Singer and television host Jacky Wu is organizing a special "Mid-Autumn Reunion Edition" of his "Diamond Stage Night" concert series, scheduled for September 26-27 at the Taipei International Convention Center. The event aims to evoke a nostalgic era of families gathering to watch television together.
Now that he is a Heavenly King, we talk on the phone every month, and he visits me every year when he returns to Taiwan to catch up. I am very touched by this.
Wu revealed that ticket sales are still only half complete, prompting support from his close friends. Richie Jen, who began his career as a host under Wu's mentorship on "Super Winning," has generously donated and purchased tickets. Jen, who has remained close with Wu for over 30 years, continues to call Wu monthly and visit him when in Taiwan, a gesture that deeply touches Wu.
Chang Yi-ping, Wu's former co-host on the popular show "Very Men," has also stepped in to support the concert by buying tickets. Both Jen and Chang's actions have moved Wu, highlighting their long-standing friendships and support for his endeavors.
That was the first time we held "Diamond Stage Night," and he agreed to perform without hesitation, donating his entire performance fee to charity. He waited 8 hours backstage without any complaints and even offered suggestions to make the performance more exciting, allowing newcomers to share the stage with him. He has no airs or barriers of a big star.
Jen previously headlined the "Diamond Stage Night" concert in February, donating his entire performance fee to charity and working collaboratively with the girl group AKB48 Team TP. Wu praised Jen's professionalism and humility, noting his willingness to help newcomers and his lack of airs despite his status as a superstar. Jen's current support, despite his busy schedule caring for his elderly parents, is seen by Wu as a testament to his character and dedication.
I thought he was thinking of me for Father's Day, but it turned out he was expressing his support for the "Diamond Stage Night" Mid-Autumn Edition with his actions.
The "Diamond Stage Night" Mid-Autumn Edition will feature Hong Rong-hong and Wakin Chau as headliners, with Wu hosting alongside Kang Kang, O.D., Xiao Zhen, and Lai Hui-ru. The concert will also include performances by Cai Chiu-feng, Tseng Hsin-mei, Wang Cai-hua, Weng Li-you, Sun Hsi-chih, Chung Tsai-ying, Wang Jian-chi, and Luxy Girls. Tickets are available through the Era ticketing system.
Xiao Qi's success in life and career, in addition to his dedication to performance and continuous learning, is also due to his filial piety and original intentions, which have not changed since I met him. Although he is not performing this time, I am very grateful that he is responding to "Diamond Stage Night" in another way.
