✨On 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 this week, Cruzanne Macalligan speaks with Mui Thomas — rugby referee, yoga instructor, runner, and one of the world's oldest known survivors of harlequin ichthyosis.

Born in Hong Kong, Mui has spent her life defying expectations. From rugby pitches and half-marathons to yoga teaching, public advocacy and helping others with rare skin conditions find confidence and community, she has built a life defined by movement, humour, resilience and visibility.

In her conversation wtih Cruzanne, Mui reflects on growing up visibly different in Hong Kong, navigating stigma and cyberbullying, the importance of mental health support, finding belonging, and why "normal is a myth."

Join Chloe Feng and Brian Wong this week as they discuss the recent heartwarming film, titled “Dear You” or “給阿嬤的情書” that premiered quietly in late April with no major promotion. Yet over the past few weeks, it has steadily gained national attention, quietly climbing to an impressive average rating of 9.1 out of 10 on Douban, China's leading review platform -making it the highest-rated film released in the country so far this year.

The low-budget film is centred on Qiaopi, letters containing money that overseas Chinese sent home via parallel traders or couriers in the past, and this has sparked reflection and nostalgia-especially among overseas Chinese who once sought their fortunes in Southeast Asia.

So just what made the film so special? And what's Qiaopi all about? Chloe and Brian will be joined by Professor Lawrence Pang, founding president of the Academy of Chinese Wisdom and Management.

Saturdays at 8:30am… only on Radio 3!
