Hacken Lee reduces work to accompany son overseas
The singer, who spoke to the media at a recent TVB charity event, shared that he and his wife will be flying off soon with eldest son, Ryan, as he has enrolled in the college of his choice.
"My wife and I will be accompanying our son there and we will only return to Hong Kong once he is settled," he said.
Asked if he is worried about Ryan having to live his own life thousands of miles away from home, he said, "I won't feel any reluctance. He is a boy after all."
Hacken said that his son is quite independent, which is a relief, though he still reminded Ryan to be extra cautious about certain things.
Asked if he is worried that Ryan will one day bring a foreign girlfriend home, Hacken smiled and said, "I can't control that anymore. He will have his own life in the future."

Watch these humanoid robots run, fight, dance and fall over at first ‘robot Olympics'
Hundreds of humanoid robots have been brought together in Beijing, China, for the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games. The three-day event kicked off on Friday and involves more than 500 humanoid robots organized into 280 teams. Participants include robot manufacturers, universities, and research institutions from 16 countries, including China and the U.S. The first-ever World Humanoid Robot Games comprises 26 events across three categories: Athletics, performance, and scenario-based challenges. The athletic contests are based on human sports, including running races of 400 meters and 1500 meters, long jump, high jump, gymnastics, and soccer games. The performance category, meanwhile, features solo and group dances, martial arts, and musical instrument demonstrations. Finally, scenario-based challenges simulate real-world tasks such as sorting medicines, handling industrial materials, and conducting hospitality concierge services. A video (top) features some of the robots in action on the first day. A running contest, for example, shows several of the bipedal-bots racing along a track at impressive speed, although one of the competitors clearly has trouble sticking to its lane. The footage also shows a robot playing the piano, while another shows off its drumming skills. Next up is what appears to be some kind of futuristic fashion show, with a number of robots dressed up in outlandish garb while strutting their stuff on a catwalk (of sorts). It's during the fashion show that we see the first casualty of the Games — a robot collapsed in a heap that has to carried off by humans (couldn't they get a robot to do it?). We also glimpse what looks like a group of around 25 marching robots that may or may not be in training for the uprising. Let's hope it's the latter. Robot soccer games are always good entertainment, though judging by the abysmal performance of a couple of players in the video, it's going to be a long time before they mount a serious challenge to their human counterparts. Soccer fails aside, technology in the humanoid robots sector has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years, and while the Beijing event is sure to provide plenty of entertainment over the coming days, it also offers robotics experts a rare global platform to showcase their latest innovations.

Long ago, in the kingdom of Mathura, a cruel king named Kansa (the maternal uncle of Lord Krishna) ruled with terror and showed no mercy. When a prophecy declared that Devaki's (birth mother of Lord Krishna) eighth son would be his destroyer, he turned into a demon in disguise. On the very day of Devaki's wedding, Kansa dragged her chariot, sword in hand, ready to kill his own sister. But Vasudeva, her husband, pleaded with him and promised to hand over every child they had. Kansa agreed, but broke every rule of humanity. He imprisoned Devaki and Vasudeva.

A Museum That Gives Back: The Martial Arts History Museum's Commitment to Community
( NewMediaWire ) - August 14, 2025 - Glendale, CA — Museums serve as invaluable bridges between the past and the future, offering a window into history through artifacts, stories, and visual media. But one institution in Glendale, the Martial Arts History Museum, is distinguished by an extraordinary commitment that goes beyond its collections: a deep-seated devotion to humanity. This museum is not just a repository of historical artifacts; it is an active force for good in the community, hosting a variety of humanitarian programs. Founded in 1999 and relocated to Glendale in 2023, the museum's mission is rooted in the belief that while education and preserving artifacts are crucial, their humanitarian efforts truly set them apart. 'This is what it's about, the people we serve,' says museum president Michael Matsuda. 'We have been offering free tours and visits for the last 17 years, both at our previous Burbank facility and now in Glendale. I feel we need to be a part of this community, be a part of this city by doing more. Oh, it's not a requirement, but I think it's necessary that we provide opportunities and perhaps we can help someone through this.' The museum frequently welcomes groups of all ages, including seniors with dementia and individuals facing mental health challenges. These visits are provided completely free of charge. Matsuda recalls a particularly moving moment with a 95-year-old visitor who saw a photo of his childhood teacher on the wall. 'Something clicked, and he was talking about his experience the whole time. Now, that was exciting,' Matsuda explains. 'If we can provide a spark, we did something special.' While their passion lies in the history, art, and culture of martial arts—making them the only institution in the world dedicated to such a rich history of martial arts and Asian culture—the museum is equally dedicated to making learning accessible and engaging for everyone. 'We help kids learn about art, music, culture, and more, not just the punch and kick,' says Matsuda, a former Disney artist. 'We provide education but we make it fun and interesting. We design this place for both little kids and adults to learn and enjoy.' The museum fully absorbs the costs of these impactful visits. To continue their mission of making a difference in the fight against dementia and mental health challenges, they have established a GoFundMe page. The museum encourages the community to consider a contribution to support their ongoing efforts. Gofundme link: The museum is located at 201 N. Brand Blvd., B100, Glendale, CA. It is a registered non-profit 501c3 charity organization. Visit or email [email protected].
