Chen Hsing-yu, daughter of former Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian, and orthopedic surgeon Zhao Jianming have ended their nearly 25-year marriage, sparking ongoing public attention. Chen recently left a 1-star review on the Google page of 'Zhaofu Spine and Orthopedic Clinic,' where Zhao practices, identifying herself as his 'ex-wife.' In the post, she confirmed their divorce and accused Zhao of inappropriate relationships with female staff at the clinic, as well as detailing his strained relationship with their three sons, drawing widespread online attention.

The controversy quickly went viral, prompting a flood of users to flood the clinic’s Google review section with comments and numerous 1-star ratings. A platform originally intended for sharing medical service experiences unexpectedly became a battleground for public discussion about their marital dispute.

However, some users pushed back by leaving 5-star reviews, with one comment reading, 'Dr. Zhao definitely deserves five stars—he’s truly a man of integrity and passion.' Shortly after, a reply appeared under this comment, seemingly from the clinic’s owner.

Zhao Breaks Silence: 'What She Wrote Is Completely Untrue'

In response to Chen’s allegations, Zhao’s side has finally broken its silence. The Google page shows that the 'owner' replied under the 5-star comment: 'What she wrote is completely untrue. Why go this far? Not worth replying.' This has been widely interpreted as a direct rebuttal to Chen’s 1-star review.

However, the response did not specify which parts were inaccurate, nor did it elaborate on the reasons for their divorce, leaving a clear gap between the two parties’ narratives.

The reply, while brief, not only denies Chen’s claims but also redirects focus to Zhao’s medical work: 'I will continue to serve my patients with my skills and dedication.' Though it avoids discussing the marriage details, the fact that it came from the clinic’s 'owner' account has drawn significant attention and is seen as a rare public rebuttal from Zhao since the divorce scandal erupted.

A Nearly 25-Year Marriage Officially Ends—Public Focus on Conflicting Narratives

Chen Hsing-yu and Zhao Jianming married in 2001 and have three sons. Having weathered numerous political and legal storms over the years, their marriage has now officially ended, reigniting public discussion—this time via a Google review.

From Chen identifying herself as the 'ex-wife' in a negative review to Zhao’s alleged response via the owner account stating 'completely untrue,' both sides remain at odds. Chen’s private allegations remain unverified, with Zhao’s side yet to issue a detailed public rebuttal.

Full Text of Chen Hsing-yu’s Google Review:

He was careless and negligent in diagnosing even his ex-wife and biological children. When my second son jumped to smash a shuttlecock during a badminton game, his bone completely broke, but Zhao only told his uncle to administer PRP injections. It never healed until we finally did an MRI, which revealed a fracture. My youngest son has suffered wrist pain for years with no proper diagnosis, and was only advised to take medication, get injections, or apply pain-relief ointment.

My shoulder tendon was torn, but for five years, he only sent hyaluronic acid and steroids to my home, treating it as frozen shoulder without allowing me to get X-rays or MRI scans at a clinic or hospital. I wasn’t allowed to receive PRP injections. Only recently, after giving up, did I go to another orthopedic clinic in the eastern district and receive PRP injections, which improved my condition by over 50%. Previously, I couldn’t dress or undress, couldn’t hold a showerhead or a cup, and would wake up in pain during sleep.

How much medical ethics can someone have who treats his ex-wife and children with such cruelty and indifference? Please judge for yourselves. While he was imprisoned, a woman claiming to be a nurse from his clinic came to my dental clinic and caused a scene—likely due to a romantic dispute. I didn’t even see her before I got angry and left.

Another nurse, Xu Qianqian, told me after my divorce that Dr. Zhao had feelings for her and pursued her, though I knew nothing about it at the time. This woman, Xu Qianqian, still holds a key position at the clinic today. Though she claims to be married, Dr. Zhao remains emotionally entangled with her, despite growing distant from his three sons.

In short, the staff at this clinic aren’t focused on genuinely treating patients’ conditions—they’re more concerned with career advancement and romantic affairs. Based on my personal experience, I urge everyone to choose clinics wisely.
