Adidas China Holds A 'Pet Day' With Employees In Line With Their Exclusive Pet Collection Launch
Our furbabies are what some people might call a god-sent companion that is equally the perfect company and a whole lot of cuteness. Some pet parents go to lengths to shower their pets with the best the world has to offer, with high-class meals or designer brands.
The three-stripe brand has always been at the pinnacle of its marketing strategy, utilising anything and everything at its disposal. Yesterday (Sunday, 18th May 2025), Adidas launched its China-exclusive pet collection with its first ever 'Adidas Pet Day', where more than 50 employees attended with their furbabies at the Shanghai Rock Park Campground.
The event featured multiple activities, such as pet sports activities with an interactive open sports area decorated with mazes and a human-sized pickleball court. The highlight of the event featured the adorable fashion show, where their newly launched pet collection went on display with the help of some puppies. The collection features a line of premium pet bags, clothes, as well as collars designed in the sports Adidas fashion.
Wu Liang, Senior Director of Corporate Public Relations and Sustainability of Adidas China, comments, 'We have observed that in recent years, with the evolution of the lifestyle of the younger generation, more and more young employees have pets. By holding a Pet Day, we hope to create an exclusive 'clover time' for employees and pets, allowing people to share happiness with pets and shape a more dynamic corporate culture.'
The 'Adidas Pet Day' not only provides employees with a pet-loving social platform but also brings innovative solutions to the heightening interest of urban pet living, paired with the need for high-quality pet products. The exclusive Adidas Pet Collection will be available only at the Shanghai Anfu Road Adidas Flagship store on 20th May 2025.

Dragon Boat dumplings: An ode to Cantonese ‘zung'
COMMENTARY, May 31 — Today is the Dragon Boat Festival or Duen Ng Jit (or Double Fifth Festival in Cantonese). The fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, when we commemorate how the ancients threw dumplings into a river where a beloved poet had drowned himself to prevent the fish from eating his corpse. Which sounds a bit macabre but what we are most mindful of today aren't dragon boat races or long-lamented poets but the delicious dumplings. This is my ode to the Dragon Boat dumplings, specifically my favourite Cantonese zung. The most common triangular or pyramid shaped 'zung'. — Picture by CK Lim Let us begin with its iconic shape (and the appetite-whetting thrill we get when we recognise it, even from a distance.) The most common zung you'd see is likely to be triangular or pyramid shaped. A tetrahedron, really. There are, of course, variations. The Northern Chinese zung is shaped like a log. In Japan, their version of zung, called chimaki, is sweet and has a long conical shape, typically eaten on Children's Day. A Northern Chinese 'zung' is shaped like a log. — Picture by CK Lim Those who grew up Malaccan, as I did, care less about the shape and more about the colour of the zung. Our Nyonya version is partially dyed blue thanks to the use of blue pea flower; the filling is simpler too — a sweet blend of minced pork and candied winter melon. But there's nothing quite like the stuffing of a formidable Cantonese zung. Full of goodness within, from shiitake mushrooms and mung beans to marinated pork belly and tender chestnuts. A bit of decadence when you add Chinese sausages and salted egg yolks. Plenty of aged umami from dried shrimp and dried scallops. Don't forget the sugar, salt and Chinese five spice. The secret ingredient, I've been told, is some chicken bouillon powder (the same secret ingredient to a fantastic fried rice, come to think of it). It's like the greatest hits from a well-stocked Cantonese pantry. Full of goodness within, from mushrooms to chestnuts. — Picture by CK Lim This might sound blasphemous to some but consider pairing your favourite savoury zung with some chilli oil. Really, don't knock it till you've tried it. Some folks like to dip their zung into a saucer of granulated sugar; me, I prefer some fragrant laat ziu yau. My favourite chilli oil is laden with fermented soybeans for an extra umami kick. Experiment with different types of chilli oil — anything from chilli crisps with fried garlic flakes to a hot honey chilli crunch. Honestly, it doesn't taste as spicy as you might fear (not when you have grown up eating cili padi!). The spice doesn't threaten unbearable heat; instead it deepens the savouriness of the zung. Your taste buds will thank me, as will you. Pair your favourite savoury 'zung' with some chilli oil. — Picture by CK Lim Of course, if you truly crave something fiery, you can always spice things up with some Sichuan mala powder. The mixture of Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, salt and a good dose of aromatic spices such as cardamom, cumin, cloves and star anise will electrify your palate. Not too much, but just enough to make you appreciate a soothing slice of shiitake mushroom or a fatty morsel of pork belly. You might be delusional from the numbing spices but you swear these gelatinous textures help to cool your tongue, now on fire. Spice things up with some Sichuan 'mala' powder. — Picture by CK Lim At the end of the day though, I'm happy to enjoy my zung as is. Slowly peeling the greasy bamboo leaves away to reveal the glutinous pyramid within. Slicing the now naked dumpling to unearth its treasures. Which should I taste first? The collagen-rich pork belly? The sweet chestnut? The seductive salted egg yolk? Perhaps start simply, with a few grains of the sticky rice, as well seasoned as a good life.

The Baroque elegance of Monaco's Palace Square and the intricate fusion of East and West in Macao's Ruins of St. Paul's merged in a mesmerizing interplay of light and concert's program was a masterpiece from Europe and beyond: the China premier of Gordon Jacob's "Horn Concerto" showcased Andrea Cesari's virtuosity, blending the boldness of brass with the delicate whispers of strings beneath the Galaxy Auditorium's soaring ceiling.
