  • Taiwanese billionaire Terry Gou is reportedly meeting frequently with a female golf friend.
  • Lawyer Lin Chih-chiang pointed out a "commonality" between Gou and a high school student, describing love as "simple and unpretentious."

Taiwanese business magnate Terry Gou, 75, is reportedly facing scrutiny over frequent meetings with a female golf acquaintance. Reports suggest Gou has met with the woman, identified as Ms. Hsieh, at least 14 times over the past year, including instances of being driven by her. These reports have reignited public interest in his marriage to Delia Tseng.

Adding to the discussion, lawyer Lin Chih-chiang recently commented on the situation. He noted a shared characteristic between Gou and a high school student, suggesting that "a man in love is just that simple and unpretentious." Lin's remarks have sparked further conversation about the nature of relationships and affection, regardless of age or status.

Previously, Lin had addressed netizens' curiosity about Gou's interactions with Ms. Hsieh, who is reportedly in her 50s, rather than younger women. Lin defended such relationships, stating, "As long as they are happy, it's fine." He used the analogy of preferring simple food after a rich meal, implying that emotional connections have no fixed standards and can be unconventional.

Despite the ongoing reports and commentary, neither Terry Gou, his wife Delia Tseng, nor Ms. Hsieh have issued official statements regarding the matter. Gou was recently photographed appearing to speak on the phone with Ms. Hsieh from a distance, though she reportedly left when she noticed media presence.

As long as they are happy, it's fine.
