In its latest issue, Next Magazine claimed to have obtained letters written by Lien Hui-hsin (???), Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Lien Chan's (??) eldest daughter, documenting domestic violence at home.

The magazine and the KMT argued yesterday over the penmanship in the letters, addressed to Lien Hui-hsin's childhood friend.

In the issue, which hit newsstands yesterday, the magazine said it obtained letters written in English by Lien Hui-hsin between 1979 and 1983 in which she mentioned that her father beat her mother, Lien Fang Yu (???).
