On February 25, Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu's divorce incident escalated again. At 23:50 that night, Ling Xiaosu finally admitted his romantic relationship with Tang Yifei on Sohu Weibo (click to enter) and made a harsh statement to his ex-wife Yao Chen, only hoping that his ex-wife Yao Chen would take care of herself and be peaceful and happy for the rest of her life! From now on, we will look at each other from afar in the world and never contact each other again until death. After this Weibo post was released, it was quickly reprinted by many media outlets, causing a wave of criticism from netizens. An hour later, this message was quickly deleted. Afterwards, the Sohu reporter immediately called Ling Xiaosu and Tang Yifei, but unfortunately, the phone kept ringing busy and no one answered.
The Weibo world on the 25th was busier than usual. After Tang Yifei denied being the third party in the divorce dispute between Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu a few days ago, at noon on the 25th, Yao Chen posted a Weibo saying "Pinocchio, Pinocchio, turns out you're a woman," which many people speculated was a satire on Tang Yifei for lying. Until 23:50 in the evening, Ling Xiaosu updated his Sohu Weibo via text message, officially acknowledging Tang Yifei as the third party. In addition to explaining Tang Yifei's current situation, he also made a distant call, stating that he wanted to have no contact with Yao Chen until death. This news angered many netizens.
After this Weibo post was sent, Ling Xiaosu's agent Dong Jun (click to enter Weibo) claimed in an interview with a certain media outlet that the Weibo account had been hacked and impersonated. However, from the Sohu Weibo, we could clearly see that this was a text message sent from a mobile phone. Was the Weibo account really hacked, or was it just an excuse? We will continue to follow the development of this matter. Here is the complete original text of Ling Xiaosu's Weibo:
"Listen up! I, Ling Xiaosu, have never denied the existence of a third party; what I've always denied is that the third party is the fundamental cause of the failure of my marriage! It's true that Tang Yifei is indeed my woman. The reason I didn't say it before wasn't because I was afraid, but because it's a family matter of the Ling family, and I think it's none of everyone else's business. Her clarification yesterday was also my intention and has nothing to do with her. But why am I admitting it today? That's because from the divorce until now, all the reasons for the failure of our marriage have been attributed to her, a weak woman, which is absolutely unacceptable! Then what is the real reason that forced me to end all this? I still don't want to say it, nor do I need to say it, because after all, it's the family shame of the Ling family. When I die in the future, I won't be able to explain it to my ancestors! I only hope that my ex-wife Yao Chen takes good care of herself and lives a peaceful and happy life forever! From now on, let us look at each other from afar in the world and never contact each other again until death. Also, please stop here, don't blame and accuse anymore, you are not God, take care of yourselves!"
Follow-up report: Was Ling Xiaosu's Weibo hacked? Analysis of the twists and turns of Yao Chen's divorce case
The evolution of Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu's divorce case should have greatly exceeded the expectations of both the parties involved and netizens. From the initial announcement of their peaceful breakup, to the exposure by the media that Tang Yifei was the third party, and then Ling Xiaosu's admission on Sohu Weibo that "Tang Yifei is indeed my woman," this modern melodrama with its twists and turns has thrilled the onlookers, making them shout in excitement. Sohu Entertainment exclusively analyzed the twists and turns of Yao Chen's divorce case, giving netizens a more comprehensive understanding.
First Wave: Not even a tenth person can make a difference
On January 28, 2012, Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu issued a statement through the media, ending their seven-year marriage. They stated that after the split, they would still consider each other as the most trusted family members in their lives, and they would still believe in love and remain steadfast for life. On February 5, Ling Xiaosu updated his Sohu Weibo: "I know our affairs have saddened many friends, but I really don't want everyone to lose faith in marriage because of this. We are actually very serious and conscientious about life, but we belong to a very special group, walking on tightropes, while you stand on solid ground, relatively safer. Anyway, I'm sorry for troubling everyone!"
At this point, this matter should have come to an end, but it was reignited due to media exposure that Tang Yifei was the third party. On February 22, Ling Xiaosu updated a sincere Weibo post on Sohu, expressing regret over the end of his marriage and firmly denying the existence of a third party, hence "If there were no irreconcilable issues within us, even if there were ten outsiders, wouldn't it be useless?" Who would abandon a partner who has been together for ten years for someone else? Now we are both already in the depths of despair, and our families are extremely sad. Why are there so many cruel words? These words are like sharp knives!
The full Weibo post on February 22 read as follows:
"I remember a writer once said that life is like a performance that cannot be rehearsed. I also feel that although I may not be satisfied with playing other roles in my life, the role I should play well is myself, Ling Xiaosu, which I realized through acting. The failure of my marriage is now a certainty, and the sense of defeat almost crushed me. But when both sides have done their best and still cannot give each other the life they desire, we have no choice but to change the nature of our relationship, otherwise we would just be delaying each other, because if neither side can give the person they care about most happiness, it is truly unbearable! Hence, if there were no irreconcilable issues between us, even if there were ten outsiders, wouldn't it be useless? Who would abandon a partner who has been together for ten years for someone else? Now we are both already in the depths of despair, and our families are extremely sad. Why are there so many cruel words? These words are like sharp knives!"
Second Wave: Pinocchio Turns Out to Be a Woman
Ling Xiaosu's Weibo post on February 22 could not stop the doubts from netizens, and people condemned Tang Yifei in various forms, including harsh language. At 21:10 on February 23, Tang Yifei posted on Weibo saying she was innocent and hoped not to be dragged into it, bearing unfounded accusations. However, many netizens still held a skeptical attitude.
At noon on February 25, Yao Chen posted on Weibo: "Pinocchio, Pinocchio, turns out you're a woman," which many netizens pointed out was a satire on Tang Yifei for lying. And Yao Chen's friend Ning Caishen almost simultaneously posted a comment saying, "Is this thing not embarrassing enough? Doesn't everyone in the circle know your glorious deeds? Don't you fear hurting yourself by telling such a big lie?" This led many netizens to speculate that it was a supportive act for his friend.
Third Wave: Tang Yifei Is Indeed My Woman
At 23:50 on February 25, Ling Xiaosu finally admitted his romantic relationship with Tang Yifei on Weibo and made a harsh statement to his ex-wife Yao Chen, only hoping that his ex-wife Yao Chen would take care of herself and live a peaceful and happy life forever! From now on, let us look at each other from afar in the world and never contact each other again until death. This sensational Weibo post brought the divorce to its climax, prompting numerous netizens to repost and comment, with some even starting to write micro-novels based on it.
Just as many media outlets were ready to dive deeper and netizens were eagerly awaiting developments, Ling Xiaosu's Weibo post was deleted. Afterwards, his agent claimed in an interview that the Weibo account had been hacked and impersonated. By 3 a.m. on February 26, Ling Xiaosu's Weibo posts had been cleared.
Was the Weibo account really hacked, or was it just an excuse? Sohu Entertainment will continue to follow the development of this matter. As of the time of writing, Ling Xiaosu and his agent's phones were constantly busy, with no response yet.
Weibo Account Hacked Theory
On February 25, Ling Xiaosu's Sohu Weibo was updated via SMS. In the Weibo post, he admitted his romantic relationship with Tang Yifei and made a harsh statement to his ex-wife Yao Chen, "Listen up! I, Ling Xiaosu, have never denied the existence of a third party; what I've always denied is that the third party is the fundamental cause of the failure of my marriage! It's true that Tang Yifei is indeed my woman. The reason I didn't say it before wasn't because I was afraid, but because it's a family matter of the Ling family, and I think it's none of everyone else's business. Her clarification yesterday was also my intention and has nothing to do with her. But why am I admitting it today? That's because from the divorce until now, all the reasons for the failure of our marriage have been attributed to her, a weak woman, which is absolutely unacceptable! Then what is the real reason that forced me to end all this? I still don't want to say it, nor do I need to say it, because after all, it's the family shame of the Ling family. When I die in the future, I won't be able to explain it to my ancestors! I only hope that my ex-wife Yao Chen takes good care of herself and lives a peaceful and happy life forever! From now on, let us look at each other from afar in the world and never contact each other again until death. Also, please stop here, don't blame and accuse anymore, you are not God, take care of yourselves!"
Subsequently, despite the denial by agent Dong Jun, claiming that the account was hacked and impersonated, many netizens still raised questions. Below are some views from netizens.
Some netizens' opinions:
Netizen Opinion 1: After being woken up by a phone call from the agent, Ling Xiaosu woke up from his sleep and sent out the Weibo post. B-U-T!!! This Weibo post was sent via text message, indicating that this hacker stole the phone just to send a Weibo post at 23:50 at night, and then returned the phone to the sleeping Ling Xiaosu's side. Are we camping?
Netizen Opinion 2: This is their family matter, just watch and don't get too angry.
Netizen Opinion 3: Just don't claim in the morning that you lost your password...
Netizen Opinion 4: The account being hacked isn't a fresh excuse, missing the chance to create a new buzzword. Alas, the crisis PR is failing.
Netizen Opinion 5: Regardless of whether the account was hacked or not, this Weibo post is pretty manly, at least he dares to take responsibility.
Netizen Opinion 6: This is impossible. If I hacked your account, I would change your password. Currently, this Weibo post has been deleted, indicating two possibilities: 1) self-deletion knowing the password, 2) password reset through Sohu staff. Password reset is unlikely, so...
