Thousands of pink clad girls take to the streets in China
Thousands of ladies were decked out in pink in China on Saturday to advocate women’s health, fitness and having confidence in yourself.
Around 3000 women took to the streets to take part in the half marathon Pink Run in South China’s Xiamen City.
The run, themed “caring for women”, was composed of three parts:a half-marathon, a mini-marathon and a pink-ribbon run.
Men were also allowed to attend the event… well, as wait staff for the ladies. But they didn’t seem to mind, those finishing the race were welcomed with cheers from the gentlemen watching.
In the end, Xie Qianhe, a player from Taipei, was the first passing the finishing line.

Out of the Ordinary - Spectacular Craft at the V&A: Lu Shengzhong
This joint V&A and Crafts Council exhibition featured eight international artists who place meticulous craftsmanship at the heart of their work. On display were unusual and beautifully crafted installations. The artists take inspiration from the everyday, transforming their subjects using traditional techniques in unexpected ways.
Lu Shengzhong is a professor at the China Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. While studying art in the 1980s he became interested in how ancient crafts such as paper cutting are integrated into everyday life in rural China.
His installations feature thousands of repeated figures, all meticulously hand-cut with scissors and scalpels from red tissue paper. Red symbolises good luck in China, and this type of paper is commonly used in celebrations such as weddings and New Year. By cutting each small figure by hand, Lu Shengzhong makes each one slightly different, unique. This manual process enables him to use both the positive and the negative paper cut-outs in the work.
'I use paper to cut this little red figure to demonstrate the delicate fragility of human beings. Ephemeral. A human's life is shorter than a paper's thickness. The material is not important. What is more important is the process you use to create that material. This is more valuable to me.'
