Childhood and Adolescence
Lee Chih-Kai was born in Yilan County, Taiwan.
He started training as an artistic gymnast at six years old when he met his coach, Lin Yu-Shin.
Lee joined the gymnastic team when he studied in Gong Jheng Elementary School in Luo-Dong Township.
Lee was nicknamed “Market boy Kai” because he liked to perform his gymnastic skills in the traditional market where his parents worked.1 At the beginning of his career, Lee started practicing a difficult element named “Thomas Flairs”, which was commonly performed on the floor in gymnastics.
Because of his coach's suggestion, Lee moved the Thomas Flairs into his pommel horse routine when he studied in the middle school.2
When Lee Chih-Kai was 15, he left his hometown Yilan county and moved to Taoyuan city, where Lin Yu-Shin coached a university gymnastic team.
Lee practiced with the team in the early morning before going to school and returned to the gym after school.
During high school, he practiced at least 8 hours per day.
His coach said that Lee was not the most talented gymnast, but was the most hard-working one.3
In 2013, Lee Chih-Kai joined the adult national team training program.
He trained at the National Sports Training Center.4 Before Lee went to National Taiwan Sport University (NTSU), he had several competition experiences and was regarded as an upcoming star of Taiwanese gymnastics.

He was the first gymnast to qualify the Olympics since the 2000 Sydney Olympic games.
Lee was diagnosed with a broken right shinbone and a sprained right ankle one month before the Olympic game.
Lee lost the chance to move to the finals because these injuries affected his performance.
After the failure in the Olympic game, Lee started training overseas.
In addition, his coach helped him adapt to stressful environments by imitating the crowds and noisy environment when he was practicing.
In August 2017, Lee Chih-Kai won the gold medal in the pommel horse event in the Taipei Universiade by performing his signature “Thomas Flairs” movement in the routine.
Lee was the first Taiwanese male gymnast who won the gold medal in the pommel horse event.
With this win, he broke his best personal record in international competitions.7 Lee's Thomas Flairs movement has been included in the teaching template of the International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG).
In addition, his dismounting movement is regarded as the standard movement in the international gymnastic referee training conference.8
In the 2018 Indonesia Asian Games, Lee Chih-Kai won the gold medal in the pommel horse, which is the first gold medal in Asian Games in Taiwanese gymnastic history.9 In November of the same year, Lee won the bronze medal in the 2018 Doha World Challenge Cup.10

Newar people have developed a division of labor and a sophisticated urban civilization not seen elsewhere in the Himalayan foothills.
Newar people have continued their age-old traditions and practices and pride themselves as the true custodians of the religion, culture and civilization of Nepal.
They are the historical inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley and its surrounding areas in Nepal and the creators of its historic heritage and civilisation.
Newars form a linguistic and cultural community of primarily Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman ethnicities following Hinduism and Buddhism with Nepal Bhasa as their common language.
The Kathmandu Valley and surrounding territories constituted the former Newar kingdom of the Nepal Mandala.
Unlike other common-origin ethnic or caste groups of Nepal, the Newar people are regarded as an example of a nation community with a relic identity, derived from an ethnically-diverse, previously-existing polity.
Newar civilization within it consists of various strands of ethnic, racial, caste and religious heterogeneity, as they are the descendants of the diverse group of people that have lived in Nepal Mandala since prehistoric times.
A gong is an East and Southeast Asian musical percussion instrument.
It is a bowl-shaped, circular metal disc which a person hits with a mallet or thick padded stick.
Gongs produce two distinct types of sound.
A gong with a flat surface gives a "crash" rather than a tuned note.
In Indonesian gamelan ensembles, some gongs are made to give a beat note in the range from about 1 to 5 Hz.
The use of the term "gong" for both these types of instrument is common.
The Kathmandu Valley (, Nepal Bhasa: स्वनिगः, नेपाः गाः), historically known as Nepal Valley or Nepa Valley, lies at the crossroads of ancient civilizations of South Asia and the broader Asian continent, and has at least 130 important monuments, including several pilgrimage sites for Hindus and Buddhists.
Historically, the valley and adjoining areas made up a confederation known as the Nepal Mandala.
Until the 15th century, Khwopa was its capital, when two other capitals, Kathmandu and Yala, were established.
After the annexation of the valley by the Gorkha Kingdom, and subsequent conversion of the Valley as the capital of their empire, the designation of "Nepal" was extended to all the lands they had conquered.

The cost to build it was £72 million (£283 million today).
The building today has grade A office spaces, a restaurant on the 24th floor and a champagne and seafood bar on the 42nd floor.
