Coronavirus: Canto-pop star Aaron Kwok to hold fundraising concert to help city’s struggling dancers and film industry workers

Canto-pop star Aaron Kwok Fu-shing is to throw a charity concert online on Saturday to raise funds for dancers and film crew hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Cheer Up & Dance concert will be held from 5pm to 6pm.

Kwok, 54, said the performance would help raise funds for the city’s professional dancers and crew in the film industry, who barely benefit from the government’s HK$138 billion relief package.

“I’m a dancer and an actor … I hope the concert can help raise some funding for people working in the entertainment industry to meet their urgent needs.” Kwok said.

“The industry that has been bringing entertainment to people is facing difficulties. Some people lost their jobs and some switched to other professions.”
