It's official! Perfect Hong Kong couple Gigi Leung (
The model ex-couple even broke up in a graceful way, stressing that the break-up didn't involve a third party nor hard feelings between them. Some gossip insiders believe distance was the reason for the split, as Leung often travels abroad for work and Cheng spends most of the time playing computer games at home. Others think Cheng's contin-uing close relationship with his previous girlfriend, sexy star Maggie Siu (
Either way, the prince-and-princess-living-happily-ever-after fairly tale has once again, proved unattainable in real life.
After a failed attempt to woo Patty Hou (
When asked to comment on the story, Jay Chou (
According to the Liberty Times, Lau Wai-keung (
Chou exposed his shy side to Jet Li (
At the press conference held to announce the movie's theme song, Li said he was a bit worried to learn that Chou was responsible for the tune, as "his beats are even faster than my kicks."
Li did however express his pleasure at the outcome.
Li also spoke favorably of Chou's directorial talent and asked the Mando-pop king not to forget to cast him in his films when he becomes a director one day.
And his majesty's response? Nervous and almost speechless on meeting with his life-long idol Li, Chou said he would not dare to direct the action hero.
Winning the first place on the Mando-pop bill board in the first month of this year, Wang Lee-hom's (王力宏) new album Unparalleled Hero (蓋世英雄) has already sold 1 million copies across Asia. The key to his success? Apart from his pretty face, Wang creatively combines Chinese traditional music with hip hop beats to create a new fusion style called "chinked-out" music.
As one of Pop Stop's showbiz informers pointed out, "chink" was and is a racial slur referring to Chinese people. By turning the negative connotation upside-down, Wang said the term would be given a new meaning in relation to a musical style that is international and Chinese at the same time.
Judging from the success of Wang's new sound, the word "chink" will soon become a moniker of cool like "taike" has.
A recent report from the Environmental Management Administration of the Ministry of Environment highlights a perennial problem: illegal dumping of construction waste. In Taoyuan’s Yangmei District (楊梅) and Hsinchu’s Longtan District (龍潭) criminals leased 10,000 square meters of farmland, saying they were going to engage in horticulture. They then accepted between 40,000 and 50,000 cubic meters of construction waste from sites in northern Taiwan, charging less than the going rate for disposal, and dumped the waste concrete, tile, metal and glass onto the leased land. Taoyuan District prosecutors charged 33 individuals from seven companies with numerous violations of the law. This
As mega K-pop group BTS returns to the stage after a hiatus of more than three years, one major market is conspicuously missing from its 12-month world tour: China. The omission of one of the group’s biggest fan bases comes as no surprise. In fact, just the opposite would have been huge news. China has blocked most South Korean entertainment since 2016 under an unofficial ban that also restricts movies and the country’s popular TV dramas. For some Chinese, that means flying to Seoul to see their favorite groups perform — as many were expected to do for three shows opening
What is the importance within the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) of the meeting between Xi Jinping (習近平), the leader Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文), the leader of the KMT? Local media is an excellent guide to determine how important — or unimportant — a news event is to the public. Taiwan has a vast online media ecosystem, and if a news item is gaining traction among readers, editors shift resources in near real time to boost coverage to meet the demand and drive up traffic. Cheng’s China trip is among the top headlines, but by no means
Apr. 13 to Apr. 19 From 17th-century royalty and Presbyterian missionaries to White Terror victims, cultural figures and industrialists, Nanshan Public Cemetery (南山公墓) sprawls across 95 hectares, guarding four centuries of Taiwan’s history. Current estimates show more than 60,000 graves, the earliest dating to 1642. Besides individual tombs, there are also hundreds of family plots, one of which is said to contain around 1,000 remains. As the cemetery occupies valuable land in the heart of Tainan, the government in 2018 began asking families to relocate the graves to make way for development. That
