For most people, even the wealthiest among us, the importance of jewelry goes beyond intrinsic value.
When you spot a Mickey Mouse actor at a public recreation area, who do you think is inside the costume? A child, perhaps? No, it's an adult because the figure is much taller and moves about with energy. Never in my wildest imagination would I say an elderly woman.
The Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington DC is telling the story of China-US relations through its huge collection of Chinese and US postage stamps and mail.
Huaiyang dishes, mainly from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, are known as "the first good taste of the Southeast".
Can you imagine a cigar that you cannot smoke, but eat? Or how about a chocolate mousse that tastes spicy?
Visiting Du Hsiao Yueh Restaurant's new branch at Wangfujing's Sun Dong An changed my first impression of its first locale.
The days stretched to weeks, and emotions ran high. The relatives and friends of the missing plane housed at the Metropark Lido Hotel were fraught with distress, frustrated by the lack of news and tempers were frayed.
Anton Chekhov enjoys a very unique place among China's theatergoers. There are frequent stagings of his plays, including his shorter, not-so-famous ones. But it would be an exaggeration to say his popularity in the Middle Kingdom is on par with, say, Shakespeare, let alone China's own inimitable playwrights, such as Lao She and Cao Yu. But Stan Lai seems to be on a mission to change that. The Taiwan impresario, a renowned playwright and stage director in his own right, has just produced a double bill-Carol Rocamora's I Take Your Hand in Mine and Chekhov's The Seagull in Beijing. The former starts at 4 pm and, after a dinner break, the second play is performed. The three-day Beijing run has just ended, and now the show will embark upon a nationwide tour.
When a picture of a group of celebrities taking a selfie at the Oscars went viral on social media, Jean Pigozzi was less than impressed-he has taken pictures of himself with celebrities across the globe since 1972.
