Rene Hou, who has appeared in many Taiwanese-language TV dramas, is best known for her role in “Fiery Thunderbolt.” Hou may look tough, but she burst into tears recently while filming an episode of the Public Television Service (PTS) TV show Mr. Brain. She revealed that she suffers from an inherited eye condition, “Retinitis Pigmentosa” (RP), which she got from her father.
RP is a retinal disorder, night blindness being one of the more conspicuous symptoms. “You never know when you will start losing your eyesight,” Hou said on the show, speaking of the pressure she was under. She has been dating actor Louis Hsiao for 15 years, but they are still not married because of her experience looking after her father. “It would be tough for Louis to have to take care of someone with this condition,” she said.

The deep waters off the coast of California are home to a bizarre creature: the flapjack octopus. This creature, known for its pancake-like appearance, spreads itself thin on the seabed as a clever survival strategy, making it difficult for predators to spot and capture it. With its unique, umbrella-shaped body formed by webbed arms, the flapjack octopus moves through the water in a graceful manner. It propels itself forward by rhythmically moving its body and contracting its webbed arms. Its pair of ear-like fins, which move independently yet with remarkable coordination, also help it explore the deep-sea environment. These
Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 I stand by the Miluo River as dusk falls. The court betrayal is too much. I served Chu with loyalty. I forged alliances and fought corruption. But the whispers of jealous courtiers, the murmurs of treason, spoke louder. The king cast me out. The water looks calm. It promises peace. I step in. The river is cold against my legs. I hear shouts behind me — fishermen calling my name. I keep walking. The calls grow louder, but I do not turn around. The water rises to my chest. It pulls at me. I
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Many people may be familiar with flapjack octopuses thanks to Pearl, a charming character from the Pixar film Finding Nemo.

Their primary defense mechanism relies on their reddish coloration, which would be ineffective in the well-lit shallows. Pearl’s famous line, “You guys made me ink,” is another fictional detail that is not consistent with the observed actions of real flapjack octopuses. As common as it is in many other octopus
