A distraught Shu Qi

Possibly a victim of crossfire in the war of words between Donnie Yen and Vincent Zhao over "Special Identity", Shu Qi deleted all her posts on her Weibo microblog account after a series of posts attacking and harassing her. Shu Qi has over 10 million followers. She had recently given her support to Donnie Yen, her "Legend of the Fist" costar. So some speculate that the attacks were from Vincent Zhao supporters, or it could have been from other people taking advantage of the dispute to settle old scores. Fellow artists, Wong Jing, Carina Lau, Gordon Chan, Yao Chen, Feng Xiaogang, Annie Yi, Zhang Yuan and Chen Kun expressed solidarity with Shu Qi and condemned the 'network of violence' on their own weibo posts. (Sina), 2, 3

Meanwhile, many people have shown their support for Shu Qi, including film director Wong Jing, who followed her footstep to delete all comments on his weibo as a silent protest.
"I know who's behind this, but don't have evidence," he told a reporter over the phone.
Chinese director Feng Xiaogang also supported Shu Qi. He wrote: "If I scold you of behaving like an animal, I'm humiliating the animals."
Vincent apologised to Shu Qi for being dragged into the dispute. "I hope this issue will end soon, Shu Qi is innocent."
