The 58th “10 Outstanding Young Persons Awards” ceremony took place in Kaohsiung late last month. Several celebrities were among this year’s winners — including Golden Melody Award-winning singer Crowd Lu, Taiwanese-American TV host Janet Hsieh, top male gymnast Lee Chih-kai and world-class violist Benny Tseng.
The award is organized by the Junior Chamber International Taiwan in honor of outstanding Taiwanese nationals aged 20 to 40 for their achievements. Although the name of the award implies 10 winners, a total of 12 winners were picked this year. Other young talent on the list included David Chou, Cheng Ho, Hsu Te-hua, Huang Chen-lun, Huang Wei-hsiang, Vivi Lin, Lin Yu-chun and Albert Liu.
Lee, who won a silver medal for men’s pommel horse at the 2019 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, is the first gymnast to win the award. He described the award as “unbelievable” and thanked his long-term coach Lin Yu-hsin at a news conference recently, saying that the award will serve as a motivation for him to keep fighting for his goal.

For many people in Taiwan, childhood memories of rural life include pig pens standing beside family homes. Leftover rice, vegetable scraps and soup from daily meals were poured into buckets and fed to pigs. This practice of feeding pigs with household food waste was once a common way of life, both an economic choice and an expression of agricultural society’s deep respect for conserving resources. From a practical standpoint, pigs are omnivorous animals capable of efficiently digesting food scraps that humans can no longer eat. For rural households, food waste cost almost nothing, yet it could be converted into pork, a

What makes tango truly magical is the deep interaction and spontaneous improvisation between partners. Tango began in the late 19th century in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s bustling capital. Born in the poor working-class neighborhoods and busy port areas, this dance emerged from a melting pot of cultures. European immigrants, African slaves and local residents all contributed to its unique character. From these rich influences, tango
A: What show are you watching online? B: I’m watching “Fly Me to the Moon & Back” – an exhibition launched by the Taipei Music Center (TMC) to commemorate the late singer Tom Chang. A: Known for his sky-high notes, Chang is praised as one of the best singers in the 1990s. His death at the age of 31 was a major loss indeed. B: And I’m so glad that we went to the TMC’s 90s-themed concert last Friday. I finally saw the iconic “Godmother of Rock” WaWa perform live.
