After 24 years hosting ‘Let’s Have Fun With Destiny,’ He Duolin is using his new free time to live at a slower pace in Bangkok and stay connected with fans online.

He left the long-running Taiwanese fortune-telling talk show in June. He later spent the entire summer month at his home in Bangkok, where he enjoyed a more relaxed routine. He has also begun livestreaming frequently through his Facebook fan page, discussing everyday activities such as cooking, eating and shopping.

The livestreams often last more than an hour and draw hundreds of comments and likes, according to the report. He has also discussed plans to attend classes with fans.

One planned Taichung event, described as a half-day high-speed rail class trip, would cover smartphone photography, short-form video and social media, financial planning for older adults, and practical legal issues involving wills.

In the past, whenever I traveled far, I always had to calculate the time so I could rush back to film. This June, my hosting work on Let’s Have Fun With Destiny happened to come to an end, so I have more free time from now on. It looks like I can plan to travel farther and visit more places.
