4 Oct - Sun Ke-fang recently opened up about her family life - a subject she rarely talked about in the past - after winning Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series at the recently held Golden Bell Awards.

As reported on Epoch Times, the actress, who won for her role in the drama "Close Your Eyes Before It's Dark", mentioned her late parents in her acceptance speech and also thanked her grandmother, who passed away a few years ago.

Sun later shared that she is the product of a tragedy, as her parents passed away in a car accident while she was only seven, and that she later grew up under the care of her grandparents.

However, the actress admitted that she never made it a point before to talk about her situation in life so not to be publicised as "the new star with a tragic past".

She also revealed that her past has enabled her to deeply relate to her character in the drama, saying, "The director told me that the tragedy will also be treasures of my life. It gave me more confidence in acting."

Now that she has won her first award, Sun said that she couldn't wait to return home to her grandfather and celebrate her win together.

Trouble in China's shopping paradise as Hainan duty-free spending tumbles
BEIJING (Reuters) -Duty-free spending slumped 29.3% last year in China's island province of Hainan, where global luxury players from LVMH to Kering have set up shop, as a weak economy led to a sharp drop in numbers of domestic visitors. Shoppers visiting Hainan, known for its glitzy seafront hotels and sandy beaches, spent 30.94 billion yuan ($4.24 billion) on duty-free goods in 2024, customs data showed on Thursday, down from 43.76 billion in 2023. "The depreciation of foreign currencies, such as the Japanese yen, combined with attractive travel policies like visa-free entry in Malaysia, has led many Chinese consumers to seek lower prices abroad," said Kenneth Chow, principal at consultancy Oliver Wyman.
