FORMER South Korean-Chinese boyband Exo member, Lu Han, has fulfilled the promise that he made about giving away concert tickets to Covid-19 front line health workers.
Sin Chew Daily reported that the health workers were invited to the 2023 TT Day concert which will be held in Beijing on June 23 and 24.
Lu’s heartwarming gesture has earned him praise from netizens and his fans.
The invitation message outlined steps that need to be taken by the health workers to redeem their free tickets.
At the height of the pandemic in 2020, health workers around the world were placed on the front lines to combat the virus.After being sent to Wuhan, a health worker posted on Weibo a photo of her donning a PPE suit with the message: “Can I go to watch your concert?” on the back.
At that time, Lu replied: “Let’s come. I will invite you.”
> Former Taiwanese actress Joey Wong Cho-Yee was spotted taking part in a Buddha bathing ceremony at a temple in Canada recently, and this once again showed how devout she was after going into retirement, reported China Press.
The public shared photos of Wong at the ceremony, including one that showed her walking and chanting together with a priest.
The Ling Yen Mountain Temple in Richmond had recently also posted videos about the knowledge of Buddhism, featuring Wong, who demonstrated how to perform prayers properly.
After leaving show business in 2005, the 56-year-old moved to Vancouver and stayed out of the limelight. Wong has embraced Buddhism since 2019 under the dharma name “Sing Jue Ju Shi”.
At her peak in the 1980s, Wong was one of the most famous actresses in Hong Kong alongside Cherie Chung, Rosamund Kwan and Maggie Cheung.
