The message reads:

“I have brought this upon myself. A mistake is a mistake. This has nothing to do with anyone else,” Wen Zhang wrote, per The Hollywood Reporter. “Today, I am willing to accept all the consequences. I’ve let down Ma Yili and our children. My mistake does not deserve to be forgiven, and it will be difficult for me to make amends for all the harm I’ve caused. But I want to do it. I have to do it. This is what I’ll do for the rest of my life.”

The actor was made famous by his appearance in Stephen Chow’s 2013 movie “Journey to the West”,and  he was also seen in the Jet Li starrer “Badges of Fury”.
