正当本港各大地产商、商界及社团近日纷纷在报章刊登声明，要求停止暴力、恢复社会秩序时，长和系资深顾问李嘉诚今日（16日）以"一个香港市民"名义，在本港多份报章刊登广告，至少有两款，其中一款引用他多次用以警惕港人的名句──"黄台之瓜 何堪再摘"，另一款则明确反暴力，并写有"最好的因 可成最坏的果"、"以爱之义 止息怒愤"，并于今早透过发言人，进一步向外界解释刊登有关广告的原因。
有关回应全文如下：
李嘉诚今日透过发言人回应登报广告一事，指主要因为他认为，香港长期繁荣稳定系于"一国两制"行稳致远，今日香港，要停止暴力，坚守法治 。时间的长河看不到尽头，人生的路走不回头。（资料图片）
李嘉诚透过发言人就刊登广告的回应，中、英文版的全文如下：
李嘉诚先生今天以一个香港市民身份刊登广告，主要因为他认为，香港长期繁荣稳定系于"一国两制"行稳致远。今日香港，要停止暴力，坚守法治 。时间的长河看不到尽头，人生的路走不回头。
他的心声：爱中国、爱香港、爱自己；大家一定要以爱之义，止息怒愤，对"一国两制"，以谦和而珍之。
对于传媒提出其它查询，他透过发言人作以下回应：
问：为何刊登两个不同广告？
基于目前香港形势复杂，难以用单一语言或沟通方法回应，"应以何身得度者，即现何身而为之说法"。
问：对政府有何看法？
现时年轻人给政府的声音和讯息震耳欲聋，政府已在绞尽脑汁。
问：对年轻人有何看法？
投放资源在青年工作，永不后悔，因为投资青年，就是投资未来。
不要让今天的激情，成为明天的遗憾。
Mr. Li Ka-shing shared his thoughts as a private citizen this morning
The road to Hell is often paved with good intentions. We need to be mindful of unintended consequences.
It is hard to imagine a better world when the community is highly charged. Violence in thoughts and actions is not a mean to accomplish any vision because they misrepresent, peaceful situations can come to feel dangerous, the percolation thereafter will be self-fulfilling.
We need to cherish ourselves, our identity as Chinese and a Hong Kong citizen, just as we treasure freedom, empathy and rule of law.

Learning from the Lotus Sutra, which taught a method of communication with different levels and different types of beings. In my opinion, today there is no single one message to different types of beings.
“If there are living-beings need to be liberated in a certain way, then Avalokitesvara will manifest and teach the Dharma as according to that need.“ Universal Gate Chapter, The Lotus Sutra
Q: What are your views about the Government?
I think the government heard the messages from the protesters loud and clear and is diligently racking their brains now for solutions.
Q: What are your views on young people today?
The young always fear the future has nothing to do with them. Investing in our next generation will always bear fruit for our city. Investing in the future matters.
The time and space offered by “one country two systems“ must be safeguarded by mutual deference. Time is an endless river in constant flux, but we cannot step in the river twice, pray we never let today’s passion becomes tomorrow’s regret.
