[Reporter Li Shaoling/Reporting from Taipei] The "Shamei Art Festival" launched by the public in support of Chen Xingyu came to an end recently, but outside the theater there was a shocking storm between Minghuayuan, the overlord of the Gezaixi opera, and the financial backers behind the scenes. A few days ago, the CEO of Ming Hua Garden Group, Chen Zhaoxian, reiterated his stance of refusing to perform at a press conference, saying, "What would Chen Shimei's children think if they were here?" He declined to put household chores on the stage of the arts festival, which unexpectedly aroused the anger of netizens. They were ridiculed, saying "Don't think you are very noble," and were even accused of revealing the dark history of family members.

Some netizens angrily attacked Chen Jiahong, the former eldest son of the Minghua Yuan Second Group on Threads, criticizing the other party for defrauding his cousin of his inheritance while his relative was terminally ill with cancer, and even kicked him to death without paying compensation. He was furious and said, "I have all the cashier's checks and medical examination papers." , the court executes the order", and even directly issued a war message, asking the group, which receives nearly 20 million in government subsidies every year, to stay out of the matter: "If you handle it rashly, be prepared to face my legal team. Don't sue my cousin, sue me, I'm waiting for you!"

Faced with the revelations and accusations, Sun Cuifeng, the mainstay of the drama, no longer remained silent today (26th), and directly posted a "Joint Statement between Minghuayuan Drama Troupe and its sub-troupes" on Facebook, making a big move and confronting the drama head-on. In the statement, Chen Shengfu, the leader of the general group, and the eight sub-groups and branches of Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, Huang, Sun, Moon, Xing and Chen were rarely gathered together to make a big move to draw a clear line. The statement pointed out at the beginning that the theater company has recently received reports from the public claiming that Mr. Chen Jiahong was suspected of using the names of "Ming Huayuan Theater Company", teacher Sun Cuifeng and various sub-troupes to commit huge frauds, causing victims to suffer financial and mental losses.

The troupe solemnly clarified that as early as 1986, the main troupe had been operating independently and financially separate from the eight major sub-troupes. Chen Jiahong, who was accused, had "completely withdrawn from all family groups" as early as 109 years of the Republic of China, and had no private contact with the family.

The statement denounced that Chen Jiahong used the name of Minghuayuan and Sun Cuifeng to defraud others without authorization, which was purely a personal act. "None of it represents the position of Minghuayuan Drama Troupe, its sub-troupes and teacher Sun Cuifeng. The relevant financial transactions have nothing to do with Minghuayuan Drama Troupe, each sub-troupe and teacher Sun Cuifeng." The troupe also emphasized that it has officially appointed lawyers Li Yongran and Chen Yihong of Yongran United Law Firm to pursue the case to the end in accordance with the law. At the same time, it warned the outside world not to spread remarks that damage reputation, otherwise they will be prosecuted. It also reminded the public that if they encounter someone asking for money under their name, they must follow the official verification or call the police.
