An 11-year-old boy in central China, who skilfully braids his toddler sister's hair each day and has invented over 300 unique styles in just one year, has become a sensation on mainland social media.

The siblings, known by the surname Huang, live in Zhuzhou of Hunan province and have garnered significant attention online as their mother frequently shares their heartwarming interactions on a popular social media platform.
Most of these videos showcase the brother expertly braiding his three-year-old sister's hair, a task he claims to genuinely enjoy, as reported by Yantai TV.
Before each braiding session, the boy typically sprinkles a little water on his sister's hair using a watering pot, ensuring it is easier to weave. During the braiding process, he occasionally nips the comb with his mouth rather than placing it on the table, reminiscent of a seasoned hairdresser, as shown in the viral videos.
Before him lies a box filled with vibrant rubber bands and barrettes.

Hong Kong's 1980s nightlife culture makes dazzling return at site of old Club Bboss
More than a decade after Club Bboss was closed , a new nightspot has launched on the same site where the once-glamorous establishment operated for 28 years, with the goal of attracting tourists and young revellers eager for a glimpse of Hong Kong's 1980s clubbing heyday. Advertisement The new spot – known as Big Boss Generation (BBG) – opened for business on Saturday in the old club's 56,000 sq ft site at the New Mandarin Plaza in Tsim Sha Tsui East. It will use the former occupant's old Chinese name, which translates to Big Boss Club. 'Big Boss Club is not only a household name in Hong Kong, but a well-known global brand,' said BBG CEO Edward Li at the grand opening ceremony that was also attended by Japanese actress Sola Aoi . 'We want to continue to develop this home-grown Hong Kong intellectual property.' BBG, which raised over HK$100 million (US$12.7 million) from mainland Chinese and Hong Kong investors, planned to revive some well-known features of the old club, according to Li. One such feature shown at Saturday's opening was the signature golden Rolls-Royce-themed vintage car, which the old BBoss used to transport customers to their private booth. The new establishment also revived Bboss' famous large dance floor – roomy enough for 500 guests – as well as 50 private rooms, Li said, adding that the club's total capacity could accommodate 1,900 guests at the same time.

Why are mainland Chinese tourists posing in front of MTR stations in Hong Kong?
Surrounded by a stream of passengers on an MTR platform in Hong Kong on a regular weekday, a couple paused to pose for photos next to a station sign to mark their journey. 'We took photos at most of the metro stations we visited, just to record our metro route,' said Arale, a 36-year-old tourist who was visiting the city with his wife, Qing, 37, for the first time. Recording such a visual diary is part of a popular trend on Chinese social media in which people travel around Hong Kong to take photos on MTR platforms against the stations' colourful walls. Tourists often collect nine or more photos or videos of the station names, either of the signs themselves or with someone next to them, to share with others on RedNote, Douyin and WeChat Moments as collages or single posts. On RedNote alone, #HongKongMTR has gained about 110 million views, with one post published on May 31 attracting 25,300 interactions and 291,100 views, according to data analysis platform Newrank. The Post visited five MTR stations on a weekday this month – Choi Hung, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central – and found visitors photographing themselves with station names at every location.
