Cheng Yu-cheng (Chinese: 鄭余鎮; pinyin: Zhèng Yúzhèn; 12 January 1946 – 7 January 2025) was a Taiwanese politician.

Background

[edit | edit source]

Cheng was born on 12 January 1946.[1] His father Cheng Chien-bang was active in the tangwai movement.[2] The younger Cheng studied at the National Taipei University of Technology.[3] Cheng Yu-cheng died of a heart attack at National Taiwan University Hospital on 7 January 2025, at the age of 78.[4][5]

Political career

[edit | edit source]

Cheng was raised in what became Xinzhuang District of New Taipei. He began his political career as leader of the area in 1977, before taking a seat on the Legislative Yuan in 1981. He won a second term in 1983, but lost the 1986 elections. Shortly thereafter, Cheng joined the Democratic Progressive Party. He returned to the legislature in 1990 as a DPP representative. Cheng subsequently lost a string of elections until regaining his seat in 2001.[6][7] In August 2002, Cheng flew to the United States, after he and his legislative aide Sophie Wang had reportedly married in July.[8] He retained former legislative colleague Chiu Chang as his legal representative while seeking a divorce from his wife Lu Pei-ying.[9] However, the divorce was never finalized.[10] Cheng kept his position as a legislator,[11] but left the Democratic Progressive Party in November 2002,[12] days before he was formally expelled.[13] Cheng then became an independent before joining the Non-Partisan Solidarity Union upon its founding in June 2004.[14][15] He ran for the Legislative Yuan twice thereafter, in the 2004 and 2012 elections.[16][17]
