According to Hsia, Wen-cheng was purportedly offered US$2 billion (S$2.67 billion) to return to the stage. He is tired of the constant invitations to perform, so he decided to fake his death. Hsia said Wen-Cheng later contacted him hoping to stop deceiving the public, so he revealed the truth.
Hsia elaborated: "He is not interested in earning money! How could he stop singing at 29 years old, yet wants to sing at 70?"
