       WEDDING bells may soon chime again for divorced singer Selina Jen after she was spotted recently wearing a ring while out with her new beau, Sin Chew Daily reported.

       Jen was photographed visiting an exhibition by Hong Kong artist Kila Cheung together with her boyfriend.

       The pair was seen holding hands and eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a new ring on her left hand.

       Her boyfriend, who is seven years her junior, was also seen wearing a matching ring.

       The photograph generated so much buzz on Chinese cyberspace that the term “Selina and boyfriend wearing matching rings” quickly became a trending topic.

       Many fans wished the singer well.

       “Please cherish your new love,” one Internet user wrote.

       Jen, 40, was previously married to a lawyer for five years until their divorce in 2016.

       She rose to prominence in 2001 with the all-girl band S.H.E.

       In 2010, she suffered third-degree burns on more than half of her body while filming a TV series in Shanghai.

       > The daily also reported that an actor in China, who is in-between jobs, remained unfazed despite Internet users making fun of him for becoming a vegetable seller to earn a living.

       “I am not miserable. Selling vegetables is like acting. It is just a part of my life,” said Xu Hai, 37.

       Xu said that being a vegetable trader at the market was his way of sharing the family burden.

       “My home is in a farming village. There are chores everyone must do,” he said in a video uploaded on Douyin, China’s version of the video-sharing app TikTok.

       Xu, who has not had an acting role for the past few years, said that as an actor, it was his job to do his best in any role given to him.

       “Once I remove my work clothes, I am the same as anyone else when I return home. I am a normal person,” said Xu, who has been an actor for 15 years.
