“

You would change my Taiwanese lines into the most natural phrasing for me, and then secretly teach me, so I wouldn't feel pressured to say them a certain way. You would use humor to relieve my stress when I had too many scenes and was exhausted, even when you were also very tired.

On the seventh day after his death, a traditional mourning period, his on-screen mother, actress Tsai Tsan-te, shared a heartfelt tribute on Facebook. She recalled a particularly moving scene from the drama where Fu Tzu-chun's character grieved intensely over her on-screen death, a moment that resonated with many viewers. The reality of his passing has brought back that sorrow for his fans.

Tsai Tsan-te revealed Fu Tzu-chun's private acts of kindness, particularly his support for her Taiwanese dialect lines. He would subtly rephrase her dialogue to sound more natural and teach her without pressure. She also remembered his efforts to lighten the mood on set when she was exhausted, even when he himself was tired.

“

You once sincerely apologized to me, just because we were only five years apart but had to play mother and son, a common situation in dramas. You said you felt bad that I had to wear older makeup, and you even cut your hair, wanting to look younger yourself, so that I could look beautiful on screen.

Despite being only five years older than Fu Tzu-chun, Tsai Tsan-te played his mother in the drama. Fu Tzu-chun had expressed sincere apologies for the age difference and the need for her to wear older makeup. He even cut his hair shorter to appear younger, hoping to make her look more radiant on screen.

You don't know how good he was! Every time I say it, I think of you. And now, everyone knows even more what a good person you were, but you are already gone.

"You don't know how good he was!" Tsai Tsan-te quoted a line from her current role, which she now dedicates to Fu Tzu-chun. She noted that more people now understand what a wonderful person he was, even as he is no longer with them. She concluded her tribute with warm wishes for his journey to a better place, expressing her deep affection for her "special friend."

May you go to a better place with everyone's blessings. I will truly miss you, my special friend.
