Let me quote Forrest Gump to describe China's stock market: "It is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." In just a few days, the market turned from heaven to hell.
"Entrepreneurship is not a substitute for a job; rather, it is an engine of economic development. In the 'Internet Plus' era, the threshold for becoming a successful entrepreneur is rising, and it's crucial to have a clear picture of the overall economic situation and the related industries."
Zhang Kexin is in her mid-20s and works in the public relations department of a State-owned company. But she still remembers the first time she tasted avocados.
"Illustration or picture books are much better than iPads for growing-up children, as they help stimulate the child's imagination," said Li Yaming, a 34-year-old mother and a middle-school teacher in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. "But the plethora of choices often makes it difficult for me to choose the best ones."
Children's illustration books first appeared in the 1600s in Europe. Their passage to China, however, took much longer, roughly 300 years.
I still remember the first illustrated book that my mother read to me when I was just three years old. It was The Wonderful Adventure of Nils, a masterpiece from Selma Lagerlof, the first woman writer from Sweden who won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Pippa Middleton has taken a novel approach to fundraising for her latest charitable mission; she's turned her hand to fashion design.
Rowan Atkinson has made a bumper profit after selling the ￡8 million supercar he famously crashed twice in one of the UK's biggest ever deals.
Not every 16-year-old will get to walk their first red carpet in the company of a designer who has dressed the likes of Michelle Obama, Rihanna and Naomi Campbell. But then again Maya Thurman-Hawke isn't your average 16-year-old.
Talented, funny, well on her way to becoming a national treasure, yes, but glamorous is probably not the first word one would land upon to describe Miranda Hart. I wouldn't be so uncharitable as to call her frumpy, but she'd have been unlikely to make it on anyone's best-dressed list in the party pages. Until this week that is, when 42 year-old Hart slinked up the red carpet at the London premiere of her new film, Spy, with an infinitely more polished appearance, svelte in a chic black jumpsuit and beaded sandals, with softly waved hair and stylish jewellery.
