Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung, also known as the “God of Songs,” launched his new “A Classic Tour” in Beijing last year, following a five-year hiatus. Cheung will do six shows over this and next weekend on Feb. 11, 12, 13, 17, 18 and 19 at the Taipei Arena. More than 70,000 tickets were snapped up within just a few minutes.
With a 32-member orchestra and 30 dancers and acrobats, Cheung will perform nearly 40 greatest hits. For these shows, Cheung will once more be performing on a classic four-sided stage, hoping to wow the audience with a 360-degree stereo vision through LED screens.
Before the concerts, the Criminal Investigation Bureau caught an engineer surnamed Chen who had developed a computer-automated booking program to purchase Cheung’s and other artists’ tickets, which he then sold at much higher prices, working with ticket scalpers. The suspects have already been apprehended.

Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Just yesterday, the boy had helped hang the lucky red couplets. Tonight, as firecrackers signaled the New Year, he lay in bed burning with a surging fever. The herbalist checked the boy’s pulse and went still. “The only cure is in the county town across the mountains,” he said. “But the snow is deep, and the shops are shuttered until the Fourth Day.” The boy’s father looked at the window. “I will go.” “The roads are impassable for a cart,” the herbalist warned. “And too far for a man on foot.” The concerned neighbor
Many animals spend the winter in a deep, low-energy state known as “hibernation.” When food becomes scarce and cold conditions drain body heat, bats, hedgehogs, and some ground squirrels retreat to safe shelters. Their bodies slow down to save energy: heart rates drop, breathing becomes shallow, and body temperature falls. Plenty of preparation goes into hibernation. Shorter days and falling temperatures provoke these animals to eat more and store fat, which sustains the brain and other organs. Inside the body, hormones guide this seasonal change, triggering specific behavior and switching the system to energy-saving mode. Hibernation is not the only winter survival
Contrary to popular belief, glass bottles may pose a greater microplastic risk than plastic ones. A recent study found that beverages stored in glass bottles can contain up to 50 times more microplastic particles than those in plastic containers. Researchers traced most of the contamination to the paint on the outside of the metal caps. The particles found in the drinks matched the cap’s coating in both color and composition. Experts suggest the issue may result from microscopic scratches that form as caps rub against each other during transport or storage. Such scratches can damage the painted coating, leading
1. 我沒有兄弟姊妹。 ˇ I have no brother(s) and sister(s). ˇ I don’t have any brothers or sisters. ˇ I have no siblings. χ I have not any brothers or sisters. 註：首句 no 是形容詞，加在名詞前作修飾用，意思等於 don’t have any。I have not any 是彆扭過時的講法，現代英文一般會說 I don’t have any... 或 I have no...。 又如：*In totalitarian countries people have not any freedom. 應改為 people have no freedom. 或 people do not have any freedom. 2 不要怕那隻狗。 ˇ Don’t be afraid of the dog. ˇ Don’t fear the dog. χ Don’t afraid of the dog. 註：afraid 是形容詞，在句中作補語，前面必須加 be 動詞。注意：「我不怕熱」，一般不說 *I’m not afraid of hot weather. 可以說：Hot weather doesn’t bother me. 3. 他準備好了嗎？ ˇ Has he got everything
