Singaporean actress Tay Ying and celebrity chef Wu Sihan tied the knot on Father's Day on June 15.
'We had the perfect wedding thanks to so many people,' Tay, 29, wrote on social media on June 16, tagging Wu, 33, in the post. 'While we take our time to absorb everything that happened this weekend, here are some snippets of day 2 of our wedding last night.'
The actress posted four photos from the ceremony, including one in which she was accompanied by her father – actor-producer Zheng Geping – and her uncle and godfather, Hong Weiwen.
Hong is the younger brother of Tay's mother, actress Hong Huifang. Tay Ying also has a younger brother, singer-actor Calvert Tay, 25.
The wedding was held at Orchard Hotel Singapore with 72 tables and about 700 guests.
According to Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao , Tay Ying and Wu chose the venue as it was where Hong Huifang, 64, and Zheng, 61, had held their wedding 32 years ago.
The star-studded affair on June 15 was attended by many current and former Singaporean artistes.
The guests included Christopher Lee and his wife Fann Wong, Yvonne Lim and her family, Florence Tan, Vincent Ng, Cassandra See, Chen Xiuhuan, Xiang Yun, Aileen Tan, Jin Yinji, Huang Biren, Tang Miaoling, Cherie Lim, Chen Tianwen, Chen Hanwei, Richard Low and Lin Ruping.
Also on the guest list were younger artistes such as Elvin Ng, Romeo Tan, Rebecca Lim, Chantalle Ng, Desmond Tan, Hong Ling and her husband Nick Teo, as well as Denise Camillia Tan and Xixi Lim.
Tay and Wu met in 2021 at Italian bistro Supply & Demand at Esplanade Mall – where Wu is the head chef – through his cousin, a friend of Tay's.
Wu proposed to Tay in March 2024, but the couple kept it under wraps for a year before announcing the engagement on social media in March. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

NAIROBI, June 20 (Xinhua) -- The fusion of Chinese and African fashion came into the spotlight on Friday when students from Moi University in southern Kenya staged a catwalk during the second edition of the East Africa (Kenya) Fashion Life Show 2025, held in the capital, Nairobi. Models participating in the fashion show wore elegant attire that blended Chinese and African fabrics, patterns, designs, and colors, demonstrating cross-cultural ties between the two sides. Liz Nyakiongora, a part-time model and communications major at Moi University, said she felt honored to participate in the catwalk and demonstrate both Chinese and African fashion. "What we wanted to bring out in this fashion show is the solidarity and prosperity in China-Kenya relations. As an African model, being able to showcase this fusion of fashion from both sides was a great moment. We took the prints from Kenya and China and came up with these final products," Nyakiongora said. Cavince Otieno Ochieng, an arts major at Moi University, said the event emphasized inclusivity, cross-cultural understanding and harmony through the blending of African and Chinese prints. "As a young Kenyan, I look forward to more inclusivity in fashion and having people from different countries come together to form a common thread that unites us," Ochieng said. While acknowledging his appreciation of Chinese fashion, Ochieng said it embodies positive virtues of humanity, including unity, talent, beauty, and a vibrant aura. Biutha Mosomi, dean of students at Moi University's Nairobi Campus, said the fashion show helped spotlight the richness, authenticity, and beauty of African and Chinese fabrics. He stressed that blending Chinese and African fashion will help strengthen bonds of friendship and understanding, in addition to opening up revenue streams for young local designers.

Chinese blockbuster "Ne Zha 2" hits screens in Spain
BARCELONA, Spain, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2" hit the big screens across Spain on Friday, with a local industry insider saying the film could open a door to Chinese culture for Spanish audiences. The Cines Filmax Gran Via cinema complex in Barcelona is among hundreds of cinemas scheduled to screen the film from Friday through Monday, according to Enlight Media, its film's main producer. "For an ancient culture like that of China, which has a very rich mythology that we don't know, this can open a door to learning about it in an entertaining way," said Camilo Tarrazon, co-CEO of the Cines Filmax Gran Via, in an interview with Xinhua. Based on the 16th-century Chinese mythological novel Investiture of the Gods, the movie tells the story of Ne Zha, a demon child whose adventures uncover a dark conspiracy and trigger a war between the forces of good and evil. "Without doubt, this is a step forward. We live in a world where distances and barriers are falling, and cinema is an industry that can allow us to get to know the culture of a country as important as China," Tarrazon added. A day before the official release, the Barcelona cinema hosted a pre-launch screening of "Ne Zha 2." According to Tarrazon, it marked the first time that a Chinese film in its original version was shown in Spanish cinemas. Produced on a relatively modest budget of 80 million U.S. dollars, "Ne Zha 2" has already become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Since its release, the movie has earned more than 2 billion dollars globally, including presales and international revenues, according to film data platform Maoyan.
