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

Nikula's sons were interviewed earlier this year. They say he never recovered from his 2007 stroke, it was a miracle he even survived it and has now been in a care home with very advanced dementia for years. "All things considered doing well"

Czech actress Jiřina Bohdalová also survived a major pulmonary embolism around January that put her into critical conditions for weeks and later a fall in April. Seems like she's recovered well.

Jiřina Bohdalová was hospitalised in ICU with food poisoning earlier this week, but she's supposedly recovering quite well.

While looking for news on the annual Medal of Honor convention that is supposed to be going on in the city of San Antonio right now, I came across this. Apparently the National Medal Awards ceremony for China took place and two recipients in particular stood out as very old and frail, the man (definitely military judging by the outfit and the fact he does a salute later on) at the 6:51 mark and the lady at 7:18. They were in wheelchairs and had to be escorted to the ceremony, the old military man somehow stood with assistance and gave a speech at the 22 minute mark of the video (potential immortal?) before being taken back to his wheelchair.

 

@drol @arghton I have zero clue who those two are, but I'm sure you would know.

The man is Huang Zongde, a veteran born in 1931.

I think the other is popular 1950s actress Tian Hua, 96 in December.

 

Wang Zhenyi was apparently too ill to attend, but was visited:
