Wang Xiaofei to proceed with May wedding reception
3 Apr - It looks like Wang Xiaofei will go ahead with his wedding reception this May as scheduled, despite many thinking that the unexpected passing of his ex-wife Barbie Hsu might postpone the original plan.
It was reported that Wang and new wife Mandy Ma will be holding their event on 17 May at a hotel in Beijing, and that many friends have already been sent the invitations, including Taiwanese TV personality, Jacky Wu.
Said Jacky, he has already received the invite, but is unsure whether he will be able to attend due to his hectic schedule.
Wang and Mandy announced their marriage in May last year, with the plan to hold their reception a year after the marriage registration. However, back in February, the businessman was hit with the tragic news of his ex-wife Barbie's passing.
As for the event itself, sources claimed that the couple will have a low-key reception that may have Wang and Barbie's two kids in attendance.

Taiwan's storied Palace Museum must expand its global horizons, president says
By Ben Blanchard TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan's National Palace Museum, home to one of the world's biggest collections of imperial Chinese treasures, must expand its horizons internationally to let the "world see Taiwan", President Lai Ching-te said on Friday as it marked its centenary. The museum was re-established in Taiwan in 1965 after the Republic of China government lost a civil war with Mao Zedong's communists and fled to the island in 1949, taking with them thousands of cases of antiques once owned by China's emperors, saving them from destruction during and after the revolution. While it is a top tourist attraction, the presence of so many Chinese artefacts has over the years caused discomfort to those Taiwanese who champion the island's separate and distinct identity from China. Speaking to inaugurate an exhibit of French impressionist and early modernist paintings from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lai said the National Palace Museum was a "state asset". "The National Palace Museum not only needs to deepen its roots locally, it also needs to deepen them internationally. We need to go into the world, to let the world see Taiwan, but also to bring the world to Taiwan," he said at the museum, located in Taipei's foothills. "The National Palace Museum is not only the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, but also the National Palace Museum of the world, and I believe these values should be strongly supported by the international community." A competing institution remains in Beijing, the similarly named Palace Museum, though the National Palace Museum is not planning any joint anniversary events with China. Quincy Houghton, the Met's Deputy Director for Exhibitions and International Initiatives, speaking at the event with Lai, praised the close relations between the museums, including in 1996 when the National Palace Museum sent some of its collection to the Met. "We are honoured to collaborate with the National Palace Museum on its very special centennial year," she said. Works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne are on show at the National Palace Museum until mid-October.

Goodnight Chicken shares life updates from behind bars
12 Jun - Chen Neng-chuan, better known by his online moniker Goodnight Chicken, recently shared his current condition via a letter as he celebrated his second birthday in a Cambodian prison. The Taiwanese content creator, who was sentenced to two years in prison back in February last year, recently wrote that he was safe, and went on to detail about his life in prison. Chen said that during this period, he worked hard to "reform himself" and met many inmates from different backgrounds. Whenever he was asked about his past work, Chen would humorously say that he was an internet celebrity who "breaks into uninhabited houses to livestream, take showers, and pick up red envelopes." He said that when someone asked whether being in a Cambodian jail is work too, he responded, "Of course. Others survived in the wilderness for three months, but I went straight to jail for two years." He also mentioned the harsh environment in Cambodian prisons, where the temperature was as high as 35 to 38 degrees Celsius, causing him to have rashes all over his body. As for his birthday, Chen said that it was as uneventful as usual, but one older inmate gave both him and his fellow inmate and content creator friend Anow a piece of bread each, which made him feel a small moment of happiness behind bars. It was back in February 2024 that Chen alleged that he and Anow were kidnapped while they were supposedly filming at Sihanoukville, an area infamous for being a scam centre. After they were caught to have duped thousands of fans, the Cambodian authorities charged them of "incitement to cause chaos to social security" and sentenced them to two years in prison. They are ordered to pay a combined fine of USD 2000, and are banned from entering the country again once they are released from prisonj. (Photo Source: CNA, eNanyang, China Times)
