In a 2026 New Taipei court hearing, actor Hsiu Chieh-k'ai pleaded guilty, exposing a major Taiwan draft-dodging scandal involving 12 celebrities and 150,000 TWD.
On July 29, 2026, during a court hearing at the New Taipei City Court, entertainer Hsiu Chieh-kai pleaded guilty, bringing to light a major military draft evasion case in Taiwan that has spanned nearly a decade, involving a total of 150,000 New Taiwan dollars and 12 entertainers, including Chen Po-lin.
Xiu Jiekai, who had
previously been widely praised by the public for his image as a considerate, family-oriented husband and father,has seen his carefully cultivated public image completely collapse as a result of this incident. Several brands he had partnered with immediately issued statements terminating their contracts with him, and the resulting financial burden—including legal fees and household expenses—has fallen entirely on his wife, Jia Jingwen. To make ends meet, Jia Jingwen has recently been forced to participate in a密集 schedule of variety show recordings.
In her early career,
Jia Jingwen rose to fame across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong for her role as Zhao Min in *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*. Just as her career was on the rise, she drew widespread public attention due to her divorce proceedings with her ex-husband Sun Zhihao, which dealt a severe blow to her career and sent it into a slump.Later, when she started a family with Xiu Jiekai, the public widely believed she had finally found a steady and reliable partner, and their life together had settled into a stable routine—making the sudden nature of this incident all the more poignant.
Many members of the public following this news can’t help but wonder: What has become of Sun Zhihao—the man who once went head-to-head with Jia Jingwen in court and plunged her into a personal crisis—and how is he faring today?
Life is naturally full of ups and downs; when facing adversity, only by taking a steady and methodical approach can one find a way forward. The essence of life lies in stability and harmony; there is no need to blindly trust the perfect personas presented by the outside world. Being down-to-earth and reliable is the core principle for interacting with others and navigating life.In marriage, there’s no need to force a so-called “match made in heaven”; simply being able to support one another and walk side by side is already a rare blessing.In dealing with others, it is even more important to uphold your principles and follow the rules. Cutting corners or making missteps will eventually lead to consequences. As long as you have the courage to get back up after falling, every experience has its meaning.
