Jessica Shell came from Russia, but she calls herself “Fake Gwei-Mui (western girl)” on social media. She even gives herself a Chinese name. A part-time model, she came to Hong Kong from Russia six years ago and fell in love with the city. She likes the way of life and the environment here. She enjoys Cantopop, and is more local than many locals. Jessica adores a local boy band, and becomes mesmerised with Cantonese. She understands Cantonese but cannot speak the language. She hopes to learn more about the essence of Cantonese and its slang, but she finds Cantonese courses available are too simple. She wishes there were more in-depth programmes so she can learn more than the basics of Cantonese. Jessica aspires to be an actor, as well as “be a real part of Hong Kong”.

Award: Chief Executive’s Award for Teaching Excellence (General Studies) School: HKUGA Primary School Awardees: Wong Wai-chung General Studies covers a broad curriculum, including humanities, history, science and technology. To help students grasp these diverse concepts, Mr. Wong Wai-chung implements innovative teaching methods that integrate General Studies with other subjects, creating cross-disciplinary learning opportunities. He connects learning to students’ daily life to deepen understanding. For example, students can apply their knowledge in real-world contexts through community service projects. Mr Wong also replaces traditional textbooks with picture books, fostering a schoolwide reading culture while making lessons more engaging. He believes the progressive, year-by-year community service modules systematically build students’ confidence and independent learning skills—cultivating strong values alongside academic knowledge.

Cappadocia is a must-visit spot for any traveller in Turkey, bursting with dreamlike scenery and a touch of romance. Vicky and Meka finally fulfil their wish of riding in a hot air balloon, drifting through the sky to take in the magical landscape of Cappadocia’s “fairy chimneys”. Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions buried this region in ash, and, over time, wind and erosion sculpted layers of canyons and caves. People cleverly carved fortresses into the rocks for defence, and built underground cities for safety—leaving behind the moving stories of Christians hiding to escape persecution. The name “Cappadocia” comes from the Persian “Katpatuka”, meaning “the land of beautiful horses”. Embracing local traditions, Vicky and Meka ride gentle horses through the valleys, brushing past cave churches and ending their adventure on a dreamy note as the sun sets.

The standard of athletes from Hong Kong, China, has been improving in recent years. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, athletes won two gold medals and two bronzes, achieving their best results since they began competing. Amidst the applause, differing opinions have emerged regarding athlete selection and elite sports funding. What issues exist within the selection system, and how are elite sports determined? What other possibilities exist for developing promising sports into Hong Kong's soft power?

Formerly employed by illegal loggers or illegal gold miners, Fernando Bezerra has decided to give up everything to take part in the fight for the preservation of the lung of the planet: the Amazon. The missions of this Brazilian pilot are as varied as they are vital: monitoring deforestation, protecting indigenous communities, emergency medical evacuations and, more recently, participating in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic ...

In April, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council announced that after more than ten years, M+ will no longer be overseeing Hong Kong’s entry to the Venice Biennale. The Hong Kong Museum of Art will take over for the 2026 biennale and will be presenting the work of several artists selected from a 200-strong list. Trevor Yeung was Hong Kong’s entry in the 60th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2024. His entry is now being presented at M+ in a reconfigured form. Originally from Shenyang in China, Li Hei Di is now based in London. “Tongues of Flare” is Li’s first solo exhibition with the Pace Gallery. The exhibition features 11 new paintings and a wooden sculpture, exploring Li’s ruminations on sexuality, monstrosity and transfiguration. The “Hong Kong Artists” series organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department is a group of concerts that highlight local music talents. This year, the series includes six programmes that feature local musicians. Among them is violinist Nina Wong, who’ll be performing with pianist Shelley Ng. They’re with us right now.

Although locally produced fishery and agricultural products account for only a small proportion of total consumption, local products are still particularly appealing to many consumers. In the face of high production costs, a shortage of talent, land scarcity, and pressures for upgrading and transformation, how can the local fishery and agricultural sector overcome these challenges and continue to operate?

"March of the volunteers", the national anthem of China, is related to the bravery of Chinese young people resisting Japan's aggression of China. It was originally the theme song of the movie "Sons and Daughters in a Time of Storm" which depicts the heroic stories of young Chinese marching to the front line to defend their country against Japanese aggression. Hong Kong is part of China. The National Anthem Ordinance came into force in June 2020.
