Judge Chen Hsiu-mei remembers a divorce case early in her career, in which the wife tearfully told the court how wronged she felt. As she spoke, the husband surprised Chen by suddenly yelling to the wife, "Don't think that the judge is going to sympathize with you just because she's a woman!"
陳秀美回憶，早年她有次審理離婚案件，太太當庭哭訴委屈，她正心有戚戚焉時，丈夫突然打斷罵道，「你不要以為法官大人是女人，就會同情你！」
