Bubbling & Boiling Festival in Singapore; Xiamen Star TV Wins Global Fans with Chinese Cultural Experiences Overseas

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 September 2025 – Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board and jointly presented with Resorts World Sentosa, the inaugural Bubbling & Boiling Music and Arts Festival · Singapore concluded with resounding success over the weekend. The two-day festival brought together artists from China, Singapore, Korea, the United States and beyond, drawing young audiences from across Asia and the world to Sentosa.

The first day of festival focused on K-pop performances, featuring groups such as girl group (G)I-DLE. On the second day, artists from China, Singapore and other countries, including Cai Xukun, Joey Yung, Chen Li and Boon Hui Lu, were invited to perform. The two-day music festival drew young audiences from across Asia and around the world to gather at Sentosa.

This Singapore Station marks the first overseas stop of the Bubbling & Boiling IP. As one of China’s top-tier music festival IPs, Bubbling & Boiling Music & Art Festival is a new brand established only in 2023. In just two years, it has quickly risen to the top of the industry through phenomenal performances in cities like Tianjin and Xiamen.

“Bubbling & Boiling is not just a festival — it reflects the rising wave of cultural consumption and experiential entertainment driven by China’s younger generation. This collaboration marks a new phase, where Singapore is not only a host for large-scale events, but also a partner in co-creating cultural celebrations for Asia,” said Mr. Andrew Phua, Chief Representative & Executive Director, Greater China, Singapore Tourism Board.

Youth engagement was at the heart of this year’s festival. Gen Z accounted for more than 85% of attendees, while international attendees accounted for over 90%. On social media, festival-related topics amassed over 200 million views, making it one of the region’s most talked-about cultural happenings and reaffirming the growing influence of youth culture in global exchange.

Reporters noticed that the featured exhibition area brought by Xiamen Star TV not only created a strong Chinese-style scene with traditional Chinese elements such as bamboo, lotus flowers and lanterns, but also offered a variety of activities including Hanfu experience shows and the Minnan folk custom “Mid-Autumn Bobing” (a traditional dice game during Mid-Autumn Festival).

These activities enabled young people from all over the world to gain an intuitive and vivid understanding of Chinese culture through multiple dimensions such as visuals, music, food, opera and folk customs. Meanwhile, the diversified interactive activities of Gezi Opera (a traditional local opera of southern Fujian), co-presented with the “China Has Drama” project of the Culture Communication Center of China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration, also attracted many young people.

“The featured booth from Xiamen, China left a deep impression on me. It added a unique layer of historical and cultural charm to the music festival. The experiences of wearing Hanfu and Gezi Opera costumes were fresh and interesting, making me feel as if I had stepped into scenes from some TV dramas. The Minnan-style game felt both familiar and special to me, which was really memorable,” said Chan, a student from the National University of Singapore.

“Bubbling & Boiling is an IP from China, and Singapore is a diverse and international place. This music festival has witnessed a lot of interactions between traditional Chinese culture and international music festivals, with numerous explorations into scene-based interactions and cross-boundary cultural integration,” said Zhang Chongshuo, founder of Chuangyu Wujie, at the booth. He added, “The booth of Xiamen Star TV this time is a successful attempt. I saw young people from Singapore, Malaysia and even European and American countries come to try on Hanfu. I believe that through such simple interactive methods, seeds have been sown in their hearts, and they may be inspired to learn more about Chinese culture in the future.”

The event was hosted by the Hainan Provincial Government, aiming to enhance Hong Kong people’s understanding of the policies and achievements of the Hainan FTP, as well as opportunities after the island-wide special customs operations start, thus building deeper ties between the two places.

Feng Fei, secretary of the Communist Party of China Hainan Provincial Committee, stated at the conference that the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Hainan FTP are both major national strategies, and that the interaction of the two is a driving force for building a new development pattern and facilitating domestic and international dual circulation. Hainan FTP plans to initiate island-wide special customs operations on Dec. 18, 2025, signifying a new phase in the development of the Hainan FTP, Feng said, adding that Hainan seeks to deepen its collaboration with Hong Kong, harnessing their respective strengths to amplify their combined regional influence and outreach.

Algernon Yau, secretary for commerce and economic development of the HKSAR government, reaffirmed the commitment to fostering collaboration between Hong Kong and Hainan, pledging to fully leverage Hong Kong’s strengths to promote coordinated development within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Hainan Free Trade Port. Yau also highlighted plans to attract international projects to Hainan and facilitate Hainan’s investment in overseas markets, aiming to create mutually beneficial partnerships that contribute to China’s high-quality development and economic dynamism.

Tang Hua, director of the Hainan Provincial Bureau of International Economic Development, detailed Hainan’s advantages, including its beautiful ecological environment, broad market reach, high degree of economic openness, and strong talent attraction. Tang noted that Hong Kong offers world-class technological R&D capabilities, robust financial services, and access to international talent, which provide essential support services to enterprises in Hainan.

The promotion event saw the signing of 12 agreements between Hainan and Hong Kong enterprises across various sectors, including cultural tourism, technology, and food processing. More than 400 participants attended the event.

According to the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, Hainan issued 5 billion yuan of offshore RMB local government bonds in Hong Kong on Sept. 11th, with maturities of 3, 5 and 10 years. The issuance comprises three tranches: 3-year sustainable development bonds, 5-year blue bonds and a 10-year aerospace-themed bond. Proceeds will primarily support marine conservation, social welfare and key scientific research and infrastructure projects in the aerospace sector.

Kuailu Technology Launches World’s First AI Office “New Species”

Transforming the Workplace with Natural Language Interaction

SINGAPORE, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 17, Kuailu Technology unveiled its AI intelligent office platform, hailed by industry experts as an “office new species.” The platform marks a major shift in enterprise productivity, moving from traditional process-driven workflows to data- and AI-powered decision-making, where tools adapt to employees rather than the other way around.

At its launch, themed “Smarter Management of People, Finance and Assets, Seamless Collaboration as One”, Kuailu demonstrated how natural language interaction enables employees to complete complex tasks with a single command, significantly reducing time spent navigating multiple systems.

Addressing Everyday Workplace Challenges

Kuailu’s research identified four frequent workplace hurdles: information overload, repetitive forms, slow report generation, and fragmented data. Its AI platform provides practical solutions across six core scenarios:

  • Sales Acceleration: Instantly generate contracts, analyse customer data, and optimise client routes—enabling faster deal closures and higher revenue.
  • Smart Procurement: AI automatically compares supplier prices, delivery schedules, and performance history, giving managers clear sourcing options in seconds.
  • Automated Approvals: Spoken instructions such as “approve with quality check” are interpreted into workflows. The system retrieves budgets, project data, executes the approval, and notifies stakeholders—turning hours of manual work into minutes.
  • Agile Recruitment: HR teams can draft job descriptions, scan resumes, and shortlist candidates instantly, transforming hiring from reactive to proactive.
  • Financial Insights: Multi-system data is aggregated into intuitive dashboards, allowing finance teams to move from reporting to strategic advisory.
  • Intelligent Collaboration: AI schedules meetings, sets agendas, and generates actionable minutes, converting discussions into decisions quickly and efficiently.

Digital Twins, Organisational Impact and Security

Kuailu also introduced digital twins—AI agents simulating professional roles in sales, procurement, and R&D. These digital partners not only assist employees but also reshape organisational workflows, creating smarter, more adaptive enterprises capable of data-driven collaboration and innovation.

Enterprise-grade security includes private deployment, SSL/TLS encryption, and role-based access controls. Its low-code platform ensures flexibility: SMEs can deploy lightweight modules, while large organisations integrate complex processes without system overhaul.

“Our vision is for AI to be every enterprise’s digital partner—intuitive, secure and transformative,” said a Kuailu Technology spokesperson.

About Kuailu

Kuailu Tech is a global artificial intelligence enterprise dedicated to driving the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprise office through AI technology. Based on its self-developed large model technology, the company has created a new generation of AI office intelligent entities, with capabilities covering a full-scenario intelligent office ecosystem including AI intelligent office, AI intelligent collaboration, and AI intelligent meetings. It is a powerful management tool that helps enterprises make smart, rapid, and efficient decisions.

Dive Into an Oasis of Water Adventures

Lyra Grandeur was built for true water lovers with a signature, heart-pounding water slide, a heated infinity pool that melts into the horizon, and a soothing jacuzzi that sparkles under the sun. Warm up in a Nordic-style outdoor sauna before leaping into crystal waters, or glide quietly across serene lagoons on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Here, the water isn’t just a backdrop, it’s a world you immerse yourself in.

Elevated Leisure, Enriched Culture

Days onboard unfold like a finely written story, where indulgence meets discovery. Begin with Tai Chi at sunrise, mist curling over the limestone peaks. Spend afternoons savoring Vietnamese tea ceremonies, joining hands-on cooking classes, or simply sipping cocktails while soaking in the magical sunset from our 360-degree observation peak. Evenings might find you testing your luck in the poker club, casting a line for squid fishing under the stars, or settling into the outdoor lounge for a movie beneath the night sky. If the mood strikes, the mini-theater transforms into a lively karaoke room.

Onshore, step into ancient caves, stroll barefoot along untouched beaches, or connect with the cultural heritage of Cat Ba’s villages. Every moment is designed to stir your curiosity, your senses, and your soul.

Luxury, Tailored to Every Desire

True luxury comes with privacy and personalization. Guests can enjoy butler service and private dining for couples or intimate groups of up to 10, as well as single and couple spa rooms for tailored wellness experiences. Whatever your desire, our dedicated crew will ensure every detail is taken care of, creating an atmosphere of exclusivity and refinement.

Lyra Grandeur Sets Sail

As the latest addition to the Lyra Cruise Collection—a brand celebrated for its exceptional facilities and elevated journeys through the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyra Grandeur marks a new chapter in the brand’s journey into experiential, design-forward cruising.

iHuman Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

BEIJING, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — iHuman Inc. (NYSE: IH) (“iHuman” or the “Company”), a leading provider of tech-powered, intellectual development products in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Revenues were RMB200.2 million (US$27.9 million), compared with RMB215.1 million in the same period last year.
  • Gross profit was RMB135.7 million (US$19.0 million), compared with RMB151.7 million in the same period last year.
  • Operating income was RMB19.5 million (US$2.7 million), compared with RMB18.8 million in the same period last year.
  • Net income was RMB31.9 million (US$4.5 million), compared with RMB24.7 million in the same period last year.
  • Average total MAUs[1] for the second quarter were 23.72 million, compared with 24.57 million in the same period last year.

 

[1] “Average total MAUs” refers to the monthly average of the sum of the MAUs of each of the Company’s apps during a specific period, which is counted based on the number of unique mobile devices through which such app is accessed at least once in a given month, and duplicate access to different apps is not eliminated from the total MAUs calculation.

Dr. Peng Dai, Director and Chief Executive Officer of iHuman, commented, “During the second quarter, we continued to advance our product roadmap and expand our international presence with several key updates. Our flagship app, iHuman Chinese—long recognized as an industry benchmark—introduced new features to make character exploration more intuitive and engaging. One specific highlight is the new photo recognition function that covers most daily-use Chinese characters. Children can simply take a picture of an unfamiliar character, and the app will instantly display its meaning, related words, example sentences, and cultural context, seamlessly turning everyday curiosity into a learning opportunity. We also launched a speaking feature that uses intelligent voice analysis to provide real-time feedback on pronunciation, helping children build confidence and fluency in verbal expression through practice.  

Internationally, we launched a major upgrade to Aha Makeover, transforming it from a traditional styling experience into a vibrant, story-driven world. The update introduces missions, a tiered rewards system, and an expansive world map with different themed zones. The update also features a new virtual girl group of five original characters, each with a distinctive style and personality. Users can interact with them through various creative activities, such as experimenting with hairstyles, applying makeup, mixing and matching outfits, and personalizing rooms in a cozy virtual home. These interactions unlock rewards and advance the storyline, sparking users’ creativity through diverse challenges. By combining character-led narratives with creative styling tools and engaging missions, the update delivers a distinctive and immersive experience that strengthens user engagement over time.

We also took a major step forward in our global content strategy by establishing a strategic partnership with Cricket Media, a highly respected children’s brand with more than five decades of experience and strong ties to schools, libraries, and households across the U.S. By leveraging Cricket Media’s award-winning library—spanning genres like science, art, history, poetry, comics, and fiction—and our proven expertise in content digitization, edutainment, and interactive learning design, we are reimaging these classic resources for the digital age. Recently, we jointly launched Reading Stars, an intuitive app that retains the depth of traditional reading while offering interactive activities, motivating rewards, and personalized pathways to create a richer experience for young readers. This partnership not only introduces a compelling new reading product, but also deepens our presence in the U.S. education and consumer markets, bolsters our brand recognition abroad, and provides an effective platform for building long-term distribution channels and localized product offerings.

Building on our strength in digital products, we are also expanding our entertainment content through our animation studio, Kunpeng. Our flagship Cosmicrew franchise, which first aired in 2018, remains a long-standing favorite among children and one of the most recognized and beloved names in its category. This summer, Cosmicrew continued its strong performance across major streaming platforms, underscoring its enduring popularity. Within the franchise, the Super Mecha Dinosaurs subseries has also built a devoted fanbase. In May, we released a new season that quickly attracted broad viewership on leading streaming platforms, further expanding the series’ strong following. Importantly, as an integral part of iHuman’s ecosystem, Kunpeng’s original IPs not only broaden our entertainment lineup but also further increase the visibility of our overall IP portfolio within iHuman apps. This strengthens user engagement, creating a self-reinforcing flywheel where education and entertainment are closely integrated and amplify each other over time.

By continuing to innovate, expanding our global footprint, and growing our entertainment portfolio, we are strengthening the foundation for long-term growth and creating more opportunities to engage audiences worldwide.”

Ms. Vivien Weiwei Wang, Director and Chief Financial Officer of iHuman, added, “We are pleased to deliver another solid quarter of results, marking our 14th consecutive quarter of profitability. This achievement is a testament to our disciplined execution and firm commitment to sustainable development. This quarter, we continued to strengthen our product portfolio and expand collaboration with ecosystem partners, creating new synergies and opportunities that lay a strong foundation for long-term growth. We are also actively expanding the role of AI across our operations, applying it not only to enrich user experiences but also to reimagine our operational processes. From automating routine tasks and streamlining workflows to enhancing data-driven insights, AI is enabling us to respond faster, operate more precisely, and capture greater efficiencies across the board.

Backed by an industry-leading product lineup, a healthy balance sheet, and an agile operating model, we are well positioned to capitalize on new opportunities, scale globally, and continue creating value for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues were RMB200.2 million (US$27.9 million), compared with RMB215.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the decline in China’s newborn population and more conservative consumer spending.

Average total MAUs for the quarter were 23.72 million, compared with 24.57 million in the same period last year.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was RMB64.4 million (US$9.0 million), compared with RMB63.4 million in the same period last year.

The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to the diversification and structural upgrades of the Company’s product portfolio.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were RMB116.3 million (US$16.2 million), a decrease of 12.5% from RMB132.9 million in the same period last year.

Research and development expenses were RMB52.8 million (US$7.4 million), a decrease of 7.7% from RMB57.2 million in the same period last year, primarily due to savings in payroll-related and outsourcing expenses.  

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB41.3 million (US$5.8 million), a decrease of 19.5% from RMB51.3 million in the same period last year, primarily due to cost savings in marketing activities. 

General and administrative expenses were RMB22.1 million (US$3.1 million), a decrease of 9.3% from RMB24.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to savings in payroll-related expenses as well as other administrative expenses.

Net Income

Net income was RMB31.9 million (US$4.5 million), compared with RMB24.7 million in the same period last year.

Basic and diluted net income per ADS were RMB0.62 (US$0.09) and RMB0.60 (US$0.08), respectively, compared with RMB0.47 and RMB0.45 in the same period last year. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

Exchange Rate Information

The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release, except for those transaction amounts that were actually settled in U.S. dollars, are presented solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this press release is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as of June 30, 2025, which was RMB7.1636 to US$1.00. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

iHuman considers and uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS, as supplemental metrics in reviewing and assessing its operating performance and formulating its business plan. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). iHuman defines adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS as operating income, net income and diluted net income per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses, respectively. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per ADS enable iHuman’s management to assess its operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. iHuman believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the Company’s current operating performance and prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, which possibly do not reflect all items of expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures iHuman uses may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
