The training regimen was physically demanding, requiring long hours of grueling practice and challenging her limited athletic abilities. Given her petite stature and lack of strength, Coco found herself struggling with even the most basic kung fu movements, having to put in far more effort than her peers.

Cath Wong has a unique philosophy, which she calls "Wong's Philosophy": Be willing to endure hardships; don’t focus solely on immediate gains. Be kind; others' attitudes should not influence your principles. Recognize and praise yourself; after all, surviving is already an incredible feat. "I’m quite stubborn. What might seem like trivial principles to others are philosophies I will adhere to for life," Cath asserts. In line with this, she recently released a new song, 《黃言》, a self-praising anthem. During our interview, I asked her to list three things she deserves praise for. After some thought, she said, "I think I sing quite well, I cook decently, and I write songs pretty nicely." Her tone carried a hint of uncertainty, and she sounded slightly reserved. "In the past, ...

That Year, She Became a Wanderer of the Earth “In a single, exhaustive day, I became a global nomad.” On September 11, 2022, a young woman commenced her worldwide adventure, sharing the beginning of her journey on Instagram from her first stop, London.

However, it’s crucial to distinguish Rosa from her on-screen persona, for in real life, she embodies the very essence of maternal love.  The Right to Cry as a Mother Having been with her husband since 2001 and married after a 13-year courtship, they welcomed their daughter Mia seven years later.
