DESPITE being married for 15 years, Hong Kong actor-singer Karen Mok said her relationship with her husband remained as sweet as it was when they first fell in love, reported China Press.
Mok was recently spotted holding hands with her German husband, Johannes Natterer, while on holiday in Europe.
They were there to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary.
Mok said she was doing well, thanks to the nourishment she drew from being in love. Jokingly, she added that she felt as if they were still teenagers in love.
After their European holiday, Mok said she would return to Hong Kong to start recording her new album with her four-man band, The Masters.
She also expressed regret that her concert, which was scheduled for December 2025 at Kai Tak Stadium, was cancelled following the massive fire at Wang Fuk Court.
> A neighbour in Fujian, China, risked his life to save a young girl who was on the verge of falling from a 12th-floor apartment, using a stool to prop her up, reported China Press.
The three-year-old, who was believed to be looking for her parents, had fallen out of a window, leaving her head trapped between two window grilles.
Footage shared online showed the girl, dressed in pink, dangling precariously by her head from the 12th floor on Oct 17.
Realising the danger, a neighbour living on the floor below grabbed a stool and climbed out of his own window to support the girl and prevent her from slipping further.
Firefighters soon broke into the flat and rescued the girl, bringing the ordeal to an end.
