The stars arrived stylishly in a boat, waving to onlookers and photographers waiting on the shore of Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong.
The “Lust, Caution” famous and respectable star, Tony Leung said that there was a reason why he wanted to challenge himself to do comedy, even after he received countless accolades for his successful role of the Kung Fu master Ye Wen in “The Grandmaster.” “Basically after ‘The Grandmaster’ I don’t plan on shooting any more dramas. So I’ve been filming comedies. I think from here on now, the audience will see me more in comedies.”
In “See You Tomorrow,” Leung plays a bar owner, who’s also in the business of helping people to get back on their feet from failed marriages to falling out of love. Leung said that the role might be a far off from his past characters, but it’s a type of role that the fans will see more of from now on. He said, “I think audiences don’t get to see me in comedies a lot. I’ve spent a long time shooting dramas, so people think I’m very serious. I think people will see a huge contrast in the film.”
Co-star Eason Chan said that even though they’re old pals off screen, once they stepped onto the film set, it was strictly business. “ We could be in character instantly, that is ,the moment we arrived on set, we were the characters. So people asked us, ‘did you guys talk a lot when the cameras weren’t rolling?’ Not really because we were really into our characters. The mood on set was serious, relaxing but we were much focused. The film also stars Sandrine Pinna, Taiwan Hankaneshiro and Angela Baby.” said Eason. It is planned to be screened in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland over the Christmas period.

I had a life on the go. I was always hurried into the next stuff, but this time I was to date with the girl I cared for deeply, so I had to be on time. I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as he paid for her groceries. A PhD student without a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and I returned her gift by smiling back.
“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.
“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. “It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”
“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said. “My husband used to bring me flowers every week - even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and —of course — I miss him since he’s passed away.”
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know, These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening, “ I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to many me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her — that was the night that I won her heart.

Battling another cough or cold? 1. You may feel better if you take a daily walk or follow a simple exercise routine a few times a week. Exercise helps decrease your chances of developing heart disease. It also helps keep your bones healthy and strong.
We do not know exactly if or how exercise increases your immunity (免疫) to certain illnesses. There are several theories. 2. Some of these theories are as follows:
Physical activity may help move bacteria (细菌) out of the lungs and airways. 3.
The brief rise in body temperature during and right after exercise may prevent bacteria from growing. This temperature rise may help the body fight against infection (传染) better.
4. Some stress increases the chance of illness. Lower stress hormones（荷尔蒙）may protect against illnesses.
Exercise is good for you. 5. Studies have shown that people who follow a moderately (适度地) energetic lifestyle, benefit most from starting and sticking to an exercise program. So go ahead, take an aerobics class or go for a walk. You will feel better and healthier for it.
A.Feeling tired all the time?
B.Have you taken a walk today?
C.However, you should not overdo it.
D.However, none of them have been proven.
E.Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones.
