Central News Agency (Taipei, April 26) — Singer Long Qian-yu, who has been in the industry for 48 years, fulfilled her dream yesterday by holding her first solo concert, 'Man's Emotion, Woman's Heart.' She joked that she had lived like an ascetic for the past three months, but the success of the Taichung show has given her the confidence to believe that more concert news will be announced soon.
Long Qian-yu mentioned that for this 'first battle of her life,' her lifestyle over the past three months was like that of an ascetic, involving intensified exercise and strict dieting to ensure a better performance.

'If everyone doesn't mind me, I will continue to persist on the path of singing,' she said. She added that the Taichung stop gave her a lot of confidence. She plans to take a good rest first and believes that news of new shows will be shared with fans very soon.
