Last Wednesday was the sixth anniversary of the death of pop diva Fong Fei-fei, who was also known as the “Queen of Hats” for her signature headgear onstage. To realize Fong’s dying wish to do good works and help those in need, her family members announced during a news conference their intention to use NT$30 million (about US$1 million) from her inheritance to establish the Fong Fei-fei Charity Foundation.
The news conference was hosted by entertainer Mickey Huang and singer Kay Huang, who both donated their pay for hosting the event to the foundation. As a “Fong fan” since childhood, Kay Huang said she was greatly encouraged when seeing Fong on TV for the first time, and praised her idol for having so much belief in herself.
Fong’s only son Zhao Wen Lin is serving as chairman of the foundation. Fong died of lung cancer in Hong Kong in 2012 at the age of 58. Her remains are stored at the Fo Guang Shan Bao Ta Temple in Dasi District of Taoyuan.

Many of us face common health challenges: tired eyes from long screen use, the search for anti-aging support and the need for weight control without resorting to restrictive diets. While no single food is a miracle cure, berries offer targeted, evidence-based nutritional support that’s easy and delicious to add to your daily routine. For overall immunity and healthy skin, vitamin C is essential. Strawberries provide roughly 10 percent more vitamin C than oranges, while blackcurrants deliver three to four times as much. These tasty fruits also contain abundant polyphenols, which help the body manage oxidative stress, support overall
Concertgoers know the rush all too well — the moment the first notes play, your heart races, and nothing else seems to matter. For many, the excitement doesn’t end when the lights come back on. Some fans try to relive the performance by listening to the same songs for days afterward. __1__ A few days after an amazing show, they begin to feel unexpectedly low. Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels. When you’re at a concert, the excitement causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals like
A new study suggests that chimpanzees can weigh evidence and make rational judgments. In the experiment, researchers placed two boxes in front of the chimpanzees. One box was set up to give strong evidence, such as letting the chimpanzees actually see food inside. The other was designed to provide weak evidence, like producing a rattling sound when it was shaken. The chimps consistently chose the box with strong evidence, even when the weaker clue appeared first. This indicated that they were not fooled by the order of presentation. In another trial where no strong evidence was available, the chimps
Handing down a name over generations is a central part of the Japanese traditional theater art of Kabuki, and that ceremony gets celebrated at theaters and special events every few years. Now, the ritual is taking place with the eighth Kikugoro, who is having that honor passed down from his 83-year-old father, the seventh Kikugoro, who in turn got that name from his father. “Taking on the name is about taking on the spirit and responsibility that’s created and getting passed down over generations by those who came before us,” the younger Kikugoro, Kazuyasu Terajima, told reporters recently.
