Launched in 2016, “A Classic Tour” by Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung, also known as “God of Songs,” ended on Tuesday. With 233 concerts in total — including 12 shows in Taipei and three in Kaohsiung — the tour broke the record for most shows in a tour by a Chinese singer, and grossed over NT$10 billion (about US$323.8 million).
As the concert market continues to thrive, Japanese band Mr. Children is to stage two shows in Taiwan, the band’s first ever overseas performances. Formed in 1989, Mr. Children — with over 30 No. 1 hits under its belt — is one of Japan’s biggest groups. The two shows are to take place at the Taipei Arena today and tomorrow.
The “Folk 44 Summit” concert is scheduled for after the Lunar New Year holidays, on Feb. 17 at the Taipei International Convention Center. The concert, this year featuring veteran folk singers such as Samson Shih, Johnny Yin, Michelle Pan and Christine Hsu, is held annually to celebrate the emergence of Taiwanese folk music in 1975.

Last year, China’s push for the network certificate and internet ID system sparked widespread debate. The internet ID assigns users a unique code linked to their personal information without revealing their full identity, while the network certificate serves as a digital credential, enabling users to verify their identity across various platforms. This bold policy requires Chinese citizens to connect their online activities to their real identities. An internet “real-name system” demands that every user provide their actual identity information before accessing online services. The goal is to prevent online crime, cyberbullying, and harmful content. China has implemented a comprehensive real-name verification

During the Late Stone Age in Africa, humans began to carve notches onto bones to create tangible records of quantities. One of the earliest known examples is the Wolf bone, an artifact unearthed in Central Europe in 1937. This bone bears notches believed to be an early form of counting. Even more intriguing
