Asia One

Chinese actress Vicky Zhao Wei has once again found herself embroiled in another controversy, this time, for withholding payment of her school fees for eight years.

This is alleged by some reporters in China, who found the Chinese star's name amongst a list of students who were found to have outstanding fees owed to the Beijing Film Academy.

According to the source, the amount owed came up to RMB25,000 (about S$5400) in total.

The actress, famous for her role as the ditzy but loveable "Little Swallow" on the highly-popular televsion serial "Princess Pearl", graduated from the Academy's Performance Institute in 2000.

In a notice released by the school on 31 Oct 2008, it said, "Since the start of term till now, there are still some students who have not paid their tuition and lodging fees. In the midst of the busy term, this is a reminder to all students who have yet to do so to please make payment soon."

Both on and off screen, Barbie Hsu (Da S) has "grown up" and matured in love. Her "road" to love in the movie 愛的發聲練習/My So-Called Love is bumpy; a few days ago, while giving an interview to a fashion magazine, she admitted frankly that, after experiencing two tumultuous love affairs-- one with Blue Lan ZhengLong, the other with Vic Chou YuMin (ZaiZai), she has come to a realization: "A man without a sense of responsibility... is definitely not a 'good man.'"

Barbie said that, although she is not the type to hold on to or pursue a commitment at all costs, she has now learned an important lesson: upon discovering or meeting a man who is indecisive or hesitant toward promises and commitment, she will walk away immediately.

Taiwanese-American singer-songwriter Wang Lee Hom on Saturday night powered up the Singapore Indoor Stadium as his alter-ego, the Music-Man.

Explaining that he loved comic book superheroes as a kid and have always wanted to be a cartoon hero himself, the theme allowed Lee Hom to indulge in a childhood fantasy while doing what he does best – music and wielding all sorts of instruments.

And the theme was woven into parts of the concert, with flashy giant comic-book illustrations of himself lighting up the screens and futuristic looking sets.

The concert kicked off on a high note with the superhero being lowered from the heavens on a flying disc, dressed in his superhero "uniform" of sleek white with black leather while blasting a track on his guitar from his upcoming album, "What's Wrong with Rock and Roll".

This was followed by fast crowd favourites W-H-Y, Flower Field Mistake and Heirs of Dragons - all slightly altered from their original versions with a splendid rock tinge.

“26 Years Diary”: Imagining Life Behind Heroic Act

No category 2008/11/07 16:56

In January 2001, a South Korean student named Lee Su-hyun was waiting for the subway in Tokyo when a Japanese man fell on the tracks. Lee and another Japanese man jumped onto the rails in an attempt to get him out of the way before an oncoming train reached the station. Sadly, they were unsuccessful and all three men were killed.

Lee’s death made headlines in both Korea and Japan, and the 26-year-old’s act of unselfishness struck a deep chord with people from both countries. His heroism resonated all the more given the long and bitter history between the two countries, and may have even made people in both nations reconsider their long-held prejudices and suspicions regarding their neighbors.

The Japanese film “26 Years Diary,” which was released in Japan last year and is currently showing in Korea, is a cinematic tribute to the late Korean student. Rather than focusing on the final spontaneous act of heroism, the film presents the young man’s life in Tokyo in the years prior to his death.
