The divorce proceedings between former President Chen Shui-bian's daughter, Chen Hsing-yu, and her ex-husband Chao Chien-ming have taken a dramatic turn, with Chen Hsing-yu reportedly unleashing profanity when confronted with Chao's recent statements.
Chao Chien-ming admitted in a recent interview that he had developed feelings for a nurse at his clinic but denied actively pursuing her. When Chen Hsing-yu was questioned by the media about Chao's alleged "pursuit" of the nurse, she became visibly angered, exclaiming, "Damn it! Who forced whom to divorce?" She also stated her desire to sue the nurse, acknowledging that even a financial penalty would be insignificant, as "original wives are not worth three cents" nowadays.
Damn it! Who forced whom to divorce?
Former President Chen Shui-bian publicly backed his daughter, posting on social media platform Threads. He wrote, "'A thousand (Qian) mistakes, ten thousand mistakes, all are the wife's (Hsing-yu's) fault.'" This statement cleverly incorporated the nurse's name, "Qian," and a classic saying to express his strong dissatisfaction with his former son-in-law blaming Chen Hsing-yu for the marital breakdown. The post quickly garnered significant attention and shares, with many netizens expressing support for Chen Shui-bian and criticizing Chao's actions.
Netizens flooded the comments section with messages of support, including "Support Ah-Bian for suing his daughter!" and "The president doesn't blame his wife, but your son-in-law is not like that, alas." Others called Chao a "scum" and expressed disbelief that he would blame Chen Hsing-yu for the divorce.
'A thousand (Qian) mistakes, ten thousand mistakes, all are the wife's (Hsing-yu's) fault.'
