According to reports, Hu Hongjun went to Huadu, Guangzhou at the end of last month to attend the "Huadu New Year Golden Songs" event. On that day, Priscilla Chan, Grasshopper, Lu Fang and others took the stage. After finishing work, Hu Hongjun took the high-speed train back to Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, he would be stopped by the customs and arrested. .
It is understood that Hong Kong celebrities have gone north to make money in recent years, especially during the Chinese New Year. Moreover, the goods from the mainland are of high quality and low price, plus the service attitude is good and word of mouth spreads, so many people will return with a full load. Hu Hongjun said in an interview that this time he was helping a friend buy heated cigarettes in the Mainland. He did not know enough about Hong Kong’s illegal regulations on heated cigarettes. He thought Hong Kong could bring heated cigarettes in, so he helped his friend buy them. He said he would not make the same mistake next time. .
According to Hong Kong media reports, Hu Hongjun violated the Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance, Chapter 371 of Hong Kong Laws, which requires tourists to import alternative smoking products, including appliances, or their parts and accessories, and any substances used in the appliance to generate aerosol. For example, heating cigarettes, e-cigarette oil, etc. is illegal.
Once it breaks the law, the maximum penalty is HKD 50,000 or imprisonment for 6 months.
At present, Hu Hongjun has been released on bail and is waiting to appear in court. The Hong Kong media is worried that he will leave a criminal record and affect his future acting work. There may be a lot of trouble traveling between the mainland and Hong Kong.
It is reported that 33-year-old Hu Hongjun participated in the TVB competition "The Big Voice 2" and won the runner-up in 2010. After that, he signed a contract with TVB to film a drama. He was well-known to the audience for his starring role as "Shi Gandang" in the TV series "The Devil". As his popularity continues to rise, , Hu Hongjun received constant invitations from the Mainland and often went to the Mainland for business performances.
Hu Hongjun is now flourishing in both music and acting, and he has also signed a contract with Shaw Brothers to make movies. Although there is a lawsuit, the company has no plans to hide it. After the new year, he will start working as usual to shoot the new Shaw Brothers drama "The Enforcers".
Hu Hongjun issued a statement denying his arrest, but was intercepted and received a summons, and apologized again.
