UPLIFTING STORY 📖

Building Tomorrow: How Nan Lin Redefines Homebuilding with 3D Printing

For Nan Lin, entrepreneurship isn’t just business; it’s freedom. A freedom earned through sacrifice, relentless execution, and a refusal to accept the limits of a broken system. As the founder of Kaizen Capital and 4DIFY, Lin is reimagining the housing industry, tackling its inefficiencies with cutting-edge technology and a bold vision. His mission? To build stronger homes faster, at lower costs, empowering communities and challenging the status quo.

“We’re aiming to build at half the cost and in a quarter of the time,” Lin says. “That’s not a dream. It’s the direction we’re heading.”

Built with concrete, reinforced with rebar, and topped with metal roofs, these homes are resilient against fire, wind, earthquakes, mold, and pests. They’re also designed for long-term savings, with lower maintenance, less waste, and reduced energy and insurance costs.

“Critics doubted it would work,” Lin reflects. “But seeing is believing. This is the future.”

China’s Fiery Baijiu Spirit Evolves to Attract Younger Drinkers

Saja Boys and HUNTR/X, fictional groups from the animated film “KPop Demon Hunters,” were brought to life by animators and filmmakers with help from a slew of people within the K-pop world. Now, they’ve become global superstars.

Billboard said this week that the film’s score is now the highest-charting soundtrack of 2025 and that it has surpassed Disney’s “Encanto” to become the highest-charting soundtrack to an animated film. Hits from the film, such as “Your Idol” and “Golden,” have also topped the U.S. Spotify charts in the K-pop categories in recent weeks.

Chinese 12-Year-Old Yu Zidi Has Won a Bronze Relay Medal at the Swim World Championships

This summer, Disney+ invites viewers to dive into its splashy new crime series Low Life, featuring Ryu Seung-ryong and Yang Se-jong as an uncle and nephew team trying to get into the illicit business of excavating national artefacts off the Korean coast.

The first thing that jumps out while watching this jaunty caper is its sterling production value, which brings 1970s Korea to life through evocative period detail in a story that flits between the cluttered streets of Seoul and the sun-drenched harbour of Mokpo on Korea’s southern coast.

Know Your Value Proposition

Pain points and gain points are not necessarily new concepts, but some might think they are opposing concepts, when in contrast, the two complement each other. Through customer pain and gain points, you can get a better understanding of your customers’ needs, and offer a unique value proposition.

• Pain point: As the name suggests, it’s something that “pains” your customers; an issue that they have that needs to be addressed; a challenge that they need to overcome.

• Gain point: Gain point, on the other hand, is more about you. What can your product or service do for the customers; what can they gain from using your service; what can you help them with?

The two are extremely simple and are a good place to start when you’re trying to advertise your product or service since they consider both your and your customer’s sides to offer a value proposition that is valuable. more effective and less costly. Understanding the journey can help you win the race.
