For actor Guo Weiqiang, anniversaries are less about ceremony than reflection.

Local Story, Global Voice: When Silence Speaks Loudest
In a society that prizes speed, fluency, and constant output, silence is often mistaken for absence. We move on quickly when conversations slow, when sentences stumble, when words do not arrive on cue. Yet on 13 December 2025, at Singapore Management University, a full-house audience was asked to do something quietly radical: to sit with silence, to observe it, and to listen to what it carries. The premiere of Can You Hear Me? was not simply a cultural event — it was a momen
