Yeah, some people seem to be hung up on the "villain" thing. Hence my post about clickbait titles. That said, I have no problem with someone taking sides in this based on what is publicly available. And don't get me wrong, may Ai made a mistake in marrying the guy, or even getting married at all. But part of the point of the law is that many people if allowed will try to get their own way without regard for the interests and feelings of others. The law is our best attempt to find balance to those things, even if it isn't always fair. Other than deferring to our ignorance, no one has explained what Chiang actually did that makes him deserving of his wife (who left him after an affair) to prevent him from seeing his son. If it was the other way round, I wonder whether people would be saying that we need to wait for the information. The privacy angle I get, but sometimes, you can't fight people with resources without putting social pressure on them because their resources enable them to get away with stuff that most of us would get arrested for.
I am not close to Chiang, but close enough.
I spoke to Chiang's teammates, Chiang is a very soft guy. (now that doesn't mean he can't be a villain)
Ai's mom seem to like Chiang and continued to stay with him and the kids when Ai was getting attacked left right and centre by her fans amid her love affair being exposed. It wasn't a few days, it was months. (and yes, I know people who visits the Chiang and Ai's mom)
There was allegations made by Ai through her friend (a whole 3rd party media leak story) that Chiang was mentally abusive or something in that regards. Hence Ai was emotional non stable and had to "talk" with her good male friend, and they ended up sleeping in 2 different rooms in hotels and her home and somehow have become husband and wife now. Till this day, according to Ai, she didn't sleep with the guy then.
I know divorce is ugly and people will always find higher courts or different court to start a new fight. It has been going on forever - especially if you have the cash.
I have never talked so much about Chiang's challenges over the past 2.5 years (until you dragged me into it lol)
But my issue is and what disguise me is "not seeing his son", not even through a video call.
If Chiang is a villain, court didn't' deny Chiang rights to a video call.
This to me is tough to understand and even if a spouse ends up in jail, do you as the other parent, say, you don't have a dad? or don't visit your dad? or what ever logic some could have.... that is beyond me.
Chiang has not been accused or proven a villain inside the past 2.5 years.
The kid cannot have a phone for ever? He will never find out from his school peers on - hey your dad is looking for you? or your dad is a villain? Some things are just beyond the human values I have been bought up with.
I just hope Chiang don't need to wait weeks or months for the Japanese court to execute the forcing of the court order dated 20 July 2023. It's already 2 weeks now...
Ai's team can say, they do not agree to the court order and want to fight it in a higher court and would not respond, or something like that... but 2 weeks now, they haven't said anything, but to say, Chiang shouldn't have a press conference as Mar 2023 judge in Taiwan said so.. lawyer like response.
Chiang's team has admitted this is a tough battle for Chiang to win (especially Ai has the resources to move the son to different countries), and Chiang has already accepted there is a huge chance he will never see his son again, but wants to continue trying.
I am grateful, I am not in such challenges and I can see my kids every day
