Wu Chun went back to Jin Men, his ancestors' hometown. His grandfather, Wu Fu Ji, donated around NT30,000 to rebuild the Wu family temple.

Someone pointed out that the Wu family is very particular about their names. Wu Chun’s dad is Wu Jing Tian, Wu Chun’s real name is Wu Ji Zun & Wu Chun’s brother is Wu Ji Wang; all of which are related to prosperity, wealth & happiness.

Ignoring belief in taboos, Wu Chun joked that if his brother is to become a celebrity & with reference to his pseudonym – Wu Chun (dropping the word “Ji”), his brother should be named “Wu Wang” (literally translated as “No Hope”).

With this name, guess he (Wu Chun’s brother) can only be a comedian.
