Jay Chou is from China, and his mother Ye Huimei is from China. Since she is a China citizen, how can she be Japanese? Since 2006, the online forum broke the news that "Jay Chou told the Japanese media that he was not from China", and immediately launched an "indiscriminate bombing" on the Internet, with the title "Jay Chou claimed to be a descendant of Japan" as an amplification.
As we all know, Jay Chou's most persistent musical style in the past ten years is "Chinese style". From chrysanthemum stage to blue-and-white porcelain to fireworks, Jay Chou has always believed in the irreplaceable charm and influence of Chinese music, and Chinese style music is also Jay Chou's first choice in major performances.
Even in the face of the increasingly crazy idolization of Korean Wave, Jay Chou once stood up and called on everyone to support Chinese music more, so as not to let the foreign Korean Wave surpass the Chinese people's love for their Chinese music.
Jay Chou has said many times that it is his dream and wish to let foreigners know more about China culture and spread China music better through music. These points alone are enough to break the rumor of "Japanese descendants" on the Internet.
