In early 2010, Hou Peichen announced that she had been engaged to her boyfriend Huang Baijun, who had just known her for more than 4 months, and a year later, the two registered for marriage. On the two days of the wedding, Jay Chou, who was not invited, and his brother Liu Qihong blew a long wind on the roof.
On December 3 last year, Hou Peichen, who was about to celebrate his 43rd birthday, sold the mansion he bought when he was newly married for NT$185 million. A week later, Jay Chou, who had not released a new album for 5 years, appeared at the music ceremony and sang "I Don't Deserve It" again.
No one has ever seen Hou Patzen lose his mind in public. High education, high emotional intelligence, Jay Chou's only admitted girlfriend, "Taiwan's first beautiful female anchor"... She always smiled and bent her eyes, dignified and sweet, proper, decent, and watertight.
Sweet and harmless, Hou Patzen is difficult to be hated.
She was also overly enthusiastic. When he first appeared on the variety show "Xiaoyan Night", the host pretended to be menacing and wanted to ask more questions from his mother, Hou Patzen smiled sweetly and immediately answered, "We both love you so much."
Zhang Xiaoyan, who has won the Taiwan Television Golden Bell Award for variety show host awards six times, was dumbfounded by this sweetheart cannonball, and felt that there were many questions that could not be asked.
This sweetness is not limited to the show. The first time he met Xiao S in private, Hou Patzen exclaimed, "S, you are really good, I really love you", and turned to Xiao S's in-laws and said, "You really married a good daughter-in-law, so lucky."
He will also praise the taste of Little S's husband Mike in an overly sincere tone, "Your home is so beautiful" and "So good, so beautiful", so that when Little S feels that the atmosphere at home is dull, he hopes that Hou Patzen will come as a guest.
"Hou Patzen is the one who makes the people in our family obedient, and the person who can make my in-laws happy is a good person... Passionate enough that it's hard for you not to like her. Little S, who has always had a poisonous tongue, summed it up like this.

In many interviews, Hou Peichen has analyzed his personality, showing that he is actually not as dignified and quiet as he seems, speaking quietly, but a girl with a lot of laughter, rich in emotions, easy to be happy, and unable to hide her mood.
But from her upbringing, she has always smiled and shown herself, and she is not always carefree. It's not always easy to be used to expressing kindness and knowing what to praise just to suit the other person's heart.
Maybe sometimes, as the song goes, Hou Patzen laughs, just to disguise the tears that want to fall.
Hou Patzen is an illegitimate daughter, and her mother Lin Yueyun has never been married in her life, but she has intervened in the marriage of two girlfriends.
Lin Yueyun is a famous Hokkien actor in Taiwan in the last century, with a sweet smile and good popularity, and her friend Guo Chunmei brought Lin Yueyun home to play, but Lin Yueyun and her husband Hou Shihong, a TV producer from the Tainan Wang clan, met and hated late.
Lin Yueyun
Hou Shihong arranged a house for Lin Yueyun and went to look for her from time to time.
In 1977, Lin Yueyun became pregnant with Hou Peichen, afraid that her lover would be bored during pregnancy, Hou Shihong introduced Cai Guizhao, the eldest daughter of the Cai family, to her. After a few laps of mahjong, the night was already late, and Cai Guizhao asked her husband Qiu Jiaxiong to send his new girlfriend Lin Yueyun home.
Lin Yueyun stood up with a big belly and secretly fell in love with Qiu Jiaxiong. She waited for Hou Shihong to divorce on the one hand, and waited for Qiu Jiaxiong to divorce on the other hand.
On December 20, 1978, 28-year-old Lin Yueyun gave birth to an unmarried daughter named Petzen. Patzen grew to be 5 years old, Hou Shihong was not divorced, Lin Yueyun broke up with him, and took her daughter to live with the married Qiu Jiaxiong.
Patten grew older and larger, but never been named her father's surname, after breaking up with Lin Yueyun, Hou Shihong was still worried about this, begging his wife Guo Chunmei to let Patten recognize her ancestors and return to the ancestors, she had a surname, full name Hou Peichen.
Hou Patzen called Qiu Jiaxiong "papa", called Hou Shihong's father, all the way to study in famous schools, drive famous cars, study abroad, never worked, in his 20s he carried a number of Hermès bags. These fees are paid by Qiu Jiaxiong.
Perhaps because of the complicated growth environment, Hou Peichen has developed a personality that hopes that everyone around him can be happy, and he is very concerned about what others think of him, and even often tense, panicked, and sometimes like a frightened bird, feeling afraid for no reason.
She used to use the "fake smile mask" to defend herself against all the problems she might encounter.
After studying at the University of Southern California, in a psychology class, the professor left Hou Patzen, who had just finished her report, on the podium and asked her why she was laughing? Is it out of fun, or is it satisfying with the report? She replied truthfully that she was actually very nervous at the moment.
The professor then analyzed that laughter may be a defensive mechanism for Hou Patzen. From then on, Hou Peichen realized that no matter how happy, nervous, uneasy, painful, etc., he would subconsciously face it with a smile. "This 'fake' is the most real reaction and cannot be controlled."
Friend Ah Ken added in the episode of Hou Patzen's guest "Kangxi Lai" that she is not a two-faced person, but only the "fake" side, and her "fake" has eaten the real all. The problems of the previous generation are passed on to the next generation. Hou Patzen has long since lost the freedom to be willful.
In 2004, Hou Peichen became famous for his anchor "Times News", and then hosted the program "Entertainment Asia", and became the champion of the "50 Most Watched Perfect Women in Taiwan" voting campaign that year.
In August, Jay Chou entered the promotion period of the new album "Qilixiang", and he did not like to be interviewed, and he appeared on Hou Patzen's program 4 times in a month for the first time in a month, taking the initiative to clarify his scandal with Jolin Tsai to her.
It was also in 2004 that Hou Patzen's mother, Lin Yueyun, publicly admitted that after Hou Shihong, she had maintained an underground affair with another husband, Qiu Jiaxiong, who had a wife, for 22 years.
The spectators were in an uproar, and the original was angry. Hou Shihong's wife, Guo Chunmei, immediately wrote a handwritten breaking news letter, which was published in the media, scolding Jingjing Lin Yueyun for twice intervening in the marriage of his girlfriend:
"Everything you have today contains the tears of many people, please do not hesitate to count... Patrick Hou is a good girl, and hopefully her DNA inherits your intelligence, not anything else. ”
Under the pressure of public opinion, Lin Yueyun apologized to Cai Guizhao, "Everything is fate, half a point is not by people"
Like Guo Chunmei's evaluation of Hou Patzen, at that time, Hou Patzen won the recognition of the audience by her own efforts, and most people had already separated the girl from her mother's behavior. But inevitably, Hou Peichen's love life was greatly affected by his mother.
From childhood to adulthood, Hou Peichen has been living with Lin Yueyun. In an interview, she revealed that mother and daughter not only look the same, like, behave, etc., makeup habits, swim and wipe the direction of the body, even skin care products and masks, the same brand.
Lin Yueyun's discipline of Hou Peichen went deep into the bone marrow. Hou Patzen was taught from an early age to be polite and patient, and when answering the phone, he must first say hello and report his name, and even when he encounters an apartment security guard, he must also call his uncle and let the other party hear.
When she was a child, Hou Patzen had a verbal altercation with a girl who came to play at home, and after Lin Yueyun knew, she let Hou Patzen stand for nearly half an hour and told her that others can have emotions and she must be polite.
Hou's mother Lin Yueyun and Hou Peichen
Another thing that is often mentioned is that when Hou Peichen was young, her mother asked her why she did not sleep with milk, and she asked "Are you still not sleeping?" Lin Yueyun spilled the milk on Hou Peichen's face and said, "Go wash it."
After Hou Patzen became the anchor, the mother recorded her daughter's words and deeds one by one, and then reminded her daughter of the combination of pronunciation, intonation, voice expression and other issues one by one after work, and the etiquette of treating people in the world was also told over and over again.
This strict requirement of politeness is almost smoothing out the control of a person's original personality, showing a deformed relationship of mother-daughter symbiosis.
Hou Peichen always had a guilty heart, and felt sorry for her mother, thinking that her mother was not easy. "Everything I have now is inseparable from my mother." She said.
It took more than 20 years for Lin Yueyun to carve Hou Patzen into the appearance of a perfect girlfriend, but at the end of 2004, on the way to becoming a celebrity, he killed Jay Chou halfway.
Zhou Hou fell in love at first sight in the program, was photographed when traveling to The Mountain, the reporter would openly have a relationship, and under the tracking reports of the media and paparazzi, the two felt pressure and admitted to breaking up more than a year later.

The romantic beginning of the idol drama and the end of the realistic movie.
Hou Patzen later recalled that Zhou Houlian was her only rebellion. After the relationship was exposed, the pressure of public opinion became greater, and both people began to think a lot. She felt very insecure for a while and was scared of everything.
"Originally, I had been walking safely according to the blueprint, and one day, I was finally willing to go out, but later, I felt as if I was not so safe... Most importantly, because I hid from the camera, I became a little hidden, unlike my original self. ”
Living under the criticism of childhood, Hou Peichen has always longed for an ordinary life, "no need for fireworks, romantic rituals." I am a very fortunate housewife who cherishes the small things in my life, and if you can let me cook a bowl of instant noodles, I will watch my favorite TV, and I will feel very happy. ”
Therefore, Hou Patzen's selection criteria for future husbands are, first, to enjoy the intimacy with his family (especially with his mother Lin Yueyun) like himself, and second, the other party wants to be sunny and always smile.
Girlfriend Xiao S said lin Yueyun's rules for choosing a son-in-law, "Your mother cares a lot about whether that person is good to herself."
In front of the mother-in-law, he bowed down, and even held Lin Yueyun's hand during the honeymoon, even Shengwen and Jay Chou may not be able to do it.
Huang Baijun and Lin Yueyun held hands
On Christmas Day 2009, Huang Baijun, who had only known Hou Peichen for less than four months, was able to propose to Hou Peichen after seeking Lin Yueyun's consent. More than a year later, the two flashed marriages in Bali. Hou Peichen, who longed for stability, finally chose an outsider that his mother liked.
Unexpected, reasonable. Married to Mr. Huang until the 10th year, Hou Patzen, who has always been perfect, has shown flaws in the management of the marriage.
On December 3 last year, Hou Peichen sold the mansion he bought when he was newly married for NT$185 million, and the news quickly caused netizens to discuss. "Leaving?" "Want to make up for your husband's deficit?"
"Jay Chou was unreliable when he was young, and he was reliable when he got married. In contrast, the husband of the anchor looks easy-going on the surface and is actually very turtle hairy, and the encounter in life is really very wonderful. ”
These criticisms are completely derived from the life reality show "Mother-in-law and Mother 2".
In this variety show with her mother and husband, people were surprised to find that Hou Patzen was no longer the sweet sister who smiled and faced no matter what the media asked Jay Chou and Kunling, but was nagging, impatient, and sometimes showing a strong sense of control.
In the morning, her husband Huang Baijun held a meeting on the phone, and Hou Patzen was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, which could have been safe, but she repeatedly shuttled through the room, and carried out several rounds of "life-killing" questioning in turn on the way to her husband's work, and they were all trivial.
"Do you want breakfast?" "Eat toast or eggs?" "Do you want to add honey to the toast?" "Do you want poached eggs or scrambled eggs?" The meeting was forced to get off the line, Huang Baijun was a little blind, but he did not have any temper;
Before dinner, Hou Patzen let her husband, who had never managed the meal, order takeaway according to the taste of the whole family, Huang Baijun ordered several times, either sending the wrong address, or did not order the hot soup that his wife wanted;
Lin Yueyun gave his son-in-law gua sha, Huang Baijun's face was uncomfortable, asked him how he felt, and did not dare to say;
In the end, Huang Baijun ordered a piece of skin egg tofu that his wife loved to eat, and Hou Peichen was very touched, saying that he had been married for 10 years, and her husband had never ordered this dish for her, because he himself did not eat skin eggs.
Marriage is just a chicken feather, and the audience who expects sweet sisters to show high emotional intelligence in any place can't help but be a little disappointed, but Hou Patzen said in a media interview that he is lucky to be able to show "flaws" in life.
"We are in a very comfortable marriage, we can not make any sacrifices to conform to anything, this is where we are very grateful to each other." 」
She explained her "mother" as the host's sense of responsibility for being afraid of the cold, married for 10 years, she and her husband have become accustomed to doing their own things quietly, just for the effect of the show, she will say a lot of words to help her family adapt to the scene.
The warmth and coldness of the marriage are known only to the parties, but some of the changes in Hou Patzen are intuitive.
In the years after breaking up with Jay Chou, some media interviewed Hou Patzen, describing her round eyes blinking at that time, as if to suppress strong emotions, very slowly and cautiously describing her conflict, happy but sad, as if to feel safe, but in fact want danger.
Female celebrities with similar experiences told her that love is not necessarily fierce, and Hou Patzen seemed to understand a sentence, is it possible to have warm love?
In 2009, through the introduction of several friends at the wedding of her sister, Hou Peichen met Huang Baijun, the person she would call "wenwen" in the future. She found that this person's good temper, patience and positive energy made herself less stressed.
Huang Baijun tolerated Hou Peichen's change of dating time because she left work late, and also took the initiative to take care of her grandmother and mother Lin Yueyun.
He knows Hou Peichen and knows that she is easy to be nervous, so he basically did not pressure his wife to change, and in the face of many things that his wife cares about and feels terrible, Huang Baijun will say "it doesn't matter."
Hou Patzen described his marriage as "the rapid wind hit the slow langzhong", which is a loose and tight fit.
More importantly, this marriage also gave her mother Lin Yueyun a great sense of need and security.
Hou Patzen and Huang Baijun's gentle feelings make the relationship between husband and wife not higher than the mother-daughter relationship.
So that the 70-year-old Lin Yueyun can still act as a glue in the relationship between husband and wife, serving as the mother-in-law who leads the son-in-law and encourages Huang Baijun, and the protector and discipliner of her daughter Hou Patzen for more than 40 years.
Hou Peichen also needs his mother Lin Yueyun to be greatly involved in his family life. Just like in 2011, Hou Peichen got married, she was handed to Huang Baijun by Qiu Jiaxiong, and then painfully handed the bouquet to Lin Yueyun, who had never been married in her life.
At this point, what the current husband can give, in exchange for Lian Shengwen and Jay Chou to be a son-in-law, may not be able to do it.
Hou Peichen and Lin Yueyun gave Huang Baijun a gua sha
Next to Huang Baijun, Hou Peichen can first be himself freely, not trembling, like walking on thin ice, and being a wife and mother are quite self-sufficient. She thanked her husband for encouraging her to be relaxed and happy, to be brave and play mrs. without worries.
And the past feelings and memories can already be opened with a smile and looked at, it doesn't matter.
After getting married, Hou Peichen appeared on "Xiaoyan Night" twice, once in the second year after marriage, with the title "Slightly Sweet Wife Life", and the second 7 years after marriage, after giving birth to two sons, the title was "Super Mommy Who Is Strong for Love".
After becoming a mother, Hou Peichen instead eased his nervousness about life and gradually became more comfortable.

The host sighed that she had been in the newspaper to make friends, fall in love, get married... It's really pretty. This time to meet again to know that in fact, she is an insecure girl, from the anchor to the host of the variety show, has been trembling, but also been pointed out.
It is said that beautiful girls are the victory group in life, but this has a lot of pressure on mother and daughter, but Hou Patzen always faces it with a smile. This time, it was still beautiful, but it was still tense.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoyan continued to write, "Being a wife, doing a career, being a mother, is not simple, a beautiful woman, even less simple, because others will be more strict with you." ”
"But you've lived yourself, have a husband to lean on, and have a son to laugh at." Don't be afraid, feel safe, you're a mom. ”
