Taiwanese celebrity Hsu Meng-che required urgent medical attention after a mishap during the recording of the talk show "Ming Shi Suan Suan Guo" (Stars Calculate Fortune). The episode, themed "Is the End of Medicine Metaphysics? Diseases Untreatable by Hua Tuo Entrusted to Deities," featured Hsu discussing his ongoing health and fortune concerns.
I know Meng Zhe for 24 years, he looks very strong, but he is constantly injured.
Host Sun Hsi-chih, a long-time friend of Hsu, commented on his seemingly robust appearance despite persistent injuries. Hsu shared instances of accidental harm, including being hit by a large rock on a beach and fracturing his tailbone while bouncing on a yoga ball during a previous recording, which left him with chronic back pain. He humorously described his body as "seemingly strong, but as fragile as Snow White's skin, easily injured."
Metaphysics expert Yin Sen analyzed Hsu's "externally strong, internally weak" astrological chart, advising him to avoid high-risk professions. The expert also suggested removing elements associated with "water and wood," such as water dispensers or landscape paintings of mountains and water, from the northeast of his home to improve sleep quality.

During the show, Sun Hsi-chih expressed concern about the future of their group 5566, referencing the popular online phrase "56 cannot die." He jokingly asked Hsu if the group would eventually disband. Hsu, taken aback, questioned why Sun was focusing on their potential demise instead of their upcoming plans. Sun defended his foresight, stating that even if the current year's plans succeed, the group's long-term survival is paramount. Yin Sen, however, confidently declared, "56 cannot die and will not die," predicting a highly auspicious period for both Sun and Hsu, and advising them to heed Sun's suggestions for good fortune.

Recalling a past Golden Bell Award nomination, Sun mentioned a fortune teller's prediction that he would win unless a teammate was at fault. He playfully pressed Hsu about whether Wang Jen-pu or Hsu himself was responsible for him not winning. This lighthearted exchange led to Hsu's mock exasperation, "Are you trying to find the culprit now?" drawing laughter from the audience.
56 cannot die and will not die.
