It not only became the final chapter of Marvel's "Infinity Saga", but also culminated the 11-year-long first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The characters and foreshadowing that have been accumulated since "Iron Man" come to a critical conclusion in this film. Dozens of heroes gather together and complete the staged farewell with a final battle of unprecedented scale. In addition to the action scenes and visual special effects that have attracted attention in the movie, the fate of characters such as Iron Man and Black Widow, as well as the emotional lines of heroes such as Captain America and Thor facing life choices, have also become classic scenes that movie fans have continued to discuss for many years.

FTV's "Variety Show New Era" host team was on location in Hsinchu. Li Yaying missed throwing rice noodles and caused laughter.

FTV's "New Era of Variety" hosts A Xiang, Yang Xiuhui, Li Yaying and guest Zhang Wenqi went to Hsinchu City to ride electric bicycles along the coastline in search of "billions of stars". Although they didn't get their wish, they encountered fiddler crabs. Later, we participated in the Zhongyuan Chenghuang Festival in Zhuqian, experienced the traditional festival, and met the President and Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan. The program involves practicing the traditional method of making sun-dried rice noodles in a rice noodle factory that has been passed down for three generations. Li Yaying accidentally threw the rice noodles off the table while operating, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The group also tasted local delicacies and eventually became Hsinchu tourism promotion ambassadors to share their experience.
