On March 2nd, the news of Xu Ching-hsiang’s death due to a heart attack caused by a cold drew widespread attention. Xu Ching-hsiang was not only a wealthy businessman but also the father-in-law of the celebrity Dee Hsu.
What seemed to be a minor cold led to the sudden tragedy of a heart attack. Xu Ching-hsiang, Dee Hsu’s father-in-law, passed away at the age of 84, leaving his family in deep mourning.
Xu Ching-hsiang was not only Dee Hsu’s father-in-law but also her pillar of support. Her relationship with him transcended the boundaries with her husband, and the love and support from her in-laws were the strongest backing in her life.
Xu Ching-hsiang, a former military man, opened a clinic after his service. Due to his excellent medical skills and kindness, the clinic was very popular, and he later expanded it into a hospital.
Following that, Xu Ching-hsiang ventured into the investment industry. He had a unique investment vision, and the stocks he invested in mostly yielded significant profits. Over decades, he amassed a fortune of billions.
Rumors have it that Dee Hsu could marry Mike Hsu thanks to her exceptional father-in-law. The stability of Dee Hsu and Mike Hsu’s marriage over the years is also attributed to the father-in-law’s silent contributions.
Despite marrying into a wealthy family, Dee Hsu’s husband, Mike Hsu, graduated from a prestigious school. However, Dee Hsu did not lose herself because of marrying into wealth. She knew her worth well and understood how precious the love and support from her in-laws were. Aware of their son’s personality and actions, they appreciated Dee Hsu’s efforts and sacrifices for the family and thus showered her with affection.
Dee Hsu and Mike Hsu got married in 2005, and there have been numerous rumors about marital discord and domestic violence. Dee Hsu’s marriage to Mike Hsu has been a concern for many. According to news reports, Mike Hsu is very troublesome, with news of domestic violence against Dee Hsu and infidelity, including reports of a illegitimate child in Shanghai.
Despite living a relatively stable life under the protection of her in-laws, Dee Hsu’s marital life has been far from satisfactory. Mike Hsu’s infidelity and domestic violence have caused her much pain and helplessness.
Although there were rumors of Mike Hsu having an illegitimate child, Dee Hsu chose to turn a blind eye, preferring to believe it was just a rumor rather than facing the harsh reality.
For any other woman, the marriage might have already ended. Rumors suggest that this seemingly precarious marriage has continued, all thanks to the father-in-law Xu Ching-hsiang’s skillful mediation and reconciliation.
Although it’s just a rumor, from some life snippets shared by Dee Hsu herself, it’s not hard to see her special relationship with her father-in-law. When facing difficulties, Dee Hsu would first think of her father-in-law, not her husband Mike Hsu.
Once, her child, Xu Laosan, had a persistent high fever reaching 41.5 degrees Celsius, which was extremely critical. In her panic, Dee Hsu called her father-in-law first. Following his remote guidance, she found fever-reducing medicine at home and administered it to the child according to his instructions. Eventually, Xu Laosan’s temperature was effectively controlled, and he was out of danger.
Xu Ching-hsiang praised his daughter-in-law highly, showing great respect, broad-mindedness, and tolerance. Last year, Dee Hsu had a bold and passionate bed scene with a male actor in the popular TV series “At This Moment.” Many netizens commented that as a mother, it seemed inappropriate for Dee Hsu to act in such scenes.
However, her father-in-law Xu Ching-hsiang was very generous and full of praise for her acting skills. When Xiao S asked him if he felt embarrassed, Xu Ching-hsiang replied, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? I know it’s fake, so naturally, I’m not embarrassed.”
Dee Hsu’s upbringing was deeply influenced by her original family. As the youngest daughter, she grew up in the shadow of her sister, Da S, lacking parental love and company. She was sensitive and had low self-esteem from a young age, longing for a complete and happy family. To spare her children the pain of a broken home, she endured her husband’s infidelity and domestic violence.
The harsh reality is inescapable. The death of her father-in-law left Dee Hsu without support, and her husband’s betrayal and indifference further chilled her heart. In a recent show, she openly admitted that her efforts failed to attract her husband’s attention. Dee Hsu mentioned an instance when she undressed and asked her partner: “Do you really not love me anymore?” Mike Hsu quickly denied it but didn’t look up at her.
Although life in a wealthy family may seem glamorous, Dee Hsu is filled with helplessness. A lifetime of enduring and sacrificing, happiness and satisfaction are hard to find. Yet, life is full of helplessness and uncertainties, and we can only cherish the present without knowing what the future holds. May heaven be free of pain and suffering, and may Mr. Xu Ching-hsiang rest in peace. It’s hoped that Dee Hsu will face the future with strength and seek true happiness for herself and her children.
