Since its debut early last month, firefighter-themed drama “Tears on Fire” has caused close attention from TV audiences. After the finale aired on TV, the show about the lives of four brave firefighters has continued to dominate the top spots on video platforms, and production is being planned for a second season.
Starring Golden Horse-winning actors Austin Lin and Liu Kuan-ting, Golden Bell-winning actor James Wen and actress Annie Chen, the 10-episode series allows the audience a peek at the various challenges of this intense profession. Some viewers said that they have also learned many new terms from the show, such as “OHCA,” an acronym that means “Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.”
Meanwhile, martial arts drama “Word of Honor” has generated much talk in recent months. The drama tells the exciting adventures of a former government assassin and the Ghost Valley leader. With their “bromance” in the show, the popularity of two leading actors Simon Gong and Zhang Zhehan has surged in recent months.

An outbreak aboard a cruise ship of a rare rodent-borne illness called hantavirus has left three passengers dead and sickened others, but global health officials say the risk to the general public remains low because the germ does not easily spread between people. “This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the World Health Organization (WHO). “Most people will never be exposed to this.” The virus usually spreads when people inhale contaminated residue of rodent droppings. Hantaviruses have been around for centuries and are thought to
Have you ever wondered how people navigate the world when they can’t see a map? For individuals with visual impairments, conventional maps are nearly impossible to use. This is where tactile maps come in — essential tools that allow people to “see” the world through touch. A tactile map is specially designed with raised lines, textures, and symbols to represent geographical features such as roads, rivers, and buildings. Users explore it with their fingertips.
