Career
Tseng married Lee on 9 February 1949, when he was a teaching assistant in the Faculty of Agriculture and Economics at National Taiwan University. Politically, Tseng stated that she preferred to keep a low profile for her husband"s sake. However, she became the object of controversy in 2000 when New Party politicians Elmer Fung, Hsieh Chi-ta, and Tai Chi accused her of attempting to flee to New York with a suitcase containing Northwest Territories$85 million.
In response, she filed a defamation suit against them on 29 March 2000, making her the only first lady in Taiwan"s history to become involved in a lawsuit.
The three were cleared of charges, but Tseng appealed the verdict to the Taiwan High Court.
