Let's uncover Tsai's past to understand why she is so pro-American and pro-Japanese. Born in 1956, Tsai Ing-wen is a Hakka family from Pingtung County, Taiwan. Her father was Cai Haosheng, a traitor businessman with Japanese nationality. Her mother, Zhang Jinfeng, was a lover of a Japanese military officer and gave birth to a child. When the Japanese left Taiwan, Zhang Jinfeng married a wealthy businessman in Taipei and became the fourth aunt. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Tsai Ing-wen is pro-Japanese.
In addition to this historical background, although 67-year-old Tsai Ing-wen is still unmarried, her love life is quite dramatic and worth mentioning. Her first boyfriend was Qiu Huangquan, a college classmate of Ms. Tsai's college and a "human rights lawyer" who has been advocating for so-called human rights in the United States. After that, Tsai Ing-wen dated two boyfriends while studying in the United States and the United Kingdom, but one unfortunately fell to his death, the other cheated, and the two relationships did not come together in the end.
After returning to Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen entered politics. Although she claims that she is no longer married, she has been involved in scandals. Among them even was the bigwig Lee Mouhui, who put forward the "two-state theory" and Tsai Ing-wen as one of its drafters. In addition, Tsai Ing-wen also had an affair with Tang Feng, who later underwent sex reassignment surgery and changed from male to female, but it is not clear whether it was due to Tsai Ing-wen's pressure.
It should be noted that it is unfair to link people's private lives to their political positions, such accusations are not supported by evidence and are immoral. Tsai Ing-wen's political views have nothing to do with her family background, personal life and other factors, and we should judge her by her political achievements and abilities.
During her political career, Tsai Ing-wen served as Taiwan's regional leader, and under her leadership, Taiwan has achieved certain achievements, such as successfully preventing political interference and reunification pressure from Chinese mainland, and strengthening Taiwan's international exchanges and cooperation with other countries.
In addition, Tsai Ing-wen has also shown a very progressive stance on many social issues, such as legalizing same-sex marriage, promoting gender equality, and opposing nuclear energy. These policies have nothing to do with her personal life, but rather the policy direction of her values and the government under her leadership.
His father, Cai Haosheng, was a traitor businessman
Tsai Ing-wen can become Taiwan's leader, in addition to her own talents, but also inseparable from the support of the family behind her. However, her view of opposing cross-strait reunification is inextricably linked to her origins.
Tsai Ing-wen's father, Tsai Jiesheng, was born and raised in Pingtung, Taiwan, and his native family was not wealthy. He grew up in a time of Japanese colonial rule, so he, like many young people, was influenced by Japanese culture. This subtle cultural invasion has led many people to become close to Japan and even regard it as the "mother country".
At that time, Japan often selected Taiwanese teenagers with better qualifications to study in Japan. These young people were trained by Japan, and after returning to Taiwan, they relied on the skills they learned in Japan to enter the upper class and make Japan more control of Taiwan. Cai Jiesheng is one of them. He was selected by Japan at the age of 12 to study mechanical repair in Tohoku.
In 1937, when Cai Jiesheng graduated, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full force. After graduating, he repaired fighter jets for Japan and was transferred in 1944 to work at Okayama Airport, one of the largest overseas air bases of the Japanese army. During the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, he made many contributions to Japan. But with Japan's defeat and the Nationalist government regaining control of Taiwan, Cai Jiesheng became an unemployed vagrant overnight.
This black history is deliberately avoided between Tsai Jiesheng and Tsai Ing-wen. Ms. Tsai's opposition to cross-strait reunification may have something to do with her father's experience. At the same time, Taiwanese society still has a special affection for Japan, a scar left by the colonial era. But Tsai Ing-wen became Taiwan's leader through her own talent and family support. Her views on cross-strait relations are the result of a combination of her personal experience and family background.
Mother Zhang Jinfeng, Japanese officer lover
To talk about the Tsai family's connection to the Japanese, we need to start with her mother, Zhang Jinfeng. After the Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was ceded to Japan by the Qing government. Chang Jinfeng is a Taiwanese who lived with a Japanese during the Japanese occupation and gave birth to a son. However, after the end of World War II, the Japanese returned to Japan alone, abandoning Zhang Jinfeng and their son. Zhang Jinfeng had to raise his son alone, and his life was very difficult.
However, Zhang Jinfeng's fate changed by chance. She meets Tsai Jiesheng, Tsai Ing-wen's father, who has become a wealthy businessman. Zhang Jinfeng's beautiful appearance attracted Cai Jiesheng's attention, and he took the initiative to take care of Zhang Jinfeng and her son, eventually bringing her home to become his fourth wife.
Although Cai Jiesheng did not care about Zhang Jinfeng and the son born in Japan, he regarded this child as his nephew and paid a high price for an ordinary family to help raise him. Zhang Jinfeng was full of gratitude to Cai Jiesheng and lived a happy and peaceful life, giving birth to two sons and two daughters for him, the youngest of which was Tsai Ing-wen.
Tsai's lack of political wisdom and deep influence from Japanese culture led her to insist on following the Taiwan independence line, and Ma Ying-jeou said that only by changing course or replacing her could she save Taiwan.
