‘More important than life': cancer-stricken China dancer keeps performing in major shows
A famous dancer in China who was diagnosed with breast cancer and endured dozens of rounds of medical treatment last year still devotes herself to dancing. Advertisement Zhu Jiejing, a 39-year-old principal dancer with the Shanghai Dance Theatre Company, says dancing is more important to her than life itself. Zhu shot to fame with her lead roles in prominent dances at the state media CCTV's Spring Festival Gala Show four times in the past five years. The show is the most watched TV programme in China. She was absent from the stage for almost a year in 2024 after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Zhu Jiejing shot to fame with her regular appearances on the most watched television show in China.

Influencers, rappers, YouTubers and fans: AC Milan and Liverpool's modern media
The days of football clubs travelling abroad accompanied only by a familiar press pack have been consigned to history. Advertisement And it is not just the extra TV cameras, pundits, worldwide media and club legends – a term liberally applied in some cases – that jump on the travelling bandwagon. No, space these days is found for YouTubers, fan channels, bloggers and, in the case of AC Milan, a Chinese rapper. Simba Siiviba, who boasts almost 800,000 followers on mainland social media platform Weibo, routinely incorporates AC Milan into his lyrics. One of his songs, El Capitano, was written in tribute to ex-Milan skipper Massimo Ambrosini. 'I put so many AC Milan posts on Weibo and TikTok,' Simba told the Post.

It's my goal to have AC Milan as a big part of my identity, and my performances.'

Edward Cheang's top pick: Pacific Rim
Do you have a book, movie or show recommendation? Send us your top picks using this form . I recommend the film Pacific Rim. It is exciting and full of adventure. Watch this movie and discover a battle between kaiju (giant monsters) and robots. Released in 2013, Pacific Rim is a film about kaiju coming to Earth. You will witness man-made robots, as big as the kaiju, fighting using different weapons to defend Earth. I highly recommend this movie to people who enjoy watching fights, action and monsters because it keeps the viewer hooked. Pacific Rim has a sequel called Pacific Rim: Uprising. This second movie also has a wonderful storyline. The film franchise also has an animated television series which creates a richer and deeper story for fans. My favourite robot fighter – which are called Jaegers in the film – is Striker Eureka. This Jaeger is powerful and has a lot of weapons that can be used to kill a kaiju. Striker Eureka also has six barrels that store anti-kaiju missiles. It also has two blades on each hand. The robot is very fast and strong. Even if you watch it today, Pacific Rim remains a great film. You can watch it in Hong Kong on Netflix and HBO Max.
