Japanese table tennis star Fukuhara Ai has focused her career on mainland China in recent years. When she and her ex-husband Jiang Hongjie were involved in a divorce in 2021, she was kicked out and her relationship with her mother Chiyo Fukuhara hit rock bottom, and she was even refused to live with her. However, she recently updated her Weibo, showing off the red bean soup she cooked by herself, and even proactively mentioned her mother, breaking the rumors that "mother and daughter don't get along."

Fukuhara Ai was exposed by the Japanese media "Women's Own" in 2021. Her mother returned to her hometown in Sendai, Japan from Taiwan, China, under the escort of Jiang Hongjie's family. She once proposed to live together, but was decisively rejected. Fukuhara Ai also mentioned in an interview, "After my mother returned to Japan from Taiwan, she chose to live in Sendai. My mother and I never saw each other again (after returning to Japan), nor did we live together." It wasn't until she posted a video on Weibo, revealing that she had customized an oval billiards table for her mother who had mobility issues, that it was reported that the mother and daughter met again.

After three years, Fukuhara Ai posted a photo of red bean soup on Weibo on the 15th, saying that she was lucky that her mother taught her to cook when she was a child, and mentioned her mother's physical condition, "Now my mother is not I can't stand in the kitchen for too long, so I'll cook now." She revealed that she can cook whatever her mother likes to eat, and her mother also orders fried eggplant, stewed eggplant and red bean soup.
