(Video) TVB True Crime Show Reignites Discussion About Bruce Lee's Sudden Death
It's been nearly 50 years since cinema and martial arts icon Bruce Lee (李小龙) passed away, leaving behind a legacy in film. However, his death is still shrouded in mystery, with the public still wondering why and how the legend died at such an early age. Earlier this week, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB premiered a new show titled 'Ctrl+F The Truth' that dives into several talked-about cases in the country's history. For its first case, the show discussed the mysterious death of Bruce Lee. The film icon died on 20th July 1973 at the young age of 32. There was no official cause of death, but it was concluded that Bruce Lee died from cerebral oedema. At the beginning of the episode, hosts Anthony Fong and Vinky Wong mentioned that there are many theories and suspicions about Bruce Lee's death. As part of their investigation, the program obtained court documents and testimonies about Bruce Lee's death from 14 people, including his wife Linda Lee and film producer Raymond Chow. Raymond was also the one who rushed the actor to the hospital, right before he was pronounced dead. After diving into the circumstances of Bruce Lee's death, the show summarised the sequence of Bruce Lee's death, revealing that he had already passed away while he was at the home of actress Betty Ting. The program also discussed the suspicion about how Raymond had concealed the actor's medical history when at the hospital. Months before his death, the star collapsed on set and had seizures, but this information wasn't disclosed to doctors. Renowned HK doctor Michael Mak, who was on duty at Queen Elizabeth Hospital during Bruce Lee's death, brought up three of his suspicions about the case. One of his suspicions was regarding Dr Eugene Chu, who tried to resuscitate Bruce Lee at Betty's home. He revealed that Dr Eugene had a lack of urgency about the actor's death, which was puzzling given the star's background and condition. While the show couldn't determine what exactly happened to Bruce Lee, it received praise for its detailed investigation and reporting. Meanwhile, fans continued to mourn the death of the icon and honour the impact he had in the film industry.

Bosco Wong Denies Romance With Mystery Woman At G-DRAGON's KL Concert
The recent G-DRAGON (지드래곤) concert saw a star-studded audience, including Hong Kong actor Bosco Wong (黄宗泽). However, netizens are more curious about the mystery woman he was with during the night. Last weekend, Korean superstar G-DRAGON performed his two-day 'Ubermensch' show at Axiata Arena, attracting many famous faces to the concert hall in Bukit Jalil. One of the stars who went viral on social media for attending the show was Bosco Wong. However, after photos and videos of the actor at the concert emerged online, it prompted many questions about the mystery woman by his side. As shown in photos, Bosco attended the concert in a low-key manner, dressing casually in a white shirt, a bucket hat and a grey mask. The same grey mask was also seen on the woman next to him, sparking rumours that the two may be a couple and that the masks are 'couple items'. Additionally, concertgoers claimed the two seemed close and were chatting during the show, intensifying the rumours. However, in a recent interview with Hong Kong media, Bosco denied the dating rumours with the mystery woman. He also explained how he came to attend the concert in Malaysia, saying, 'I went to Malaysia to watch the concert with a large group of friends, and there were more than 10 of us watching the show together. I happened to know the organiser, so of course I had to come! The tickets were also very difficult to get.' As for the 'couple masks', Bosco clarified that it was merely a coincidence. He said, 'That box of masks was bought for us by my friend in Malaysia, so of course the masks would have the same style if they're from the same box.' Interestingly, the dating rumours emerged days after Bosco's viral statement from a recent talk show appearance, where he said he has no plans to get married. It's funny how romance speculations can arise just from wearing something similar. We're glad Bosco could clarify the issue before the rumours started spreading – but what are your thoughts on this?

The incident went viral on Chinese social media platforms, drawing widespread criticism. > Sin Chew Daily reported that a man in Kelantan has taken it upon himself to repair the damaged walkways outside Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II in Kota Baru. An online video shows sidewalks around the hospital in disrepair, overgrown with weeds and riddled with potholes. Many healthcare workers have to walk carefully to avoid tripping. 'This is not an ordinary road – it's the route medical staff take to work and a place where patients can get some fresh air,' the man said. He began the repair work after obtaining permission from the hospital's security personnel, toiling under the blazing sun, pulling weeds and clearing rubbish. His heartwarming actions have moved some social media users, who labelled him 'a true urban hero'. Concerned netizens have since urged authorities to pay more attention to the infrastructure surrounding hospitals.

Eric Tsang & Kenny Bee Apologise After Taking Photo With Namewee
When stars gather in one place, it's often expected for them to take photos and share them online. Unfortunately for Hong Kong stars Eric Tsang (曾志伟) and Kenny Bee (钟镇涛), their recent photo with Malaysian singer Namewee (黄明志) wasn't so well-received. Eric and Kenny were recently in Malaysia for the 'Wow! Super! Happy 30 Years' concert at Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting. Attending the concert as an audience member was Namewee, who met with the cast backstage. Before the concert, the singer shared photos of himself with the HK stars on his social media, wishing them good luck for their performance. Also in the photo was local influencer and SteadyGang member, Tomato. While the photo itself seemed innocent, the two HK stars received backlash for associating themselves with Namewee due to his controversial image. The Malaysian-born media personality has been banned in China for his views against Chinese President Xi Jinping and his remarks on China-related topics. As such, both Eric and Kenny issued public apologies on their individual Weibo and distanced themselves from Namewee. In his post, Kenny wrote, 'During an event in Resorts World Genting, Malaysia, I inadvertently took a photo with an individual, which caused misunderstandings. I was unaware of that person's background and inappropriate past actions. If I had known his position earlier, I would never have had any contact with him. This incident was an unintentional mistake and does not mean that I agree with his views.' On his Weibo, Eric wrote a similar apology, adding, 'As a Chinese, I have always been committed to safeguarding national dignity and national sentiment.' Meanwhile, Namewee has since deleted the post from his social media. He explained the move, saying, 'To not affect the peace and stability of the 'motherland' as well as the safety of our comrades in Hong Kong in the Greater Bay Area, we have removed the previous post and photos.' It's worth noting that Namewee hinted that he was forced to remove the post due to the backlash. What are your thoughts on this? Sources: China Press (1)(2)

Chinese Actor Zhang Yiyang Sentenced To Death For Murdering 16yo GF
Many stars have received punishment for crimes, but Chinese actor Zhang Yiyang (张艺洋) recently shocked netizens with the severity of his punishment. It was recently reported that the star was executed late last year for murdering his girlfriend. The Xianyang Intermediate People's Court in Shaanxi recently disclosed details of the murder case that involved Chinese actor Zhang Yiyang. The incident occurred on 26th February 2022 during the actor's birthday celebration. According to reports, the then-31-year-old had intentionally killed his 16-year-old girlfriend after she wanted to break up with him. He reportedly attacked her in the neck with a folding knife, causing severe injuries that led to her death. After the attack, Zhang Yiyang attempted to stage his girlfriend's death as a suicide. He had also tried to take his own life but was unsuccessful. The public figure was later arrested and charged with intentional homicide. According to the court ruling, Zhang Yiyang's actions were extremely violent and caused social harm. The court also revealed that the actor has a long history of emotionally manipulating the victim during their relationship. Zhang Yiyang was then sentenced to death and was executed by firing squad on 18th December 2024, at 33 years old. This case marks the first time an artist in Mainland China's entertainment industry was lawfully sentenced to and underwent capital punishment, highlighting its severity. However, it's unknown why the case wasn't publicised months after the execution took place. Nevertheless, the case's exposure sparked heated discussions among Chinese netizens. Many argued that Zhang Yiyang wasn't included in the Chinese government's official blacklist of disgraced artists, despite his sentencing. Some also lamented that his works are still accessible to the public, suggesting a double standard within the entertainment industry. Others also expressed disgust at the age gap between him and the victim. While Zhang Yiyang has already received his punishment for his crime, netizens still want his name and work on the official blacklist as a reminder for other artists in China.
