Last year, when Join Tsai was invited to visit her fan Tseng Ying-Chi who contracted muscle dystrophy, his condition was already at its worst.
A video which was secretly pre-recorded to comfort Ying-Chi's parents was played at his memorial service a few days ago.
In the video, Jolin choked back on tears and said, "No matter what happened, I think that as Ying-Chi's parents, the both of you have been very brave.
"Although the both of you were always tough in front of him, I know you must be hurting deep within. I am really worried for the both of you."
Touched by the message from Jolin, Ying-Chi's parents burst into tears at the memorial service. Jolin, who was already on the verge of tears in the video, added, "I hope that the both of you will continue to live on with that bravery."
It was reported that the video clip was filmed and edited by documentary director Xu Feng Ming, and it was director Xu who arranged for Jolin to meet up with Ying-Chi through a friend.
After learning of Ying-Chi's deteriorating condition and his heartbroken parents, director Xu who was filming a documentary on children with muscle dystrophy at the time, secretly asked Jolin to record said message, in hope that it'll motivate Ying-Chi's parents to live on after his passing.
The video has since been posted online and is said to have touched many of Jolin's fans.
