I really don't deserve this honor, to be able to invite everyone to gather here.

He also expressed deep gratitude for their unwavering support over the years, calling Taiwanese fans the most passionate he has encountered globally. He shared a touching sentiment about his wife, stating, "No matter where I go, the place with my wife is 'home.'" He dedicated a rendition of Jiang Hui's Taiwanese classic "Jia Hou" to her, with wedding photos displayed on the screen, creating a deeply emotional moment.
No matter where I go, the place with my wife is 'home!'
The surprise came when his wife, Xiao Feng, appeared on stage with flowers and a kiss, catching Chyi Chin off guard. The couple's rare public display of affection earned warm applause. Chyi Chin also humorously revealed that he had invited singer Lin Hui-ping to perform a duet but she declined.
