The event also drew notable guests like Cheng I, Ting Dai, and Chen Yi-han, who came to show their support.

We filmed a movie together, and you played A-Pei. I told you, you were so brave. We both acted without makeup. You even wore glasses, which made you look terribly ugly.

Reflecting on their film collaboration, Hsu playfully teased Sun Shu-mei about her bare-faced appearance in the movie. "We filmed a movie together, and you played A-Pei. I told you, you were so brave," Hsu recalled. "We both acted without makeup. You even wore glasses, which made you look terribly ugly." Hsu praised Sun Shu-mei's acting, noting how different she was on screen compared to her off-screen persona. Sun Shu-mei, in turn, complimented Hsu's beauty and spoke about the joy of acting, describing it as living a magical life by becoming someone else.

I thought you were so cute when I saw you outside, and it was hard to imagine A-Pei being the same person. You looked completely different, so you acted very well.

I think being an actor allows you to become someone else and live a magical life. It's great.
