Will you click on this story? Do Hong Kong tarot readers hold the answer?
Amid the hustle and bustle of a prime Hong Kong shopping district, there is a small alley where Ceci Yeung sits and quietly shuffles her deck of tarot cards, offering answers to questions both great and small to anyone who walks past her booth.
For two days a week, Yeung performs tarot readings at the Window and Alley, a 46 sq ft space in Causeway Bay that is commonly used for community events and as a spot for local vendors to sell artwork and other goods.
Among her clientele, many of whom are in their twenties and thirties, relationship questions are always the most popular.
But this year has seen a growing number of people seeking answers to existential dilemmas, she said.
'In an earlier stage of my career, romance was the most-asked question, like whether they should get back together, or questions about cheating,' Yeung said.
'But this year, people feel more helpless than usual because of huge societal changes. They feel insecure about their current situation. Maybe they feel they might become redundant at work or are replaceable by artificial intelligence.

A psychologist explains why your brain gives you a gut feeling – and if you can trust it
Have you ever met someone and felt an instant connection? How about immediate dislike? Some of us might think this feeling has something to do with fate or destiny. But psychologist Andrew Stock has a more scientific explanation. That gut feeling means our brain is working efficiently. It can be described by a concept called cognitive efficiency, which refers to using the least amount of energy to perform a task well. Stock is the president of the Psychotherapy Society of Hong Kong and a founding partner at Therapy Partners. The psychologist explained that our brains learn to save energy and time by making quick decisions and judgments, often without us even realising it. He called it a 'short cut'. Scientists explain how volcanic ash turned a human brain into glass Why does the brain create short cuts? The brain constantly processes enormous amounts of information. It needs to use this information to make instant decisions. To handle this massive workload, the brain has trained itself to be as productive as possible. Instead of analysing every detail in a situation, our minds use short cuts to help us focus on the most important details, Stock explained. These short cuts help us quickly respond to new situations based on our previous experience. 'For example, when I see a dog barking loudly, I instantly step back, assuming it could be dangerous. Figuring out if it's friendly or not potentially comes later,' he said. Our brains are constantly processing information as quickly as possible. Photo: Shutterstock We even make snap judgments about people based on a small amount of information – like how they may look, speak or act when we first meet them. This can cause us to treat others differently, and we might not even realise it. For example, we might be friendlier to someone who dresses the same way we do while avoiding someone who seems different. 'When you get a gut feeling about a stranger, pause and consider the actual facts you have about them,' the psychologist said. Compare those facts with any assumptions you might have made before you come to a conclusion, he said. How can Hong Kong teens stress less and what apps are available? Avoiding false judgments You can try talking to friends or family to get different points of view. We can also practise empathy by imagining ourselves in someone else's shoes. Think about the other person's feelings, their situation or the reasons behind their actions. 'Perhaps some of your peers can't buy the newest Labubu charm because their parents earn less, but it's important to remember that their worth and coolness aren't defined by what they own,' Stock said. He also suggested making an effort to talk to people who come from different backgrounds to learn more before forming an opinion. Ask open-ended questions and encourage the other person to share more about themselves. Listen carefully and pay attention to things that do not match your first impression. Sometimes your brain might jump to a conclusion that isn't always accurate. Photo: Shutterstock It is also helpful to reflect on times when your gut feeling was wrong. This helps you realise that your instincts are not always accurate. 'Remember, your brain's short cuts are there to help, but they're not always right,' Stock said. 'Taking a little extra time to get to know someone can help you see them more clearly and can lead to better friendships, less conflict and a more open-minded view of the world.'

Fierce China job market turns unemployed youths into ‘full-time grandkids'
As China's job market continues to struggle, a new trend in which young people become 'full-time grandchildren' by returning home to care for their elderly grandparents has gone viral. The trend addresses their own employment problems and the growing need for companionship among the elderly. Such so-called full-time grandchildren provide companionship, emotional support and daily help to elderly or disabled family members. Compared to 'full-time children,' who primarily accompany able-bodied parents, 'full-time grandchildren' are often seen as more filial. So-called full-time grandchildren can turn an elderly relative's day into a fun experience. Photo: Shutterstock One such 26-year-old who was unable to find work after failing her postgraduate and civil service exams accepted her grandfather's invitation to return home.
