A touching video has resurfaced, capturing a rare moment from the golden age of Taiwanese variety shows. It features the late Bai Xiaoyan, daughter of beloved entertainer Bai Bingbing, performing on stage at just 12 years old.

Her mother, Bai Bingbing, watches from the side with an expression of immense pride and affection. The performance took place during a show hosted by the legendary Pig Geliang, who unexpectedly brought Bai Xiaoyan on stage, surprising both the audience and Bai Bingbing.

The video evokes a sense of nostalgia, tinged with sadness, as only Bai Bingbing and fellow performer Shen Mengsheng remain from the original lineup of Bai Bingbing, Pig Geliang, Yu Feng, Shen Mengsheng, and Bai Xiaoyan.
Thank you Brother Pig Geliang for leaving behind such a memorable video for me at that time.
