Former anchor Shen Chunhua pointed out on Facebook that the marriage of 102-year-old Wang Renrui and a 68-year-old caregiver caused controversy.

[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] In February this year, a 102-year-old Wang Renrui, who has a net worth of 800 million, suddenly registered for marriage with his 68-year-old caregiver surnamed Lai, who had been taking care of him for 27 years, causing dissatisfaction and questioning from his children.

At noon today (27th), former anchor Shen Chunhua posted a post on Facebook mentioning the matter. She said that what really deserves everyone's attention in this dramatic social case is not the 800 million yuan, but the series of legal issues behind it.

Shen Chunhua said that Taiwan has entered a super-aged society. As people live longer and longer, in addition to health and care, every family may begin to face another very real problem: "When a person gets older, who has the final say in his or her marriage, property and life? Can he still fall in love and decide to get married at the age of 102?"

Shen Chunhua said that of course one can fall in love and decide whether to get married at the age of 102, but how does the law confirm that this is really his or her own wish? If an elderly elder gives a large amount of property to his late partner, can the children stop it? She said, "These properties should have been inherited by us." Is this "expectation" a "right" legally? If an elder has developed dementia or cognitive decline, are the wills, gifts or sales deeds signed previously still valid? At what point should family members consider a "Declaration of Guardianship" or "Declaration of Assistance"?

Shen Chunhua thinks that these matters cannot be judged with just one sentence: "How could he know what he is doing at such an old age?"

Open Questions

Does 102-year-old Renrui have full capacity for civil conduct?
Is there suspicion of undue influence or fraud on the part of the caregiver?
How applicable is Taiwan’s current guardianship declaration system to such cases?

Writer Lai Hengjia shared on Threads her friendship with Su Qiaohui, the New Taipei mayor candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party. From being a classmate at Peking No. 1 Girls' Middle School to being a classmate at National Taiwan University, and then becoming a spiritual support for each other when they went out into society, Su Qiaohui once wrote a recommendation for his book, participated in sharing sessions and provided support, describing him as "knowing how to do things, doing things right, warm and innovative".
