| Dee Hsu Returns to the Stage, Honours Late Sister Barbie Hsu with Emotional Performance at the 2025 Golden Bell Awards |
💬 The Heartfelt Interview That Touched Everyone
Joined on stage by her long-time partner-in-banter Kevin Tsai, Dee opened up in a quiet moment that cut straight through the glamour of the night.
When asked who she would call when life feels too heavy to handle, Dee paused, smiled faintly, and said,
“I still want to call my sister.”
Her voice shook slightly as she added,
“I want my mum to know — even though my sister isn’t here anymore, she still has me.”
The words hung in the air for a moment before the audience broke into applause — not for showmanship, but for the sheer sincerity of it.
🎤 A Song for Her Sister
Then came a moment that will probably be remembered for years — Dee Hsu softly sang “Sisterhood”, a song written by Barbie herself.
The lyrics spoke of love, strength, and never looking back, echoing their bond as sisters and partners through fame and hardship.
When she reached the line “Barbie Hsu, Dee Hsu, dearest sisters”, her voice trembled but never faltered. You could feel both grief and love laced through every note.
🏆 A Bittersweet Win
It wasn’t just a comeback — it was also a victory.
Dee Hsu took home the Best Variety Show Host Award, marking her long-awaited win after missing out last year.
When asked why she chose to attend the ceremony this year despite her loss, Dee answered,
“Because my sister and I always understood each other. I know she’d want me to be here today. I want my mum to remember — I’m still here.”
Her long-time friend Kevin Tsai added that he couldn’t imagine how painful it must have been for her to go through the past few months, but said he hoped everyone could give her some strength that night.
💐 Strength in Vulnerability
In her acceptance speech, Dee Hsu didn’t hide behind jokes or perfection.
She admitted honestly,
“My heart still feels empty. Sometimes, when I feel lost, I still want to call Big S. But because of my family and friends, I found the courage to stand here today.”
Those words hit hard — because they came from someone known for always making people laugh.
And that night, she reminded everyone that even comedians need space to cry too.
💖 A Silent Goodbye, A Gentle Rebirth
As the music faded and the lights dimmed, Dee bowed her head and whispered,
“Life without you is really tough, but I’ll keep moving forward. I love you.”
It wasn’t just a stage moment — it felt like a conversation between two sisters, one seen and one unseen.
And maybe that’s what made it so powerful: a goodbye that turned into a promise to keep living.
Dee Hsu’s 2025 Golden Bell Awards night wasn’t about the trophy — it was about healing, family, and the quiet courage to shine through heartbreak. She didn’t just win an award; she reminded everyone why we loved her in the first place.
