- On the 29th, the second press conference for Stellar Entertainment was held
in Hong Kong, announcing South Korean actress Song Hye-kyo has joined the company.

was shown during the press conference.
   
Video from the press conference .
Michelle's welcome message is at 00:23 - 00:36, in Cantonese and English.
She said she could not come to the event since she's in Africa.
Michelle had been in South Africa for a week for the
Make Roads Safe
global campaign. South African news reported that she was in Johannesburg
on Thursday attending an Automobile Association event and also did some filming
in Cape Town.
"I must thank the FIA foundation for having this Make Roads Safe campaign and for making me a
global ambassador because it has opened my eyes to the reality of the problems we face.
I have come to understand how complacent we have all been, particularly myself," said Michelle,
"I have seen the most horrendous sites where children, pedestrians are facing death sentences
practically every day. I hope that, together with the FIA, we will be able to wave a big
enough flag in the face of authorities to do more in terms of road planning and implementation of laws."

[AN UPDATE TO NOTICE from June 3]
First, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been concerned about
my friend Wen in China, regardless of whether you have written to me...
After a month of being detained at the Haidian Detention Station, Wen
has been transferred to the Haidian Detention Center and
she was given a sentence for two years in a forced labor camp (aka. Re-education
Through Labor, which is a way for the government to lock people up
without the need for charges or a trial). Her family members have not received
any legal documentation for the arrest/detention and they were denied the
right to visit her. Wen has 60 days to appeal but still, it is
extremely difficult to find a lawyer in China who dares to defend Falun Gong
due to their own safety concerns. If anyone happens to have information
and can help with getting a lawyer (doesn't have to speak Chinese) who
is willing to help with the case, please
contact me.
Initially I had trouble collecting information from China due to the
safety concerns for the people I contacted - there in China, phones are bugged,
letters are opened, internet/e-mails are censored, and plain clothes police
are everywhere. After a few weeks we have managed to build a safe way
to communicate and I have collected materials I need in order to present
the case to related officials, groups, and organizations. Old classmates
and friends of Wen and I in China or overseas have been notified and many of them
have been trying to help.
Some friends here have showed concern for my own safety (thanks!!). Just to let
everyone know I will be all right. I'm not going back to China in the near
future.
A person who came out from the police station brought a message from Wen.
This time when at the detention station she had a relatively "easy" time.
Back in 2001, police and their collaborators tortured and assaulted her
intensively in order to force her to sign a "guarantee" to never again practice
Falun Gong. Now after nearly nine years of the persecution, although
there are still many ongoing cases of torture and even death documented,
more and more Chinese have realized Falun Gong practitioners are good people and the
persecution is wrong. This time police and other prisoners were
actually nice toward her. From this change, I see the hope for China!
Again, please help support the
Millions of Signature Global Campaign,
and help stop the brutal persecution. The deadline for signing is July 20th, which
is the 9th anniversary of the beginning of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners,
which, should not have been allowed to have started in the first place.
