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。

A: The Danjiang Bridge in New Taipei City is to open on May 12, and the MRT Sanying Line (Light Blue Line) will also open in June. Isn’t that great? B: Is that the bridge connecting the city’s Tamsui and Bali Districts? What’s so special about this new landmark spanning the Tamsui River? A: The Danjiang Bridge will become the world’s longest-span single-mast asymmetric cable-stayed bridge — with a total river-crossing section of 920 meters and main span of 450 meters.

Few sea creatures of their size have as much destructive power as pistol shrimp. These small animals, usually measuring around four centimeters long, produce shock waves that can stun or even kill their prey. The attack begins when the shrimp opens its specialized claw, allowing water to fill a chamber inside. Then the claw closes rapidly. A bump on the claw strikes the chamber, forcing the trapped water out through a narrow opening at a high speed of about 25 meters per second. The rapid movement forms a bubble in the water that collapses almost instantly under the pressure of the
In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild. What Jane discovered shocked the world. Chimpanzees weren’t mere creatures of instinct; they were individuals with emotions, families, and even the capacity for tool
