Giving up seats to elderly should be an easy decision in China
Chinese civilisation is deeply rooted in the virtues of sympathy, respect and love towards the elderly. For instance, Confucian teachings promote the idea that filial piety is the root of virtue and place great emphasis on the moral duty of the younger generation to care for and honour their elders. This long-standing cultural ideal has helped shape familial relationships and defined broader societal norms. Needless to say, there are numerous examples of preserving filial piety. Yet in today's fast-paced and increasingly individualistic society, these values are too often forgotten or neglected. Two recent videos have gone viral on Chinese social media and reignited public debate about the possible erosion of moral values in China. In the first video, an elderly woman asked a young woman to vacate a courtesy seat on a subway. Rather than showing empathy or understanding, several nearby young passengers criticised the elderly woman, claiming she should avoid public transport during rush hour altogether because young people need to have a seat to rest after a day's hard work. The situation became even more distressing when the young woman refused to move. This prompted the elderly woman to attempt to sit on the young woman before the latter pushed her away. In the second incident, an 83-year-old man leaning on a cane asked a young man to give up his seat on a crowded train. The young man refused. In a moment of exasperation, the elderly man reached out and pulled at the youth's arm, leading to a verbal confrontation. Their argument quickly escalated, drawing the attention of other passengers and raising questions about boundaries, entitlement and basic decency. In response to this incident, staff at the subway authority in Shanghai offered little in the way of guidance on how such situations could be avoided in the future.

All about K-pop superstars BTS as last member finishes up mandatory military service
It is official – almost. Soon, all seven members of the massively popular K-pop group BTS will have completed South Korea's mandatory military service. Rapper Suga will be the last of the bandmates to be released, on Saturday, after fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose because of a shoulder injury. BTS' entertainment agency said no events are planned for Suga's release out of concern for overcrowding. The six others – RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, Jin and J-Hope – served in the army. Four of them – RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook – were discharged earlier this month. Jin, the eldest BTS member, was discharged in June 2024, as was J-Hope in October. Play BTS are expected to reunite later this year. Ahead of that highly anticipated homecoming, here is what you need to know about the group.

Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev plays subdued Beethoven and colourful Grieg in Hong Kong
The secret to a good story is, as they say, in the telling. Legendary Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev wasted no time telling his tale to a packed audience in Hong Kong on June 17, launching into the Shigeru Kawai grand piano the very second he sat down. His recital was made up of two clearly opposed halves. The first saw his subdued yet thoughtful expressions of pathos and beauty in two of Beethoven's pillar sonatas, while a vivid depiction of Nordic nostalgia in a selection of Grieg's Lyric Pieces came after the intermission. The multifaceted musician-composer, whose distinguished international career began when he won first prize in the 1978 Tchaikovsky Competition, showed he had some real doozies up his sleeves despite exercising considerable emotional restraint in the first piece, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8, the 'Pathétique'. Indeed, those expecting more outward expressions of the dramatic, agitated aspects of the music may have felt like they showed up at the wrong wedding. Expressions of pathos in the Grave introduction were more introspective in his hands, and any showy displays in the ensuing Allegro di molto con brio were equally shunned.
