No.3  Celebrities arrested for drug taking

The year 2014 saw a string of stars in entertainment circles falling for taking drugs. Popular singer Li Daimo was arrested in April, followed by famous screenwriter Ning Caishen (born Chen Wanning) and director Zhang Yuan in June, actor Zhang Yaoyang and Zhang Mo in July and actor Gao Hu in August.

One of the cases that drew the most public attention was the arrest of film stars Ke Zhendong (Kai Ko) and Fang Zhuming (Jaycee Chan), the son of international superstar Jackie Chan. With so many celebrities exposed for drug talking, the Beijing Trade Association For Performances and the SAPPRFT (State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China) urgently called for stronger self-discipline and higher moral standards in the arts.
