From 2004 to 2016, the talk show "Kangxi Comes Here" hosted by Kevin Tsai and Hsu Hsi-di (Little S) was once loved by netizens and became their "electronic pickled mustard tuber". Little S's funny expressions in the show were also made into emoticons by netizens and are still used today.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the show, and many netizens hope that the show will return to see Kevin Tsai and Xiao S reunite and conduct spicy interviews with the guests. However, according to reports,Kevin Tsai responded by saying, “I’m retired.”

Kevin Tsai gave two reasons why Kangxi Lai Le could not return. First, he said, "Many netizens reminded me of this matter. As the hosts of this program, Xidi and I would be embarrassed if we did not express our opinions." Later, the two planned to make a three-episode special edition of Kangxi Lai Le, "but the producer, Jen-Hsiung Chan, was too excited and talked to the TV station about making a one-season show. This length exceeded Xidi and I's expectations, so the whole thing had to be abandoned."

Secondly, Kevin Tsai said that when he rewatched the previous episodes of Kangxi Comes Here, he felt that he was no longer able to host such a program. "Back then, Xidi, the guests and I had a lot of fun on the show.But now a show that makes jokes about things like that can't survive, and maintaining that balance is too exhausting for both of us.。”

Cai Kangyong also believes thatMany of the popular people nowadays are internet celebrities, lack of new stars, and as a program host, he believes: "The difference between stars and internet celebrities is that stars rely on their talents to appear on the show, and their lives are mysterious, so appearing on the show will be interesting in comparison. Internet celebrities show their lives, and the closer they are to everyone, the more intimate they are. If you invite internet celebrities to appear on the show and repeat parts of their lives, it will not be fresh for the audience."

Kevin Tsai revealed that he is currently focusing on writing books, and frankly said: "I'm retired and hiding because there is nothing for me to do." Regarding netizens' expectations that he can return to the hosting industry,He also said: "I don't want to do anything. I've done enough."
