A young Canadian man walking onto the stage at Kingglory Plaza to compete for the female role of Lin Daiyu in the TV series “A Dream of Red Mansions” became the most attention-grabbing event in Shenzhen on Christmas Day.

Of more than 10,000 people competing for the acting roles in the city, more than 200 came from Hong Kong, 70 from Macao and 20 from foreign countries.

Jules Nilsen, from Calgary, west Canada, who is in his 20s, became the focus of interest among a group of girls dressing up for the occasion. [Full Text]
