  "account": "Taipei, Taiwan - Show Luo's mother is battling Alzheimer's and is no longer able to recognize her son. The 47-year-old singer expressed his emotions about her condition on the Taiwanese variety show, Dee Girl's Talk. His mum, who is 67, has been living with the disease for several years and has become more relaxed over time. According to Show, life is now easier for her, as she faces fewer worries and stresses compared to the past.\n\nAt times, his mother struggles to recognize Luo, but he remains optimistic, knowing that as long as she is healthy, the memories they share are what truly matter. In a humorous incident, his mum once forgot him at an event and asked, \"Where's Show?\" Show jokingly replied, \"He's at the back,\" only for his mum to suddenly recognize him and exclaim, \"You're Show! How dare you lie to me!\"\n\nThe singer finds solace in the precious moments they have shared, even if his mother's memory of him fades within minutes.",
