Peter Chan visited Jimmy Wang Yu in Taiwan while doing publicity for Wu Xia. The director brought fruit and chicken and felt a little more at ease after seeing Wang Yu in person. Wang Yu is rehabilitating after suffering a stroke last month. Besides watching his diet and giving up wine, Wang Yu has been exercising his left arm and walking the stairs at home. Even going so far as threatening to drive with one hand to the rehab center, Wang Yu said he scared the wits out of his assistants. He promised director Chan that he would attend the Taiwan and  Hong Kong premieres on July 20 and July 26.

FBA: Fallen City review
Small-scale but interesting drama of switched identities pretty much delivers on its original idea.
FBA: Lovers in the Water review
Emotionally delicate drama of a dying young man visiting his hometown avoids obvious melodrama.

First picture of Jimmy Wang Yu since his recent stroke. Wang Yu said that the doctor told him there was no stroke like his, three days in bed and then he was up walking. The left side was still weak but his speech and walking was normal.

The Hong Kong singer was responding to a past comment that said her fiancé is a homosexual

Most of Cheung's fighting scenes from her upcoming movie "The Lion Roars 2" has reportedly been omitted out from the script due to her pregnancy.



It is believed that the actor would be signed under the same company as Japanese-Taiwanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro and would focus on making movies.
