After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S. H. E.' s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about. The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella.

At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium.
