To celebrate the 25th anniversary of her 1994 debut, singer CoCo Lee is holding a concert at the Taipei Arena tonight. It has been nine years since her last concert in the same venue. Meanwhile, CoCo’s two-CD greatest hits set “You & I” will be released today, and seven of her top-selling albums are set to be reissued simultaneously.
CoCo is one of the most celebrated singers in the Chinese-speaking world. For tonight’s show, she is reportedly inviting hit singer Jolin Tsai onstage as a special guest. CoCo will visit again as a celebrity endorser when Line Music launches services in Taiwan during the summer vacation.
Irish band Boyzone will also stage a show at the Linkou Stadium of Taoyuan’s National Taiwan Sport University tomorrow. The show is part of the band’s last Asian tour, as it bids farewell to fans before it breaks up in October. Singer Brian McFadden, a former member of Irish boyband Westlife, will be the support act.

Cabbage, which is sometimes called the “national vegetable,” is said to be able to prevent osteoporosis. In this regard, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has clarified that simply eating cabbage is not enough.

Oh, no, you’re short-sighted! (3/5) 完蛋了，你近視了！ （三） A: Do your eyes feel any better after using those eye drops I prescribed for you last time? B: It’s easier for me to see things now, but I still can’t see the words on the blackboard all that clearly. A: OK, so I think you should be wearing glasses. There’s an optician next door with professional optometrists, so you can go over there and see them. B: What do you think about me having laser surgery? A: Your short-sightedness is not that serious, it won’t have too much of an impact on your everyday life, so I don’t think you need to have
