In August 2001, a heartbreaking drama unfolded in the Taipei court. Qi Qin, a well-known singer in the Chinese music scene, stood in court as a defendant.
The plaintiff was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, his illegitimate son Fang Wei, who was only 13 years old. This sensational lawsuit stemmed from Fang Wei and his mother Fang Meifang asking Qi Qin for NT$15 million in child support.
The atmosphere at the trial was solemn, Fang Wei wore a baseball cap, and he always kept his head down and refused to make any eye contact with his father. Qi Qin's expression was complicated, and his eyes flashed with pain and helplessness.
This lawsuit not only revealed the secret that Qi Qin had hidden for many years, but also pushed the blood-related father-son relationship to a freezing point.
What is the reason that this loved one embarked on the road to court? What is the twists and turns behind this?
In the early 1980s, the Chinese music scene ushered in a dazzling new star. Qi Qin, who was only 21 years old, quickly became a leader in Taiwan's song scene with a song "See Her Again".
His unique voice and outstanding creative talent have made him unique in the Chinese music industry. Classic songs such as "About Winter" have established his place in music history.
However, just as his career was booming, Qi Qin chose an unusual path. He responded to the call of the country and resolutely joined the army and became a soldier in the Taipei Navy.
Although military life was strict, it did not wipe out Qi Qin's enthusiasm for life. Whenever he had free time, he would go to the Huaguo Hotel in Taipei, which was all the rage at the time.
It was here that fate arranged an unexpected encounter for Qi Qin. He met the beautiful and moving Fang Meifang. The two fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love.
After retiring, Qi Qin and Fang Meifang began to live together. During that time, Fang Meifang was not only Qi Qin's lover, but also became an important supporter of his life and career.
However, with the advent of Qi Qin's first solo album "Wolf", the relationship between the two began to crack. Fang Meifang gradually felt that the gap between herself and Qi Qin, who was becoming more and more successful, was getting bigger and bigger.
Her emotions became capricious, often throwing tantrums at Qi Qin, and even breaking into the studio to make a fuss while he was recording.
After each argument, Fang Meifang would accuse Qi Qin of being "ungrateful" and throw his belongings in the hallway. This kind of dramatic scene made Qi Qin feel tired.
In the end, he couldn't bear this life anymore and reluctantly proposed to break up.
However, fate played a joke on the two again. In October 1987, Fang Meifang gave birth to Qi Qin's son Fang Wei. This unexpected life not only brought an end to the relationship, but also planted the seeds of future strife.
Faced with this sudden child, Qi Qin's heart was full of complex emotions. On the one hand, he knew that this child, as an illegitimate child, would face a more difficult life than other children; On the other hand, he can't completely break up this blood relationship.
In order to make up for this ill-fated child, Qi Qin decided to give more financial support. He often finds time outside of work to visit his son and buy all kinds of quality items for him.
However, this kind of intermittent care and material compensation cannot make up for the psychological trauma caused by the lack of fatherly love to Fang Wei.
This secret relationship and the unexpectedly born child have become an indelible stroke in Qi Qin's life. It not only affected his personal life, but also laid hidden dangers for his future career and public image.
From the moment he fell to the ground, Fang Wei was burdened with the heavy label of "illegitimate child". His childhood life was full of doubts and uneasiness. Whenever he saw that his classmates had a complete family, Fang Wei couldn't help but ask his mother: "Mom, why doesn't Dad live with us?" When will he come home? Faced with her son's naïve inquiry, Fang Meifang could only hold back her tears and prevaricate with a pale reason like "Dad is very busy with work".
After entering primary school, Fang Wei's life became more difficult. Classmates began to mock him with the word "bastard". Although the young Fang Wei did not fully understand the meaning of the word, he could clearly feel the malice in it.
This kind of discrimination from peers cast a shadow on Fang Wei's heart.
Once Qi Qin came to the school to visit Fang Wei. The moment he saw his father, the little boy couldn't control his emotions anymore, and threw himself into his father's arms and cried loudly: "Dad, why did you come to see me for so long? They always call me bastard, what does bastard mean exactly? Faced with his son's questioning, Qi Qin's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't give a satisfactory explanation.
He could only take his son to buy some snacks and leave in a hurry.
After returning home, Fang Wei asked his mother the truth. When Fang Meifang told the truth with tears, Fang Wei's whole world seemed to collapse. Since then, he has become extremely inferior and timid, and his face is always covered with a lingering haze.
As he grew older, Fang Wei began to confide his heart to his father in letters. When he was 12 years old, he wrote: "Dear Dad, I miss you so much that every night I can't sleep because of my thoughts.
Sometimes the wind blows and the door makes a noise, and I always think it's you.
These words, full of grievances and accusations, were like sharp blades, deeply cutting Qi Qin's heart. However, due to various reasons, he has never been able to give his son enough company, and can only make up for this debt through financial support.
When he was 13 years old, Fang Wei learned from the TV news that his father was about to hold a concert in Taipei. With the longing and longing for his father, he set out on the road to find his father alone without telling his mother.
Unable to afford tickets, he had to wait outside the concert venue. When Qi Qin walked out of the venue after the performance, he saw the son who had been thinking about it day and night.
Over the next seven days, father and son had a rare happy time. Every night, Fang Wei slept in the same bed with his father and talked about life. However, this brief reunion did not completely heal the rift between father and son.
On the eve of separation, Fang Wei plucked up the courage to ask, "Dad, why did you abandon us?" Can you get back together with your mom? I want a complete home.
Faced with his son's sincere request, Qi Qin could only helplessly explain that the relationship between him and Fang Meifang was irretrievable. Even if he reluctantly got back together, he couldn't give Fang Wei true happiness.
This reply plunged Fang Wei into a deeper sense of loss and despair.
Fang Wei's growth process is full of longing for fatherly love and inner struggle. This complex emotion not only affected the formation of his character, but also laid the groundwork for the deterioration of the father-son relationship in the future.
In 2000, a news that shocked the Chinese entertainment industry spread - Qi Qin was about to enter the marriage hall with the popular movie star Wang Zuxian. This news was like a bombshell, which not only triggered a frenzy of the media, but also caused huge waves in Fang Meifang's heart.
For a long time, Fang Meifang has relied on Qi Qin's financial support to raise Fang Wei. However, the news that Qi Qin was about to start a family made her panic. She was worried that once Qi Qin had a family and children of his own, he might gradually forget about Fang Wei and even stop financial assistance.
Driven by this anxiety and uneasiness, Fang Meifang made a crucial decision - to demand a high amount of compensation from Qi Qin as the price of completely severing the relationship.
At this time, Fang Wei was in the rebellious stage of adolescence. Years of resentment towards his father and his desire for a complete family made him accept his mother's proposal without hesitation.
They made a shocking demand to Qi Qin - asking for compensation of up to 15 million Taiwan dollars.
However, for Qi Qin, it is extremely ridiculous to measure family affection with money. Despite the guilt in his heart, he firmly stated that as the father of the child, he would continue to take on his share of responsibility, rather than "buying" the blood relationship with a sum of money.
Qi Qin's refusal completely ignited the anger in the hearts of Fang Meifang and Fang Wei. In August 2001, shortly after Fang Wei's 13th birthday, Fang Meifang sued Qi Qin in court in the name of her son, demanding payment of NT$15 million in child support.
This high-profile trial became the focus of Taiwan media coverage that year. The father and son were seated separately in the courtroom, and the scene was heartbreaking.
Fang Wei wore a baseball cap and kept his head down, unwilling to make any eye contact with his father. Qi Qin, on the other hand, had a complicated expression, his eyes flashing with pain and helplessness.
After a lengthy trial process, the court finally made a judgment: Qi Qin needs to pay NT$5.26 million in child support. Although this figure was far lower than the requirements of Fang Meifang's mother and son, it also made Qi Qin pay a lot of price.
Although Fang Meifang was not satisfied with the verdict, she finally chose to accept it and did not continue to appeal.
Qi Qin paid the money in full through his lawyer. However, money has not been able to bridge the rift between father and son. On the contrary, the lawsuit completely destroyed the last remaining emotional bond between them.
Fang Wei mistakenly believed that this money meant that he could completely draw a line with his father and never owe it again.
This sensational lawsuit not only revealed the secret that "Qi Qin has an illegitimate child", but also brought a huge impact to Qi Qin's personal life. The originally scheduled wedding plan with Wang Zuxian was forced to be canceled.
For three years, from 2001 to 2004, Qi Qin failed to see his son. In the end, Wang Zuxian, whose relationship was seriously affected, also chose to break up with Qi Qin.
Qi Qin, who had lost his love and affection, fell into unprecedented pain. He chose to devote himself fully to his work, numbing himself with his busy performance schedule, and not daring to stop for a moment.
However, this overdrawn way of working eventually led to a physical and mental breakdown.
This lawsuit not only completely changed the trajectory of Qi Qin's life, but also cast an intractable shadow on the father-son relationship between him and Fang Wei.
After the lawsuit, Qi Qin's life changed dramatically. Having lost his love and affection, he chose to devote all his energy to his work, as if only on the stage could he temporarily escape the pain in his heart.
This once glamorous Chinese music superstar began a crazy touring career. He frequently holds concerts in various places and participates in various commercial activities, and his itinerary is tightly scheduled.
From Taipei to Beijing, from Shanghai to Guangzhou, Qi Qin's figure has appeared on almost every big stage.
However, this reckless way of working soon began to take a serious toll on Qi Qin's body. Long stays up late, overloaded performances and traveling have overwhelmed his body.
But Qi Qin didn't seem to feel tired, and still supported himself with amazing willpower, and continued to sweat on the stage.
In 2005, the bad news finally came. After a performance, Qi Qin fainted backstage due to overwork. This news is like a hammer, which not only shocked the entire entertainment industry, but also reached the ears of Fang Wei, who is far away in Taipei.
At this time, Fang Wei was 18 years old and was at an important turning point in his life. The news of his father's illness made him unable to calm down for a long time. As he grew older, he began to re-examine his past and gradually understood his father's situation and difficulties.
Faced with his father's illness, Fang Wei felt complicated emotions in his heart. He begins to reflect on his past paranoia and willfulness, realizing that he may have failed his father's affection.
This accident became an opportunity for the relationship between father and son, and also made Fang Wei determined to repair the relationship with his father.
After learning that his father was hospitalized due to overwork, 18-year-old Fang Wei had mixed emotions in his heart. After much deliberation, he decided to let go of his past and embark on a journey to visit his father.
This decision is not only for the sake of my father, but also for the reconciliation of my own heart.
With apprehension, Fang Wei carefully selected a large bouquet of flowers and came to the hospital. When the door of the ward was pushed open and the father and son looked at each other, time seemed to stand still.
Fang Wei called softly: "Dad", these two simple words instantly opened the emotional floodgates that had been sealed in Qi Qin's heart for a long time.
Father and son hugged each other tightly, tears streaming uncontrollably. Years of estrangement dissipated at this moment. They sat down in their hospital beds and began a deep and sincere conversation.
Fang Wei confessed to his father about his past paranoia and willfulness, and felt guilty for the harm he had caused. He begs his father's forgiveness and hopes to start over.
Qi Qin also opened his heart and admitted his dereliction of duty as a father. He admitted that because of his career and other factors, he failed to give Fang Wei the care he deserved, and he was deeply sorry for this.
In mutual understanding and forgiveness, the father and son rebuilt the bridge of family affection.
Since then, their relationship has grown closer. Fang Wei is always concerned about his father's health and reminds him to pay attention to his work and rest and be careful with his diet. And Qi Qin no longer avoided the topic of "illegitimate children", and began to proudly introduce his son Fang Wei to the world.
This once heartbreaking father-son relationship has finally ushered in a new life after all kinds of twists and turns. Their stories show us that true family affection can eventually transcend the chasm of time and misunderstanding, and be rebuilt in understanding and forgiveness.
This is not only a personal reconciliation, but also a precious interpretation of love and tolerance in life.
