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)

Here is a rundown of his main responsibilities. CATHOLIC LEADER The word pope comes from the Greek “pappas,” meaning “father, patriarch,” which is why believers call him the Holy Father.

Have you ever wondered who decides what we see in a museum or how one artwork seamlessly connects to the next? Behind every thoughtfully arranged gallery space stands a curator, a skilled professional who combines art and storytelling to craft meaningful experiences. The term “curator” originates from the Latin word cura, meaning “to care.” Curators were originally caretakers of museum collections, but over time, their role has grown to include a broad range of responsibilities that extend far beyond preservation.
