Liu Jiachang is a famous Chinese musician who has composed beautiful songs for countless classic movies and TV series, and is known as the "Godfather of Music". His life was full of splendor and glory, but also with unknown bitterness and sorrow. At the age of 80.
He even published a thousand-word long article on social platforms, publicly rebuking his ex-wife Zhen Zhen and son Zhang Liheng (formerly known as Liu Ziqian) for their crimes. This article has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and also made people have a deeper understanding of the marriage turmoil between Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen.
Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen's romance began in 1978, when they were both Chinese artists living and working in New York, USA. Zhen Zhen is a beautiful and talented actress who used to be the wife of Hong Kong movie star Xie Xian, but divorced because of Xie Xian's flower heart. Liu Jiachang is a successful and famous musician who once directed and soundscored the movie "Plum Blossom" starring Zhen Zhen.
The two met and fell in love and soon became husband and wife. In 1986, their son Liu Ziqian was born, seemingly a happy family of three. However, the good times did not last long, and the marriage of Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen soon cracked. According to Liu Jiachang revealed in the article, Zhen Zhen has not actually forgotten Xie Xian, she just used Liu Jiachang to gain wealth and fame.
She not only kept in touch with Xie Xian behind Liu Jiachang's back, but also transferred the money earned by Liu Jiachang to an account in her name. She also instigated her son Liu Ziqian to join her against Liu Jiachang, make him change his name and surname, and follow her everywhere to fight for property. Liu Jiachang said that he had lost trust and affection for Zhen Zhen and his son, and he could only endure this "unfortunate" marriage.
Until 2015, Zhen Zhen suddenly broke the news in the media that she and Liu Jiachang had divorced in 1995 and produced a divorce agreement as evidence. The agreement shows that Zhen Zhen renounced her right to claim all of Liu Jiachang's property and agreed to let Liu Ziqian live with Liu Jiachang. This news surprised the outside world and shocked Liu Jiachang.
He said the agreement was forged and that he had never signed such a document. He suspects that Zhen Zhen made such a move to evade an investigation by the tax authorities. As a result, Liu Jiachang decided to file a lawsuit against Zhen Zhen and asked the court to confirm the marriage relationship and the distribution of property between them. Since 2017, the two sides have waged a protracted legal battle in the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.
Liu Jiachang accused Zhen Zhen and his son Zhang Liheng (Liu Ziqian officially changed his name in 2019) of fraud, forging documents, tax evasion, property seizure and other crimes, and provided some evidence to support his claims. Zhen Zhen and Zhang Liheng refuted Liu's accusations and claimed that they were Liu Jiachang's legal heirs and had the right to claim a share of his property.
The lawsuit lasted until 2023, during which the two sides refused to give in to each other and attacked each other. Liu Jiachang said he had paid too much for the incident, not only losing huge wealth, but also losing health and happiness. He said that he only wants a quiet and peaceful old age now, and does not want to be entangled by Zhen Zhen and his son anymore. He hoped that the court would deliver a fair verdict as soon as possible so that he could get out of this nightmare.
The marriage turmoil between Liu Jiachang and Zhen Zhen has made people see the sad exposure of an 80-year-old man. They used to be a loving couple, but they became enemies because of property and affection. Their sons also became tools of their struggle, and they lost the love of father and son. Such a story makes people feel regretful and sad. Perhaps, this is the impermanence of life.
