My favorite TV show is a Taiwanese Show called News Wa Wa Wah. I watch it everyday on Youtube thanks to Frank, who uploads many Taiwanese shows on his "fengshuimaster0" channel. Two days ago, Frank posted that his father had gotten ill suddenly, so he wouldn't be able to upload more videos until his father gets better, probably in a week or two. All the subscribers wished his father well and waited patiently for Frank's return. Then a day ago, Frank posted another message saying that he will no longer upload anymore videos on his Youtube channel and we should email him for the new channel name. We were all stunned, not sure what happened there. Will I have to look for other sources for my favorite show now?! 6 hours later, Frank posted another message saying his new Youtube channel is called "TaiwanTalks". So I immediately looked up TaiwanTalks and it seemed legitimate, so I am a bit relieved and decided to wait until Frank uploads new shows in a week or so. Then today, Frank posted a message on TaiwanTalks and explained what happened. Apparently, he got a divorce and "fengshuimaster0" was his ex-wife's account and she was the one posted a message telling everyone that Frank will no longer be uploading videos onto this account.

Apparently, Frank's ex-wife is Master Lin's (the fengshuimaster) relative. Although Frank cared a lot about this Youtube channel, he had no choice but to switch to another channel. In his blog, he even hinted that this channel may have something to do with his divorce. In the end, a divorce, because of the nature of the cyber world today, actually affected the lives (viewing habits) of thousands of people around the world.

Although I don't know who Frank is, I wish him well in his new life as a single person and that his father recovers soon from his illness. Thank you, Frank!

我最愛看的電視節目是台灣的新聞挖挖哇。自從美國東森在一年前取消了新聞挖挖哇的播出,我都是上 Youtube 看 fengshuimaster0 版主 Frank 所上傳的台灣節目,包括新聞挖挖哇。每天晚上我都很期待小孩子睡覺後,可以輕鬆的觀看 Frank 所上傳(好看又即時)的新聞挖挖哇。久而久之,習慣就成自然了。直到兩天前,Frank 告知大家:

“各位同學們, 昨夜家父急病住院, 可能要待一到兩周, 小弟只能盡量先錄好節目存檔, 等我回來再上! 事發突然, 特此向大家致歉.“

頓時覺得生活少了個什麼,不過我相信版主有空一定會在上傳新的節目,所以準備耐心的等待。 可是一天前,在大家的祝福聲中,突然又出現 Frank 的一個留言:

"★ 本頻道版主將轉址(不再以林正義老師專欄服務大家，會再上傳更多不同類型節目)！若想要知道新網址請來信!或是搜尋以下信箱！ＭＡＩＬ：frank.yow@gmail.com 此頻道將不會再上傳節目！感謝大家多年來的支持！"

天啊!發生了什麼事?!大家頓時錯愕! 不確定以後是否還能看到自己喜歡的節目。好在六小時之後,Frank 再留了一段話:

"大家好, 我是Frank. 在此先向大家報告新頻道username為TalwanTalks. http://www.youtube.com/TaiwanTalks 請先加入訂閱, 好友, 並請密切期待新片上映! p.s. 謝謝大家的祝福, 家父復原狀況良好, 預計一周內應可出院, 再次謝謝大家, 想念各位! "

我趕快跳到 TaiwanTalks 去看看。雖然還沒有上傳任何節目,但是至少還有希望看到 Frank 上傳的節目,也就於心不少。 今天在上 TaiwanTalks 的時候,竟然看到 Frank 所寫的自我介紹:

" 版主Frank原建置林正義老師youtube頻道, 因為該頻道的帳號信箱屬於前妻所有, 在前妻的堅持下, 版主只好另闢此一新youtube頻道 TaiwanTalks, 相信在不久的未來, 即將與舊雨新知重新見面!

版主的第一篇網誌文章已經發表, 僅獻給所有關心與支持我的朋友!
Name: Frank
Country: Taiwan
Website: http://franktheyoutuber.blogspot.com/ "

原來這一切的變化都是因為 Frank 離婚的關係,也因為 Frank 的前妻是林正義大師的親戚,她不希望 Frank 繼續使用“fengshuimaster0”這帳號。 最近,台灣的新聞是充滿了很多名人的負面離婚消息,苦主爭的不都是為了錢或小孩的監護權。再看看大家的朋友 Frank。他因離婚而必需離開他所經營已久的 Youtube 頻道,另闢新的頻道,從新開始,讓人婉惜。 真沒想到在二十一世紀的網際網路虛擬世界裏,一個台灣男人的離婚,竟然會直接影響到國外數千人(可能更多人)的起居生活。在此,祝福 Frank 的父親早日康復,也希望 Frank 在不久的將來創造出新的人生方向! 感謝他!
