The dumplings are all eaten; the fireworks have gone out; but the gala is still going. There’s nothing left to do except make some Chinese New Year Resolutions. Here’s what the celebrities are vowing this year…
Ai Weiwei, artist – “Use the valuable freedom I have to spend more time on Twitter.”
Zhou Yongkang, former security czar – “Enjoy retirement. There are so many things I haven’t done, so many places I’ve never been. Prison, for example.”
Jackie Chan, actor – “This is more a contractual obligation than a resolution, but I’m not allowed to talk in public anymore.”
Yao Ming, former NBA star – “Make myself appear more exciting by checking into rehab. Can you have a math addiction?”
Xi Jinping, President of China – “Initiate Plan Nine: Phase Four.”
Bo Guagua, son of Bo Xilai – “Live quietly. Watch… and wait. Get new Xbox One.”
Shen Yueyue, President, All China Women’s Federation – “Invite Woody Allen to give motivational speech.”
Li Na, Australian Open champion – “Take up a hobby. My coach suggests tennis.”
Zhang Yimou, film director – “Spend more time with my babies. By which I mean, my films.”
