'Singapore was the first stop of my summer vacation,' Zhang wrote in Chinese on behalf of her daugher. 'I've become obsessed with The Little Mermaid lately, so my dad booked a hotel where I could watch the fish from my room, and my mum bought me a mermaid costume, making my little wish come true.'

According to Zhang, Sydney, Australia, is the second stop of the family's summer vacation.

Saving the Teochew legacy
Cultural pride: The Teochew Puppet and Opera House preserves the traditional art of iron-rod puppetry and Chinese opera performances. GEORGE TOWN: The Teochew language and culture have persevered despite demographic shifts affecting the community. Although few people still speak the Teochew dialect, the Teochew Puppet and Opera House (TPOH) remains one of Malaysia's last bastions, preserving the traditional art of iron-rod puppetry and Chinese opera performances. Penang Heritage Trust (PHT) president Clement Liang lauded the effort of Ling Goh, who is TPOH's troupe leader. 'Despite the threat of cultural erosion, the language and culture have shown signs of revival. 'There are attempts to cultivate interest in the Teochew language and culture in Penang. 'Ling Goh's exemplary leadership has been one of the reasons it could survive until today,' he said. Last year, the TPOH, which includes an academy, reopened its doors, nearly four years after the Covid-19 pandemic movement restrictions. It also celebrated its 10th anniversary. Established in 2014, TPOH, located in Armenian Street, houses exhibits such as musical instruments, costumes and scripts used in traditional Teochew performances. Sweet treats: Locals and tourists queuing up for the Teochew cendol and ais kacang at Penang Road. — CHAN BOON KAI/The Star Following renovations, items used in Teochew opera and puppetry were moved to the TPOH museum gallery in the same building. The 10th anniversary also marked the inauguration of the Malaysia Teochew Performing Arts Heritage Centre. Those visiting TPOH can experience interactive elements such as iron rod puppets and costume fittings, which were introduced to create a more engaging exhibition experience. A traditional Teochew-type stage has also been moved inside the performance house for visitors to appreciate the charm of an opera set. The PHT, said Liang, actively supports the preservation and promotion of Teochew culture and traditions. 'PHT promotes Teochew cultural activities in Penang and one of our Living Heritage Treasure Award recipients is the well-known Teochew puppeteer Toh Ai Hwa, who is also Goh's mother,' he said. Liang said traces of Teochew influence continue to thrive in everyday life and efforts are ongoing to ensure their legacy is not forgotten. 'Penang's famous char koay teow is undoubtedly Teochew, influenced by the use of light soy sauce. 'The Teochews also make one of the best cendol desserts in the country, as seen in the daily long queues along Penang Road. 'Among Penang's architectural gems reflecting Teochew heritage is the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple in Chulia Street. 'The main guardian deity worshipped by the Teochews is Lord Xuan Tian and he sits at the main altar of the Han Jiang temple. 'The temple is built in traditional Teochew architectural style with no side windows, said to prevent fortune from leaking out, according to feng shui legends,' he added. The Han Jiang Ancestral Temple not only stands as a symbol of Teochew cultural legacy, but also serves as the headquarters of the Penang Teochew Association. Its history dates back to 1855 when the Teochew Kongsi was established by six Teochew immigrants along Beach Street who laid the foundation for what would later become the Penang Teochew Association. By 1867, the group successfully raised funds to acquire a plot of land in Chulia Street, where the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple, completed in 1870, now stands. An ornate gate building was later added in 1890. Liang also acknowledged the challenges faced by younger generations in maintaining their linguistic and cultural heritage. 'Due to the enforcement of a Mandarin-only education system in all Chinese schools in Malaysia and Singapore, many younger Teochews have lost the ability to converse in their mother tongue. 'The lack of media exposure has further reduced daily use of the Teochew dialect, which is now mostly confined at home with the elderly,' he said.

#SHOWBIZ: Husband of late actress Barbie Hsu said to visit her grave daily
TAIPEI: Nearly six months have passed since the untimely death of beloved Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, yet her husband, South Korean musician Koo Jun-yup, famously known as DJ Koo, continues to mourn her deeply. Hsu, aged 48, passed away on Feb 2 in Japan due to complications from influenza, leaving a profound void in the lives of her loved ones. Since her passing, the 55-year-old DJ Koo has reportedly been a constant presence at her graveside in Chin Pao San Cemetery in Taipei. Rain or shine, he can often be found sitting silently for hours, a poignant testament to his enduring grief. A recent encounter at the cemetery underscored the depth of his devotion. On July 27, a netizen who had given a lift to a fan wishing to lay flowers at Hsu's grave spotted DJ Koo seated on a foldable chair amidst the tranquil surroundings. When approached, he offered a quiet smile and thanked them for visiting his late wife. The netizen, visibly moved by the encounter, later shared their feelings online: "He's the most devoted man I've ever seen. I hope he finds the strength to carry on. I felt sad seeing him like that. I can't imagine the pain of losing a loved one so suddenly." The post quickly went viral, eliciting an outpouring of sympathy and admiration from online users touched by DJ Koo's unwavering dedication. Comments flooded in, with one user saying, "When you find true love after a toxic marriage, you don't fear getting cheated on. You fear death." Another added, "He's clearly dedicated to her memory, and it's beautiful to see him honouring her this way." Barbie Hsu and DJ Koo's love story, spanning decades, is one of rekindled romance. They initially dated in 1998 but parted ways a year later. Their paths reconnected after Hsu's divorce from Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei in November 2021, leading to their marriage on Feb 8, 2022.
