(Central News Agency reporters Yang Mingzhu and Dai Yazhen, Tokyo, 15th) The cross-border lawsuit between Taiwanese table tennis player Jiang Hongjie and his ex-wife Fukuhara Ai has reached a settlement. Ai Fukuhara appeared at a press conference today and said she was sorry that her personal incident had caused trouble to all walks of life and that she had reached a settlement with Jiang Hongjie. Ai Fukuhara, who has not appeared in the media for a long time, looks like she has lost a lot of weight. Many Japanese netizens said, “I feel like my face has changed.”

Lawyers from both sides held a press conference at the Japan Foreign Correspondents Association this afternoon. Fukuhara Ai issued a simple statement before the meeting and then left.

Ai Fukuhara, who was wearing a dark suit jacket, said she apologized for the trouble caused by this personal incident. She and Jiang Hongjie have reached a reconciliation and will work together to take care of their families in the future. She hopes that the public will give her warm support.

Regarding Fukuhara Ai, who has not appeared in front of the media for a long time, netizens said, “Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen her for a long time and I feel thinner.” “Fukuhara Ai’s face has changed” and “the impression she gives people has changed.”

When Jiang Hongjie held a press conference in Tokyo last year, he said that Fukuhara Ai violated the agreement between the two parties and therefore went to court. He received the judgment result of the Japanese court on July 20 last year and hoped that Fukuhara Ai could implement the court order as soon as possible. However, after the judgment result was released, Fukuhara Ai did not respond at all.

Jiang Hongjie’s lawyer, Obuchi Aiko, said today that Jiang Hongjie applied for enforcement of the court order after the last press conference, but Fukuhara Ai took his family to China, so it could not be enforced.

Fukuhara Ai’s attorney Sakai Nao said today, “Fukuhara Ai may have her own personal emotional factors, but as her attorney, I think it was inappropriate for her to not implement the decision after the referee result was released.” As for no. Regarding the reason for executing the order, she said, “I heard that the person Ai Fukuhara consulted gave her this advice.”

Ai Fukuhara subsequently appealed, but it was rejected in December last year. Fukuhara Ai filed a special protest with the Supreme Court, and Jiang Hongjie filed a criminal complaint.

Since the incident took too long, the two parties sought reconciliation. After repeated discussions, they reached an agreement and decided to work together to take care of their families in the future. As for how much time Fukuhara Ai will be able to spend with her family in the future, the lawyer said that she could not give a specific answer.

After the meeting, Obuchi Aiko told the Central News Agency reporter that the difficulty of this lawsuit is that Fukuhara once took her family to China, making it difficult for both parties to negotiate. Xu Songbo, another lawyer representing Jiang Hongjie, pointed out that since both parties are celebrities and attracted attention from all walks of life, the lawyers of both parties handled the lawsuit very seriously, and fortunately it was finally resolved satisfactorily.
