吴彦祖，之所以能成为很多人的偶像，不仅仅是因为他极高的颜值。

最近，46岁的吴彦祖又做了一件非常爷们的事情，身在海外的他和演员金大贤在网上发出悬赏令，出资2.5万美元（约合16万元人民币），想协助警方找出在美国街头推倒91岁亚裔老人的凶手。

事情是这样的，一位亚裔老人在美国奥克兰的唐人街上被一位蒙面男子无缘无故直接从背后推倒，摔倒在地，行凶者随后逃走。据调查，这并不是本地区第一起推倒亚裔老人的例子，在本月之前已经有过两起类似的犯罪，这样的现象似乎愈演愈烈，是赤裸裸的对亚裔族裔的迫害和歧视。

2月7日，演员吴彦祖、金大贤等人接受MSNBC采访，就美国近期多起针对亚裔群体的仇恨犯罪发声，两人悬赏搜寻针对亚裔的行凶者，表示对袭击行为忍无可忍，必须奋起反击。

这一行为得到众多亚裔的强烈支持，纷纷夸赞他是真正的男神。不过，也有人担心吴彦祖这样公开抛头露面，还出钱悬赏，可能会给自己引来麻烦，担心他被报复。但是，吴彦祖不在乎，他身上一直存在的正义感，让他无法对此事坐视不管。

Daniel Wu Shine Light on Rising Violence Against Asian Americans

In the interview on Sunday, the MSNBC anchor discussed the recent attacks against Asian Americans that made headlines, including the death of an 84-year-old Thai American and the assault of a 91-year-old man in Oakland’s Chinatown.

Menendez also brought up the $25,000 reward set up by Kim and Wu to help with the arrest of the suspect, which police later identified as a person of interest. The suspect has since been charged.

“We put up the reward because we didn’t see enough action coming from the authorities to thwart these crimes from happening increasingly since the rise of Covid,” Wu said. “We decided that we needed to take action as leaders in our community to make a statement that we’re not going to take this anymore and we need to take action and rise up.”

Kim talked about how the elderly are severely affected by the recent rise of violent attacks on Asian Americans, giving several examples, including the assault on a 61-year-old Filipino man in New York.

“It’s been particularly difficult for our elderly community because not only are they affected by, you know, underlying conditions that would affect their health and make them scared to go out and interact with other people,” he said. “Now they are subject to being fearful to walk outside to be attacked.”

“I urge people to wake up and choose love. I know it sounds really corny but the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s apathy,” Nguyen said. “Silence erases our humanity. It roars through the head of every Asian American as they step out the door and are afraid of getting slashed on the subway, burned alive on the street, or slaughtered by complete strangers. How many more people need to be killed in order for the media to think we are worthy of a story?”

“That is the first step and then from there taking steps to help what’s happening to our community,” he said. “We are being attacked on all sides by all types of people and so we need to stop that as soon as possible. The first thing is to make sure that everyone recognizes that is happening.”

“We are crying out for help and we are crying out for people to lend a hand to help us with our plight,” he added.

While Nguyen commended President Joe Biden’s new memorandum that condemns anti-Asian attacks, she said she is fighting for more stories such as these to get covered by the media.

“Justice from the justice department is a start but there is also a long history in this country of otherling and erasing Asian Americans,” Nguyen said. “In the 1800s we built the railroads that connect America yet we were lynched in one of the largest lynching’s in U.S. history. In the 1900s we fought in World War II, yet we were rounded up like animals in internment camps. Obviously this past year thousands of hate crimes have happened. We, too, sing America. We were promised equality in this country and it is betrayal of the fundamental tenet of what it means to be American if people stay silent in the face of hate.”

Daniel Wu & Dae Kim on the fight against anti-Asian American violence

Actors Daniel Wu and Daniel Dae Kim told CBS News on Tuesday that more action is needed from public officials to combat anti-Asian American rhetoric, after a string of attacks against elderly members of the community. Their plea follows a surge in attacks against Asian Americans, which have been linked in part to the coronavirus pandemic. 

"We're looking for help from our [district attorneys]. We're looking for help from our community organizers. We're looking for help from our legislators and politicians," Dae Kim told CBSN anchor Elaine Quijano.

More than 1,800 racist incidents against Asian Americans were reported between March and May of 2020, according to a United Nations report. The report linked the violence and other incidents to the coronavirus outbreak, which was first discovered in China. 

"This is a growing problem," Dae Kim said. "These are numbers we've never seen before."

Last month, three violent attacks targeting elderly Asian Americans in Oakland's Chinatown were caught on video. The incidents prompted Wu and Dae Kim to offer a $25,000 reward for information on the suspect. 

"Those of us who have been following these issues since COVID started have seen these kinds of incidents in our news feeds pop up almost daily, and yet we see very little being done about it," Dae Kim said. 

A suspect was arrested Monday in connection with the assaults, according to Oakland Police. Yahya Muslim, 28, was charged with assault, battery and elder abuse among other charges, according to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office.

President Biden signed an executive order on January 26 that condemned racism, xenophobia and intolerance against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Mr. Biden put blame on the Trump administration for helping stoke the rhetoric. Former President Trump had referred to the coronavirus as the "Kung Flu" and the "Chinese virus."

"Such statements have stoked unfounded fears and perpetuated stigma about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and have contributed to increasing rates of bullying, harassment, and hate crimes against AAPI persons," the memorandum said. 

CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday what Mr. Biden planned to do beyond denouncing anti-Asian American rhetoric. Biden would "support additional action on a local level or federal level," Psaki said. 

"What the federal government can do further on is reach out to community groups that are already in this space and have been doing this work for years and find out more about how they can help," Wu said. 

Dae Kim called on fellow Asian Americans to have pride in their heritage: "Be proud to be Asian. Be proud to be American. You've earned the right to be both and we can all work together to be a united America. That's the hope. That's the dream." 

去年7月，一位89岁的亚裔老人家被歹徒袭击并遭背后纵火，听到这一消息的吴彦祖非常震惊，他认为所有人都应该反对这种可恶的行径，应该将肇事者绳之以法，故而去年吴彦祖就曾悬赏1.5万美元（约合9.6万元人民币）协助警方缉拿凶手。这次发生的伤害亚裔老人的事件，是吴彦祖第二次自掏腰包悬赏。

两次悬赏令的发出，让公众看到吴彦祖身上的正义感，民族情怀以及对亚裔群体的关怀。作为圈内人士，他主动协助警方调查凶手，这样的行为获得了很多人的肯定，也引起了更多人对亚裔在海外遭受歧视和伤害这一事实的关注。

2020年吴彦祖第一次悬赏缉凶报道

据香港“东网”报道，纽约布鲁克林区为热门华人聚居地，当地不时传出针对亚裔的罪案。7月，区内一名89岁的华裔老妇早前离开家不久，突遭两名蒙脸男子掌掴和点火，引起民愤。

美国广播公司（ABC）事后采访了这名只懂说粤语的老人，据其忆述，她7月14日离开位于宾臣墟（Bensonhurst）的住所后，不到几分钟就被两名男子袭击，背部也很快被点火。

她急忙逃走，并连忙靠在墙上灭火，所幸并无大碍。老人说她与施袭者素未谋面，对方也没有试图抢夺其钱包和手机。

“东网”援引ABC消息称，老人所在小区领袖唐·李（Don Lee）表示：“小区内居民众多，但他们（犯人）故意挑选亚裔女性、亚裔老人去犯下这种可耻的罪行。这除了是仇恨犯罪外，没别的理由。”警方则指，暂无证据显示受害人是被特定针对，犯人犯案时也无作出仇恨言论，宾臣墟小区正悬红追缉凶手。

据“东网”报道，出生于美国旧金山的华语影视男演员吴彦祖接受当地传媒采访时表示，当看到89岁的老人家遭袭击并被纵火的消息时，他非常震惊，他觉得所有人都必须反对这种可恶的行为，并将肇事者绳之以法，他决定悬红1.5万美元（约12万港元）缉凶。

而在当地生活的歌手欧阳靖（MC Jin）已成立1.5万美元奖励基金，所以悬赏金已增加至3万美元（约23.2万港元）。
