There has been a lot of rumors about him. Some sources said that he was executed by the soldiers just after the Tiananmen massacre. And other sources said that Jiang Ze-Min secretly ordered to his men to find and execute him. All these rumors have proven untrue now.
He has avoided contact with the media so far and is living quietly with his wife and 7 year old *** in Taibei.
