Yuan Zhu is one of Flora's flatmates, who seems to be a really kind and caring man. It seems like he's interested in Flora, but Yuan Zu hasn't revealed his feelings openly yet. However, he often tries to hint at it, but Flora is already with Luke. At the same time, Yuan Zu also makes sure to help their other flatmate, who's also a close friend now.

4) Ki Tian Qing as Sun Yu

Sun Yu is the female flatmate of Flora, who bonded with her right on the first day. When Flora moved to Beijing, she saved Sun Yu from the violent neighbors and became close friends. Sun Yu often teases Flore with Luke's name and will soon come to know about how passionate her relationship with her boss has been.

5) Guo Xiaoting as Zhang Yao

Zhang Yao is Luke's childhood best friend. She appears in Episode 11 for the first time, when Lumi tells Flora how special the two are for each other. Flora even saw the bouquet Luke gifted to Zhang Yao, which only intensifies her jealousy.

It looks like Zhang Yao will create issues in Luke and Flora's relationship. They're already facing issues since the logo mistake, and now this new arrival seems to be creating more misunderstandings.

Up to about 2,000 people have attended the annual Vale Earth Fair in recent years

The Channel Islands longest-running music festival the Vale Earth Fair is celebrating its 50-year anniversary.

The first event in 1976 involved local bands on a single stage inside the Vale Castle in the north of Guernsey with power for the stage and speakers needing to be sourced from a nearby business.

In 2026, organisers planned to have six stages around the castle site with bands from Jersey and the UK due to perform including headliner the Orb, but due to forecast high winds the event was moved to several indoor venues.

The Vale Earth Fair Collective - the group of volunteers that organise the festival - promotes music and the arts in the islands through community events.

Funds from those events are used to support the music festival while also raising awareness of humanitarian causes.

The profit from the annual music event is given to charitable and humanitarian causes - this year it is due to be shared between The Burma Campaign UK, the Linda Norgrove Foundation, and domestic abuse charity Safer.

The Vale Earth Fair is celebrating its 50th anniversary and during the pandemic was believed to be the only music festival held in Europe in 2020

Tom Girard, BBC Introducing presenter and a musician who has played at the festival and regularly attends, said his first was in 1999 and "there's been some amazing moments".

He said: "The music brings people together and just the range of music that's on offer has been amazing over the years from brand new bands you've never heard of from both islands and further afield, through to big name acts.

"It's such a big part of the community calendar every year now."

He described it as always having a "good vibe".

Errol Groves was one of organisers of the first Vale Earth Fair in 1976 and continued to be involved in the collective until his death in 2019

Errol Groves, who died in 2019, was one of the founders of the Vale Earth Fair and a bar he ran at the festival is called Errol's Bar in his honour.

His daughter Ellen Groves, said the family grew up going to the festival and she had recently come across one of her father's notebooks that had a "mock-up" of the first poster.

"In there was a list of all the volunteers so I've been tracing back trying to find out how dad bought it altogether on that long, hot summer of 76," she said.

Groves said the tagline for the festival was "a local event with a global conscience" which had always been the case since the beginning.

She said the earliest festival she could remember was in the late 80s, and now takes her own children to the event.

The poster has changed in 50 years as has the number of stages and bands. Bob Delbridge performed at the first festival, which Ellen Groves' father organised -

Bob Delbridge, who is on the line-up to perform at the festival with his band The Bapchilds appeared at the very first event in his two-man-band called the Friendly Folk.

"I remember going up there and seeing them build the stage which was done out of scaffolding and pallets and things like that," he said.

"I recall there was no electricity. They threw a long cable down into the quarry and someone down there plugged it in for them."

Charity partner Mark Farmaner said the annual event had been raising funds and given direct support to the Burma Campaign UK for decades.

He said: "That's the amazing thing about Vale Earth, it's not just a fantastic music event, but the profits all go to good causes."

Farmaner said in the afternoon, families with their children were having picnics, and by the evening, when the bands were playing, the castle was packed with people dancing and singing.

'Beautiful place'

Jade Kershaw, a collective member who has been volunteering at the festival for 19 years, said it was a beautiful event where people could come together.

"People can just celebrate being themselves in a relaxed environment to enjoy some music and some socialising.

"It's a really beautiful place for that and that's why I keep coming back and want to be involved in it because it relies on volunteers, the community and it wouldn't happen without that.

"It's a really special place."

Plenty of classic bands have inspired popular cover versions of their songs over the years, but Fleetwood Mac has to be one of the most covered groups of all time. From Elton John‘s take on “Don’t Stop” to Hole’s version of “Gold Dust Woman,” Fleetwood Mac’s catalog has been reimagined in just about every genre of music…and one countrified cover of “Landslide” went on to become a bigger commercial hit than the original.

“Landslide” originally appeared on the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac, but wasn’t released as a single until 1998, when a live version from the reunion album The Dance went #51 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Of course, the poignant track, about love and loss and aging, was a fan-favorite for decades, despite its lack of chart presence.

“I wrote ‘Landslide’ in 1973, when I was 27, and I did already feel old in a lot of ways. I’d been working as a waitress and a cleaning lady for years. I was tired,” Stevie Nicks told the New York Times in 2014.

Decades later, when Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks (now known as just the Chicks) was about the same age as Nicks when she wrote “Landslide,” the country trio had a massive success with their cover of the song.

Released as the second single from their 2002 album, Home, the Dixie Chicks’ version peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, going all the way to #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart (where it stayed for seven weeks in 2003). Nearly twenty years later, in 2022, Billboard ranked the Dixie Chicks’ “Landslide” as #1 on a list of the “20 Best Fleetwood Mac Covers.”

The same year the Dixie Chicks released their take on “Landslide,” Nicks performed the song with the group at VH1 Divas Las Vegas.

“I can remember [writing] it and seeing it through my eyes when I was, gosh, in my early 20s and then through my eyes all the way up until now — and through you guys’ eyes,” Nicks said at the time, per Far Out. “It’s really quite an amazing metamorphosis for this song from generation to generation to generation, and I’m so proud to be a part of it.”

In a 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Nicks called Maines her “favorite person to sing with, ever,” adding, “I could happily be a part of the Dixie Chicks. Even though they’re billed as country artists, they’re very rock ‘n’ roll.”

For Lindsey Buckingham, however, the Dixie Chicks (and their “Landslide”) weren’t rock ‘n’ roll enough.

“’Landslide’ is a great song, but I don’t want anyone to get the funny idea about Fleetwood Mac and country,” Buckingham told Guitar World in 2003. “Somebody at our label was talking about how we should broaden our audience, and they started talking about putting us on Country Music Television. I had to say, ‘Whoa! Stop right there.’ There’s a certain kind of profile you want to put out there. And that isn’t it.”

Despite being over 40 years old, the Rob Reiner-directed 1984 mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap, is still receiving recognition for its ability to delight audiences.

On August 29, Collider released a ranking titled “the 10 Funniest Movies in Film History,” which included humorous films like 1988’s The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, Blazing Saddles, released in 1974, and 1998’s The Big Lebowski. The publication crowned This Is Spinal Tap, which happened to be the first feature film Reiner directed, as the “funniest movie in film history.”

The movie, which focuses on fictional British rockers, has a score of 98 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Rob Reiner Discussed Making ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ in a 2004 Interview

Reiner, who died in December 2025 at the age of 78, discussed making This Is Spinal Tap in a 2004 interview with the Television Academy Foundation. He explained that making the rock mockumentary “wasn’t a typical first-time director experience,” due to the cast, which included Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, improvising their dialogue.

“There was no script and so, you know, it was all improvised. And it was all shot like a documentary, so it wasn’t, you know, like having to set up shots in a traditional way that a director would, you know, design a movie. I mean, we were kind of flying by the seat of our pants and, you know, improvising as we went along,” said Reiner.

Reiner, who noted that the movie did have a loose plot outline before it was filmed, also said that This Is Spinal Tap “took [him] 9 months to cut” in the editing room.

“So basically the writing for the film was done in the cutting room,” explained the Princess Bride director in the 2004 interview.

In addition, the filmmaker said that This Is Spinal Tap was initially misunderstood by audiences.

“When it first came out, people thought it was a real band. And then people didn’t understand why would I make a movie about a band that nobody had ever heard of, and that was so bad,” said Reiner.

According to Reiner, he had to explain that it was satire.

“It took a while for people to catch up to it and realize that it was a spoof,” said Reiner.

The shops are full of low-rise jeans and ballet pumps. My Chemical Romance have just done a stadium tour. And as if we needed any further evidence that 2026 is the new 2006, MySpace might be making a comeback.

Of course, every millennial’s favourite website never really went away. It simply faded into obscurity, along with the majority of the emo bands that you discovered there, superseded by Facebook and then by all the other platforms that sprung up in its wake. But now its current owners, Chris and Tim Vanderhook, have claimed that they are “going to relaunch MySpace”, the mid-Noughties social media giant that, for better or worse, allowed a generation of teenagers to start thinking about how they might be perceived on the Internet – they’re “just waiting for the right time to do it”.

As yet, the specifics of their vision remain just vague enough to pique the interest of a whole load of nostalgic thirty- and forty-somethings. The Vanderhooks are reportedly keen for their overhauled version of MySpace to present an alternative to algorithm-driven feeds, influencer culture and the infinite scroll.

Whether that’s simply wishful thinking remains to be seen, but there’s certainly an appetite for social media that feels a bit more social and a bit less samey. There are only so many times you can see thousands upon thousands of influencers posting variations on what they believe to be “kinda chic”, after all. MySpace’s heyday remains as a high water mark for online creativity, a time when individuality and personality flourished without being flattened into microtrends and viral moments.

The MySpace story began all the way back in the Nineties. While studying for his MBA in California, Chris DeWolfe had come up with a social media platform prototype that he’d called Sitegeist. Later, when he was working with the online marketing company eUniverse, he noted that Friendster, one of the earliest social media sites, was becoming more and more popular.

A network teeming with users willing to hand over their details promised a whole load of possibilities for ad distribution (isn’t that always the motivation behind every other big Internet idea?) DeWolfe started dusting off his old blueprint with colleagues Tom Anderson and Josh Berman, digging out a domain name, myspace.com, that he’d bought a few years earlier.

By the summer of 2006, it was the most visited site in the US (AFP/Getty)

The site launched in August 2003. Email databases from its parent company helped cast a wide net when it came to enticing new users. And whenever anyone signed up, they would always start off with one friend on their list – Anderson, the site’s president, who became known as “Tom from MySpace”. His avatar, a headshot showing him posing in front of a whiteboard covered in what looked like startup-speak scribbles, would soon become part of the fabric of the early Internet memories of a generation of millennials.

Just under three years later, in June 2006, MySpace would become the most visited site in the United States. In the same month, one million people signed up for the UK launch. I was one of them. Within a year or so, the UK spin-off alone hit 10 million users.

Why was it so popular? For many of us, it was the first time that we’d considered how we might appear to others online. And it was so customisable and fun! It just felt like the perfect place to express yourself and show up to meet people you had things in common with.”

You could tweak almost every aspect of your profile, from the background to the font to the exact shade of glitter that might cascade from the top of the screen as you scrolled. You just needed to play around with HTML, or hyper text mark-up language; without realising it, we were learning basic scraps of code.

Another pal spent hours fiddling around with HTML tags in order to make her profile look like an iTunes music library. Appropriate enough, really, because MySpace had a major influence on the artists we’d upload to our chunky iPods. From the start, MySpace’s founders decided to encourage bands and promoters to join their platform as a way of getting their music out to the masses, and aspiring musicians would use it to upload their demos.

Co-founder Tom Anderson was every user’s first ‘friend’ (Getty)

Discovering a new favourite artist was a real rush. Rather than floating passively on the tide of the Spotify algorithm, I’d search for the profiles of the bands I’d read about in the NME, listen to the tracks on their music player and decide whether their CDs would be worth a punt.

My love of Arctic Monkeys began on MySpace with their Beneath the Boardwalk demo. Adele and Lily Allen got their start on the platform, too. One of MySpace’s most alluring features (to a performative teenager desperate to broadcast their taste, at least) was the way it allowed you to attach one song to your profile, which would then autoplay to any digital visitors. The more esoteric, the better.

The music industry was so in thrall to the so-called “MySpace effect” that in the autumn of 2005, Universal’s Interscope Records teamed up with the site to launch a spin-off record label, with the aim of signing up artists who were proving popular on the site.

At school, fellow pupils who were “big on MySpace” – with friend counts in the hundreds or even thousands – became minor celebrities. And one of the platform’s notorious features helped us to turn our friendships into digital popularity contests. The Top Friends function allowed you to pick and rank your eight favourite people… publicly. Inevitably, this could be brutal, especially when wielded by a bunch of teenage girls who were alternately keen to establish their own social pecking order and extremely quick to offend.

One friend stopped talking to me after I pushed her down a few spots in my Top Eight, replacing her with a (to my naive mind, at least) cooler mate from the year above, who’d just started inviting me to the sort of house parties that aimed for Skins but landed just above The Inbetweeners. Instead of apologising, I followed her lead and ignored her right back; we never really spoke again, a friendship wrecked by the nightmare of adolescent pettiness.

Lily Allen was one of the British stars who made it big on MySpace (Getty)

While all these psychodramas were playing out in schools and colleges across the world, the MySpace founders were getting rich. In 2005, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp paid a staggering $580 million to acquire the platform, part of an attempt to futureproof the old media giant as it staggered into the internet era. A lucrative search partnership with Google followed. With all this money flooding in, the site became more polished, less rough and ready. There were murmurings of discontent among long time users as the MySpace they knew and loved started to be overrun with ads.

And a social media upstart was waiting in the wings, too. In 2005, DeWolfe had met with Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg to discuss potentially buying his new site, Facebook, which was spreading across American colleges and universities. Zuckerberg wanted $75 million, and DeWolfe turned him down. But by 2008, Facebook had more unique worldwide visitors than Myspace; a year later, it had more unique US users, too.

While this newcomer rolled out innovative features like status updates and the news feed, allowing you to keep tabs on exactly what your friends were doing – and liking – MySpace started to feel like a bit of a dinosaur. The focus on maximising potential ad space made it less of a friendly corner of the Internet, more of a clunky sales platform. Even musicians were drifting away, branching out to Google’s video platform, YouTube.

One of the platform’s notorious features helped us to turn our friendships into digital popularity contests

Anderson left in 2009, and a few years later posted his dismay at MySpace’s new direction – to add insult to injury, he did so on Facebook. “Why am I not on MySpace?” he wrote in 2011. “Because I left the company in early 2009 and like most of you, I don’t like using it any more… not a fan of what the new folks have done with MySpace.”

Since then, he’s kept a low profile, focusing on photography. In an interview with Architectural Digest in 2014, he revealed that while he doesn’t mind helping friends with tech projects, he is “perfectly happy to never work again”. DeWolfe, meanwhile, left around the same time, and has since co-founded a video game development company that focuses on mobile gaming.

MySpace kept being sold on to various media companies, for diminishing amounts. It became a cautionary punchline to jokes about bursting social media bubbles, and a fixture in lists about millennial culture.

In 2019, it made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it emerged that a botched server migration had permanently deleted photos, songs and videos uploaded between 2003 and 2015 (your old emo selfies and Topshop mirror photos? All – perhaps mercifully – gone).

The nostalgic appeal alone might be enough to draw millennials back to a refurbed MySpace, while Gen Z, too young for it the first time around, seem to have a collective curiosity for anything vaguely Y2K – their fondness for digital cameras means they’re already primed for a classic MySpace aesthetic.

How the site might sustain this interest beyond a temporary spike, though, remains fuzzier than a low-res mirror selfie. Perhaps we simply miss an era when the Internet felt fun, creative and full of possibilities, rather than frustrating and even frightening. It will take more than a Top Friends refresh to bring that feeling back.
