Hong Kong Actor Tony Leung receives French US gov’t challenges mainland arts honor tourist’s injury claim ap photo worldfortravel.com

Hong Kong actor Tony Leung celebrates with actress Carina Lau

To his long list of accolades, Hong Kong actor Tony Leung is adding one with French flavor. France’s consul general made the 52-year-old actor an “Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters” at a ceremony yesterday attended by Leung’s wife Carina Lau and his friends including director Wong Kar-wai. Consul General Arnaud Barthelemy praised Leung for his achievements in acting and thanked him for bringing together the cultures of France and Hong Kong. Leung said he wanted to share the honor because he didn’t make his films alone. “I think this honor should be shared with all those who have worked with me in films for the last 30 years,” Leung said. Tony Leung Chiu-wai is considered one of Hong Kong’s finest actors, especially in his collaborations with Wong such as “Ashes of Time,” ‘’Chungking Express” and “In the Mood for Love.” That role won him a Niagara Falls best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Big Air in snowboarding, Big Air in freestyle skiing, mass start in speed- skating and mixed doubles in curling have been submitted for approval to the International Olympic Commit- tee executive board.
