Meet the 12-year-old girl in love with Chinese culture
Meet the 12-year-old girl in love with Chinese culture By CNA/Wallace Woon Clarissa See fell in love with the erhu after hearing it at a Singapore Chinese Orchestra concert when she was six. 'When I (started learning the) erhu, I thought it's something fun,' she shared. 'But when I got older, I (realised) that the erhu tells people stories from the sound and lets them know what is happening in the song, like if it's sadness or joy.' Her interests also extend to the gaohu, Chinese dance, martial arts and Teochew opera. 'When I (went) to Teochew opera for the first time, the costumes (were) very beautiful and I liked the makeup. When I wear the make-up and the costume, I think that I'm stepping back in time,' she said. Her mother, Deng Xiu Wei, is cautious not to push her daughter too hard. If Clarissa eventually decides Chinese music isn't for her, she would have her mum's full support. 'Children are unique. As a parent, I will use the torchlight to find a way for them and let them find a way by themselves. They have their own pace and their own terms as well,' said Deng. Next Story

A bunny made him a billionaire: Pop Mart's Labubu turned Wang Ning into China's youngest tycoon
CHINA: In the world of designer items, where a whimsical mind meets commerce, few stories are as astonishing and as pleasantly peculiar as that of Wang Ning and his business, Pop Mart. At age 38, Wang has soared into the exalted ranks of China's top 10 wealthiest individuals, and he owed it to the breakneck fame of a playful, rabbit-like character named Labubu. In the latest Forbes ' billionaire list, Wang now claims an overwhelming net worth of $22.7 billion, making him the 10th richest individual in China. His meteoric rise, according to a recent article published by Punchng , mirrors not only the financial triumph of the Pop Mart International Group but also the cultural sensation that the company has triggered worldwide. From niche to global craze Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, Labubu isn't your archetypal fluffy mascot. With round, enlarged eyes manifesting an 'innocent gaze', shabby fur, and a 'nonchalant brashness,' the vinyl figure has found an improbable fan base extending from Asia to Europe to the U.S. The company's shares, traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, have risen threefold in 2025, now soaring above HK$270 ($34.40), driving Pop Mart's market value to a jaw-dropping HK$365 billion. 'This is more than just a toy—it's a cultural export,' according to Deutsche Bank analyst Jessie Xu in a recent note. 'It's rare for a comic or toy IP to break cultural walls so effectively, appealing to both Asian fans and Western pop culture icons.' Indisputably, Labubu's list of 'devotees' reads like a music holiday roster — Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Lisa of Blackpink — have all been seen with Pop Mart's iconic figures, bolstering the brand's worldwide desirability and X-factor. Billionaire at play Wang Ning's journey is a masterclass in niche advertising and shrewd brand building. Established in 2010, Pop Mart began as a tiny Beijing store fixated on blind-box novelties — taped-up parcels that make the toy inside a surprise until unlocked. The idea swiftly progressed into a fever of swapping, selling, trading, collecting, and social media sharing, building a 'subculture' that is a lot different from that of streetwear or sneaker culture. Labubu took the company to another level. When the third edition showed up in April, scenarios at a London Pop Mart store looked like Black Friday havoc — fans pushed and shoved to grab the £13.50 to £50 toys, while others resold them online for hundreds. In Beijing, a full-size Labubu recently made 1.08 million yuan ($150,000) at a public sale, fortifying its position as a luxury collectible. Even banks took part in the fun, Ping An Bank offered Labubu dolls as an 'incentive' to new account holders who placed more than 50,000 yuan as a deposit. The promotional stunt was so effective, regulators noticed it and eventually stopped. Investors took note Pop Mart's spectacular upsurge hasn't gone unobserved on Wall Street. Deutsche Bank recently increased its price target for the stock by 52%, and Morgan Stanley followed, speculating on the brand's international growth. Labubu and Pop Mart's route is vastly different from the conventional path to affluence in China, such as real estate, tech, or manufacturing. Instead, Wang Ning proved that pop culture can be just as potent as an engine for progress. Now hobnobbing with giants like ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming, Nongfu Spring's Zhong Shanshan, and Tencent's Ma Huateng, Wang is the newest and youngest member of China's billionaire exclusive. However, unlike his equals, his domain didn't grow through data or drinks, but on a radiant, tiny rabbit with a grunge smile. As hoarders and fans queue for the next release of Labubu, its influence grows further, and one thing is clear — with the kind of global economy at present, quirkiness and wealth are, in reality, closely aligned.

The 82-year-old dancer who's not slowing down
The 82-year-old dancer who's not slowing down Madam Rosalind Koh's schedule is packed. She attends dancing or singing classes daily, and spends some afternoons teaching seniors English, singing or dance exercises. But she's not tired, she says. 'I was so busy working in my 20s and 30s, there was no time to play,' the retired English teacher told CNA TODAY. 'Now is the time to play. Now, I can do things I enjoy and even make others happy.' For Mdm Koh, age is a number and you are only as "old" as you let yourself be. 'I don't feel old at all. Some people may be 50, but they behave like they're 80 and don't want to go out,' she said. 'I think I'm living life to the fullest. I'm very contented and very happy.' Next Story
