After dating for over nine years, Chinese Internet celebrity Grace Chow confirmed last week that she had broken up with Taiwanese pop superstar Show Lo. Chow shocked fans by writing a post on Weibo, accusing Lo of cheating on her with multiple women and even having orgies.
Chow disclosed that as she scrolled through Lo’s cellphone, she found out he has another phone that he used to cheat on her with others — including “Butterfly Sister” Linda Chien in his management agency and his makeup artist. “And even worse, you guys would often have ‘group activities’ that normal people can hardly imagine,” she also accused.
Although Lo issued an apology twice the next day, netizens have been pressuring three Chinese reality shows to replace him as a co-host. Produce Camp 2020, one of the three reality shows, has already removed Lo’s profile from its official Web site. The Liberty Times reported that he could suffer financial losses of about NT$360 million (US$12 million) from this ugly breakup.

在愛情長跑九年多後，中國網紅周揚青上週證實，和台灣天王羅志祥（小豬）分手了。周在微博貼文，指控羅劈腿多名女性，甚至還進行雜交派對，讓不少粉絲大感震驚！
周揚青透露在瀏覽小豬手機時，發現他有另一支手機，用來和其他女性偷情——包括經紀公司旗下的女藝人「蝴蝶姐姐」簡愷樂，和他的化妝師。她還特別指控︰「更過分的是，你們還會經常舉行正常人都無法想像的『多人運動』。」
雖然小豬隔天就兩度為此道歉，網友仍施壓他所共同主持的三個中國實境秀，要求快撤換他，其中《創造營2020》已將他的個人資料從官網移除。根據《自由時報》的報導，兩人如此難堪的分手，可能會造成小豬約三‧六億台幣（一千兩百萬美元〉財務損失。

Most years, Taiwan is hit by typhoons during the summer and fall, but we have yet to see a typhoon this year. This unusual situation has put pressure on water supply levels in reservoirs around Taiwan. Due to global warming, the typhoons generated in the Pacific Ocean this year have all moved northward, bypassing Taiwan. Although successive fronts and afternoon showers have brought rainfall, it was only fragmented, covering limited areas and did little to replenish reservoirs. As a result, the reservoir storage this year is lower than in previous years. According to the Water Resource Agency, as of 2pm yesterday,
Since its premiere on Oct. 2, US comedy series Emily in Paris has caused a sensation across the world. The Web TV series, starring actress Lily Collins, tells the story of Emily, a young woman who moves from Chicago to Paris for a job, as she struggles both at work and in love while experiencing culture shock. The show has topped streaming giant Netflix’s global chart and is the most-watched show in Taiwan. But the American perspective of the lead character has offended some French critics, who say that the “City of Lights” is not just about berets, croissants and cafes,
This isn’t going to be an easy climb (2/5) 這趟路並不輕鬆（二） A: That was nice of that guy to help you up the slope, extending his hand and pulling you up. B: It was. I’m glad someone put that knotted rope there, but I would still have found it challenging pulling myself up that rock. A: I know. It’s a steep slope, the ground is slippery underfoot and there are hardly any footholds to help you. B: Perhaps we shouldn’t have come up this way so soon after the rains. It’s quite dangerous. A: 那個人真好，你爬上坡的時候還助你一臂之力 ，拉你一把。 B: 沒錯。幸好有人把打結的繩子綁在上面，可是我還是覺得爬上那塊岩石很難。 A: 我知道你的意思。這坡很陡，地又滑，腳下幾乎沒有著力點。 B: 我們或許不應該在下過雨之後這麼快就爬上來這裡。這還蠻危險的。 （Paul Cooper, Taipei Times／台北時報林俐凱譯） English 英文: Chinese 中文:
In the remote Shibi Village in Changhua County’s Puyan Township, one quarter of the population is aged above 65 years old. With young villagers having moved out of the village, it has been left without a single hairdresser. This has meant that, to get their hair cut, villagers have to make a troublesome 5km trip to a downtown area. To solve the problem, Puyan Township Mayor Hsu Wen-ping partnered with volunteer hairstylists from And Hair Salon and on Monday held a free hair cut service at the village’s town hall. Nearly 100 of the village’s elderly residents took up the
