A new hi-tech bra insert may alert at-risk women to changes in their breasts, giving them an early warning to see a doctor. Research has shown that dense breasted women can be six times more likely to develop breast cancer. Sixty per cent of younger women and 40 per cent of older women who have gone... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/article/2180728/hi-tech-itbra-breakthrough-asian-women-high-risk-breast?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/article/2180728/hi-tech-itbra-breakthrough-asian-women-high-risk-breast?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 05 Jan 2019 01:18:55 +0000 Taiwanese director Gavin Lin’s More Than Blue is a remake of a South Korean hit of the same name released in 2009. In this tear-jerker, Jasper Liu plays K, a terminally ill musician, and Ivy Chen is Cream, his childhood friend and a lyricist. The plot appears to be a bit trite but the film has been popular nonetheless due to its inspiring, touching details and its cast. Jasper Liu Yi-hao Liu is a Taiwanese actor, model and musician who was born in 1986.

In 2011, for instance, the Hong Kong government handed out a HK$6,000 (US$766) tax rebate to all permanent residents aged 18 or over; and, more recently, at least HK$6,000 was tossed from a building in Sham Shui Po in what is believed to be a publicity stunt by a 24-year-old cryptocurrency promoter known as “Coin Young Master”. Fast cars, a mansion, cash from the sky: who is ‘Coin Young Master’?

Due mostly to long-standing political tension between China and Japan, none of Miyazaki’s works had been screened in the country before. Chinese release of Japan anime classic is box office hit – 30 years on Rampant video piracy, however, means that many Chinese people are already familiar... https://www.scmp.com/culture/film-tv/article/2178326/five-studio-ghibli-films-due-china-release-after-my-neighbour-totoro?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/culture/film-tv/article/2178326/five-studio-ghibli-films-due-china-release-after-my-neighbour-totoro?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 17 Dec 2018 09:03:19 +0000 Remember the days when movie stars looked the same in photos as they did in person? This week old images of screen idols Joey Wong Cho-yee and Chow Yun-fat from the 1980s surfaced (and went viral) on Chinese social media that show how great the actors looked in their youth without heavy airbrushing or Photoshop.

A trivial question perhaps, but it is nonetheless one of the hottest topics being debated on popular Chinese social media platform Weibo right now. Some argue that since cosmetics are expensive in China, girls should not let them go unused, while others think they should only make the effort for guys who have the potential of being The One.

For one thing, turkeys are native to the Americas, and it isn’t quite Thanksgiving without a big dry bird swimming in gravy. Also, the rather bloody history of colonialism and war surrounding the event isn’t particularly appealing outside the United States.
