As soon as news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death broke, Hongkongers braved the scorching heat and queued for hours outside the British Consulate General in Hong Kong to mourn the loss of the beloved Queen of England. They lay flowers and signed a condolence book prepared by the Consulate.

However, thousands of mainland Chinese netizens condemned a famous Cantonese opera singer for also paying his respects to the late Queen. The actor had to apologize publicly and stressed that he was Chinese and China would always be his motherland.
