Can you tell what this man is wearing on his head? It is called a turban, and it is part of this man’s religion.
The man in this picture is a Sikh, which means he believes in a religion called Sikhism that began 500 years ago in India.
There are five things that Sikhs must do for their religion, and one of them is to never, ever cut their hair. Sikhs believe that if they leave their hair uncut, it will show the rest of the world who they are and what they believe.

Many Sikh men all over the world wrap their long hair up in turbans. But usually turbans are not more than 5m long, so they don’t look as big as the one this man is wearing. The man in this picture is wearing a traditional turban that is 425m long!
He is wearing his turban during a parade that Sikhs have to show how important it is to be proud to wear a turban and to be proud to be known as a Sikh.

你能看出這名男子頭上戴的是什麼嗎？它叫「圖班頭巾」，是這名男子信仰的一部分。

他在一項遊行中穿戴自己的圖班頭巾。錫克教徒必須藉此遊行彰顯以戴圖班頭巾及身為錫克教徒為榮的重要性。

The Russians controlled the railways now, cutting through China, taking land and resources. The people were angry, and so was he. The revolution was almost ready. But things went wrong. Sun Wu, a key leader, lay in the hospital with critical wounds. The explosives were meant for the revolution but detonated by accident. Sun and the revolutionary plans were discovered by the police. Jiang grimaced at the
At an unusual event, a group of people gather and sit together without interacting or checking their phones. Instead, they concentrate on nothing at all and empty their minds for the Space-Out Competition. Originally proposed by South Korean artist Woopsyang in 2014, this event is a form of performance art. It challenges the social expectation to remain constantly busy in this fast-paced world, offering competitors a pause from their routines. For 90 minutes, players are scored on how well they “space out” based on artistic and technical aspects, with their heart rates monitored every 15 minutes. Then, the audience votes for
A: Taiwanese-language pop singer Jody Chiang is finally staging a comeback after having “turned off the microphone” for nine years. B: Yeah, she’s set to perform for the National Day celebration at the Taipei Dome this Saturday. A: As the best Taiwanese-language singer, it would be a big loss if she continued her hiatus.
