The Beijing Bikini refers to the habit of men exposing their belly by rolling up their shirt.

China, where the new coronavirus emerged in December, has reported more than 82,000 cases and 4,632 deaths.

While some life events can be postponed until after the pandemic, others – like a bar mitzvah, the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony – are harder to put off.
That means many families are holding the ritual online. Daniel Finkelstein, a columnist at The Times, is among them, after his son Isaac reached the milestone age of 13.
Isaac read the Torah over Zoom – normally a key part of the occasion at the synagogue – as family and friends watched.

"We've had offers as far away as Australia and New Zealand," said ECB chief executive Tom Harrison.

Image source, Getty ImagesChelsea's first-team players will not be taking a pay cut to contribute to the football club during the coronavirus pandemic, but will "focus on further supporting other charitable causes".
It had been reported that the Premier League club's men's team would take a 10% cut this month.
Meanwhile, Norwich City will "stick to their guns" on a decision to furlough non-playing staff, with the club expected to lose up to £35m because of coronavirus.
The Canaries and Newcastle are the only Premier League clubs currently using the government's job retention scheme.
If you're just getting ready for lunch – after having already munched through breakfast, second breakfast and elevenses – you might be wondering if all this time stuck at home is driving us to comfort eating.
Researchers from the University of East Anglia are tracking our lifestyle changes during lockdown, and say it may be encouraging some of us to "throw caution to the wind".
"People use all kinds of excuses for bad behaviour, and certainly Covid-19 is a very good excuse," says Prof Anne-Marie Minihane, who leads the nutrition and eating behaviour strand of the study.
But while some of us are grazing on chocolate and biscuits, she says under-eating is just as much of a risk – particularly for the elderly.
Eating disorder specialists say they have also seen an increase in referrals, while people in recovery from conditions such as anorexia say they are having to cope without some of their usual support.

Image source, Getty ImagesSweden's approach to managing the pandemic has generated global interest.
The policy of avoiding lockdown and keeping large parts of society open is widely supported by the Swedish public but has led to debate over whether it is a sensible plan or one that could cause unnecessary deaths.
Photos have been shared around the world of bars with crammed outdoor seating and long queues for waterfront ice cream kiosks, and yet it is a myth that life here goes on as normal - as people voluntary take to social distancing.
But how serious is Sweden's outbreak? Why did it choose a different path to other countries and what do the figures tell us so far about how effective the strategy is?
Coronavirus is continuing its spread across the world, with about 2.8 million confirmed cases now in 185 countries. At least 197,500 people have died.
The United States has more than four times as many confirmed cases as any other country.
Spain’s coronavirus death toll rose to 22,902 on Saturday, but the increase of 378 was only slightly up on Friday’s 367, the lowest recorded figure in the past month.
The overall number of cases rose to 223,759 from 219,764 the day before, Spanish media reported.
In Russia, there have been 66 more fatalities bringing the total to 681 from 74,588 confirmed infections, with 5,966 new cases.
New infections dropped for the second day running in Germany, where 5,500 people have died. The number of cases rose by 2,055 to 152,438.
A total of 5,650 deaths, up by 67, have been confirmed in Iran, where 89,328 people have been diagnosed with the virus.
Image source, ReutersLow-cost airline Wizz Air will resume flying on routes out of Vienna from the start of next month, its chief executive has told local news agency APA. Its UK arm said it will also restart flights from London Luton Airport.
The phased return to operations makes the airline among the first in Europe to announce plans to increase flights after coronavirus left many planes grounded.
The pandemic has hit international flights hard, with the number of departures at UK airports falling by 90% and leaving some at risk of closure.
Wizz Air chief executive Josef Varadi told an Aviation Week webcast that he hoped to restart operations with about 30% of the airline's normal capacity, external, increasing to 75% or 80% in the next two to three months.
But he said that depended on European countries co-ordinating their pandemic measures to a greater extent. Europe is a "complete mess" at the moment, he said.
The airline said it would introduce "enhanced" health and safety measures, with new distancing measures during boarding, cabin crew wearing masks and gloves, and aircraft disinfected overnight.

Captain Tom tops the charts, breaking record
Captain Tom Moore, 99, has become the oldest artist to reach the top spot of BBC Radio 1's The Official Chart.
His rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone is the fastest-selling single of 2020, with 82,000 copies and proceeds going to the NHS Charities Together fund.
After previously raising more than £28m ($34m) with a sponsored walk around his Bedfordshire back garden, he collaborated with Michael Ball and the NHS Voices of Care Choir to release the song.
The previous oldest chart-topper, Welsh singer Tom Jones, sent a message of congratulations to the war veteran.
"If I was going to lose my record to anyone, it was an an honour to lose it to you," said Jones, who was 68 when he sang on charity single Barry Islands in the Stream, which reached number one in 2009.

The UK has less than a week to reach its target of carrying out 100,000 coronavirus tests a day. But with its test booking website overloaded with requests within an hour of reopening on Saturday morning, can it scale up fast enough?
The UK was managing about 20,000 tests daily last week but ministers said there was more capacity going unused.
Now it has opened up testing to 10 million key workers and their families to ensure they do not have to self-isolate at home unnecessarily.
Greater testing could also inform decisions around social distancing and lockdowns, but tests are not available for the general public yet.
Image source, AFPIndia has allowed small local stores to reopen a month after the country went into lockdown.
The interior ministry said only half of staff could work and they had to observe social distancing measures and wear a mask.
The government is attempting to gradually restart economic activity.
India has nearly 25,000 confirmed cases and 780 people have died.

The strong rejection of President Trump's disinfectant comments continues.
During a coronavirus taskforce briefing on Thursday, he suggested research into whether Covid-19 might be treated by injecting disinfectant into the body.
He also appeared to propose irradiating patients' bodies with UV light.
On Friday, Trump said his comments had been made "sarcastically".
Doctors have warned that some people might take the president's comments seriously.
Speaking to the BBC, Dr Jonathan Spicer warned that "these products have corrosive properties that melt or destroy the lining of our innards".

The head of the Dutch FA says it was a "bitter day" cancelling the Eredivisie season early and thinks it is "very doubtful" the Premier League will be able to complete the 2019-20 campaign.
The top Dutch league was abandoned on Friday with no promotion or relegation and no champions.
Major events in the Netherlands are banned until September because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Just Spee, president of the Dutch FA, the KNVB, said the prospects of football elsewhere in Europe behind closed doors were "slim".
