After an enormously successful career spanning over four decades, veteran singer Fei Yu-ching officially retired from showbiz following the final two concerts of his farewell tour at the Taipei Arena on Wednesday and yesterday. The legendary singer performed his signature hit Goodnight Song for one last time, as he emotionally bid farewell to over 10,000 fans last night.
Fei, nicknamed “Xiao Ge” (literally “Little Brother”), is one of the most celebrated Taiwanese artists in the Chinese-language music world. Originally, the 64-year-old singer planned to retire following six shows at the Taipei Arena and two shows at the K-Arena in Kaohsiung in February and May, but then decided to add two shows this week to entertain more fans.
Fei once revealed that he intended to call it quits after his parents died, because without them his relationship with the glamorous life of the stage had changed. To thank his fans for their support, he also announced at the opening of his farewell tour on Feb. 8 his intention to donate NT$20 million (US$656,190) to charity.

費玉清曾透露，他在父母去世後就打算要封麥，因為站上絢麗的舞台讓他感到更孤獨。為了感謝歌迷的支持，他還在二月八日巡演首唱當天，宣布捐出台幣兩千萬元（六十五萬美元）做公益。

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing.
