Meinian Onehealth Healthcare Holdings Co.,Ltd. (002044.SZ) is a privately-owned listed company from Zhejiang with a market capitalization exceeding 20 billion yuan. On July 23, 2025, the China Judgments Online website published a first-instance civil judgment regarding post-divorce property disputes involving a Meinian Onehealth employee and his ex-wife's debt collection case.
The case involves plaintiff Xiao (female, born September 1976, Han ethnicity, residing in Nan'an District, Chongqing) and defendant Chen 1 (male, born March 1969, Han ethnicity, residing in Jiangbei District, Chongqing), along with defendant Chen 2 (male, born January 1987) and third party Chen 3 (male, born February 2000).
According to the judgment, Xiao and Chen 1 were formerly married and divorced by mutual agreement on October 31, 2017. Their divorce agreement stipulated that Chen 1's existing employee stock holdings in Meinian Onehealth Healthcare Holdings Co.,Ltd. would be split equally between both parties, with Chen 1 required to transfer half of the shares to Xiao after the China Securities Regulatory Commission's prescribed lock-up period expired.
Following the divorce, Chen 1 sold his Meinian Onehealth shares between May 2018 and June 2020. On June 10, 2020, Xiao filed a lawsuit with Yubei District People's Court in Chongqing, demanding division of the proceeds from Chen 1's share sales. The court ruled that Chen 1 should pay Xiao 8.08125405 million yuan plus interest on capital occupation. Based on this judgment, the total stock sale proceeds were estimated to be approximately 16 million yuan.
Chen 1 appealed to Chongqing First Intermediate People's Court, which issued a civil mediation agreement determining that Chen 1 should pay Xiao 7.7 million yuan. When Chen 1 failed to fulfill this payment obligation, Xiao applied for enforcement. On September 20, 2022, Yubei District People's Court issued an enforcement ruling stating that while Chen 1 owed 2 million yuan plus interest, only 4,510.42 yuan was recovered due to lack of executable assets, and the enforcement procedure was terminated.
Over a year later, Xiao discovered Chen 1's alleged deliberate debt evasion behavior. In April 2024, she found that on October 21, 2020, Chen 1 had transferred 76,875 yuan to Chen 2 through a bank account belonging to his son Chen 3, with no evidence of Chen 2 returning the funds. Xiao argued that Chen 2 had no legitimate claim against Chen 1, and that this transfer was an attempt to evade enforcement by gratuitously transferring assets, thereby affecting her debt recovery.
Xiao stated that as of April 19, 2024, over 3 million yuan in debt remained uncollected, while Chen 1 had no remaining assets and enforcement procedures had been terminated. To protect her legal rights, she filed a lawsuit requesting: 1) revocation of Chen 1's gratuitous transfer of 76,875 yuan to Chen 2; 2) Chen 2's return of the 76,875 yuan to Chen 1.
Neither Chen 1 nor Chen 2 appeared in court or provided defense statements. Third party Chen 3 testified that he was the son of Xiao and Chen 1. In 2019, Chen 1 requested Chen 3 to open a new bank account at Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, with Chen 1 retaining possession and use of the card. Due to disputes between his parents, Chen 3 later canceled the account in 2024 at Xiao's request.
Jiangbei District People's Court ruled that Chen 1's October 21, 2020 transfer of 76,875 yuan to Chen 2 through Chen 3's account, without evidence of the legal relationship underlying this transfer, constituted gratuitous transfer. This action reduced Chen 1's liable assets, decreased his debt-paying capacity, and significantly affected Xiao's debt realization.
On April 11, 2025, Jiangbei District People's Court issued a first-instance judgment: 1) revoking Chen 1's transfer of 76,875 yuan to Chen 2 on October 21, 2020; 2) requiring Chen 2 to return the 76,875 yuan to Chen 1 within ten days of the judgment taking effect.
