Shu Qi feels character vicious, gentle and sexy all in one 2012

The Gordon Chan Ka Seung produced, Carol Lai Miu Shuet directed, Shu Qi and Shawn Yue Man Lok starred romantic thriller THE SECOND WOMAN (CHING MAI) will be released on March 8. Shu Qi in the film played two characters, a pair of twins who both fell for Yue Man Lok and into a immoral love triangle. Shu Qi in the film was vicious, gentle and sexy all in one. Earlier she admitted that making THE SECOND WOMAN absolutely was not easy, for a period she could not pull herself out.

Shu Qi earlier posted a “shedding tear” photo online. She thought that eyes that were swollen from crying looked great. She said, “Eye drops can be used in crying scenes! Yet it has no way to reach the condition of red eyes and nose, so I still cry on my own.” In the film she played twin sisters who both fell for Yue Man Lok’s stage actor. She admitted that both characters tragically tortured her, as the older sister’s voice and tone would come out suddenly through the younger sister. She could only discuss with the director to first finish one before shooting the other. Otherwise she could not perform.

Shu Qi is a Golden Horse Award winning Best Actress and made many outstanding films. She pointed out that now good characters are fun characters. She would not deliberately think of any hardship or challenge for herself. Instead she wanted to play, so her movies did not have to be high technical.... READ MORE

zhang-ziyi-zibi_wenn_comWith Chinese New Year just around the corner, we got to thinking about Chinese women and their tricks for looking gorgeous. January 1st has long passed so Chinese New Year (which is today) might be exactly what we need to get motivated about looking and feeling great again. Here we divulge some of our favorite Chinese health and beauty secrets to get ready for the New Year…again:

Use Natural Hair-Wash Products

If you've ever dreamed of getting silky, healthy hair, know this: it's all about using natural ingredients to boost shine. Many Chinese women use hair rinses with products like green tea, rosemary, or camellia nut oil to rid hair of toxins and give it an extra protein boost.

Looking for a Western product that'll do the trick? We like Aubrey Organics Green Tea Clarifying Shampoo ($10 at Sears). Its all-natural ingredients won't dehydrate hair and leaves your locks with a little extra volume.

Drink Tea

Perhaps it's not a well-kept secret but, nevertheless, this is a tip to take seriously. The Chinese have been drinking tea—particularly green, white, and oolong tea—for centuries and not only for the taste factor. These teas contain mega amounts of anti-oxidants that repair damaged body tissue (read: sun damage) helping Chinese women stay slim and look young.

Get Massaged

Just in case you need a reason to get massaged, here it is: it's an ancient healing practice that eliminates toxins in the body. Chinese women love their massages, partially because of the belief that having a well-balanced, even-flowing energy throughout the body is the key to wellbeing. If your internal energy gets stuck, say in muscles or a certain part of the body, illness is bound to arise. Hello, V-Day massages!

Try a Pearly Powder

If there's one thing Chinese women treasure, it's flawless skin. For centuries, women have used pearl powder—made from ground-up oyster shells— to create smooth, even toned complexions. Pearl powder contains amino acids and minerals that studies show help with acne, brown spots, and wrinkles. Not to mention it evens out skin tone.

Pearl powder is hard to come by and often taken in a pill form, so we recommend trying something topical. My Beauty Diary Pearl Powder Mask ($13 at Amazon.com) contains the magic, nourishing ingredient and is ideal for dull or damaged skin.

Marking the first solar term in a Chinese calendar year and the end of the winter season, Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. While the official Chinese New Year falls today, the 23rd of January, the celebrations last for fifteen days, culminating in Lantern Festival. Most Australian workers don’t enjoy the same official holidays granted to many Taiwanese, Chinese and Singaporeans but festivities are held throughout Australian major cities for weeks either side of Chinese New Year.

Here are some events to check out over the next couple of weeks.

This Sunday the 29th, there’s not one but two festivals taking place in Melbourne – on Barkly Street, Footscray from 10am to 10pm, and in the heart of Melbourne’s Chinatown on Little Bourke Street from 10am to 8pm. The Year of the Dragon celebrations will include dragon dances, new lion dances, Chinese magic shows, and firecrackers. Around 25 stallholders will be offering Asian food, games, giveaways and more.

Tomorrow, the Prahran Market will welcome the Year of the Dragon with attractions including free live entertainment, Chinese cooking demonstrations, lion dancing, a Chinese orchestra and a fortune cookie giveaway, plus a range of Chinese specials from traders. At 163 Commercial Road, South Yarra. Visit prahranmarket.com.au for info

As part of the Chinese Festival at Crown Casino (until February 17th), the Hawkers Bazaar takes place from the 27th to the 29th of January. The world renowned Dragon Tenors will appear daily on stage; other perfomers include the Melbourne Chinese Guzheng (plucked string instrument) ensemble.

Along with dance perfomances and martial arts demonstrations, there’s free face painting, activities and an animal farm for the kids, plus food demonstrations, a karaoke competition, and fireworks spectacular on Saturday the 28th at 10.45pm. Go to crownmelbourne.com.au/events for more info.

Entry is free to the Chinese Museum on Little Bourke Street in Chinatown on Sunday the 29th of January. The 63 metre-long Millennium Dragon will be awakened from its slumber with colourful and lively performances and lion dances, and other special events for the kids will be available from 11am to 4pm. The five floors of the museum include a Chinatown Visitor Centre, a Dragon Gallery displaying three generations of Chinese dragons, the "Finding Gold" below-ground experience, Australia's 200-year Chinese history told through artefacts as well as the story of recent arrivals from all parts of the Asia Pacific region since the 1950s....
