After striking gold, the 24-year-old circled the stadium with a Chinese flag fluttering from his shoulders, like Superman with his cape...

Among other directors, Sylvia Chang's accomplished triad-cum-family drama Run Papa Run, released in April, covers decades of Hong Kong's social transformation...

The eccentric, inelegant and downright unmarketable designs that have gone before may be giving way to a new breed of electric car that is attractive, stylish and as much an appeal to our ego as to our green conscience.
