The 42-year-old, who was filming the drama The Rebel Princess, tripped and fell after her dress caught on one of the pillars on set.

Zhang, who was rushed to hospital for treatment, was back on set just four days later with her left arm in a sling.

“I’ll be able to do cartwheels soon,” she quipped.

Many Internet users have since praised Zhang for her professionalism. According to a post by Zhang’s husband Wang Feng, her shoulder had yet to fully recover.

> A man in Sungai Petani, Kedah, surprised his wife with a bouquet of 999 roses for her birthday, which required five men and a lorry to deliver, reported Sin Chew Daily.

According to the florist Chai Jen Li, the bouquet, which weighed 100kg and cost RM6,000, needed to be handled with care during transportation.

A viral video showed the bouquet being unloaded from the back of a lorry, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers.

Chai said the customer who bought the roses kept a low profile, always ordering flowers by phone.

“This is the largest order I’ve had in the eight years since I started my business,” she told the daily.

Chai said when she got the call, her shop did not have enough roses.

“I had to call suppliers in Penang for more stock and hire three temporary workers to help with the job. After receiving the roses, we began work at 6am the next day,” she said.

“We started with removing the thorns and cutting the roses before spending another five hours to complete the bouquet,” she said, adding that the 999 roses would have cost RM10,000 on Valentine’s Day.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, Chai said sales at her shop had risen by 20% this Valentine’s Day.

> China Press reported that a seven-year-old girl in China’s Henan province had her wish “fulfilled” after telling her mother that she would rather herd sheep than finish her homework.

The girl, who was spending the winter holidays at her mother’s village, refused to do her homework despite her mother’s nagging.

When she said she would rather herd sheep than do her homework, her mother brought her to a farm on Feb 18 and told her to “go ahead”.

“Make sure to count the sheep properly.

“Don’t lose any of them or else, we’ll have to compensate the owner,” said the mother.

It was then that the girl started to cry and agreed to go home and finish her homework.
