On January 18, well-known artist Zheng Shuang’s ex-boyfriend Zhang Heng posted on Weibo in response to recent scams, loan sharks and other black hot searches, saying that he was staying in the United States for two innocent babies, and posted a picture of him with two children He responded in the circle of friends that he was his own child.
Later, the media exposed the birth certificate of the child, and the pinyin of the child's mother was the same as Zheng Shuang.
At around 19:00 that day, Zhang Heng's friend provided the media with a recording of suspected Zheng Shuang and Zhang Heng's parents, which triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.
File exposure
One son and one daughter born in the United States
After Zhang Heng posted his Weibo, his friends claimed: “He (Zhang Heng) is indeed taking care of two children in the United States. Then, because Ms. Zheng Shuang did not cooperate with many legal procedures, he could not get the children to return home legally. So he can't come back either. Zhang Heng's psychological pressure there is very heavy."
And Zhang Heng's friend provided two other documents to the media.
The first document named "Certificate of Colorado Population Records" clearly stated in the mother column "Mother's first legal name: Shuang ZHENG" and "Date of Birth 19190822", father's name is "HENG ZHANG", father was born China, age 29.
The boy's birth date is December 2019.
Another "Nevada State Population Record Birth Certificate" shows that the girl was born in January 2020.
Later, some netizens spent money to search for "ZHANG, HENG" and "ZHENG, SHUANG" lawsuits from the U.S. court filing system. The court hearing was on March 22, 2021.
All this information points to Zheng Shuang's identity as the child's mother.
And Zheng Shuang has been filming variety shows in the past year, and the exposure rate is high. It is impossible to have two children without being discovered by the media, and the two children are not twins, and the date of birth is half a month apart.
According to this, netizens pointed out that this may be a surrogacy in the United States, and found two surrogate mothers to give birth for themselves.
CCTV criticized
The law cannot tolerate morals
On the 18th, Zhang Heng's friend provided the media with a recording of suspected Zheng Shuang and Zhang Heng's parents. The edited content was a conversation between the suspected Zheng Shuang and the parents on how to handle the children.
In the recording, the woman and her parents both put forward the opinion of abandoning support: "The two are separated. If they are separated, no one can afford to support them. Just tell the hospital to abandon the support, and then abandon it." (Father)" These two children just can’t ask for a word.” (Father-in-law) “These two children really can’t be beaten up for seven months, TMD” (female)” There is another way, that is, adopt, and after birth, I gave it away (mother-in-law)" The man's father rejected the proposal in the recording: "No, you think it simple. Do you know that this is illegal in the United States?"
At noon on the 19th, one day after the surrogacy and marital concealment incidents fermented, Zheng Shuang finally updated his Weibo and responded to the matter.
Zheng Shuang said in his response that this was a very sad and private matter, because it had been exposed and had to respond.
"If all uncertified information requires me to explain it publicly, this is my most sincere answer."
Later, CCTV News released a Weibo that "comments on the laws and ethics of surrogacy and abandonment are difficult to tolerate" to criticize: a surrogate mother was "returned" before, and a celebrity was suspected of abandoning surrogacy. I can’t get rid of it, I’m so annoying."
Surrogacy is expressly prohibited in our country, and its disregard for life is heinous: a surrogate child born into a boy will be forcibly aborted when pregnant with a girl; if the fetus is defective or discarded... such trampling on the bottom line is difficult for the law and morals!
Multilateralism
Draw boundaries and terminate cooperation
Whether Zheng Shuang really concealed marriage, surrogacy and abandoning her husband has not yet been finalized, but it has become a fact that many brands and partners have "drawn a line" with her.
The reporter noticed that the official Weibo of "Bazaar", "Weekend Pictorial STYLE", LOLA ROSE watches, kangaroo hair care and other parties that have cooperated with Zheng Shuang have deleted the related dynamics of Zheng Shuang's endorsement or shooting.
A series of brands endorsed by Zheng Shuang have also been affected.
Only a few days after the announcement of Zheng Shuang as the spokesperson, the Hong Kong stock price of Prada began to fall in the afternoon of the 18th, and finally closed down 1.70% to 46.20 Hong Kong dollars, with a market value of 118.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.
On the afternoon of the 19th, Prada Fashion Business (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. announced through Weibo that Prada Group has terminated all cooperative relations with Ms. Zheng Shuang.
The continuation of the incident caused headaches for producers of TV series and variety shows in which Zheng Shuang participated.
All along, the State Administration of Radio and Television has repeatedly stated that it will not provide unscrupulous artists with public appearances and voice opportunities.
In other words, once there are problems such as violations of law and morality, their performing arts are basically "cool."
At present, Zheng Shuang still has two dramas to be broadcast, namely "Jianghuai is Still" and "Jade Lovers".
According to the latest news, the film "1921" directed by Huang Jianxin has also deleted Zheng Shuang's name.

Zheng Shuang and Zhang Hengqin divorce in the United States
Does it constitute abandonment?
How to fight the lawsuit?
In the District Court of Denver, the capital of Colorado, senior US lawyer Liu Longzhu verified that there was indeed a divorce between Zhang Heng and Zheng Shuang.
Liu Longzhu told reporters that in the United States, one spouse who does not want children does not constitute "abandonment" in the legal sense.
Send the child to the local fire department and police station within 72 hours after birth. “(Anyone) will not ask you any questions, they will send the child to the orphanage.” Some families also hope to adopt it.
In a divorce lawsuit, one party does not want children and the other party wants them. This means that both parties get what they want and do not fight for custody.
According to U.S. law, when the custody rights are allocated at 100:0 (that is, one of the parties completely waives the upbringing of children), the party responsible for the upbringing can ask the other party for all the support.
The court will calculate the amount of support for each child based on a formula.
It is reported that child support is calculated based on the income of the parents.
Even if the property and income of both parties involved are overseas, the court will verify their income based on the mutual proof of both parties and the verification between the lawyers of both parties through tax filing records, property certificates, bank records, and statements.
Liu Longzhu said that US law has a mechanism for obtaining the required information and documents, so that the facts can be displayed to the greatest extent, and then judges can make a decision.
A divorce case will also involve alimony between husband and wife.
According to Liu Longzhu, the laws of various states in the United States have similar provisions on alimony. Taking California as an example, the calculation of alimony is half the time of marriage.
That is, if married for two years, one party can request alimony for one year.
The amount of alimony is calculated by a specific formula based on the income gap between the husband and wife.
Liu Longzhu said that when the marriage time is shorter, the income gap between the two parties is smaller, and there is no special significance in fighting for alimony.

Surrogacy
my country has clear regulations: It is forbidden to buy and sell gametes, zygotes, and embryos in any form.
Medical institutions and medical staff shall not implement any form of surrogacy technology.
However, the reporter found after investigation that they knew it was illegal, and there were still people taking risks. From buying and selling sperm and egg cells, to "surrogate mother" pregnancy and giving birth to children, they can all be done in China.
30,000 eggs for blind selection, 200,000 for meeting
On January 19, the reporter contacted an underground agency as a buyer. Xiao Wu (a pseudonym) of the agency's staff claimed that they could provide sperm, egg cells and "surrogate mothers", as well as all medical services throughout the surrogacy process.
"In Thailand, Cambodia and Ukraine, these are all legal." Xiao Wu said that her institution has its own medical institutions in Cambodia and Thailand, and buyers can go to these two countries to conduct transactions, or in the country. Conducted by medical institutions.
Xiao Wu told reporters that currently, there are many surrogacy packages offered by their agency.
If the institution is allowed to bear the risk (Cesarean section of the surrogate mother, failed transplantation) and to screen the embryos (gender and genetic diseases), the domestic price will be around 600,000 yuan.
And if the buyer takes the initiative to bear the risks and the costs incurred, or does not require embryo screening, the domestic cost of surrogacy is about 450,000 to 500,000 yuan.
If the customer is an infertile group and cannot provide healthy sperm or egg cells, their institution can provide them. Egg cells are more expensive than sperm.
"If you need sperm, we will contact'volunteers'. The prices for different volunteers are different. Some volunteers are from the 985 University, some are 187cm tall, and some have piano tenth grade... The price ranges from 10,000 to 30,000. , This price includes their medical examination fee and round-trip fare." Xiao Wu said.
"Blind egg selection is 30,000. Blind selection means that there is no information. If you want to meet and have a request, it is 40,000 to 200,000." Xiao Wu said.
Less than half of the buyer's money is given to the "surrogate mother"
As mentioned above, the cost of surrogacy alone is about 450,000 to 600,000 yuan, so how much money can the "surrogate mother" get?
On January 19, the reporter contacted Lao Zhao (a pseudonym) of a surrogacy agency. When the reporter expressed his intention to become a "surrogate mother", Lao Zhao briefed the reporter on the current situation in the surrogacy market.
Lao Zhao said that if the "surrogate mother" succeeded in giving birth to a child, he would receive about 210,000-220,000 yuan. "If the (embryo) transfer is unsuccessful, it will also give 5,000 yuan in compensation." The "surrogate mother" they recruited. Must be a female under 35 years of age, with experience in childbirth, no history of sexually transmitted diseases and genetic diseases.
When the "surrogate mother" decides to surrogate, they will live in the place provided by the agency, including food and housing. After the transplant and pregnancy are successful, the "surrogate mother" cannot leave the city. They must wait until the child is born. go away.
So, will the "surrogate mother" and the buyer have disputes over the ownership of the child?
Xiao Wu told reporters that she has been in this industry for more than 10 years, but she has never encountered any disputes. "They all do it voluntarily, and basically they are already doing it. Then we will introduce fellow villagers from the old village." Chengdu Commercial Daily-Red Star News reporter Yang Peiwen

Zheng Shuang's "surrogacy suspicion"
What are people shocking
In recent years, with the advancement of biomedicine, egg freezing and surrogacy technologies have become mature.
Although China currently explicitly prohibits surrogacy, in some foreign places, these assistance or reproductive behaviors are allowed.
Therefore, in recent years, the media has also exposed many black chains of surrogacy and childbirth in the United States.
But this time, Zheng Shuang's surrogacy crisis seemed even more shocking.
Judging from the information currently exposed, the public perception challenged by the storm, apart from the controversy of surrogacy itself, lies in the behavior of suspected abandonment.
From the outgoing recordings, you can even hear the thoughts of having wanted to knock the child out.
For example, "Two people are separated. If they are separated, no one can afford it. Just talk to the hospital and give up and give up." "These two children can't ask for a word." "There is another way. , Is to adopt, give away after birth..."
If the details of the recording are true, it is really shocking. A mature and rational adult would be so irrational and irresponsible for his new life.
Surrogacy is the same as birth by oneself, in creating life. Once a child is born, parents are responsible to him (her). This is not only a legal obligation, but also the most basic morality.
It is understandable if it is explained that the star artist is concealing the status of marriage and childbirth, but if it is not responsible for the children, it is not just an entertainment topic, but a social topic with universal discussion significance.
Nowadays, there are also some adults in society who are no longer young at their biological ages. It seems like a child's play to make major life-related decisions.
When you are passionately in love, you have a hot head and want children; if you don't love or break up, you want to abandon your children. Such capriciousness is extremely psychologically immature.
Even without the status of a star, this matter itself has great social significance-what is a healthy concept of fertility, life and values?
Everyone with independent civil capacity should have it.
Of course, the authenticity of the recording has yet to be fully confirmed, and the content does not rule out the possibility of taking out of context.
Here, we don’t have to rush to oversubstitute.
After jumping out of the restriction of star status, how to treat the problem of "don't want to raise after surrogacy" is actually more of a public value to maintain attention.
I also advise people, if they are not fully prepared, they should not easily create small lives, be responsible to themselves, and even more importantly, be responsible to small lives, otherwise they will harm others and themselves.
