Taiwanese singer Hebe Tien has posted her first message on Chinese social media Weibo in more than a month.
This was after she had been accused by Chinese netizens of supporting Taiwanese independence.
Tien, a member of Taiwanese girl group S.H.E, shared a post from China’s CCTV News on the Sichuan earthquake on Monday evening. She wrote in Chinese: “Hope everyone is safe. Beware of the aftershocks. Keep it up, Sichuan.”
A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan on Monday, with the death toll rising to 74 on Wednesday.
Chinese netizens’ reactions to Tien’s latest post have been more positive, with one netizen commenting that she did not hold any grudges despite being vilified recently.
The netizen added that Tien, 39, was one of the celebrities who donated 600,000 yuan (S$121,000) to the Henan flood effort last year without publicising her good deed.
