Having enjoyed worry-free treatment since childhood, Lin Jingen was born in Taiwan's well-known Lin family. But who would have thought that her life would embark on such a bumpy road. Today, she is not only destitute, but also reduced to begging on the streets, sometimes insane and disorderly, which is deplorable.
The haze of the Lin family and the emptiness of Lin Jingen's heart
On the surface, the Lin family is a well-known business family in Taiwan, and the family is well-off. But in his bones, this family is not very happy.
Lin Jingen's parents divorced when she was 3 years old. Her mother took more care of her sister, which made Lin Jingen lack fatherly love since she was a child, and her heart was empty and lonely. The rich material life could not fill her longing for family affection, and she always had an unrealizable dream in her heart - to have a complete and warm home.
At the age of 13, a seemingly ordinary piano teacher broke into Lin Jingen's life and became a short reliance in her life.
At that time, Li Kuncheng was 53 years old and was a teacher invited by the Lin family to teach piano lessons to the sisters. Due to her wealthy family, her sister was not very attentive to piano lessons, but Lin Jingen was particularly devoted, and gradually regarded this middle-aged pianist from other provinces as a close friend.
In Lin Jingen's eyes, Li Kuncheng not only taught her music knowledge, but also a mentor and psychological support in life. At this age of lack of fatherly love, Li Kuncheng's appearance gave Lin Jingen an unprecedented sense of security. The two gradually narrowed the distance between teachers and students, and also surpassed the boundaries outside of teachers and students.
A "grandfather and grandson love" that was strongly opposed by society
In 2013, when 18-year-old Lin Jingen and 66-year-old Li Kuncheng took the initiative to make their relationship public, the whole of Taiwan was in an uproar. A pair of "grandfather and grandson love" with an age difference of 48 years has aroused strong opposition from society.
The family even reprimanded Lin Jingen for being poisoned by Li Kuncheng and wanted to order the two to sever their relationship. But Lin Jingen insisted on going his own way, and even announced that he wanted to marry Li Kuncheng. Her dependence on this teacher has exceeded ordinary people's imagination, and Li Kuncheng seems to control everything about her.
Until 2022, 67-year-old Li Kuncheng was hospitalized with advanced colorectal cancer. In front of the hospital bed, which was on the verge of death, he made a request to Lin Jingen that shocked everyone: marry Lin Jingen.
Although the family continued to strongly oppose it, 27-year-old Lin Jingen still completed a hasty marriage ceremony with Li Kuncheng in the hospital ward in October 2022.
The newlyweds with a disparity in age have sparked heated discussions and condemnation among netizens across Taiwan and even around the world. Many people blamed it on Li Kuncheng for taking advantage of Lin Jingen's youth and ignorance to poison and control her.
However, the farce is not over yet. In April 2023, before his death, Li Kuncheng transferred all the properties in his name to his wife Lin Jingen.
This decision undoubtedly pushed Lin Jingen to the center of another turmoil. Li Kuncheng's son Li Zhuoxuan scolded Lin Jingen for being a "third party" and a "money woman", and the two fell into a tense contradiction over the inheritance.
From the daughter of a rich family to a beggar on the street
What happened next was the complete collapse of Lin Jingen's life. In this inheritance dispute, she gradually lost all her property and became a penniless "pauper".
A rich daughter who was supposed to have no worries about food and clothing lost everything overnight. She had to desperately sell the properties left behind by Li Kuncheng, but she was still homeless.
What's even more tragic is that Lin Jingen began to go insane under this huge blow. There have been witnesses on the street who saw her walking naked and wildly walking, and her behavior was extremely disordered.
From being doted on by his family at the beginning, to being used by his teacher, and now becoming a beggar, Lin Jingen's life can be described as full of ups and downs and tragedies. Her experience reflects the dark side of modern society, such as moral decay, disparity between rich and poor, and distortion of human nature.
At the end of 2023, Lin Jingen will go completely insane under the pressure of continuous inheritance lawsuits and life, and become a real wandering beggar.
Passers-by witnessed her wandering the streets of downtown Taipei every day naked, her hair unkempt and her expression in a trance. Occasionally, she would burst into a burst of tears, scratch her face, and behave in an outrageous manner.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that sometimes Lin Jingen will defecate on the street, completely losing the basic self-care ability of an adult. She makes ends meet by picking up garbage and begging from passers-by, barely surviving every day.
Once upon a time, she was a millionaire, but now she is penniless, wandering the streets all day long, repeating meaningless gibberish. Some warm-hearted people tried to help her, but she frequently refused and hurled insults, which made people helpless.
The family abandoned Lin Jingen
The most chilling thing is that Lin Jingen's family has completely abandoned her. Her father, Lin Jianhong, as a wealthy businessman in Taiwan, naturally did not want to see his daughter become like this.
The Lin family avoided her and had a ruthless attitude. My sister also ignored her, as if she had put aside this "family ugly" and didn't want to care about this humiliating matter.
A rich girl who was originally doted on has now fallen into such a situation, and no one has contributed to her, which is really regrettable. Her poor family has long abandoned her, and she can only survive by begging and scavenging.
I don't know if it was out of fear or self-blame, the family seemed to abandon Lin Jingen at the bottom of her life and let her wander on the streets.
It was only recently that Lin Jingen's situation of begging for food on the streets was exposed by a media outlet. An enthusiastic citizen witnessed the scene of her defecating naked and insane, and only after calling the police did it attract social attention.
According to expert analysis, Lin Jingen's condition at the moment is so serious that he needs to be forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment. And before being taken to the hospital, she is likely to die on the streets due to malnutrition or other accidents.
The incident has once again sparked heated discussions online. Some people sympathize with her plight and believe that she is an innocent victim who deserves to be rescued by the whole society. But some people think that Lin Jingen's behavior in his early years was too debauched and disorderly, and now he is to blame.
The voices of all sides have risen up, but they also highlight the social problems reflected in this incident - distorted values of money supremacy, lack of family education, moral depravity of individual behavior, etc., all of which are worth pondering.
Li Kuncheng's family's response to the dispute
On the other hand, Li Kuncheng's son Li Zhuoxuan also recently commented on Lin Jingen's fate. On the one hand, he scolded Lin Jingen for being a "third party" and "liar", and on the other hand, he also expressed regret for his father's behavior back then.
Li Zhuoxuan said: "My father was self-willed in his later years, and was completely confused and used by Miss Lin Jingen. Although I sympathize with Lin Jingen's current situation, I also hope that she can reflect on what she has done and not make mistakes again and again. "
"I will do my best to take back the part of the inheritance that belongs to our family through legal means. After all, it was my father's lifelong hard work. Li Zhuoxuan obviously hated Lin Jingen to the core.
Will this lawsuit bring a new turn for Lin Jingen? Perhaps only by waiting for the final verdict of the court will we find out. But in any case, this incident is a wake-up call for us to reflect on many aspects of society, including family, education, morality and law.
This incident has also triggered us to think deeply about family education and youth guidance. When a person is young and ignorant, if he is misled, he is very likely to go astray. Are there still too many young people like Lin Jingen who have been deceived and deceived?
This is not only an individual tragedy, but also a portrayal of the lack of social education. We need to reflect on how to enable every young person to receive good family care and moral education, to stay away from temptation and misdirection, and to have a rational and independent life.
