The list of names of the 11th Guangdong provincial political advisory body, which includes several Hong Kong movie stars, was approved recently. The name of Stephen Chow, the most famous movie star on the list, has sparked heated discussions because people think he has never been interested in politics, says an article in Beijing News. Excerpts:

Even before the release of his new film, Odyssey, actor, director Stephen Chow has hit the headlines by being included as a member of the political advisory body of Guangdong province.

People cannot relate the hilarious character of Chow - thanks to his casual and funny image on the big screen - with that of a serious political advisory body member. People have this idea also because Chow has seldom taken part in political activities. He is very much unlike Jackie Chan, who always makes high-profile speeches, or Annie Inoh, the actress and writer from Taiwan, who has shown a keen interest in current affairs and is involved in charity.

Moreover, people have always thought that Chow has been indifferent to the outside world.

Reality, however, could be otherwise and people might have misunderstood Chow. By being elected as a member of a provincial political advisory body, Chow has shown his concern for and devotion to society. It is obvious that people look up to him with hope, and expect him to come up with proposals that would benefit society as a whole. They also want him to fulfill his obligations and succeed in his new role as political adviser just as he has done as an actor and director.

Chow's decision to assume more social responsibility and contribute to the betterment of society should be praised. There is no need for people to doubt his abilities as a provincial political adviser. And we hope that, as a member of Guangdong provincial political advisory body, he doesn't let down the people who believe in him.
