At the star-studded wedding between Hong Kong celebrity Dickie Cheung and Chinese actress Zhang Qian recently in Manila, Han Hong, the hefty butch Tibetan-born crooner who sports short cropped hair and men's suits and who's long been rumoured to be a lesbian, was seen getting a little emotional during the church service. When asked why, she described herself as "yearning for love" and awestruck at "what a beautiful thing marriage is". The intrepid reporter ventured on to ask Han Hong who her ideal husband was, and the singer said without thinking twice that she's been long full of admiration for Nicholas Tse -- the Hong Kong bad boy whose wife Cecilia Cheung got into a bit of trouble last year. Oh... what about all these rumours of Han Hong getting married swirling about and all the other rumours of her supposed romantic liaison with Andy Hui, the reporter asks. Han Hong dismissed all rumours and said Andy Hui was just like a sworn brother to her, but not exactly her type. We just love how clueless Chinese journalists can get or pretend to be sometimes. more ›

One week after last month's deadly Sichuan Earthquake, we brought to you the heartrending story of Chen Jian (陈坚), a young man who was pinned under the rubble for 73 hours, but unfortunately didn't make it after rescuers managed to extract him after working on him for six hours. Today, Zhang Qian (张倩), the reporter who was by Chen Jian's side in his last moments still breaks down whenever she thinks of him. In this interview with CCTV, she tearfully recounts of how she and her cameraman could not help but weep when they entered Beichuan that fateful day and saw how it was completely flattened by the quake, and of how she shuddered to think of how many people were under her each time she had to walk over the rubble. She also highlights the bravery of one Jiangsu rescuer by the name of Ouyang Honghong (欧阳宏宏) who risked his own life by taking off his helmet because that was the only way he could enter the rubble and help reposition Chen Jian's body. more ›
