Singer Crowd Lu first gained popularity with his song Good Morning, Breakfast when he entered showbiz almost 10 years ago. Recently, the singer-turned-actor has also proven himself in the hit TV drama A Boy Named Flora A, the highest rated program nationwide.
In the drama, Lu plays the lead role of 28-year-old Cheng Hua-chia, or Flora A, who failed the joint college entrance exam three times and was retained for two more years in college — someone who looked just like a “loser” in others’ eyes. “Flora A and I are very much alike,” Lu said with a shy smile, as usual. “No one is really a loser to me. Perhaps it’s just that their time has not yet come.”
After the final episode was aired last week, Lu is now turning back to being a singer again. He is going to hold a concert scheduled for Aug. 19 at the Taipei International Convention Center. All the tickets were sold out within 28 seconds.(CNA, translated by Eddy Chang)

Returning to the White House with unprecedented economic weaponry, US President Donald Trump has launched a comprehensive tariff offensive that has sent shockwaves through international markets. On April 2, Trump announced his “reciprocal tariff” strategy, aimed at punishing trading partners who sell more to the US than they buy in return. Central to his policy is the disputed view that such trade deficits harm the US economy. While Trump later suspended most of the tariffs to allow time for negotiations, some still went into effect, and the others remain a looming economic threat. Tariffs, essentially taxes imposed on imported goods, raise

He paused to breathe. He admired the branches, glowing against black silence of space. He smelled the blossoms, sweet but fleeting. Long ago, he drank deep of wine. He chased fast pleasures. He sought the potion of immortality. Not to escape death, but to merge with the Dao. Yet he hurried. He demanded the quick path. The Jade Emperor saw his heart. Desire without patience. So
