Jay Chou sometimes take up to 12 painkillers a day

Alfa Record’s General Manager, Yang Jun Rong, has expressed outrage and injustice over recent reports of Jay Chou falsifying his medical data in order to evade military service. “No one understands the pain that Jay goes through every time there is an attack, sometimes, when it is really serious, he will even take up to 12 pain-killers in a day before he goes on stage to perform.”  

Alfa Record’s General Manager Yang Jun Rong has also said that he will take lawful action against the papers that published that story of Jay faking illness to evade service. He said, “Jay is an important personnel (of the company) and is a superstar, there wouldn’t be a problem of going for a medical re-examination, but to wrongfully frame him, is an insult.”  

Yang Jun Rong also said that Jay has received a military letter back in 1987 informing him of the illness (acute back pain), “If that medical record was falsified, why wait till now for a re-examination?” Since Jay was able to provide the letter of excuse from service and the medical record as well as doctor's examination report, which were very well prepared and authentic, the appointed attorney has expressed that there has been no such request from the military for a re-examination.  

As Jay is a very famous singer, trouble and accusations follows him everywhere, even the illness that he suffers from is being scrutinized. Yang Jun Rong expressed his care and concern for Pres Chou, “Actually, he has been suffering from the painful attacks these few years. This is something nobody can understand. From this incident, I hope everyone can see and understand the pain and sacrifice that Jay has made is not easy.”  

Alfa Music’s Media Relations Manager, Zhang Lan Yun said, “This illness is not a form of paralysis, the doctor has suggested for Jay to continue working out his body as the best form of recovery. Jay has a strong character, every time he suffers from an attack, he will take the pain killers and endure the pain. He has been visiting the doctor every once in a while to get the necessary medications and pain killers. The medical records are rather complete and authentic.” 

Yesterday, the record company has reviewed the documents from the medical examination that Jay took in Xin Guang Hospital in 1987, including documents on his white blood cell count the inflammation index, etc. and finally the medical slip that stated the medical condition that Jay suffers from (acute back pain) and the military letter in 1988 that stated that Jay is excused from service.
