1924, the fourth wife of the Li family gave birth to a lovely daughter. Lao Deng named the girl. Although she was born by the fourth wife, she is also a serious and lovely girl who has been loved since she was a child.
Li Wanhua was very beautiful when she came out, and even more beautiful when she was a girl. She not only has the three-dimensional appearance of westerners, but also has the charm of orientals, so people at that time often compared her with Ingrid Bergman, who was very popular at that time, and therefore had the reputation of "the first beauty in Macau Street".
If it is wrong for Li Wanhua to marry Stanley Ho, the gambling king who has died now, then she will meet the next "Stanley Ho" who will change her life. This is her life, and she can't escape it, because she was born in the Li family, and a family has a high social status.
The ancestors of the Li family are senior officials in Macao's political circles. Both Li and Jia generations participated in the compilation of Macao's first code. Li Wanhua's father was the only notary in Macau at that time, and he had frequent contacts with the Governor of Macau. The Li family's industries are also spread all over Macao and Portugal.
It can be said that a girl like Li Wanhua is "rich and beautiful" in the eyes of our generation, and there are many rich kids around her.
However, Li Wanhua did not choose others at that time, but fell in love with Mr. He, who was a refugee at that time, in his best years.
02
In fact, talking about Mr. He's refugee status may be just a mockery for us now. You know, the strength of Mr. He's family is really similar to that of Li Wanhua's family.
In Hong Kong at that time, He family was the head of four big families, and it was a noble family. Unfortunately, Mr. Stanley Ho met an unreliable father. After his father failed in the stock market, he fled to Vietnam with all his belongings to avoid debt. So his family came down, and Mr. Stanley Ho became a constantly chauffeured man.
194 1 year, in order to survive, Stanley Ho had to drop out of the University of Hong Kong and flee to Macau. It is said that he arrived in Macau with only 10 Hong Kong dollars.
Fortunately, Mr. Stanley Ho entered the then Lianchang Company with fluent English and worked there as a secretary. Later, Mr. Stanley Ho gradually became the core employee of the company with his excellent IQ and EQ.
That is, in the year when he entered Lianchang Company, Mr. Stanley met Li Wanhua's elder brother-in-law, and through the introduction of his brother-in-law, Mr. Stanley met Li Wanhua.
The love between them was love at first sight. Mr. Ho was attracted by Li Wanhua's appearance, so why didn't Li Wanhua fall into Mr. Ho's gentlemanly demeanor and shrewdness?
I would like to mention here that the face value of Mr. Stanley Ho when he was young really completely crushed the vast majority of small fresh meat in the entertainment circle. Li Wanhua is only a Sino-Portuguese hybrid, but Mr. He is a multi-ethnic hybrid of China, Britain, Judaism and Holland. He is tall, handsome and personable.
With the help of his brother-in-law, Mr. Ho began to pursue the beauty of Li Wanhua crazily. He can't speak Portuguese, so he goes to study. He even worried that the Li family would oppose their feelings. Mr. He also specially joined Portuguese nationality.
About the scene when two people fall in love, their second daughter He Chaoxian said this:
"Every day after school, my father goes to the landscape garden where my mother lives by bike for a date, and then invites her for tea and coffee on the rest day."
Although they come from a wealthy family, their love life is as simple and sweet as ordinary people.
A year later, they entered the marriage hall with the blessing of their parents. That year, she was 18 years old and he was 2 1 year old.
As for their marriage, it was a match made in heaven. In the eyes of some people at that time, the love story of Mr. He and Li Wanhua, a poor boy, meeting a rich man's daughter was just a business arrangement between their parents.
In other words, He Jia took a fancy to the political status of the Li family in Macau, and asked Mr. Stanley Ho to be the door-to-door son-in-law. The Li family naturally understood that otherwise, how could Li Wanhua be arranged to have children with his fourth wife?
03
Let alone whether Li Wanhua married Mr. Stanley Ho, as someone said at that time: she was a victim of family interests. After he married Li Wanhua, Mr. Stanley Ho's career was booming, so it can be seen that Li Wanhua is a very beautiful woman.
With the help of his wife and father-in-law, Mr. Stanley Ho's business area in Macau has been expanding continuously, and he earned the first bucket of gold in his life-HK$ 6,543.8+dividend of 0,000 in one year.
It can be said that the success of Stanley Ho's self-made career is inseparable from Li's introduction and foreshadowing.
Later, Mr. Ho's nephew Jinghong Sun commented:
"Gambling king from Li Wanhua. His father-in-law is a government notary. When he saw that Mr. He liked it, he made him a secretary and built a lot of popularity for his future inheritance. "
We often say that every successful man is inseparable from a good woman, but for Mr. He, he also wants to thank his father-in-law. He is not greedy for the poor and snobbish for the rich.
After five years of marriage, their love came to fruition. He gave birth to his first child, the eldest daughter He, followed by his eldest son He Youguang, followed by his two daughters, He Chaoxian and He.
Here, I want to mention the eldest daughter He and the eldest son He Youguang respectively. Since other children were born in Li Wanhua after losing Mr. He's favor, their family status is basically gone, so I simply won't mention it.
The appearance of these two children can be said to have completely copied Mr. He's excellent genes. The eldest daughter's facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and the outline is round and full. The eldest son is completely like a delicate doll.
For this reason, Li Wanhua can often be seen taking these two children out to participate in various celebrity gathering occasions.
There is a folk saying: some people are born with the blessing of eating, which is thoroughly verified by the words of the eldest daughter He.
As their eldest daughter, a lovely girl born with a golden key studied law in England and then transferred to Switzerland to study. She is not only talented in painting, but also knows a little about antiques. She once opened an antique shop in partnership with Guo Jingjing's father-in-law, Huo Zhenting, and even learned Portuguese bullfighting.
His talent in business is even more outstanding. Not long after he returned to Hong Kong to help his father take care of the company affairs, he was on the list of "50 business women in the world" selected by Fortune magazine at that time.
Such a person was a celebrity in Macao at that time, both in the art world and in the business world.
As the eldest son, He Youguang was deeply loved by Stanley Ho, the gambling king, and was trained as a career successor.

Back to Li Wanhua's life track, life in Li Wanhua is very leisurely at this time, her husband's career is in full swing, and her children are lovely. Ordinary life is nothing more than drinking tea and chatting with others and occasionally playing cards.
At this time, Li Wanhua never imagined that her happy time would be so short, and fate would be so cruel to abandon her, a woman who has done good deeds all her life. Instead of caring about her, she intensified.
At the age of 33, she suddenly became seriously ill, but after seeing a famous doctor, the treatment was still ineffective. At the doctor's suggestion, she began to take a lot of drugs. At the same time, the side effects of the drug changed her appearance, and her weight dropped from 1 15 kg to about 70 kg. There is no sign of money and generosity in the whole person.
During these days when she was ill in bed, Mr. He, as her husband, often took time to visit her in the hospital at first, trying to make her happy, but later, he rarely appeared in Li Wanhua's ward.
At that time, Li Wanhua didn't even think that her husband didn't visit him in the hospital because he was busy with another woman, not his career. That year, Stanley Ho married his second wife, Lan Qiongying.
Facing her husband's behavior, Li Wanhua was very sad, but did she choose to resist? She was seriously ill in bed, and her only father (Li Deng) died, so she had to choose to accept it, just like the marriage arranged by her family when/kloc-0 was 8 years old.
In a blink of an eye, his eldest daughter, Ying Chao, is 23 years old. This year, Li Wanhua finally ushered in a happy event-the eldest daughter got married. The son-in-law is Xiao Baicheng, the son of Xiaoming, the funeral king of Hong Kong. Although her daughter's marriage has its own shadow: the marriage of two enterprises, Li Wanhua is still happy to see her daughter get married.
After the eldest daughter got married, Li Wanhua went back to Portugal to recuperate and live in seclusion, but God didn't choose to be kind to her because of her undisputed generosity. She suffered a car accident in Lisbon due to illness, and her brain was seriously damaged. When she woke up after a month in a coma, she didn't remember anything and her actions became slow.
It never rains but it pours. Such an accident happened to his beloved son He Youguang. His unexpected death was a great blow to both Mr. Ho and Li Wanhua.
Mr. Stanley Ho was deeply grieved, and his physical and mental state went from bad to worse.
However, God's harm to Li Wanhua has not stopped. Under the double blow of divorce and the loss of her younger brother, the eldest daughter He had mental problems and became a loner. After she died of illness, she didn't even have a tombstone.
The lives of the other two daughters are completely gone.
05
Li Wanhua, who was well-born and pampered, married Stanley Ho, the gambling king who had nothing at that time, and started from scratch with him. As a result, his life is so miserable, and his children have no good end. Such an ending can't help but make people feel distressed and sigh.
But for such an ending, is it really Li Wanhua's fault? In my opinion, in the causal cycle, every cause has its consequences. Li Wanhua will definitely face intrigue, intrigue and even "murder" when she marries a rich family with a wealth of 500 billion yuan.
In fact, many women who marry rich people lead unhappy and miserable lives after marriage.
For example, Tamia Liu, in order to pay off her bankrupt husband's debts, chose to come back, such as Crystal and Alyssa Chia, who had a heated discussion and finally got a dismal divorce. Another example is Wu Peici, who fought for the second child and the third child and tried his best to run on the road to the top.
Therefore, in many cases, it is really not that easy to play the role of Guan Tai. Facing the vacillation of fate, all we can do is to cherish the present and enjoy every minute of the present life without regret.
