I am on the right track, baby, I was born to be brave.  LADY GAGA How many rough and dark days have natural musicians gone through to become the music diva they are today? "I worked in a strip club when I was 18. I moved out of the house, unwilling to accept any help from my parents, and supported myself on server and striptease jobs. Gaga developed post-traumatic sequelae (PTSD) at an early age due to bullying and sexual assault by classmates. It is not easy to confess that it is not easy to disclose his black history, but after becoming famous, Gaga is committed to encouraging those who have low self-esteem because of defeat and failure, so he wrote the song Born this Way, the lyrics of which mention that we should bravely survive and cherish ourselves. No matter what n...

https://youtu.be/sDJl4cYGXa4 The older generation often said, "Having a big butt is great for giving birth." Nowadays, young girls say, "Having a big butt makes it difficult to take pictures." Modern young people are particularly concerned about their body shape and hope to be tall and slim like Korean girl group members. On the contrary, some people gain confidence from the saying "Having a big butt is great for giving birth" and embark on a journey of embracing their buttocks, forming a dance group called "Hong Kong Stocks" that specializes in twerking. The leader of this group is Kimberly. Before getting into twerking, Kim had been dancing hip-hop street dance called locking for many years. She was a cool and lively dancer with a mischievous style. About seven or eight years ag...

How did you first encounter Joey Wong? Was it as the enigmatic voice singing “Yes I belong to you” at the tender age of 20? Or as JW, the singer who sings 矛盾一生? Perhaps it was as a vocal instructor on “STARS Academy”? Or Cheuk Yan Yan in Fraudstars (2021)? As for the labels “idol”, “singer” and “actress”, which one do you believe best captures her essence? In her own words, she identifies as an entertainer. This term carries a certain neutrality and humility. “I love to sing. When I sing, my aim is to entertain my audience. When I act, my performance is a unique form of amusement for the public.” It was only three years ago when she enrolled in Kearen Pang's drama class that she unearthed her hidden talent for acting. “Singing is a rather solitary pursuit, but when I act, I c...

When it comes to creative work in Hong Kong, some people give up easily, while others soldier on despite the challenges. And then there are people like Shadow Chan, a Hong Kong-based illustrator who remains steadfast in her pursuit of new ideas and inspirations.

Even if only 1% of the world treats her as a fellow human being, and 99% fail to grasp her journey, she tenaciously battles on against the world. Her name is Allie, a renowned Taiwanese YouTuber, and few still refer to her by her birth name. With flowing, lustrous hair, radiant eyes, fair complexion, and an hourglass figure, she embodies the epitome of beauty. Yet, her past was a stark contrast. She used to be a “he”, and for many, she remains a “monster girl”, a term she uses to describe how others perceive her, all because she is a transgender individual who underwent gender reassignment surgery. The Right Soul in the Wrong Body “Why was I born male when I yearned to be female?” There was a time when Allie couldn't reconcile her male body with her identity as a woman; i...

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who was born into a family deeply entrenched in traditional gender biases. Her father's lineage hailed from the mainland, where the desire for a male heir was ingrained in Chinese family culture. During her formative years, she often heard relatives chastising her mother for not producing a son. They'd criticise her mother, saying, “What's the point of earning money if you can't bear a son?” “Why couldn't you have been a son?” Her mother's reproach was cutting. Right from birth, her worth seemed measured by her gender, relegating her to an inferior status. A simmering resentment grew within her. “Why should having a son automatically make someone better? Are boys inherently more capable? Can't I excel just as well as a boy?” Many things pe...
