The apprentices of Wu Zhao-nan are holding a ceremony tomorrow in memory of the late legendary crosstalk performer. Wu died of multiple organ failure at home in Los Angeles, the US on Oct. 14 at the age of 92. The ceremony is set to take place at Taipei Zhongshan Hall’s Zhongzheng Auditorium at 10pm tomorrow, and all fans are welcome to pay their final respects to the master.
After relocating from China to Taiwan, Wu started to do Chinese crosstalk, which is a traditional comic dialogue, with his partners Wei Long-hao and Chen Yi-an in the 1950s. He became widely-known after releasing the nation’s first crosstalk record with Wei in the 1960s. Wu won numerous awards during his extraordinary career and was formally named a “living national treasure” by the government.
The versatile artist even developed the famous Taiwanese dish “Mongolian barbecue” when he opened an eatery many years ago, and today this Taiwanese dish has become popular throughout the world.

傳奇相聲大師吳兆南辭世後，他的徒弟們將於明日為他舉行紀念追思會。他因多重器官衰竭，稍早十月十四日於美國洛杉磯家中過世，享壽九十二歲。追思會預計於明早十點在台北市中山堂中正廳舉辦，並歡迎粉絲們前來向大師致上最後的敬意。
吳兆南從中國搬遷至台灣以後，自一九五○年代起和搭檔魏龍豪、陳逸安表演中式相聲，也就是傳統喜劇對話，之後他與魏龍豪在一九六○年代推出台灣首張相聲唱片而聲名遠播。在精彩的演藝生涯中獲獎無數，更被政府正式認定為「人間國寶」。
這位多才多藝的藝人當年開小吃店時，甚至還創造出「蒙古烤肉」這種知名的台式料理，如今這道台灣美食在世界各地都相當受歡迎。

Mok Tsz-ching, a doctoral student at Nantou County’s National Chi Nan University, is a coffee aficionado, who by chance stumbled across the exotic flavor and unique taste of wine-infused coffee. Mok experimented using a mixture of red wine and Aboriginal millet wine with premium coffee beans grown in Nantou County’s Yuchih Township to produce a wine-infused coffee that releases a heady, boozy aroma during brewing and has a fruity, honeyed flavor with notes of dried longan and a hint of charred wood. After the first sip, Mok was hooked on the curious flavor and embarked on a journey to develop
