The newest season of Bridgerton introduces a trio of actresses whose journeys are deeply connected to the city of Hong Kong.

Katie Leung (@_katieleung_), born in Scotland to a Hong Kong father and raised between Edinburgh and frequent trips back to the city, steps into the role of Lady Araminta Gun after first charming audiences worldwide as Cho Chang in Harry Potter. Years before corsets and courtship, she was already navigating East-West identity on a global stage.

Then there’s Isabella Wei (@izabearlur), born and raised in Hong Kong and educated at Chinese International School. A former dancer with the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation, she once competed at the Dance World Cup before pivoting to acting almost by accident, landing a role in Netflix’s 1899 and later appearing in The Crow and Black Doves. Now, as Posy Li, winning over audiences in a Cinderella storyline.

Michelle Mao (@michelleforbreakfast), who plays Rosamund Li, was born in Tennessee and raised between Hong Kong and Beijing. With formal theatre training and experience spanning international film and television, her cross-cultural background adds layered depth to the sisterhood within the Regency society.

With different upbringings but all tied to Hong Kong, these three are bringing a bit of the city to one of Netflix’s biggest series.

Remember your first avatar? In the early-2000s, Chinese teens were already dressing up their digital selves on QQ Show: a virtual space where fashion, socializing, and a bit of bragging collided.

Licensed from Korea‘s SayClub and localized by Tencent, QQ Show （QQ秀) became China’s first monetized digital fashion platform. Players bought outfits, sent wearable gifts, and collaborated with brands. Blingeecore, emo, edgy streetwear...styles that feel at home on the internet today were already cycling through this tiny pixelated screen two decades ago.

Now, revived by @kayzeng777 , QQ Show is back in the conversation. Beyond nostalgia, it‘s a reminder that fashion, culture, and play have always collided online, long before anyone said “metaverse“ or “digital fashion.“

“Adding my bit of nostalgia for my Y2K childhood to the internet.“ - @kayzeng777

Unitree’s newest robot dog, the As2, just arrived... and it’s already living in the uncanny valley. It plays tennis. It can carry up to 65kg. It sprints at 11mph over rocky terrain with a gait that people are already calling “nightmare creature” energy. And honestly? They’re not wrong.

Under the hood, there’s an 8-core CPU and an intelligent follow system that tracks you with centimeter-level precision. Developers can even hook it up to AI models for who-knows-what experiments. Cool? Absolutely. A little unsettling? Also yes.

The As2 handles stairs, slopes, extreme temps, and half-meter vertical platforms like it’s nothing. Rain or shine, this thing keeps moving. It’s fast. It’s strong. It’s smart. And watching it run down a mountain feels like watching something from a sci-fi thriller where the machines finally decide they don’t need us anymore.

March 3rd is Lantern Festival. In China, lanterns have always been about making wishes, passing down wisdom, and imagining the future. But recently, Big Mac joined the group chat in a creative way.

@mcdonalds partnered with @bazaarchinaofficial and heritage inheritors to bring four traditional lantern designs to life. But what actually caught people‘s attention was what happened offline.

After you order a burger, you can read the wishes that strangers left. Some are sincere. Some are painfully real. Of course, some people got creative about it.

It’s kind of interesting to watch brands collaborate with intangible cultural heritage like this. It keeps bringing more young people closer to the culture. And the designs are always beautiful.

There is not much of a storyline, mostly just free exploration, with limited ways to interact with objects. Basically, this game only shows footage of millennium China. But countless people who finished it came away feeling deeply moved.

Because with the rapid advancement of technology and everything around us, it seems like anything you want can be reached within 30 minutes. Millennium Dream (千禧梦) goes in the opposite direction. Here, there are no intense battles, only a quiet, still gaze at time gone by.

Sometimes you just want to spend an afternoon waking up inside a dream, finding yourself back in the millennium era, while parents call from the kitchen to say dinner is ready.

Feeling nostalgic just writing this post.
