More than a week has passed since Jiang Jinfu’s domestic violence case against his girlfriend came to light. Jiang Jinfu wrote a public apology on social media, but his whereabouts remained unknown.
On November 27, Haruka Nakaura appeared on a Japanese program to reveal the details of the abuse and the extent of her injuries. Various rumors have been cropping up including one claiming that Jiang Jinfu has secretly returned to China.
On November 28, Jiang Jinfu Studio released a statement to explain that the actor has reached out to Japanese police to cooperate with their investigation. The studio also asked for everyone to stop spreading rumors.
The same day, Japanese news outlets began reporting about Jiang Jinfu’s surrender. He has been arrested as a suspect of a DV case committed on October 12 that resulted in serious injuries to his girlfriend who had undergone 4 weeks of treatment. The actor is seen being escorted in handcuffs. Japanese police have indicated that they will be conducting a full investigation.
Jiang Jinfu’s breakout role was his first starring role in the 2012 drama Xuan Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky headlined by Hu Ge.
Hu Ge took to weibo to talk about his former co-star. He writes, “Some things happened today and it led me to think about the person from seven years ago. During that hot summer, I saw a sunny young man. His eyes, his smile, his childish questions that elicit laughter, these are still in my memories until now. I once felt that I saw the person that I once was. Hearing today’s news, I am very said. Even if some things have happened these few years, he is always that bright young man in my heart. Okay, today I drank too much. I want to say, life’s journey is very long. A wrong is a wrong, but don’t topple over. We still need to restore the truth. I still remember the first time I saw him cry, it was because he couldn’t do an action scene well. He is like this, a kid that can’t grow up. I am not trying to defend him, I am just very sad.”

he's trash. it's rare for Hu Ge to speak up and it seems like he values his relationship with JJF but as someone who have someone i love got abused so badly by their partner, he got no sympathy from me

seriously Hu ge should just shut up,he should not be posting this in weibo knowing how big his image and fandom is in China, this will have some effect toward domestic violence view towards women. The guy is trash and you still thinks he is bright young man in your heart.

Nothing wrong with Hu Ge expressing his sadness for what seems like a terrible down fall for someone whom he was close to. He states in his post he's not defending or making excuses for JJF. But he is saddened to see his friend so down-trodden. Does JJF deserve to be punished by the law? Yes. Is it normal for people who worked with him and are close to him to express sadness and want to help him get back on his feet after he's served his time and mend his way? I don't see anything wrong with that.

Is that what he was trying to convey? I got the sadness part, but I do not know about the 'getting back after serving' thing. Is this translation fully accurate:
"A wrong is a wrong, but don't topple over. We still need to restore the truth…… He is like this, a kid that can't grow up. I am not trying to defend him, I am just very sad."
I was thinking that the results of the investigation are not known yet (although the guy admitted), so you would still need to wait for the truth to come out..
I appreciate that he is free to express his sadness (I would be sad as well if I were in his shoes) but he is, to some extent, defending the guy's actions ('a kid that cannot grow up'..) and with his large fanbase, you would get rabid immature people jumping on a bandwagon..

The issue is a public vs private statement from a celebrity with 65 million Weibo followers who welds a commensurate level of influence over the public. While it's natural for friends and family to express sadness and even support for a wrongdoer, such a public statement coming from Hu Ge (with his level of influence and goodwill) effectively gains sympathy for JJF in the eyes of many. Thus, the issue is not Hu Ge feeling sad over the situation, it's that he made a public statement (which he doesn't have to do, and likely wouldn't lessen his own level of sadness) that likely affected the domestic violence discussion.

then other actors/actress are jumping on his post to support similar sentiments. This is the kind of impact his view is. It is not innocent, he should know better. It is already pretty bad whenever there is a domestic violence issue popping up, "there got to be a reason, what is the truth here? she probably deserve it, etc" and he just somehow validates that by asking for the truth to be restore
Anonymous
There is no excuse in the world to defend JJF. He will get what he deserve. I am reading HuGe messages differently. Sounds like he is in disbelief a young innocent boy he once knew would turn out this way. "we still need to restore the truth" meaning what lead him to become this way? Hu Ge maybe a celebrity but he is still human. I don't see anything wrong with expressing his sadness either. Not his fault there are immature fans.
Anonymous
Any person that is close to the abuser or victim will tend to sympathize with the person they're closest to. I do agree that maybe Hu Ge shouldn't have said anything at the moment considering his influence and reputation, but he's not prohibited from expressing his feelings/sadness either. I don't condone JJF abusing his now ex-girlfriend, but I don't think there was anything wrong with Hu Ge expressing his sadness over his long time friend's current situation. I believe he's just in a state of shock as any person would be, to be surprise to hear such news about their friend whom they never thought would ever behave in such a way. Each person will interpret his words differently. It's up to the reader to decide whether they want to sympathize with JJF just because they read Hu Ge's post. In the end it'll be their problem. At least you know where you stand.

The problem is…it is a very sad case for Jiang Jinfu because although he made a grave mistake, that girl is not all clean too. Be it man or woman, this can possibly a case where a woman abuse a man too, if he were to make her angry to a certain degree.
Hu Ge is speaking from the point of view as a friend who knows the guy. Jiang Jinfu is not a person who abuse women regularly, he seemed to be angered to the point of being unable to control himself. That's why it's sympathetical. And because that lady is so damn shady, to be honest his case deserve more investigations because it sounds like she's making things up. All the rumors flying everywhere are the things she said, but there wasn't really any clear investigations.

Tangren former and current artists seem to have a good relationship. Hu Ge, Guli Nazha, Lin Gengxin and Sun Yizhou have all stepped up to speak up for him. While I admire their bond, it seems like they are doing more harm than good. Cnetz are raging right now.
Anonymous
JJF actually knocked off the girl's teeth and asked if he can keep them as his trophy. He beat her so much that she was in hospital for 1.5 months, perhaps a miscarriage as well. The Japanese police investigating was angry because his lawyer was misguiding not only them but whole of China. After absconding for a long time, he admitted guilty. After everything, whoever Hu Ge or his troupe of cronies supporting him are implicit in this as well. You really never know how a man will turn out. The so called reputed actors are rather pretenders using women as cash machines and abusing them behind the veil.
Protect yourself, women.

Super disappointed in these artists. Very ambiguous post making a pity party for Jiang Jinfu. I am sorry, but I have no pity for a man that beats a girl up. I am really annoyed at people making it seem like it is her fault she almost got beaten to death. Like she deserved it. Nope. Jiang Jinfu is the one with the problem. I dont care what anyone did to you, no excuses for hitting them. He abused her for days. And it is super sad that these celebrities are making a pity party for him instead of bringing light to domestic abuse. What message is this sending out? That women who get hit by their bf deserved it? That men who abused women just made a mistake but they are a good person and should be lightly forgiven? The whole I wonder what she did to get hit mentality needs to change. No one does anything to get hit. These men have issues that they take out on someone weaker and they are just looking for excuses to release their anger. If you are a victim of domestic abuse, don't think you did something wrong. The only person that did something wrong is the person hitting you.

even if the girl is shady, did she deserve to get beaten? no, he knocked her teeth out and she was hospitalized for a long time. there are pics of her bruises and he admitted it. yet people like you still doubt her. if she lies, then he can sue her and let them investigate. no matter what she did, he shouldnt lay his hand on her. period. you sound like victim blaming rn. if he's innocent, let tem investigate. but he also admitted it himself

what happen to the rumors that she is Mafia related? Who knows if there are chances he turn himself in because he didn't want her gangs to implicate his family and friends? I think the compromising with police is for going through an investigation? He is complying with them nicely, is he confident some light will shed through for his side of the story??
I am not trying to support JJF. But, I don't know the whole story well enough. Truth, that is the big matter right now.
– Is it true if he did what she claimed? If yes then of course he's trash, but what are the evidence? Turning himself in does not conclude everything yet.
– And, there is also even the possibility that, yes it is true he did what she said, but was it because she purposely lured him into it in order receive some monetary gain? Are there evidence that getting bruised and having miscarriage mean nothing to her, have she'd done those things before? Just stating the possibilities. And this part can be the tricky thing, because people can make use of people's vulnerability and the loop hole in justice system. You trick another person to harm others by making them humanly angry so that person can get arrested for the deed they caused. It's not a new story, happens everyday. The killer and the person who tricked you to kill both committed the same crime, but with the tricker having not kill anyone with their bare hands they can get away because all the evidences are only in their mind playing schemes.
– Are her long term abused results proved by doctors? I cannot support people be it man or woman by just the words they say. I need records.
I cannot imagine a woman not beating up a guy too if he cheated very very badly. Not that I am not trying to support women. I know domestic abuse is terrible and wrong. But if a woman or man cheated, she or he is not asking for trouble? That trouble can mean anything, getting beat up, or even getting killed. I'm not saying he's doing the right thing or people should do what he's doing, support him, etc. whatever bs you're all thinking…I am saying, with her making him that angry, it is 10x's harder for anybody to just do nothing about it at all. Most likely, of course people will take such action like JJF, not because it's what people should do, but because restraining oneself can be hard! It's a human vulnerability. Especially when anger fills up to a certain degree. If you heat the water then of course it will just boil. That's nature. Can you heat water at very high temperature and ask it not to boil? If somebody anger you by using your biggest weakness, will you sit still? Will you be able to do what you should do and don't do what you should not do?

The only justifiable beat down is.. If she cut of his penis while he was sleeping.

Anonymous 9.a
I know it's important to stand up for women because they are weaker, but we cannot go to the extreme. How likely do you think people will stand up for a man if he cheats, and his woman cut off his penis? What we will all say is, that cheating ass deserves it very much! Very true! We would laugh about it too actually.
I really don't think anyone would say, "no matter what, he doesn't deserve to be abused." Of course he very much deserves it, although the woman will bear consequences like facing jail time the community will still believe she did the right thing, we will feel very satisfy by her braveness.
But when women cheat, a finger must not be lay on them. The man got cheated on, beats her up, goes to jail, no sympathy on him and gets hated from all directions. Where is the equality between men and women now? I say, if she really did not provoke him and he beats her up, then YES it's totally his fault. He is violent and should face the jail. Sorry to say she deserves it if she actually provoked him to hit her, only saying IF she really did it, then of course, you get what you "asked." We don't know the truth yet, I hope she did not lie and get justice out of this if he is really truly a trashy ass.

Wow.
Anonymous 9.b and everyone, it's never on to be physically violent, mmkay?
Whoever cheated on who or whoever does whatever on who, provoked or not provoked you always have the option to walk away and not resort to being physically violent. I admit there might be cases where you can't walk away, but they are the exceptions.
Anyway, these are all conjectures.
I read Hu Ge's statement (the English translation of it) as someone who's a 'big brother' seeing a 'younger brother' who went astray. I don't know what other actress/actors ended up doing, that's on them.
In any cases, both the abused and abuser tends to need rehabilitation as they are (generally) both victims. The rare exception is when they are repeat offenders and/or are psychopaths.
Let the authorities do their jobs and for now let's move on to more actionable things.

wtf Anon 9.b, no one "asked" to be beaten. it's like you're saying rape victims "asked" for it cause they wear revealing clothes, the old sexist argument that justify violence when the other person did something when in fact NOTHING asks for violence. if you arent capable of solving problems normally like a human being then you're the problem. we dont stand up for women cause they're weak (hah another sexist idea) but because they're underrepresented and continously got blamed on when they're the victim (exactly what you're doing here). no one deserves to be abused wtf no one said when a woman cheat, a finger must not be laid on them. cheaters are trash, man or woman. but you don beat them cause they cheat. you divorce, go to court, go your own way. "where is the equality between men and women?" it cant exist cause of people like you who like to blame the victim and go around saying people deserve to be abused and beaten base on their action. that's sexist and misogynistic. i saw this another day "even when a woman is naked and walk in front of you, you have no right to grab or touch her". you're disgusting. you said we dont know the truth but already speculate the woman "asked for it". people like you is what's wrong with the world. my cousin got beaten up cause she dined out with a client which is what her job entails, but her asshole husband thought she cheated.did she ask for it? no she did not. abusers are trash, and people who defend them are trash too, like you.

it is a sad thing for a person to commit crimes because you cannot escape karma. even law can let you go, people can forgive you, but karma will always ask for retribution. so yes, i agree with hu ge. it is a "sad" thing for a person who cannot differ right or wrong, cannot control himself that eventually commit crimes. as for the victim, it's also a sad thing to see love turns to violence. in the end all actions bare consequences. may everyone could learn from this case and be smarter, wiser.

Anon 9.C, Take a look at yourself, you cannot even control your anger and blame all these crazy shitz at me. Because of your obsessive feminist worship, you wouldn't admit JJF could have possibly been anger to death. You think it's so easy to control anger, look at yourself. Trying to tell others to do what you yourself cannot even do, what a hypocrite. AGAIN, we don't even know the real case yet for JJF. Cheating your partner to get hit is so different from wearing revealing clothes to get rape. Clear your bias mind straight. Totally different situations. Your cousin got hit, totally different situation too, her husband is an ass hoe but JJF case has monetary and public attention involved that require investigations. Abusers do not have to be done physically only, your words are abusive, you are the real trash.
I think I explain it clear enough. I DID NOT SAY ABUSING IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, I SAID IT IS HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING ESP. WHEN PROVOKED. Instead of reading carefully all you do is blame me with all the anger want to throw at me, take a look at how different you are from your cousin's husband throwing his stupid anger at others? Without even understanding what others are saying. BTW, why are women underrepresented? Because they are weak in nature, geez stop saying all these stupid stuff that makes you sound so dumb af. Women being underrepresented is only another sexist idea. Do you even know what's wrong with the world? Do you know that husband kill wife, and wife kill husband everyday? This is not a world of husband kill wife only, FYI. Seriously, stop living in a feminism world. Don't act as if Meninism do not exist, they exist because they get trashed too. Violence happen because people cannot control their anger, women can get anger to death and kill men too. The problem is anger, and how that happen is through somebody's bad decision of provoking others.
"even when a woman is naked and walk in front of you, you have no right to grab or touch her". What is your definition of naked here? You mean completely naked? Bikini is still not naked to me…WOW unless she is naked accidentally, it was by force…or if she is mentally unstable and does not understand what is going on, then I see why it is NOT her fault if she gets grabbed. Otherwise, what is she expecting to get out of that? She's expecting that everybody in this world is so nice and clean? There are tons of nasty dudes out there, why wouldn't a bad guy grab you under the excuse of you purposely being naked in front of them? With that knowledge and you still do it, aren't you looking for trouble in the first place? It's just like locking your car, you purposely left your car's door wide open with keys inside and you expect people not to steal it? — I'll repeat myself for people like you, accidental that's understandable. But ON PURPOSE…come on. What justification are you trying to make here? Any normal women should understand what I'm saying, unless they are the stupid trashy kinds trying to get attention by going naked on purpose when knowing she's jeopardizing herself into (bad) situations — it would be like, not actually bad to them bc it really seems like they're hoping for it. Next thing, even if she tells a guy to touch her with her consent, at the end maybe she will even frame him of molesting. Women need to know their limits too, normally even men do not go around naked. In fact, it's illegal, why do you think it is? Don't come framing me supporting sexual harassment and abusers, I rather educate people on what they can avoid instead of allowing things to happen, and then, just go around and tell victims "it's ok" "it's not your fault" when they could've had the CHANCE to be educated to avoid things instead. Be smarter. And even no matter how smart you are, never know what can happen, that's why people need to stop spoiling themselves and learn their limits. Stop going to an extreme with 1 crazy worship.

Stop with all the victim-blaming crap. No one deserves to be abused, especially in a case of gender-based violence where he exerted his power over her as a male. I love Hu Ge but I'm also deeply disappointed with his post. Perhaps he's shocked that Jiang Jinfu's actions but he still sympathized for Jiang Jinfu, saying he's kid who just couldn't grow up. No, he's a grown man who made these choices himself. He chose to be an abuser, he deserves no remorse.

You don't love Hu Ge, you just the same as that Japanese AV, so You certainly lie loud JJF is guity. Jiang Jinfu is foolish, but that's nothing to do with Hu Ge Weibo. In stead Hu Ge is totally right to point out: stand truth! Stands Law! Well, you have a freedom to slander LAW, and someone on top will definitely 'reward' you with the guilty play for crimes you are framed.

just admit you like to victim blame and go. i feel sorry for those who are around you since you seem to be able to justify violence with any available excuse. it's always people like you who crawl out to defend abusers and act all high and almighty while low key victim blaming and justify raping. you dont understand what consent is. not being able to control your anger is your problem, not the victim. you're asking for it, what do you expect, etc are what make rape culture and victim blaming excist. you educate people bu victim blaming and making justifications for rape? i'll pass on that education then. i'm smart enough to know not to blame victims. the last sentence can be applied to you, take it and leave. i hope you or any of your loved one wont go through this. at that point, see if you still want to say the same thing " they did X so they deserve to get beaten" "they wore Y so what did they expect to happen beside getting raped" "they didnt wear Z so they asked for it" reading your comment disgusts me. bye

Hu Ge released a statement through his lawyers threatening legal action against the backlash hes getting. As a public figure if he wasnt prepared for the backlash he should have never got himself involved. He should have been prepared that people will judge his statement and not just agree with him. I lost respect for him for releasing that statement because if hes a friend he could have privately reached out. Instead he had to make a public spectacle. Now I'm even more disappointed that he wants to take legal action against those that judge him. He has the right to opinion but not the right to be judged?

Nobody is siding with JJF because of Hu Ge statement. I am not a Hu Ge fan but now I am totally feeling why he should take legal actions, Hu Ge said "I am not trying to defend him, I am just very sad." People are just sensitive as hell. Of course Hu Ge is not prepared for the backlash because what he said was not even meant for supporting JJF, people just want to twist words around.
Just like Hu Ge, I said many times I DID NOT SAY JJF IS RIGHT, HE COULD'VE BEEN PROVOKED TO THE POINT OF UNABLING TO CONTROL HIMSELF my goodness. All people would understand from it is that I am defending JJF, it's been the third or fourth time some idiots would just not understand. Do they not know how to read? Or are they just such extreme feminists?

You're just doing your stupid framing again…Are you even able to prove where I frame victims? The victim framing is you, trying to support anything female related only. Is JJF case overly investigated yet? Is there still at least 10% he's part of being a victim too? Yes, and all you want to claim is he is wrong because he is a male. I have only said that people should know how to avoid things especially during this time of age already, we're not in the stone age anymore alright. I will consider you stupid but not mentally ill, meaning that you are NOT qualify to justify yourself being assault if you PURPOSELY walk out the street naked and got grabbed. In fact, let you know that the good people in society today seeing you walk naked like that, we would feel so disgusted by you and don't even want to see your nasty body. Who is going to be as stupid as you to not know how badly you wish to be grabbed? It is only those psycho serial killers who would grab you. You're putting yourself out there ON PURPOSE, and we WILL NOT blame you being a victim to make you feel better, but the fact that you purposely put yourself out there is undeniable. Stop thinking you are a woman and you do stupid stuff you should be let off because of your gender. Stupid does not equal mentally ill…wait you might be too stupid to distinguish that…
If a man walk in front of you naked, don't go tell anyone you are so offended by him… unless you are so trashy and wants to do it with any strangers out there. You should be sorry for yourself instead for being that trashy, and I feel worse for those around you. You only know how to frame others about the things that you hate about yourself. I have not frame any victim, I am trying to support both victims, saying that although one is wrong the other is also wrong, but with your extreme feminism mind you wouldn't allow that. When you are unpleased, you frame and throw everything untruthful at me, very shameless. Please don't ever tell others to copy you, it's disgusting and undereducated.
