Recently, Wang Xiaofei went live on his SNS, stating, “The condition of my two children has improved significantly. They are currently living with my wife.“
He continued “As a father, I was concerned about my children’s physical and mental well-being, so I decided to be with them. It’s a difficult time, but I will grit my teeth and endure it“, confirming that he is currently living with Barbie Hsu’s two children.
Notably, he added, “I hope the children can return to a normal life as soon as possible. They have lost their biological mother, but their stepmother is taking good care of them.” He further emphasized, “I don’t want the conflicts between adults to destroy the world of these children.”
After Barbie Hsu passed away, the lives of her two children have drawn significant public attention. In particular, the children, named Wang Hsi-yueh and Wang Hsi-lin, are believed to have not received the necessary care and attention from their maternal family after the shock of losing their mother.
However, on February 26, media outlet Next Apple released an exclusive video of Barbie Hsu’s son, showing that he was still physically fine.
According to reporters, since Barbie Hsu’s ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei, arrived in Taiwan (China), he has sent a car to pick up his children from Barbie Hsu’s house every day and take them to his villa. The children have nannies closely caring for and supervising them. Recently, the son, Hsi-lin visited the home of singer couple Blackie Chen and Christine Fan to play with their children, who were friends of his mother. Paparazzi reported that Barbie Hsu’s children appeared healthy, cheerful, and active, running around energetically.
All in all, according to industry sources, Barbie Hsu’s two children are currently receiving care from their biological father as well as friends of their late mother. Everyone is trying to create a positive environment to ensure the children’s psychological well-being after the major loss they have endured.
The latest images of Wang Hsi-lin have somewhat reassured the public. However, netizens have expressed concern about the clothing of Barbie Hsu’s children. Wang Hsi-lin is often seen wearing very thin clothes and open-toed sandals when going out, despite temperatures in Taipei (Taiwan, China) being as low as 13°C. Regarding this matter, the media has defended Barbie Hsu’s family, reporting that Wang Xiaofei himself once stated that his son does not like thick clothing, preferring to wear slippers and loose, thin, breathable outfits.
Previously, media outlet 163 News reported on February 24 that the ongoing legal battle between Wang Xiaofei and Barbie Hsu’s family over inheritance and a 35 million TWD debt has been temporarily halted.
This is because Barbie Hsu’s two children have fallen ill and were hospitalized. Upon arriving in Taiwan on February 21, Wang Xiaofei and his wife Mandy immediately went to visit the children. They quickly noticed something was wrong—Wang Hsi-yueh and Wang Hsi-lin appeared lethargic, fatigued and feverish. Without hesitation, Wang Xiaofei rushed them to the emergency room late at night.
A leaked message from a nurse at Taipei Children’s Hospital revealed that both children were suffering from a severe cough and high fever, requiring intravenous fever-reducing treatment for 18 hours. Throughout the night, Wang Xiaofei was visibly anxious, constantly checking their temperatures and warming their IV medicine inside his coat to prevent it from feeling too cold. At 3 AM, he even went out to buy a humidifier for them.
News of the children’s condition after their mother’s passing has left the public heartbroken and concerned. On Weibo, netizens questioned why Barbie Hsu’s family failed to notice the children’s deteriorating health. Many speculated that if Wang Xiaofei had not arrived in Taiwan in time, the consequences could have been even worse.
Critics accused Barbie Hsu’s relatives of neglecting the children while focusing on fighting Wang Xiaofei over inheritance. This isn’t the first time the family has faced backlash previously, they were condemned for allegedly ignoring Barbie Hsu’s worsening condition when she fell ill in Japan. Her repeated delays in seeking treatment ultimately led to fatal pneumonia complications within just five days.
Further scrutiny on Weibo suggests Barbie Hsu’s family treated her children unfairly following her passing. According to reports, Barbie Hsu’s mother took Dee Hsu’s children back to Taiwan a day before Barbie Hsu’s ashes were brought home. At the airport, Dee Hsu’s children were fully covered—wearing masks, hats and well-coordinated outfits.
However, on February 5, during the flight from Japan to Taiwan, Barbie Hsu’s two children were left without any adult family members accompanying them. No staff was assigned to shield them from media attention, and they were seen navigating the airport alone under the guidance of security personnel. This lack of support made them easy targets for photographers, leading to widespread images of their vulnerable state on the day their mother’s ashes were returned home.
One particular cultural misstep further fueled public outrage the children’s clothing choices during their mother’s homecoming ceremony. While traditional Chinese mourning customs dictate that family members wear black or dark-colored clothing, Wang Hsi-yueh was seen wearing a white coat, and Wang Hsi-lin was dressed in a red coat colors considered highly inappropriate for mourning.
This oversight led to accusations that Barbie Hsu’s family failed to properly care for the children, potentially exposing them to public criticism for appearing disrespectful toward their late mother.
According to ETtoday, Barbie Hsu’s daughter Wang Hsi-yueh has been deeply affected by her mother’s passing crying frequently to the point where her eyes became swollen. The media and public alike have urged for immediate attention and emotional support for the children during this difficult time. However, many believe Barbie Hsu’s family has shown little regard for their well-being, leaving them feeling isolated and abandoned instead.
