Avocados, the darling of many healthy and weight-loss diets

Avocados have become the darling of many healthy and weight loss diets, as well as being a staple of the Paleo diet They are having their ‘moment’ in the spotlight for sure! And for good reason! We all know that they are very healthy for us, low glycemic/low carb and full of super nutrients like healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and serious phytochemicals, but wait there’s more!

Avocados have been gaining steadily in popularity over the last ten years. In fact, the rate of consumption of avocados has about doubled in the last ten years and demand keeps growing! Mexico and Latin America are some of the biggest suppliers along with California Did you know that there are actually over a thousand different types of avocados, but here in the United States, we mainly see the popular Hass avocado most of the time Although the demand has gone up for this buttery fruit, supplies this year are lower, so you may be paying a higher price for your avo but they are well worth it for your health and your body!

Here are a few reasons why:

1. Avocados Stabilize Blood Sugar and Fight Metabolic Syndrome: The healthy fats and other nutrition you get from avocados help your body to stabilize blood sugar and insulin, helping fight diabetes and metabolic syndrome, as well as contributing to fat loss and muscle building They are low glycemic; therefore no rise in blood sugar and no fatstoring insulin release The healthy fat content in avocados makes you feel full longer and cuts down on food cravings, so that makes it a perfect food if you are trying to burn fat and lose weight even though avocados are considered fairly calorically dense All in all, researchers discovered that avocado consumers were 50 percent less likely to develop metabolic syndrome than people who don’t normally eat them! The blood sugar stabilizing effect avocados have also helps reduce blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides

A study published in Nutrition Journal (January 2013), made up of 17,567 participants, also found that avocado-eaters generally eat a more balanced diet than non-avocado consumers, had significantly higher intakes of vegetables and fruit, and had higher intakes of vitamins, minerals and other antioxidants BMI and body weight were significantly LESS in people who eat avocados on a regular basis Speaking of high-fat foods that actually HELP you to get leaner, here are 7 fatty foods that fight aging and flatten your stomach (some will surprise you!)

2. Cancer Prevention: The Journal of Nutrition and Cancer recently published the results of a study, showing avocados as a major player in cancer-fighting and study results show phytochemicals as powerful as some chemotherapy! Other research suggests that phytochemicals extracted from avocados help induce cancer cell cycle death, inhibit growth, and induce apoptosis in precancerous and cancer cell lines Avocados abundance of monounsaturated fats also help fight cancer by being an effective anti-inflammatory agent Betasitosterol also protects the prostate gland in men, fighting cancer and improving immune functions And the powerful carotenoids fight skin cancer, as well as aging

3. Weight Loss: While avocados get a bad rap because they are calorically dense and high in fats, they are actually a great weight loss food Diets lower in carbohydrates actually actually have been shown to help in fat loss, and in reducing hunger because they keep blood sugar and fatstoring insulin in check Fats are super filling and increase satisfaction that help you eat less overall And they allow you to go longer between meals without getting hungry That healthy fat also helps your body absorb more fat-burning vitamins and minerals as well. A study conducted in 2005, examined the effects of avocados, a rich source of calories coming from monounsaturated fatty acids, as part of an energy-restricted diet on weight loss, serum lipids and vascular function in overweight and obese subjects. They found that consumption of 30 grams a day of fat from avocado within restricted calorie diet didn’t compromise weight loss at all when substituted for 30 grams a day of mixed dietary fats. The diet high in avocado resulted in significant weight loss in addition to other health improvements Measurements including body mass, body mass index and percentage of body fat decreased significantly in both groups during the study. Only the avocado test group experienced positive changes in fatty acid blood serum levels So, there are clearly avocado benefits for weight loss!

4. Avocados Contain Amazing Fats: Avocados contain oodles of oleic acid the same type of healthy fat that is in olive oil, which helps among other things lower bad cholesterol and fight cancers. Unlike saturated fats or highly processed vegetable oils, avocado oil regulates blood sugar, protects the heart as well as the brain Avocados contain plenty of oleic acid, the same monounsaturated fat in olive oil, that helps lower cholesterol and is helpful in preventing breast cancer and other cancers Avo’s help to block the development of arteriosclerosis (the gunk inside your blood vessels that blocks blood flow) partly because of their blood sugar-lowering effects. Other serious health-protecting ingredients include fiber, beta-sitosterol, magnesium, and potassium, which help to regulate blood pressure and lower LDL cholesterol This study shows people eating avocados dropped total cholesterol by 17%, LDL’s decreased by 22%, triglycerides by 22%, and healthy HDL rose by 11%. That avo fat is GOOD for you!!

5. Healthy Babies—Before and After Birth: One medium avocado has about a quarter of your required daily amount of folate, or folic acid, a B vitamin that plays an essential role in making new cells by helping to produce healthy DNA and RNA Folate is required for pregnant women, and helps lower the risk birth defects in babies, as well as being important for heart health And avocados are the perfect baby food as well! They are firm enough to be picked up by tiny fingers, but easily mashable and edible even for someone with no teeth! What’s more, we now know they are chock full of healthy nutrition, healthy fats and massive phytochemicals And their mild taste is something babies love, making avo’s a great baby superfood!

6. Eye Health: Avocados have lots of carotenoids and lutein, antioxidants that are both valuable for healthy eyes. It also contains zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene, plus significant quantities of vitamin E The oleic acid in avo’s helps the body absorb those precious carotenoids and convert to vitamin A, as well as being able to access the antioxidants in other foods as well Carotenoid benefits include lowering inflammation, promoting healthy growth and development, and boosting immunity, among others

7. Healthy Inside and Healthy Outside Skin and Hair: Avocados’ load of phtytochemicals and antioxidants fight damage from the sun and the environment by reducing inflammation and DNA damage. People who eat diets rich in antioxidants as well as healthy fats have healthier, less wrinkly skin than people who eat the Standard American Diet (SAD) In addition, the healthy carotenoids in colorful veggies, including avocados add a rich, healthy golden glow to your skin And, because of the rich oils and vitamins in avocados, you can mash one up and use it as moisturizing, calming facial mask as well!

Avocados massive supply of phytonutrients including their polyphenols and flavenoids also help fight osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory degenerative diseases. Avocados growing popularity has created a serious worldwide craving for this buttery orb, so countries like Mexico and many other South American countries have been gearing up their production However, avocados especially American Hass avocados use more water than the South American varieties, so California avocados may be in short supply this year Rising demand and avocado prices are actually fueling illegal deforestation in some parts of the world, and drug and mafia cartels are at work to control the supply of this popular food. High demand and lowered supply may mean your favorite avo prices could rise Careful handling, a watchful eye that they don’t get overripe and knowing how to store your leftover avocado will help to prevent wasting these lovelies What About That Pit?

A study by Pennsylvania State University revealed that avocado pits, or seeds, have been used medicinally for generations Avocado pits in South American have been used as a treatment for inflammation, diabetes and hypertension This mostly unused element of the fruit contains phenolic compounds, which are known to prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease and other degenerative illnesses But beware, some food experts warn against eating the pits thinking that it may cause intestinal discomfort or other health issues More research is needed at this point on the detriments or benefits of eating the seeds of avocados.

Ideas to Use:

There are zillions of great avocado recipes out there if you prefer the quick and easy ones. Then the most favorite breakfast is to spread some ripe avocado on gluten-free (sourdough) toast, add a slice of natural ham, and a free-range egg cooked in grass-fed butter Divine! Great lowcarb, high-nutrient breakfast to fuel your day! The smoke point is the temperature at which an oil starts to break down and form compounds that can be extremely damaging to your health When it comes to cooking, you want to choose an oil with a high smoke point Avocado oil has a high smoke point of 520oF, which supports a long and healthy life It’s a smooth, buttery dark green oil that’s naturally produced in Mexico This is one of the only cooking oils in the world that isn’t diluted with “cancer oil ”

Healthiest cheese vs Worst cheese to never eat

I don't know about you, but I LOVE cheese! Who doesn't love quality aged European cheese with a glass of wine, or some high-quality parmesan on a meal, or a delicious slice of grass-fed cheddar on a burger?!

Although dairy has gotten a bad rap in recent years by misinformed journalists and influencers, the truth is that many types of cheese have a LOT of health benefits as long as you don't have lactose intolerance or a true dairy allergy (most people don't)

For example, most raw grass-fed cheeses are very nutrient-dense with vitamins and minerals and contain important nutrients such as vitamin K2, which has been shown in studies to prevent (and can even reverse) arterial calcification, thereby lowering heart disease risk.

This is one reason why the French have such low rates of heart disease despite eating large amounts of butter and cheese. Gouda is a type of cheese that's particularly high in arterycleaning vitamin K2!

Most aged cheeses or hard cheeses are surprisingly easy to digest as well, despite false myths that float around the internet.

This is because the fermentation and aging process of cheese helps make the protein more digestible and the microbes also consume the lactose, making aged cheeses very low lactose, or nearly lactose-free

Also, good quality raw grass-fed cheeses, as well as aged or hard cheeses contain healthy fats, such as butyrate (a gut-healing fat), and another healthy fat called CLA which can help you burn fat and has anti-cancer properties

So don't fear the fat in quality pasture-raised cheeses!

However, with all of this said about the GOOD nutritional qualities and delicious taste of the cheeses I mentioned above, there's ONE type of cheese I would NEVER EAT...

That type is processed American cheese or any processed cheese spread American cheese and other processed cheeses often contain inflammatory vegetable oils like canola oil, etc., and lots of other questionable ingredients that are not in real cheese I'd also avoid other fake cheeses such as Cheese Whiz-type spreads

If you want the health benefits of cheese, stick to quality grass-fed raw cheeses when you can find them, or aged European cheeses, which tend to be high quality

And don't forget to enjoy your cheese with a nice glass of red wine!

Good and Bad of 3 popular healthy foods –Peanut Butter, Spinach, and Almonds

If you been led to believe that peanut butter, almonds and spinach are good for you, today's email might shock you and is important to read, because these 3 healthy foods could be contributing to health problems in your body. Let's take a quick look at why...

1. Peanut butter

While peanut butter does contain a small amount of protein and vitamins/minerals, the cons outweigh the pros on this food. First of all, peanuts contain one of the highest concentrations of aflatoxin, which is a mold toxin that is created in peanuts due to storage in moist conditions.

Peanut butter is also very high in inflammatory omega-6 fats and due to the processing of peanut butter, those omega 6 fats are in a harmful oxidized state Most people already get too much omega 6 fats from vegetable oils (soy, corn, canola, etc), and this contributes to insulin resistance, heart disease, brain inflammation, cancer, and lots more health problems, since most people are currently eating 5-10x more omega-6 fats than we should be eating in a healthy diet

Lastly, peanut butter also contains medium amounts of oxalates, which are plant-based antinutrients that when consumed in excess can contribute to kidney stones, thyroid and gut problems, joint problems and more. We'll talk more about oxalates in the next food

2. Spinach

Spinach is promoted as a healthy green, but contains far more downsides than good sides. Spinach is one of the highest oxalate foods that's commonly eaten by modern humans (in addition to beet greens, beets, almonds, and other veggies and nuts)

The amount of oxalates in a serving of spinach is extremely high, up to 600 mg in a normal sized bowl The "safe" amount of oxalates in a daily diet according to world renowned oxalate expert Sally Norton should be between 100-200 mg per day total to avoid a lot of the health problems caused by high oxalate plants. So you can see how concerning spinach is with the extremely high oxalate levels

As mentioned above, eating too much oxalates too frequently can cause serious issues such as kidney stones, thyroid problems, gut damage, skin issues, and joint pain In fact, some people have even gotten "oxalate poisoning" by eating green smoothies too often and had to go to the ER for kidney failure.

3. Almonds

Although almonds and almond milk are marketed as healthy, they also contain many downsides, including all of the negatives mentioned above about too much omega 6 fats and too much oxalates. They're probably ok in your diet occasionally, but I personally avoid eating almonds too often because of these issues with excess oxalates and omega 6 fats.

Did you realize that a sharp knife is actually safer than using a dull knife?

It’s time to upgrade your kitchen and I don’t mean granite countertops and new appliances. Many people do not realize the simple pleasures of cooking and preparing food for themselves because they are using dull knifes, scratched up nonstick pans, and cheap utensils Cooking like that is drudgery No wonder so many people do not like cooking!

The world’s best chefs have a well-kept secret:

The method to produce high-quality dishes is all about the ‘tools’ used in the cooking process that transforms cooking into an easy, enjoyable, delicious activity I really cannot explain the ease and satisfaction of creating mouth-watering meals, when I use top-quality, sharp knives that slice like butter through any cut of meat, and every type of vegetable. And, using heavy-duty stainlesssteel pans that cook food evenly without burning or sticking, and having the perfect utensils that do all the work for you. Drudgery turns into pleasure

If you're looking for a sharp knife you can rely on, I recommend you check this out...

The official name is the Shinzo Chef Knife

But I call it a “Samurai knife” for the kitchen

It’s made with the same techniques ancient Japanese blacksmiths used to create samurai swords 1000 years ago. The samurai were the Japanese version of knights, and their blades were the sharpest the world has ever seen

If you’re frustrated with your kitchen knives getting dull, rusty, or nicked…

Or you have to saw your way through onions and you squish all your tomatoes

Then it’s time to replace your kitchen knives because

Sharper = Faster The Shinzo Chef Knife is 2x sharper than almost every Western knife out there – which means they cut twice as fast You can finish your food prep in 50% less time

Sharper = Easier If you’ve ever tried to cut an onion with a dull knife, you know it’s HARD

Shinzo Chef Knives cut through the toughest vegetables like they’re whipped cream

Sharper = Safer 95% of kitchen accidents are the result of dull knives You have to press down hard with dull knives – which means it’s likely you’re going to slip and cut yourself

Sharper saves you Money Shinzo Chef Knives are made of Damascus-style steel, so they keep their sharp edge for 50 years guaranteed Unlike other knives, your Shinzo Chef Knife won’t get dull, rusty, or nicked – so you’ll never have to buy a new knife again.

Turns

out paper towels can be used for more than just cleaning spills

We’re used to reaching for these handy helpers to sop up spills But there are more surprising uses for paper towels than you might think! Whether it’s patting chicken dry to get super crispy skin or seasoning a cast iron skillet with oil, paper towels come to the rescue in many different ways And we have a new brilliant use you may not have considered

As it turns out, paper towels can help you keep vegetables fresh! So as our home gardens grow, and as fresh produce becomes bountiful at our local markets, paper towels can help keep all the leafy greens and plump zucchini from going bad. No more limp spinach or rotten cucumbers for your salad!

How do I use paper towels to keep produce fresh?

Sometimes our produce goes bad faster than we can eat it, and it’s safe to say that no one likes throwing food away

It’s pretty simple all you have to do is line your crisper drawer with paper towels before you tuck your produce in there Then, replace the paper towels every time you add a new batch of produce This ensures that your vegetables stay fresher longer If you have a bag of lettuce or spinach that you’re trying to keep fresh, it can help to add a paper towel directly into the bag. It keeps the crisper drawer clean, too

How does this work?

Most fruits and vegetables, including kale and zucchini, release water over time This moisture has nowhere to go and gets trapped in the crisper drawer, leading to sad, brown produce Paper towels absorb the moisture, slowing the process of veggies falling limp. Now, you’ll have plenty of fresh veggies on hand to make all kinds of summer salads

It’s important to remember to change out the paper towels frequently; otherwise, they’ll get soggy from the absorbed moisture and not do their job of protecting your produce The short version is that the drier your produce is, the longer it will last

Strain grease from broth

Use a paper towel to absorb the fat that surfaces on the top of broths and soups. Here’s how: Place another pot in the sink Put a colander (or a sieve) in the new pot and put a paper towel in the colander. Now pour the broth through the towel into the waiting pot. You’ll find that the fat stays in the towel, while the cleaner broth streams through.

Clean silk from fresh corn

If you hate picking the silk off freshly husked ears of corn, then you’ll love this paper towel trick Dampen one and run it across the ear. The towel picks up the silk, and the corn is ready for the boiling pot or the grill

Empowering Lives through Financial Independence

In a world where uncertainties loom and financial landscapes shift so quickly, the concept of financial independence has become far more important than it used to be Being wise with our financial choices is not just a goal; it's a fundamental necessity to lead a fulfilling life

At its core, financial independence is the key to unlocking doors of opportunity and autonomy. It's about more than just accumulating wealth; it's the ability to make choices that align with our values, aspirations, and well-being

Why Financial Independence Matters

Financial independence isn't just for a reserved few; it's a universal aspiration. It's the stepping stone towards freedom to live life on our terms, unburdened by financial worries Whether you dream of starting a business, traveling the world, or simply enjoying a worry-free retirement, financial independence is the catalyst for bringing those dreams to reality.

Security In Uncertain Times

It is important to make informed decisions that align with our long-term goals, vision and aspirations Your financial journey should not only consider numbers required to achieve those goals but it should be a holistic approach considering the emotional and psychological aspects of your relationship with money. Your financial independence should act as a sturdy umbrella in the midst of storms From unexpected medical expenses to job losses, having a solid financial foundation provides the resilience needed at such times

Building Blocks of Financial Independence

1. Saving and Investing: Saving and investing wisely are the basic foundations of financial independence. Cultivating disciplined saving habits and making informed investment decisions build towards those financial goals

2. Continuous Learning: The financial landscape is ever-changing, and staying informed is key Continuously educating yourself about personal finance, investment options, and economic trends will lead you toward informed decisions

3. Mindful Spending: Mindful spending involves aligning expenses with personal values and life priorities. It's about distinguishing between needs and wants, just make sure your expenses are welltuned to your financial vision Mindful budgeting would help you towards this alignment.

In a world where financial landscapes can be unpredictable, cultivating financial independence becomes a powerful act of self-determination Being wise and achieving financial independence can be a journey, a lifelong commitment. By embracing this, you not only secure your future but also contribute to a world where everyone has an opportunity to thrive, flourish, and support each other. In today’s world, financial literacy is the currency of empowerment

Q1. The subject Geography is a wide subject engancing many countries seperately how did you develope a strong relatable passion with the subject and at what age was that?

I developed a strong passion for Geography at the age of 10. It all began when I started to watch georaphy videos online and discovered that it was a subject that resonated with me and found myself deeply intrigued by the diversity of countries and cultures around the world The more I learned, the more fascinated I became, and this passion continued to grow over time.

Interview with Parshva:

Q2. Knowing so many flags of so many countries is definitely a sheer talent that you have skilled, please tell us how did this passion started and gave you the inspiration to aim for the Guinness book of world records.

As I started exploring about different nations and their unique identities, flags became an integral part of understanding and so I dedicated myself watching and learning it online from youtube and reading books and exploring the globe and mapping the countries on globe was fun for me.

Nritya Yogini held at the City Hall Theatre

Sri Shakti Academy, Hong Kong celebrated 20 years of its existence, last month. Nritya Yogini held at the City Hall Theatre on the 28th of April, was a celebration of many events blended into one While it was a celebration of the 20 years of the academy, it also marked the transformations of the lives of its founders. The two hours program showcased how years of dedicated practice have transformed their arts into their spirituality This transformation was prominently felt throughout the program Nritya Yogini began with the Devi Stuti by the Gurus In pristine white costumes against the black background with snow white spotlights, this performance was a devotional invocation of the Devi An Odissi composition by Guru Raka Maitra, thereafter, demonstrated the masculine and feminine co-dwelling in the body of a dancer. The layered spectrum of expressions known as Rasa, in the Indian Natya Shastra, was flawlessly showcased by Guru Priyadarshini Shome through her Mohiniattam composition Thereafter, Guru Neesha Jhaveri offered her soulful renditions of Shiv Tandav Stotra and Shakti Tandav Stotra with jugalbandi through Tabla Tarang in between, to highlight their fusion into oneness A symbolic Tarana in the end hinted at the passing of legacy from a Guru to her Shishyas This composition was performed by some of the senior Kathak students of the academy along with the Gurus.

Two decades ago, its founding members- Neesha Jhaveri, Ranjini Menon, Nilima Bhat and Priyadarshini Ghosh Shome started this dance company with the sole objective of dancing. They have moved to Hong Kong with their years of experience in Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Yoga and Mohiniattam respectively The dance company provided them with a platform to showcase their experiences to the larger audience in Hong Kong while at the same time, attracting students, young and old for training It was in April, 2003 that its first production, Panchbhoota went on stage at the same venue- City Hall Theatre As an ode to their first production, they were joined once again after 20 years, by Odissi dancer, Raka Maitra and vocalist Jayaram. In this celebration- Nritya Yogini, the connoisseurs of art in Hong Kong, many of whom were present for their first performance, witnessed their transition from nartakis to yoginis, from the physical to the metaphysical.

Sri Shakti Academy in the initial years of its existence, offered classes for different Indian classical dance forms. But in alignment with the nature of its location in Hong Kong, the academy also witnessed departure of most of its founding members as well as students, to their life’s callings The responsibility to keep the academy running fell into the shoulders of its Kathak exponent, Guru Neesha Jhaveri

With passing time, and with the departure of the other founders, the Academy became synonymous with its Kathak wing Guru Neesha Jhaveri has been on a relentless mission to spread the grace and beauty of a lesser traded Janki Prasad Gharana of Banaras which is treasured for its unique characteristics such as Natawari dance syllables that cannot be played on the table, the use of heels, and abhinaya- both Saatvika and Angika, which were started by the exponents of the Gharana

Running this academy has not been without its challenges Though Hong Kong has a significant number of Indian populations, the opportunities for Indian classical dances have been scant The difficulties in finding venues for performances, finding sponsorship for the programs and organizing shows while dancing at the same time has not been easy for one person alone But Guru Neesha ji says that the students and their families have worked as a team which has helped the Academy perform in many local and international events over the years.

Looking back at twenty years of its existence, the Academy trains ,pre than 75 students at present In 2023, it started its Indian folk wing which has strengthened the growth of the academy further Thus, despite the struggles that the academy has faced, it continues to grow, with the growth of its students and with the increased curiosity and appreciation of Indian classical dance, in Hong Kong Besides Indian population, many other residents of Hong Kong flock to the shows organized by the Academy in the current years Not only are they among the audience, but the academy also has many non-Indian students who have embraced kathak with devotion and curiosity

With its future prospects of original productions and collaboration with other institutions including dance companies, Sri Shakti Academy has resolved to undertake this lifelong journey to dance and to help others dance and discover the bliss of uniting body, mind and soul as an everyday phenomenon.

They also need to take into account their studies Musical theatre is known as a triple threat for actors because actors must be able to act, dance, and sing at the same time In addition to strengthening their artistic attainments, students in this training also develop good habits such as self-discipline, responsibility, and punctuality, and develop good character After participating in the program, some students understand time management and learn how to relieve stress correctly, which can play a role in their entire study and life.

Yan Cuifang, General Manager of the Academy of Performing Arts and Producer of the 2024 musical "The Musical", believes that musicals can help students grow: "The most special thing about "The Music" is that although the participants are local school students, they come from all over the world. We have visually impaired students, ethnic minorities, new immigrants, etc They all have a passion for musical theatre performances and productions I saw that they have been fully engaged in the rehearsals during the Easter holiday, and their consciousness has improved, and they are not afraid of making mistakes , and also know how to help each other within the team to maximize the performance.”

It was widely praised by the audience and became a favorite! Of course, the students' abilities also need to reach a certain level Gao Shizhang said that he regards the students as professional actors: "I don't deliberately compose simple songs or lower the requirements because they are middle school students or newcomers I want them to do their best "

Co-director & musical choreographer: Zhang Yueying | Co- director Zhang Kaiting

This year's musical has a new breakthrough. It is co-directed by Zhang Kaiting and Zhang Yueying Although Zhang Kaiting is a new director in the theatre, she has an early connection with "Fen Qing Music and Road":

"I once watched the first "Fen Qing Music" as an audience member "Music and Road" performance, I was studying drama directing at the Academy of Performing Arts. At that time, I saw such a high-level production and hoped to have the opportunity to participate in such a musical production after graduation

Unexpectedly, my dream can come true now I am very lucky to have this opportunity to collaborate this time I hope that this time I will direct "Fen Qing Le and Lu" to bring out more of the "endurance" feeling in the play and make it fresh for the audience."

Inherited one generation at a time

In addition to the main creative team, the musical "Fen Qing Le and Lu" also has a group of outstanding mentors to guide it This year's tutor team includes some professionals who have mentoring relationships with previous tutors. There are even students who were once the first musical students who have become this year's mentors "The spirit of "The Musical" will be passed down, the deeper meaning of the musical will be continued, and the performance experience and inspiration will be shared with the new generation of students.

Yang Enhua, a student of Xingguang Blind Hospital and School who participated in the first musical, is now a student of the School of Music of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. This year, he has transformed into a senior brother to assist this year's students: "Participated in musicals for 17 years At that time, my eyesight was deteriorating Fortunately, I had a group of companions who helped me get through the low point in my life. Therefore, I want to continue to pass on this spirit of mutual support to the students participating in the musical this year ”
