       CHINESE actress Fan Bingbing sparked concern among her fans after she seemed to have injured her forehead, reported Sin Chew Daily.

       Fan, 40, who is currently filming in South Korea, had uploaded photos of herself carrying a dog on Weibo.

       However, the images showed what appeared to be a gash on the left side of her forehead.

       “Under peaceful condition, (we have) successfully concluded filming,” she wrote.

       However, her fans had gotten worried, as many speculated that she had sustained the injury during her time in South Korea.

       Even so, they agreed that Fan remained stunning despite the gash on her forehead.

       Fan, who was blacklisted in China following a tax evasion scandal, is said to be making a comeback in the entertainment industry via a role in a South Korean drama.

       > Internet users in Shanghai, many of whom were finding it hard to get food amid the lockdown, were surprised that their posts with the hashtag “grocery shopping in Shanghai” were no longer found on social media, reported China Press.

       Those who searched for the term would get a message which read “this content goes against the Administrative Provisions on Official Account Information Services for Internet Users”.

       Shanghai residents have used the hashtag “grocery shopping in Shanghai” in a bid to find those who were willing to sell them food.

       “Good news! Good news! Shanghai has completely addressed the problem of finding groceries!” an Internet user wrote sarcastically in response to the banning of the hashtag on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter.

       To prevent their posts from being deleted, netizens have created funny memes to highlight their plight.

       One example was the Chinese characters of “where is meat?” being spelt out using carrots, courgettes and cabbages.

       Another message featured a photo-shopped movie poster of a war film where the characters were labelled as platoon leaders responsible for grocery shopping for milk, fruits, vegetables and meat.

       Shanghai’s Covid-19 lockdown has been extended indefinitely after staggered restrictions failed to contain the infections.
