Taiwanese singer Sun Shu-mei, celebrating 30 years in the music industry, playfully addressed persistent questions about her youthful appearance during her recent concert at the Taipei Music Center. The 45-year-old star, known for her enduring beauty, surprised the audience by revealing her "doctors" were none other than her parents.

As the concert kicked off with an energetic performance of "I Want to Shine," Sun appeared in a striking red outfit. A montage of her musical milestones played on screen before she launched into beloved classics like "Don't Let Me Go" and "Love Sees Through." During her address to the fans, she introduced her parents, who were present at the venue, by showing photos of them wearing doctor's coats. "My parents are Dr. Sun and Dr. Wang," she quipped, "The doctor on the right (her father) looks very serious, like he's about to hit someone. Now everyone knows who my doctors are if you want to make an appointment."

The concert also featured a poignant moment when Sun performed "Osmanthus Alley," a song she tackled 30 years ago on the singing competition "21st Century Newcomer." A video of her 14-year-old self appeared on the big screen, creating a moving duet across time. Later, while singing "Missing Your Song," she ascended on a floral swing, filling the venue with a romantic atmosphere.

Reflecting on her career, Sun shared her dedication to revisiting her past performances. "It's really tough to sing songs from when I was 14 at the age of 45. I practiced a lot," she admitted. "I'm glad you've been with me on this journey. Thank you."
