On August 16th, talent Agnes Chan attended the launch of her new book "Why Don't Poppies Wither?" (Wani Books) in Tokyo. On this day, to commemorate the book's release on August 20th, Agnes' birthday, she held both the launch event and a birthday live concert.
In reference to the title of her new book, when asked what the secret is to "not withering away," Agnes answered, "There are a few things, like eating foods that suit your constitution, but your attitude is very important. Be curious and jump into all kinds of things, and never lose your desire to learn. Keep dreaming."
She also spoke about the importance of staying healthy, saying, "Being alive is a blessing and something to be grateful for. When I wake up in the morning and think, 'I feel fine today,' or 'I don't have any pain today,' that day is a celebration. When I think like that, I don't worry about small things and I can be kinder to everyone."
She also revealed that her clothing size hasn't changed since she was 20 years old, saying, "I can wear clothes from 50 years ago. I can wear clothes from 30 years ago with no problem. My body shape hasn't changed much," which drew gasps of surprise from the audience.
