Highlights in the entertainment sector: Hong Kong's first high-profile transgender singer-songwriter, Xavian Wu, uses the LGBTQ Pink Dot HK carnival to share his musical journey. Meanwhile, actor Zhu Jian contributes to the disruption of China's movie industry through micro dramas, aiming to shake Hollywood norms.

Hong Kong's first high-profile transgender singer-songwriter, Xavian Wu, utilized the annual LGBTQ Pink Dot HK carnival to narrate his story through music. Wu, known on stage as SY, debuted in February and shared three songs that chronicle his self-discovery journey during the carnival's 10th anniversary.

In another significant shift in the entertainment industry, micro dramas are reshaping China's robust film sector.

The narrative of his latest project involves discovering that his servant is actually his biological granddaughter. This emerging trend in Chinese cinema aims to challenge and redefine the norms set by Hollywood.
