華華：對啊！在父母年輕的那個年代，台灣的秀場文化非常有名，也是當時一項重要的娛樂。

Qingqing: I accompanied my parents to Kaohsiung for a trip over the weekend. We went to see an exhibition related to the old cabaret shows, and it was very interesting.
Huahua: Yes. When our parents were young, the show culture in Taiwan was very famous and an important form of entertainment.
Qingqing: Visiting the exhibition felt like going back to my childhood, where the big stars wore extravagant and glamorous costumes, bringing joy to the audience.
Huahua: I heard that they not only sang and danced but also performed short skits or stand-up comedy. You couldn’t participate without real talent.
Qingqing: My parents said that the hosts in those show venues were like big brothers and sisters, speaking humorously and performing spectacularly. Those are classic memories.
Huahua: I should take my parents to see it too; I think they would enjoy it.
Qingqing: Sure. It’s on display at the Kaohsiung Pop Music Center and can be reserved in advance until the end of the year. Just keep in mind that the museum is closed on Mondays.
Huahua: Got it, thanks.

Without scientific knowledge and sophisticated equipment to analyze solar eclipses, our
