Bella Su announces marriage six years after losing Godfrey Gao
20 Mar - Six years after losing her boyfriend Taiwanese-Canadian artiste Godfrey Gao, singer Bella Su announced that she is now married. Sharing the good news on social media on 18 March, Bella posted a photo of her and her husband without naming him, and wrote, "I've always believed in letting life unfold as it is, trusting that everything happens in its own time. I never searched for certainty or tried to force things into place - I simply followed the path as it came. But what I never expected was to meet someone who would not only walk beside me but also challenge me, reflect my growth, and connect with me in a way that feels almost beyond words." Bella said that with her new man, it was more than love. It was a deep understanding and a connection that feels grounding and expansive. "And so, with a full heart, I want to share this special news: I've married the person who is willing to walk beside me through every chapter, every challenge, and every joy. He is my greatest support and my deepest anchor," she expressed. "Over the years, your kindness and support have meant the world to me. Many of you have shared your own journeys - your struggles, your growth, your dreams - and it's been an honour to be part of that. Today, I just want to say thank you. For being here, for allowing me to share my life with you, and for celebrating this new chapter with me." Bella was dating Godfrey prior to his untimely passing in 2019 while filming a Chinese variety show. He was 35. (Photo Source: Bella IG)

Hong Kong biotech leader forging ahead with groundbreaking cancer therapies
Great minds blazing a trail: five women are leading the way in the realm of science. See our other features on Megan Lam and Florence Chan Advertisement Gina Jiang took an unconventional route to the top. The daughter of an orthopaedic surgeon and an oil painter, the 44-year-old Taiwanese-Canadian has a degree in general medicine from Peking University but chose not to be a medical doctor or clinical researcher. Instead, Jiang has built a 20-plus-year career finding ways to make new therapies available to patients. She is the one who figures out what's needed, who's needed and what hurdles need to be overcome for treatments to go from the lab to hospital bedsides – otherwise known as translational medicine. 'It's like leading an orchestra,' says Jiang, who coordinates a team of scientists, medical manufacturing experts, engineers and clinicians at the Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology (HKIB) that ensures a multimillion-dollar cancer therapy called CAR-T cell treatment is available in the city. CAR T-cell therapies involve T cells that have been genetically engineered to attack cancer cells. Illustration: Shutterstock Jiang is the managing director of the HKIB – a non-profit manufacturing laboratory affiliated with Chinese University – which produces 'living' immunotherapy drugs tailor-made from a cancer patient's own white blood cells. The treatment is currently being administered to a handful of patients at the Prince of Wales and Hong Kong Children's hospitals. It's an option for those who have not responded to conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. The HKIB also produces other cell and gene therapy products, biologics (medications developed from organic life) and traditional Chinese medicine. Cell therapy isn't a miracle cure. It's still ongoing and being studied, but the hope it brings and the visible improvements I've witnessed motivates me and makes me excited Gina Jiang Jiang has built several medical technology companies in Silicon Valley and Taipei, including FGMi Inc, which focuses on analysing patient needs to fast-track research into application. Design Thinking Foundry, a social enterprise she co-founded in 2017, puts patient experience at the centre of designing medical technology. First sparks
