Trinh Sang is 'in dire straits' with a debt of more than 10,000 billion, CS is 'in trouble' after 4 years of 'blockade'

More than four years have passed since being completely banned from the Chinese entertainment market, Trinh Sang's life has taken a completely opposite direction compared to the peak of her fame.

This once-popular star, who now lives in the US, not only has to face the reality of having to rely on her parents' meager pension, but also has to endure a huge financial burden. According to Sohu, the total debt that Zheng Shuang has to bear is estimated to be a staggering 2.9 billion yuan (equivalent to about 10,730 billion VND). This debt mainly comes from paying back salaries and compensation for damages to film crews, as well as brands that have signed contracts with her.

The Contrast Between Illusion and Reality

The rare images shared by Trinh Sang on her personal studio partly depict her daily life and her obvious changes. Far from the glamorous, elegant image of the past, the actress of Love at First Sight appears with a simple, even tired appearance with slightly messy hair, looking like she just woke up.

However, in the photo celebrating her child's birthday, the radiant smile that radiated the genuine happiness of a mother made many fans feel heartbroken. Although the halo has faded, she still finds comfort and new focus in her role as a mother. The sharp contrast between the image of a sought-after A-list star and the image of an ordinary woman struggling with life today is a clear demonstration of the fierce fluctuations of the entertainment industry.

Tax Scandal and Endless Lawsuits

The direct cause that pushed Trinh Sang into her current difficult situation was the serious tax evasion scandal that broke out in 2021. This incident forced her to pay a total of 299 million yuan (about 1,106 billion VND) in fines and back taxes. The subsequent ban caused a series of film projects in which she participated to be stalled, leading to a wave of lawsuits demanding compensation for damages.

Among the notable lawsuits, the crew of The Secret Agents asked Zheng Shuang to pay tens of millions of yuan in compensation. In particular, the Jade Lover project filed a lawsuit, demanding the return of the initial salary of 30.5 million yuan (about 113 billion VND) along with damages of up to 60 million yuan (about 222 billion VND). These huge compensation figures are the source of the total debt of 2.9 billion yuan.

Legal Consequences and Involuntary Adaptation

Most of Zheng Shuang's assets in China have been frozen, including real estate and shares in many companies. Companies established under the names of her father and daughter have also been canceled one after another. Legally, the beauty born in 1991 has been listed as a discredited person and must be subject to sanctions according to regulations. Although she had previously publicly declared that she would "actively implement the judgments," with her current financial situation and many pending lawsuits, this promise seems too fragile.

In the US, Trinh Sang chose a life of near seclusion, spending all her time taking care of her children and trying to improve herself. She did not hire a teacher but taught herself English through software on her phone, gradually overcoming the language barrier. In addition, she also began to try her hand at producing short videos, inspired by her own stories and difficult experiences in the past, as a way to recreate and face past events.

Zheng Shuang's current miserable life is a warning about the dire consequences of wrong decisions. Once an A-list star with an astronomical salary—typically 160 million yuan (about 592 billion VND) for just 77 days of filming A Chinese Ghost Story, equivalent to 2.08 million yuan per day—this beauty used a "yin-yang contract" to inflate her income and evade taxes. Today, she faces harsh consequences, trying to study hard, take care of her children, and find a way to overcome the burden of debt, gradually adapting to life in a foreign country after losing all her glory and assets.
