Rene Hou, who has appeared in many Taiwanese-language TV dramas, is best known for her role in “Fiery Thunderbolt.” Hou may look tough, but she burst into tears recently while filming an episode of the Public Television Service (PTS) TV show Mr. Brain. She revealed that she suffers from an inherited eye condition, “Retinitis Pigmentosa” (RP), which she got from her father.
RP is a retinal disorder, night blindness being one of the more conspicuous symptoms. “You never know when you will start losing your eyesight,” Hou said on the show, speaking of the pressure she was under. She has been dating actor Louis Hsiao for 15 years, but they are still not married because of her experience looking after her father. “It would be tough for Louis to have to take care of someone with this condition,” she said.

The court, acknowledging her difficult situation, sentenced her to two-and-a-half years in prison while recommending a presidential pardon. This rare judicial recommendation drew a complicated social response. Supporters argue that the mother’s half-century of caregiving renders her deserving of compassion instead of incarceration, believing that allowing her to live her final years in dignity and
