"representative to Japan" Xie Changting recently posted on Facebook, saying that the news that his son Xie Weizhou committed suicide and was hospitalized was "completely fake news." Xie Changting even revealed that Xie Weizhou changed his surname and hid his name, kept a low profile and tried hard to get rid of the past. However, Taiwan's "Mirror Weekly" received a leak that Xie Weizhou was addicted to the fortune-telling industry during his tenure as a member of parliament and owed large debts to the bank. He was unable to repay the debt after losing the election. After in-depth discussions, the father and son terminated the adoption relationship at the end of last year. Xie Weizhou changed from his biological mother's surname to "Zhang Weizhou".
Xie Changting also said that Xie Weizhou had been in politics for four years, and his personality was completely unacceptable. He was labeled as a second generation of political generation. His spirit was always in pain, and his words and deeds were distorted. He was also in debt in the election last year. After losing the election, he "changed his surname and hid his name", reflected in a low-key manner, and tried hard to get rid of the political connections of the past and live an ordinary life. He also said that this false news was reported at this time, which would also be a test for Xie Weizhou.
"Mirror Weekly" obtained a verdict from the Shilin District Court on July 4, confirming Hsieh's statement. It turned out that Xie Weizhou borrowed 2.5 million yuan (NTD, the same below) from South China Bank in 2015, but has not repaid since December 28 last year. The liquidated damages plus interest still owed 1.48 million yuan. Xie Weizhou did not present on the debate date as scheduled, which was like admitting the facts of the debt. However, the defendant's name in the judgment has been changed to "Zhang Weizhou", and the name of the name "formerly name Xie Weizhou" is marked in brackets.
Xie Weizhou ran for the first district council member of Taipei City on behalf of the Democratic Progressive Party at the end of last year, and was defeated by a gap of less than 900 votes. After that, the huge debt he owed immediately emerged. In the court's judgment record, he owed more than one bank, and four of them were listed as defendants this year. The causes of the case were all about repaying loans, paying for payment of payment cards and paying orders, totaling about 2.4 million yuan.
Xie Weizhou was addicted to lottery signing in the past and was once exposed to debt of tens of millions of yuan, which also made Xie Changting furious at that time.
People familiar with the matter revealed that Tsai Changting returned to Taiwan on Christmas Eve last year to assist in the settlement of the staff of the Sesai Weizhou parliamentarians' research office and service office. However, when he learned that his son owed multiple credit loans from the bank and had no ability to repay his debts, Tsai Changting had no intention of helping his son repay his debts. After the two had a long talk, the two decided to terminate the adoption relationship. Xie Weizhou also agreed that he would not inherit Tsai Changting's property in the future, and then went to the household registration office to change his ID card.
