No Looking Back, Each to Their Own Peace: Anchor Cheng Kai-yun Says Chen Hsing-ju Has Become More Beautiful

The ongoing divorce of Chen Hsing-ju, daughter of former Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian, has sparked public discussion, with some locals even planning a satirical "Abolish Mei Art Festival" to highlight her plight.

Perhaps her legal divorce is complete, but her emotional divorce is not yet.

TV anchor Cheng Kai-yun, who has experienced divorce herself, offered a poignant perspective on Chen's situation. "Perhaps her legal divorce is complete, but her emotional divorce is not yet," Cheng observed, relating to the pain of re-examining a past marriage. She described the deep hurt of betrayal and the feeling of being undervalued after years of commitment.

Cheng emphasized that lingering anger or the need for external validation keeps one tethered to the past. True healing, she suggested, comes from reaching a point of emotional detachment where the former partner no longer holds any sway. "No looking back, each to their own peace, is the best way to account for the years," Cheng advised Chen.

Cheng encouraged Chen to shift her focus from her ex-husband to her three children and her own well-being. "Look at your three children, look at yourself, do the things you truly want to do; travel, exercise, laugh, love yourself," she urged. Cheng expressed hope that Chen, who has recently shown signs of smiling and relaxing, is becoming more beautiful as she embraces her freedom and prepares for the next chapter of her life.
