Pop-rock icon Ashin falls off stage mid-concert in Shanghai

2025-12-23

The lead singer of Mayday suffered a very public fall during a concert in Shanghai on Monday. The vocalist was halfway through the event when he lost his step and fell off the stage. Though he was injured and bleeding, he quickly returned to the stage after getting a quick checkup from medics.

Mayday lead singer Ashin joined boy group F3, formerly F4, on a nostalgia-packed concert in Shanghai.

But halfway-through the performance, Ashin lost his step and fell off the stage, hitting his head against the lights. The members of F3 quickly ran over to check on him. The singer was injured and bleeding, but after a quick fix-up he was back onstage.

Ashin jokingly asked the members of F3 for a healing kiss. After the show, he posted online that he was OK, but when speaking to fans, he had other things on his mind.

I would also like to thank Ken, who was unable to be here this time. I know that this isn’t exactly what everyone was hoping for, but I’ll keep working hard to make the most beautiful show for all of you.

Ashin was referring to Ken Chu from the former F4, who did not join the tour. But Ashin says he hopes to one day put on a “most beautiful view” for fans.

Lower limb exoskeleton robot helps people with reduced mobility walk

Wistron Medical Technology and Taipei 101 have jointly donated a lower limb exoskeleton robot worth NT$3 million to Keelung hospital to help with the rehabilitation of stroke patients, along with other people with mobility impairments. The results have been impressive. Mr. Lin in his 50s has been suffering the effects of a stroke for nine years. This technology has helped him regain his ability to move significantly.

With support from others, he starts walking, with the assistance of this machine. Mr. Lin, in his 50s, had a stroke nine years ago. He had usually relied on the likes of walking frames to walk. Now, after using this lower limb exoskeleton robot for a month and a half and training, his life has changed significantly.

Mr. Lin
Patient
First, my muscles have improved a lot. Second, I’ve improved a lot in climbing stairs. I can walk using my natural strength now.

After 12 sessions, twice a week for one hour each time, and with enhanced training in sitting, standing, half squats and walking, Mr. Lin showed improvement in his balance, walking, and climbing up and down stairs. This exoskeleton, valued at NT$3 million, was donated to Keelung Hospital by Wistron Medical Technology and Taipei 101. It is a boon for patients with reduced mobility.

Huang Chun-tung
Wistron Medical Technology
Our original hope was to enable those in need, whether it’s due to degeneration, disease or simply aging, to regain their mobility.

Chiu Pei-lin
Deputy Keelung mayor
For most spinal patients and stroke patients, the most important thing about this machine is rehabilitation. After using it, he said that the speed of going downstairs can be increased by 50% and the speed of going upstairs can be increased by 67%, which is amazing.

Lin San-chi
Keelung Hospital superintendent
In the past, people had to travel long and tiring distances to other counties and cities because we didn’t have this equipment. Now that we do, we hope everyone who needs rehabilitation—and is actively working on it—can make full use of this device.

Keelung Hospital has become the first hospital in Taiwan to assist rehabilitation treatments with the use of this medical technology. With its support, patients are regaining their mobility.

Woman’s new treatment plan eliminates hundreds of tumors within two months

A woman from Yilan was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer many years ago, with doctors finding hundreds of tumors in her lungs. Targeted treatment proved ineffective, leaving her wheelchair bound. She returned home to seek treatment at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital. After just two short months at the hospital, all of her tumors have miraculously disappeared.

74-year-old Ms. Sung is a portrait of health. You’d have never guessed that eight years ago, she was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer with hundreds of tumors appearing in her lungs. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, with one tumor even growing to 18cm.

That was a very difficult time for me.

At the time, she needed a wheelchair and oxygen to get around. She decided to return to her hometown in Yilan for treatment at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hospital. Doctors there decided to abandon targeted treatment and instead try chemotherapy. After just two months, all the tumors in her liver and lungs reduced dramatically, and have all but disappeared.

Wang Wei-shu
NYCU Hospital director
Traditionally, you need lots of people to come up with a treatment plan. But now with the development of AI, we’ve discovered it can provide valuable assistance in this area.

Huang Chih-hsien
NYCU Hospital president
The key is early detection and treatment. The treatment strategy for cancer is incredibly important. So our entire team works together to develop plans for all of our patients.

Three years ago, Ms. Sung’s tumor marker rose to 197, and a new 1.2cm tumor appeared in her liver. The hospital used precision radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy, eventually succeeding in eliminating the tumor once again.

Ms. Sung
Patient
Just seeing a doctor makes me feel like I’m halfway to recovery. That sense of reliance and warmth that seeps deep into your heart is hard to describe.

The hospital emphasized that this rare case in which a patient reversed her terminal cancer diagnosis demonstrates the importance of personalized treatment and interdepartmental collaboration. It also gives new hope to many cancer patients.

University hosts cooking competition between student and robot

Could an artificially intelligent robot cook better food than a trained chef? Hungkuang University in Taichung recently sought to answer this question, hosting a competition between a real chef and an AI chef. They prepared the same dish, and a panel of 13 judges voted for their favorite. Let’s take a look at the result.

A chef cooks at one side of the table, as steam rises from a machine on the other. On the right, a second-year culinary student adds ingredients and stir-fries the dish by hand. On the left, a smart machine is running the show, advising what ingredient to put in next.

Wu Sung-lien
Culinary arts department director
The results come from the students’ technical background, their sense of taste, and their on-the-spot responses.

Liang Hao-min
Smart device maker
A machine would definitely be better than humans at heat control and overall mixing speed.

Two Hakka-style stir-fries are ready to be served. They look pretty much the same, but 13 students judged their taste.

The meat made by the AI is tougher, and the student’s is tenderer.

I voted for the AI dish because its flavor suits my taste better.

The competition was neck and neck. It all came down to the last few votes.

Number two is AI.

The AI’s spiciness was more to my liking.

I like a stronger flavor, so I voted for the one done by hand.

I thought that the AI’s squid was a little tenderer.

Hungkuang University hosted this competition between a student chef and an AI chef. In the end, the AI chef secured a narrow victory, winning by seven votes to six.

Su Hung-yi
Hungkuang University president
Collaboration is very important. How can we pair machines well with humans? AI has the advantage of being very precise and fast, but it lacks the sense of human-to-human interaction.

In the first half of this year, the restaurant and hospitality industry had the highest job vacancy rate, according to data from the Ministry of Labor. To handle the staffing shortage, 17% of restaurants have started using robots as servers. As this competition shows, AI in addition to making up for a lack of servers could even take the place of chefs.

Taitung County wins award for musical and cultural events

The Taitung County Government has joined up with community groups to create the “Wall-less Dome Concert,” a series of open air musical events and cultural activities that gets its name, organizers say, as nature itself acts as the surrounding walls and ceiling for each event. This year the activity won the 8th Government Service Award. Let’s find out more about it.

The Taitung County Government in collaboration with NGOs won the 8th Government Service Award for its “Wall-less Dome Concerts.”

Yao Ching-ling
Taitung County Commissioner
I feel that for the Taitung County government whenever we get into the finals and win an award, it is a great affirmation. Over the years, in addition to the Chihshang Fall Harvest and the Moonlit Sea Concert, we have made use of the most beautiful starry sky so that everyone can appreciate the importance of nature.

Liang Cheng-hsien
Art association
Actually our Chih Shang Township Taitung County Culture and Art Association has been organizing these activities for 17 years since our founding. This year we are really grateful to the county government for helping us to submit our application so that we could go into partnership with them. As long as we forge ahead, the county government will always be our biggest support.

Big names took turns in singing performances, making fans in the audience mesmerized. These outdoor music events combine music with local culture and tourism, pushing the slow economy in Taitung to develop a distinctive character.

Blake Pu
Taitung County Government
This enables our local industries to put down deep roots and allows for the cultivation of local talent. Each individual is not only nurtured by the county government but is also able to grow and thrive independently.

These open air music events have gradually become a unique Taitung brand. They don’t only create a lively atmosphere but also help to drive tourism in accommodation and dining.

Taipei launches fundraiser for knife attack victims, making up for lack of relevant laws

Three victims were killed in last Friday’s knife attacks in Taipei. Among them was Yu Chia-chang, who tried to stop the attacker. His family can receive up to NT$12.80 million in compensation and insurance claims, from the city government. However, the families of the other two victims who lost their lives are not eligible for bereavement compensation, due to a lack of relevant laws. For the moment, the Taipei City Government is planning to launch a fundraiser for these two families, so they can be better compensated.

The Taipei City Government is looking to compensate the surviving family of Yu Chia-chang, who lost his life trying to stop the knife attacks, up to NT$12.8 million. The amount includes a NT$1.8 million compensation for being a victim of crime, NT$6 million in bereavement compensation, and NT$5 million in insurance claims from Taipei Metro. However, the other two victims killed are not eligible for bereavement compensation, as they did not actively stop the attacks. A Taipei City councilor is looking to change that.

Hsu Shu-hua
Taipei City Councilor (DPP)
At present, the families of the three victims can only receive NT$1.8 million in compensation from the Association for Victims Support. As for their funeral costs, it seems that the Taipei City Government will provide full financing. However, only Mr. Yu is eligible for bereavement compensation. We hope to raise the highest amount possible in insurance claims and bereavement compensation for all victims.

The family of one of the victims, a motorcyclist surnamed Hsiao, can receive NT$1.8 million from the government. Additionally, since he was on the way to work at the time, the city’s Department of Labor will offer the equivalent of 45 months’ salary in occupational hazard compensation and subsidies. On the other hand, the family of the other victim, surnamed Wang, who was shopping after work at the time, is only eligible for the NT$1.8 million amount.

Wang Chiu-tung
Taipei Department of Labor
Mr. Hsiao was killed on his way to work, so his family is eligible for occupational hazard-related compensation, including 40 months’ salary in compensation and 5 months’ in funeral grant.

Chan Wei-yuan
Taipei councilor (KMT)
If some councilors believe that current eligibility criteria for compensation are too strict and would like to loosen them, I think we can raise a motion to amend the relevant regulations. That’s certainly feasible. However, we must still govern by law.

Many believe that current eligibility criteria for bereavement compensation could be loosened. For the time being, the Taipei City Government has pledged to start a fundraiser for the victims.
