'A lesson learnt': Singaporean woman fractures rib while attempting viral Chongqing motorcycle trend, Singapore News
It sounds romantic — a rendezvous with a handsome man on a motorcycle, with the splendour of Chongqing's night skyline in the background. For Instagram user May Chang, that may have been the case — until she realised that she had fractured a rib while attempting to emulate the viral Chongqing motorcycle trend, according to a video she shared on the platform last Wednesday (July 9). The trend, popularised by Chinese influencers, sees the subject of the video standing by a roadside in Chongqing before a man with a motorcycle helmet dashes by, hugs him or her by their midriff and lift them off their feet. They then ride a motorcycle down the street with Chongqing's Raffles City complex illuminating the night sky in the background and Silence Wang's Love Love playing. But for Chang, it turned out to be a disastrous outing, a far cry from what she was looking forward to. The hug left her with injuries to her seventh, eighth and ninth anterior rib, with a fracture on the eighth rib, she revealed. "I was at the motorcycle trend's filming site just yesterday," the Singaporean said. "Today, I'm here at Raffles Hospital for a CT scan." She explained that the hug that she received from the 'young actor' was the reason for the injuries as they had not discussed how she was supposed to stand and receive the hug. She also added that filming the video requires a high level of caution, as there was no medical insurance when she made the attempt. "This is a lesson learnt from this incident," she said, adding that she spent about 900 yuan (S$160) on medical fees. At the time of filming the video, she said she was still feeling a little sore from her injuries. "Everyone, if you're thinking of coming to try this motorcycle (trend) out, please be careful," she stated. AsiaOne has contacted her for comment. [[nid:719979]] khooyihang@

'There's no one whose kin doesn't die': Jet Li reveals his thoughts on death, why he doesn't attend funerals, daughter being suicidal
Jet Li, who was frequently plagued by rumours of his own demise, got candid about death in an interview recently. In a video interview with Chinese magazine Sanlian Lifeweek published on July 10, the 62-year-old China-born action star, who has been Singaporean since 2009, was asked if he ever felt "sad and regretful" about the death of a friend or senior. He responded: "Why should we feel sad and regretful? I think this is something that only avatars in games would feel." Jet, a staunch Buddhist, added that a lot of times in dramas, characters would often express regret about not meeting someone for the last time or fulfilling their wishes before they died. "For people around me who have died, those who know me would know that I wouldn't attend their funeral. There are others who said that I am heartless and too unpretentious, and I would tell them there's no one whose kin doesn't die," he added. Jet also shared that his youngest daughter Jada, now 22, had suicidal thoughts when she was 19 years old, and when she stepped out of it, both of them sat down to talk about afterlife arrangements. He said: "We had an honest conversation, because [death] is inevitable. Why should we avoid it? We had a good conversation about it. "A lot of people live with regrets and a life where they are not honest in facing situations. Because we are born, we will inevitably die. But we often said that death is not auspicious and shouldn't be talked about." Jet believes that rather than agonising about death, people should live their life well. He added: "Knowing that I will die, should I still worry about it every day till the day it happened, or knowing that it would happen someday, I should treasure the way I live every day? I think living well every day is more important."
