Andy is in Taiwan now for the newest Mandarin album, “Miracle World” promotion. He became the first singer who rode Taiwan Maokong Gondola and performed at the Maokong Zhinan Temple station. Andy’s appearance attracted several thousands of fans and Taiwan people. And the number of runs of Maokong gondolas was increased to smooth the flow of people going up and down the mountain. The whole event ran smoothly, but before Andy go up to the mountain, there was a small happening, a passenger carelessly dropped camera tools from the gondola on the mountain, unfortunately the tools hit passer-by woman, she bled from her head and taken to the hospital for treatment. When Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation had information that Andy comes to Taiwan for new album promotion, they sincerely invited Andy for “Maokong Gondola Ai de ding ning concert” and riding on Maokong Gondola. They hope to promote and guide people “riding manner” and “safety hint” with the positive image of Andy. At 7 am in the morning. Many Taiwanese fans and people gathered outside the Maokong station with the hope to see Andy, and there was a long line formed for gondola to the mountain to see Andy’s show. For the first time in history, that many people gathered there. A man queued at the head of the line did a TV interview and said with excitement that “Since it is a rare chance to see Andy, I could even come here earlier” Although people have to walk mountain path for about 10 minuets to reach the venue where Andy perform, people’s enthusiasm to Andy never fade even in a scorching hot, 38 degree temperature in Taipei. It was before noon but the number of people waiting for Andy outside the Zhinan temple square already reached almost 3000. At 1:30pm, Andy appeared Maokong Gondola station, and there were 15 children beside Andy. They are around 4-8 years old children. Andy invited 15 Taiwanese children from orphans home to accompany him for the first ride of the “Maokong trip” since he thinks it is not interesting to ride on it alone. The group of people triumphantly got in the gondola, after that, performed at “Zhinan temple square”. Andy sang “One” and “Mu di” in 38 degree temperature under the flaming sun, and played a finger-guessing game with the children and the audience, Andy sweated all over on stage, he seemed like a “water” person. Andy said to audience with laugh “Today, the enthusiasm of all of you melted me” The audience screamed with joy, many people gave Andy water with ice, wet towel, and mineral water to satisfy his thirst, Andy was very moved by his supporter’s consideration. It was the first time for Andy to ride Maokong Gondola. He said with all smiles after getting off the gondola, “I enjoyed the ride very much! I could see many views of Taipei from the height, I could even see the TAIPEI 101 building, the view was so beautiful. As to the hot weather, I already had a psychological preparation that it might hotter than this, but when I reached to the mountain side, it started blowing cool breeze, so the gondola was not muggy at all!” He didn’t know about the accident that a passer-by woman was hit by the thing dropped from the gondola in this morning, and he came to know about it by TV news when he changes his cloths at his hotel room after the event. Andy said, “I hope she is all right, I wish her early recovery, I hope everyone to be more careful when riding gondola, don’t be careless to drop things again” Andy said that after he knows about it, he immediately instructed his staff to express sympathy and comfort to her, and presented his album with autograph to wish her early recovery.
