Taiwanese singer Ed Wang first put his name on the music map with his outstanding performances on the singing competition TV series “Sing! China” in 2017, and his stirring vocals were greatly praised by pop diva Na Ying and other judges in the music show. After a wait of three years, the singer finally released his first EP last month.
Wang’s new EP encompasses different genres ranging from rock to R&B, jazz, Latin and rap. Growing up in a music-loving family — his father loves Chinese opera and his mother is a fan of Western music — Wang says that his music style is a mixture of East and West. Inspired by his idol David Tao, Wang’s use of melisma has become a characteristic feature in his songs.
Wang has also released a photo book, titled “Wedding Night,” in which he shows of his physique. The 26-year-old singer hopes to, through the best-selling book, record his youth and share it with his fans.

台灣歌手王振諾於二○一七年,首次在歌壇嶄露頭角,參加熱門歌唱比賽節目《中國新歌聲》表現出色,深情嗓音贏得歌后那英和其他導師高度讚賞。在三年多的等待之後,他終於在上個月推出了首張迷你專輯!
這張迷你專輯融合了不同曲風,包括搖滾、節奏藍調、爵士、拉丁、甚至饒舌。他透露,由於爸爸喜愛聽京劇,媽媽喜愛聽西洋歌曲,從小在熱愛音樂的家庭裡長大,造就了他中西合璧的音樂風格。而受到偶像陶喆啟發,王振諾歌曲中的「轉音」亦成為迷人的個人特色。
他同時還推出《洞房花燭夜:王振諾寫真》,大秀性感身材。這位二十六歲歌手說,希望透過這本暢銷書,自己能為青春做個紀錄並和粉絲分享。

South Korea’s famous kimchi is falling victim to climate change, with scientists, farmers and manufacturers saying the quality and quantity of the napa cabbage that is pickled to make the ubiquitous dish is suffering due to rising temperatures. Napa cabbage thrives in cooler climates, and is usually planted in mountainous regions where temperatures during the key growing summer season once rarely rose above 25 degrees Celsius. Studies show that warmer weather brought about by climate change is now threatening these crops, so much so that South Korea might not be able to grow napa cabbage one day due to the intensifying heat. “We
It’s widely recognized that there are far more right-handed people than left-handed people in the world. Being right-handed simply means preferring to use one’s right hand for tasks that involve only one hand, such as writing and eating. But have you ever wondered about the possible reasons behind the global dominance of the right hand over the left? As with many complex biological questions, multiple factors appear to be at play. First, one reason seems to be genetics. __1__ Therefore, the global dominance of right-handedness is something that has been passed down through many generations of humans. Next,
On blazing hot summer days, fresh ingredients and cool refreshments straight from a refrigerator feel like nothing short of a miracle. However, chilled foods didn’t begin with modern refrigerators. In fact, the origin of refrigeration precedes the invention of this now-indispensable appliance by centuries. Initially, the quest for refrigeration was motivated more by the desire to cool beverages than to preserve food. The ancient Greeks and Romans, for instance, used snow stored in insulated pits to chill wine. Around the fourth century BC, the Persians made a significant stride in refrigeration techniques when they devised the yakhchal. Fashioned from

Historically, items that require physical manipulation have been designed for right-handed use. For example, tools like scissors and musical instruments are often constructed with right-handers in mind, making it difficult for left-handers to use them. __4__ While these factors offer some explanation, they remain speculative. The precise reasons for the global prevalence of right-handed people continue to be debated. Nevertheless, left-handedness will remain a phenomenon of great curiosity among scientists and researchers for many years to come. 最後,文化影響也在人們偏好哪一隻手上扮演一角。歷史上,需要用到肢體操作的物品都被設計來供右手使用。舉例來說,像是剪刀、樂器等工具常常就是考慮到右撇子而打造的,造成左撇子難以使用這些工具。因此,許多天生就是左撇子的人可能就必須透過學習使用右手來適應。 雖然這些因素都提供了一些解釋,但它們仍是推測而已。全球右撇子如此普及,確切的原因仍持續被爭論著。不過,在未來的許多年裡,左撇子依然會是科學家和研究人員相當好奇的一個現象。 What Did You Learn?
