No matter what Teacher Ah-teh says, we must attend to support Sister Chen.

Hsu Chi-hao, despite initial reservations from Hsu Chi-teh, insisted on attending to show his respect for the senior artist. He revealed that he and Yu Mei-jen had privately agreed to support Chen Ying-chieh regardless of any objections. During the concert, Yu Mei-jen was moved to tears by Chou Hui's rendition of Chen Ying-chieh's classic song "Wind Sand," reflecting on the singer's bravery in facing life's challenges.

Chen Ying-chieh was sentenced to three years and two months for inciting the forgery of securities and began her sentence in August 2023. She was granted medical parole in October of the same year due to acute kidney failure and sepsis. Recent reports have frequently mentioned her critical condition.
