French-Italian showstar Caterina Valente has died in her Swiss home on September 9th. She was 93 years old.

Her musical and artistic biography cannot be summed up in one or two sentences, as she was multi-talented and recorded songs in 11 languages. In 1955 she also had a top hit in the UK and USA with "The breeze and I", while in Germany she had several number 1 hits and million-sellers, in addition to her film career and TV shows. She was a real show star and will certainly be greatly mourned in Germany.

Ah, alas, one of the early UK chart entries, possibly long forgotten but one would hope for a QO as she is a DDP pick.

Shen Jilan, China's longest serving Deputy (65 years), has died at 90. Famous because she always approved any proposal from the Communist Party, she was given the highest Chinese honour, Medal of the Republic, last year. Guess she is enjoying it in hell now.

Chinese media is reporting that four new Medals of the Republic have been awarded for the first time since 2020, making the total amount of inductees 13. These four are:

 

Wang Yongzhi (1932-2024) General architect and designer of China's Shenzhou program (China Manned Space Program)

Li Zhensheng (1931-) Geneticist who specializes in wheat.

Wang Zhenyi (1924-) Pathophysiologist who discovered the cure for acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Huang Zhongde (1931-) Korean War hero
