Tam Yi-hsin, the wife of Formosa Plastics Group president Lin Po-shih and founder of Xuexue Institute of Creativity, is navigating profound grief following the death of her eldest son, Hsu Tzu-hsiang, from a previous marriage. Hsu Tzu-hsiang, who was married to Tam Yi-hsin for two years, passed away during the Lunar New Year period.
Tam Yi-hsin, known as the "most beautiful boss," shared a touching photo of herself with Hsu Tzu-hsiang, stating she was fulfilling his final wishes. She attributed her ability to cope to her faith, finding peace and strength in church. However, she also revealed that seeing Taiwanese news reports about the situation reopened her wounds, describing the experience as "secondary harm" due to inaccurate content.
This trip, I can finally fulfill your last wish for you. Without God during this time, I really couldn't have made it to today. Every time I walk into church, I feel a sense of peace and strength.
Renowned film director Chiu Li-kwan, referred to as "Kuan Jie," has publicly offered her support to Tam Yi-hsin. Chiu Li-kwan commented on Tam Yi-hsin's social media post with three prayer emojis, conveying solidarity without words. This gesture comes after a previous public dispute where Chiu Li-kwan defended Faye Wong against accusations made by Hsu's mother, Hsu Li-ling, regarding alleged harm involving black magic.
When I saw the news from Taiwan last night, the grief in my heart was stirred up again. In the past, we faced all kinds of grievances and injustices together, and in the end, you chose to leave first. I could only choose to remain silent. Seeing untrue content again now feels like secondary harm.
