Barbie Hsu's family reportedly needs Wang Xiaofei's wife's permission to visit
Barbie Hsu's children are currently under the care of their father, businessman Wang Xiaofei, and his new wife, Mandy Ma. Photos: Mandy Ma/Instagram, Lin Huei-chin/Instagram Since the sudden passing of Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu in February this year, her two young children have been living with their father, businessman Wang Xiaofei, and his new wife, Mandy Ma. However, Ma's role as stepmother has sparked controversy – with many feeling she's overstepping her bounds. According to a Sin Chew report citing Taiwanese media, members of Hsu's family now have to get Ma's permission before they can visit the children. During a livestream, Ma explained that although the children are attending school in Taiwan and have formed their own social circles, they still need time to adjust to their new home life. As a result, even close relatives on Hsu's side reportedly face difficulties seeing them, due to what many view as Ma's strict gatekeeping. The report also noted that the children were previously photographed visiting the home of Taiwanese TV host Blackie Chen. However, Ma has allegedly banned any future visits, claiming the environment is not suitable for the children. This move may be linked to past controversy surrounding Chen, who was accused of sexual harassment in 2023 by a former artiste from his agency. Chen has denied the allegations and subsequently sued the actress for defamation. Hsu, also known by her stage name 'Big S', died at the age of 48 on Feb 2 after she came down with influenza-related pneumonia while on vacation with her family in Japan. She was later cremated in Japan.

Wang Xiaofei and Mandy Ma held banquet in Beijing
19 May - A year after they registered their marriage, Wang Xiaofei and Taiwanese wife Mandy Ma finally held their wedding in Beijing. The wedding was held at the Prince Jun's Mansion Hotel, a courtyard hotel in the traditional Chinese style with over 400 years of history. Wang reportedly held a low-key banquet with only close friends and family members attending, and did not accept any monetary gifts. It was speculated that both of his children with the late Barbie Hsu were also not in attendance, as their official nanny was seen still in Taiwan. Wang said "I do" twice at the altar when asked if they are willing to be together until the end, while Mandy nodded in agreement. Wang's mother Zhang Lan was the happiest of them all. She expressed that as a single mother, she had been as strong as a mountain for many years, and now seeing her son standing hand in hand with his beloved, she finally understood that true love is to find someone who is willing to share both the rainbow and the rain. "You are about to embark on a life that may experience summer rainstorms and the test of autumn winds, but please believe that as long as the roots are tightly intertwined, you will eventually usher in a harvest season as bright as rubies," she expressed.
