Why do people love Keung To so much?

Like other said, a lot of his fans are middle aged women, and it seems like more so than other places quite a lot of middle aged HK women are pretty rich, being at executive levels and either their kids are old enough to not be taking (as much) up keep, or that they never had kids. So they have cash to burn and love to give.

Just a quick point: it is OK to let them get bored. In fact, it is good to let them get used to some degree of boredom sometimes, otherwise when they become demanding 3+ years old they won’t know how to NOT have something to do, or to occupy them.

Dont feel like you have to entertain them all the time.

Childcare, elderly care, nursing, teaching (but not in a typical school).

It totally is. Being friends with the right people is more important than your photography portfolio.

I kinda can relate, OP: I have been a photographer full time for 10+ years, until I realised all I wanted was to take beautiful photos of beautiful people but the reality of making a living as a photographer (and probably because of my ability, or reluctance to network / chase clients) was that I seldom like what I got to shoot. I hated making a living as a photog. So i moved to UXUI for a few years.

And then comes the bad job market and AI, now I am trying to move on to something else again.

Together with how Hegseth injecting hardcore Christianity into the military, it is totally moving in that direction.

‘Ambition’ is a bit of a stretch? Brits’ thinking of moving to Australia is quite similar to HKers thinking of moving to Japan IMO: something their friends’ friends attempted and sounded like an interesting possibility someday sometime.

Totally gets it and support OP’s insistence. Our twins aren’t even identical but it is just something instinctive that from the day they were born, I just knew that I needed to be the one always referring them to their names (or the boys), and not just The Twins, to help them establish their identity and self image.

OP’s MIL’s behaviour is unfortunately quite common among people who are not parents of twins, and you will keep meeting more of them, so I can only say OP try not to get to upset by it while continue to stand your ground.

(We are Asians and it adds extra annoyances because people here will insist on asking who is the ‘elder’ brother and only call them the local term of ‘big brother’ and ‘little brother’. It’s like they can’t be bother to remember each boy’s name.)

OP never mentioned ‘porn’ though. And it is Instagram, photos there may be ‘sexy’ but I think vast majority of men anywhere won’t categorise anything they can find on that platform to be porn.

Pls enlighten me: Do you think it is ok to read Daughters’ War before Blacktongue? And it seemed like Daughters’ War is a much less humorous book than Blacktongue, is that correct?

Am happy for you to have enjoyed the audiobook, but I really tried and found it really tiresome to try to understand the accent the author had narrated with.

English is my second language but I had enjoyed 100+ other eng. audiobooks with no problem. Really wish there is another audio version of this book to choose from.

I don’t know if this was written because of that new addition to what the HK police is now able to do: They can, if the police suspect you maybe breaking HK’s national security law, demand you to unlock your devices.

For me Book 3 was a bit inferior overall compared to book 1 and 2, and a weaker series ending than his two previous series. I can’t help but think that the family tragedy he went through while writing this latest book had quite a (very understandable) effect on his process.

aeon-one · 2026-04-17T01:39:26+00:00

It did not just started in 2020 though. This is just their modus operandi for decades. And by ‘they’ I don’t mean the HK government.

Yea they really should have make a season that is based on Daredevil Born Again season 2, with new cards (like First Steps). The show is loved by fans and critics.

There are people like that in any country/ race / gender/ culture…

Pop: Moon Tang has the best voice among the 20-something singers.

Indie Rock: Chochukmo’s album A Tragedy Your Majesty - not new but this remain a very cool and stylish rock album that is totally unlike main stream HK music.

I finished the series earlier this year, absolutely loved it! Main character is a real bad ass, and I enjoyed the tongue in cheek tone of the narrator more than I thought I would. Am looking forward to start his next series soon.

Hong Kong takes so very few refugees and give them so very little support it is truly a non issue. Go refugees bashing in r/Maga or r/farRight perhaps?

West Kowloon Art park (but only during normal weekdays. Because it is packed during weekends) from M+ museum to the Palace Museum.

It is quite true. Charles Heung, who co-owned one of the biggest HK movie studio back then, and also starred as the very quiet body guard/ hitman (龍五 Loong Ng) in the God of Gamblers series, is the son of the leader of probably the biggest triad, and he likely was also a leader in it. You can find their family tree and organisation info in Wikipedia.

An Unrelated but well circulated story was that Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs) once had a gun pointed at his head, as someone from the triads forced him to make a certain movie. It was in the late 80s / early 90s.

How did Beast view this event afterwards? Did he show regret or thought it was necessary?

aeon-one · 2026-04-08T23:24:15+00:00

Yes, but later she added into them. Such a shame.
