2 May - 2017 seems to be a good year for actor-producer Eric Tsang. After winning Best Actor at the Malaysian Golden Global Awards and Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in "Mad World", the actor was recently honoured with another accolade at the Udine Far East Film Festival.

As reported on Mingpao, the actor, who attended the event to promote the said movie recently, accepted the Golden Mulberry Lifetime Achievement Award prior to the movie's screening at the festival.

"It comes perhaps a little early in my career, but thank you. This might be the biggest award I'll have in my life," said Eric.

Earlier in the day, Eric joined Hong Kong director Fruit Chan in talking to young journalists at the FEFF Campus about the Hong Kong film industry.

In the Wong Chun-directed movie, Eric plays a struggling truck driver who has to take care of his bipolar son, who was responsible for his wife's death.

Korean American rapper Jessi faces backlash in South Korea after fan assault
Korean American rapper Jessi is facing heavy criticism in South Korea — with some social media users reportedly demanding she leave the country — after a fan was assaulted by a person accompanying her. The incident, which occurred in southern Seoul on Sept. 29, involved an 18-year-old fan being struck in the face after requesting a photo with Jessi, who had declined twice. In a delayed apology, Jessi explained that the assailant was an acquaintance of her producer whom she had only met that day, expressing regret for her failure to intervene and vowing to contact the victim for an apology and compensation.

Exclusive-How Israel’s bulky pager fooled Hezbollah
The batteries inside the weaponised pagers that arrived in Lebanon at the start of the year, part of an Israeli plot to decimate Hezbollah, had powerfully deceptive features and an Achilles' heel. The agents who built the pagers designed a battery that concealed a small but potent charge of plastic explosive and a novel detonator that was invisible to X-ray, according to a Lebanese source with first-hand knowledge of the pagers, and teardown photos of the battery pack seen by Reuters. To overcome the weakness - the absence of a plausible backstory for the bulky new product - they created fake online stores, pages and posts that could deceive Hezbollah due diligence, a Reuters review of web archives shows.

Xi says China willing to be a partner, friend with the US
BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese President Xi Jinping said a successful partnership between China and the United States is an opportunity for the two countries to be enablers for each other's development rather than an obstacle, according to state media on Wednesday. The two countries have been at odds over national security concerns, ongoing trade spats as well as China's actions in the South China Sea and intensified military drills around Taiwan. "China has always handled China-U.S. relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and has always believed that the success of China and the United States is an opportunity for each other," Xi said.
