WACKO AT LAW (王牌辯護人)

If you are up for solving mind boggling cases and detective plot then I highly recommend this drama.

It takes not just one but more than two heads to solve cases. Thus it requires not only wit and talent but also resources and connection.

I loved the unity and teamwork of everyone in the Zhenlu Law office.

Mai Daiqi showed exemplary skills and talent in uncovering the truth. His mental capacity was beyond the normal capacity of a normal human being due to a certain medication called L365 which was also part of the mysteries he wanted to solve.

The drama can be very predictable at times but there was a never a dull moment.

Yu Xin was learning a lot under the mentorship of Mai Dai Qi.

Each character on the show have their own part in solving the cases.

Wan Ting is like the central character since everything is related to her. Starting from the Mo Household where her mother is hailed as the respectable Madame Mo.

But where was Liu Yanping during the time Wan Ting was berated by the public due to an audition issue. Yet the only time she decided to appear on Wan Ting's life was because of the lost painting.

Wu Jing Tao once cared about winning all the time and used tricks to win in court but he finally realized that he needs to do something noble.

I don't want to spoil the whole series nonetheless the culprit was caught and in the end there are still dirty laundry that is left unspilled.

The drama focuses more on solving the cases and less romance.But Mai Daiqi and Yu Xin were such a lovely pair.

Wang Ke Rong truly deserves an award for his big contribution in helping the Zhen Lu office.

The ending was just a bit rushed.

I truly commend the cast for their acting and hats off for another good drama this year.

The reemergence of Faye Wong (2010)

By Xing Daiqi

For the tens of millions of hardcore Faye Wong fans, January 6 was a date to remember – the Chinese pop diva released her first track after a very noticeable five-year absence.

Wong’s return came in the form of a film soundtrack, the theme song for the upcoming epic Confucius.

Titled You Lan Cao, Wong’s lilting vocals are now available on Confucius’ official website, a biopic by renowned Chinese director Hu Mei (Yongzheng Reign) and starring Chow Yun-Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Zhou Xun (The Message).

You Lan Cao features a strong Chinese style and melodious tune. Consisting of only 64 Chinese characters, the lyrics have been adapted from Tang Dynasty literati Han Yu’s eulogy on orchids, which commemorates the great philosopher Confucius.

“The ethereal and sublime voice of Faye Wong bridges the beauty of the mortal world and heaven,” director Hu Mei said on Confucius’ website.

The pop queen explained that her decision to return to performing was due to the film’s subject matter.

“The production Confucius is especially important in our age where negative information and attitudes prevail,” Wong commented on the website. “It reminds us of the power of faith and inner strength. I’m honored to be part of it and hope everyone can benefit from the film.”

For the last two decades, Faye Wong’s signature feather-light, haunting vocals and rebellious yet innocent individualistic image have enthralled audiences the world over. From Chinese ballads to Old School Soul, Rock'n'Roll, New Age and R&B, she is known for fusing Eastern musical philosophy with Western beats.

Smash hits such as Fragile Woman, The Red Bean, I’m Willing and To Love, have seen Wong soar up the music charts many times over.

“Her songs were of great inspiration every time I took an exam in my school days,” recalled singer Gigi Leung in an article on baidu.com. “Her song is always on my list at KTV. I can only describe her unique stage image as soul-shaking.”

Faye Wong was the first Chinese pop singer to be featured on the cover of Time magazine, in 1996. The publication dubbed her Diva of Pop, attracting international media attention and causing several magazines to follow suit.

She was also listed by Guinness World Records as topping the Best Selling Canto-Pop Female list in March 2000 with sales of 9.7 million albums.

Born in Beijing in 1969, Wong inherited a talent for music from her mother, who was a soprano with Beijing Railway Art Troupe. At age 15, she released several low-budget albums by imitating Chinese ballad sensation Teresa Teng.

Moving to Hong Kong with her family in 1987, Wong launched her musical career and shot to fame with the 1992 album Coming Home. The single Fragile Woman from this album became a No. 1 hit and was named Song of the Year by TVB, a major television station in Hong Kong, securing her stardom.

In the following years, four best-selling albums, 18 concerts and her role in Wong Kai-wai’s award-winning film Chungking Express made her one of the most prominent female performers in China. Her popularity soon spread throughout Asia and in March 1999, she held two concerts in the revered Nippon Budokan in Japan, becoming the first Chinese singer to perform at the venue.

Wong continued her sweep across Asia, finding increased popularity in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Wang married mainland actor Li Yapeng in 2005 and during her last Guangzhou concert the same year, she said, “If I stop singing one day, I would quit all publicity from my side and I hope everyone will forget me.”

Her wish in no way came true, Wong was a prime target of the paparazzi during her five-year hiatus. Media speculation about her return never ceased.

“Faye Wong has the most distinctive voice of her own,” commented famous singer and actor Jacky Cheung in an interview with Phoenix TV. “Her absence is a loss for the industry. Her comeback is anticipated by everyone.”

While her return to the music arena has been applauded by fans and critics alike, many are questioning her motives.

“To say the choice of Faye Wong as the singer of the theme song without commercial consideration would by hypocritical,” a Confucius producer was quoted by ifeng.com as saying, adding that, “her voice is perfect for the song.” Internet rumors are rife, speculating Wong is now set to become the richest Chinese female singer, ever.
