She was a hot star in Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, and was included in the Shaw Brothers "New Twelve Golden Hairpins" list, but at the height of her career, she married Zhao Shiguang, the second-generation helmsman of Hong Kong's "Boat King".
He Lili was praised by Cai Lan as a "diamond beauty."
However, although she has returned to her family, she is still the "queen of topics". The wonderful story of her "fighting" with her husband and lovers often makes the front page of the news.
Even her youngest son once said something like this:
My classmates didn't know who my dad was, but they knew my mom, He Lili. ”
7 years ago, her husband passed away, and she monopolized 7 billion property, but her lovers didn't get a penny. This news was a sensation at the time, and it is still as hot as it was back then.
People say that she has this wealth and wealth, relying on forbearance.
However, when you get closer to her legendary life, you will find that it is not so simple.
01 Not to be left behind, the "shadow first".
He Lili has taken a leave of absence!”
A piece of bad news spread throughout Taipei Girls' High School.
He Lili's classmates gathered together and talked about it vigorously.
A classmate nicknamed "Movie Fan" shouted, "I know!".He Lili is going to be a movie star, let's wait to see her movie!”
So the students said that this was good news.
In their opinion, He Lili is beautiful and has a good figure, if she is a star, she will definitely become a big star.
He Lili, a girl who migrated to Taiwan Province from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province as a child, did attract the attention of director Yuan Qiufeng because of her unique appearance. At the age of 18, she participated in the filming of the film "Mountain Song Marriage" produced by Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Company in Taiwan.
After the film was released in early 1965, it was highly praised, saying that its "eyes are deep, and the eyebrows reveal a charming temperament and girlish sweetness." ”
Subsequently, in the work "Song of Orchid Island", she played a lively supporting actress named "Dana". After that, Shaw Brothers sent her an invitation to go to Hong Kong to develop her business.
Therefore, she chose to take a leave of absence from school, which is to show her strong determination and perseverance for the film industry.
So, Ho Lily went to Hong Kong with her mother, and she became the lead actor of Shaw Brothers, while her mother served as her agent.
At that time, Shaw Brothers Pictures had a large number of beauties who competed to show their charms. Initially, He Lili only played supporting roles in a few films, which did not impress the audience.
However, with her remarkable courage and courage, she quickly rose to prominence.
In the movie "Wen Suchen", she bravely played the role of "Lin Hongyu" that other actresses did not dare to try, and showed her charming fragrant shoulders and beautiful back in the film.
After the release of this movie, she quickly rose to prominence, and everyone remembered this beautiful woman with a graceful figure and named her "Prince Glamorous".
With the gradual expansion of fame, the invitation of the heroine also came like a tide. She quickly rose to prominence and became a high-profile star in Shaw Brothers' "New Twelve Golden Hairpins".
Her career is in full swing, and love has also ushered in its spring, and she is deeply in love with Shaw Brothers actor Zhang Chong, who is 16 years older than her.
Under the lens of **, the two did not hide the deep feelings in each other's eyes, and ** speculated that their good times were coming.
In the face of **'s response, He Mu said: "I don't dislike Lili's relationship with Zhang Chong, but considering that she is still young, she values her career more. She does not plan to marry until she is 25 years old. ”
The clear-headed He Lili smiled and said that she completely obeyed her mother's orders. Soon after, Zhang Chong gradually disappeared from her emotional world.
The Shaw Brothers admired He Lili, a person who was serious about her career, and had a special liking for her.
In terms of clothing, makeup and hairstyle, she even seemed out of reach in comparison with actresses, so her colleagues gave her the nickname "Shadow First".
She herself is not willing to lag behind others in anything.
In Shaw Brothers, the competition between her and Li Jing, who is respectfully known as the "Doll Queen", is particularly fierce. Hong Kong's ** once jokingly described the "conflict" between the two, like a three-year-old child's absurdity.
If one of the parties renovates the room, the other party will immediately follow up and may have to pay more than the other party. If one of the parties buys a new car, the other party will also not hesitate to ** the old car in exchange for a new one.
*Interesting experiences of their marriage in the "competition" have also been reported before.
During the filming of the movie "Fourteen Heroes", they felt a little uncomfortable because of the topic of "boyfriend". Therefore, He Lili and Li Jing made a bet, and the bet was: whoever enters the palace of marriage first, she will lose 1,000 yuan to the other party.
In order to confirm that this was not child's play, she specially invited Ling Bo, who was with her crew, as a witness.
He Lili is undoubtedly the "shadow first", she bravely walked in front of the actress Li Jing and took the lead in putting on a wedding dress for her.
This time, she lost the game, but she was very happy.
02 A short happy time.
On October 4, 1973, 27-year-old He Lili wore a special dress worth 40,000 Hong Kong dollars with a bright smile on her face, and entered the sacred hall of marriage with Zhao Shiguang.
At this moment, she is like a brilliant diamond, radiant. She starred in China's first lesbian film, Ainu, which received high praise in international film magazines and was named one of the top 10 global honors of the year by film critics.
The news that He Lili "married" Zhao Shiguang has aroused widespread attention and discussion in Hong Kong.
Zhao Shiguang is a wealthy man, he owns nearly 70 ships, is the fourth son of Zhao Congyan, one of Hong Kong's four "ship kings", and the heir to the family Huaguang Shipbuilding.
Rumor has it that when the two first met, He Lili mistook Zhao Shiguang for an ordinary rich kid and tore the business card he handed her to shreds on the spot.
Although Zhao Shiguang has never been rejected, his appreciation for her is even deeper. Zhao Shiguang called her ** for three months in a row, apologizing for his previous sudden behavior.
Later, Zhao Shiguang often gave He Lili some valuable gifts, and he was even willing to be her coachman every day, help her commute to work, and cook soup for her by himself.
Although He Lili and Zhang Chong were deeply in love at the time, Zhao Shiguang still pursued them unrelentingly, which lasted for nearly 8 years and proposed to them three times, but never received any response.
However, what really touched He Lili's heartstrings was a trivial thing in her life.
That day, she went out to participate in social activities, got drunk, and vomited on Zhao Shiguang, but Zhao Shiguang not only did not get angry, but took the initiative to send her home.
Zhao Shiguang was on the road, driving with one hand while the other supported her head, and although his hands felt numb, he did not change his posture just to ensure that she could sleep comfortably.
In this complex and volatile environment, He Lili has experienced nearly ten years of ups and downs, and although she has gained both fame and wealth, her physical strength and energy have been exhausted.
In her eyes, Zhao Shiguang is like a different wealthy man, his emotions are deep and gentle, and he is a warm haven she longs for.
After He Lili's careful consideration, she confidently entered the palace of marriage.
She also plans to take care of her husband and educate the children at home after giving birth. She aspires to have four children, and her dream is to have three boys and a girl. Since the husband has achieved great success in his career, the number of his children has increased accordingly.
After getting married, director Bao Xueli invited He Lili as a special guest to play the famous prostitute "Little Phoenix Fairy" in the movie "Five Great Men".
He Lili considered that she would return home and no longer participate in the filming of the film in the future, so she happily agreed to star.
In this movie, she falls in love with General Cai Ng, and General Choi also buys a property for her. In a fit of rage, Mrs. Cai attacked her, causing the relationship between the two to break down. In desperation, Mrs. Cai left her husband and returned to her hometown.
Unexpectedly, the "Little Phoenix" in the play suddenly became "Mrs. Cai Yi" in real life.
After getting married, Zhao Shiguang's heart gradually became crowded, attracting more women's attention. He also often "visits" the entertainment sections of major weekly magazines because of some lace news.
Although He Lili's heart is torn apart by sadness, she still wants to believe that her husband still loves her.
She told ** that those so-called warblers and Yanyan are actually just "fishing girls", and once they have fished enough, they will let go.
She has always been fully committed to family life, and over the past decade, she has given birth to three daughters and a son for her husband, fulfilling her wish to have four children.
For He Lili, as the son of a wealthy family, her position has become indestructible.
However, there was one woman who almost shook her original position.
03 Marriage Defense.
In 1992, Zhao Shiguang met his former sister Tan Yumei, and the two were very similar in interests and hobbies, and they were always together.
After 3 years, he decided to live with Tan Yumei.
This shocking news caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong, completely destroying Ho's heart and causing her to lose face. Furious, He Lili strongly demanded that her husband publicly apologize in the newspaper.
Zhao Shiguang agreed, adding: "I also felt very sad when I saw her losing sleep due to sadness, and I hope she can forgive me." ”
Despite her husband's heartbreaking words, he still tries to make his lover happy, and together they are involved in **, property flipping, and property purchases.
He Lili, who has a resolute personality, is also reluctant to show weakness.
When Tan Yumei bought a building, she also chose a villa. Zhao Shiguang took Tan Yumei to Japan for a vacation, so she invited Zhao Shiguang to visit Europe together.
In news reports, the "chase race" between He Lili and Tan Yumei is often mentioned, and there are even rumors that Tan Yumei is willing to pay 10 million to make He Lili withdraw from the competition venue".
When ** checked the authenticity with He Lili, He Lili responded with a domineering attitude: "Unless this is my personal choice, no woman can threaten me and occupy my position." ”
However, what happened next made He Lili realize once again that her husband's amorous debt was difficult to prevent, and she had to plan carefully to avoid sitting still.
At the funeral of her father-in-law, Zhao Congyan, in 1999, her husband's illegitimate children appeared at the same time as their mother, Cheng Xiuli. Later, their names were officially recorded in the family genealogy.
As a result, Ho chose to take a step back, leaving Hong Kong in 2000 to set up a restaurant in Shanghai.
She no longer remained silent about the provocations of the warblers and swallows, but began to gather strength and wait for the right moment to fight back.
After 4 years, Zhao Shiguang was rushed to the hospital due to a stroke. He Lili's carefully nurtured eldest daughter accepted the task in an emergency and took over the family business.
After returning to the port urgently, Ho Lili cut off all contact between her husband and her lover, leaving them without even giving them any chance to visit.
Since Zhao Shiguang's health status is not yet clear and she cannot meet him, Tan Yumei gradually gives up her pursuit of him and starts her new relationship instead.
Although He Lili did not get the opportunity to visit, she still continued to provide living expenses for Cheng Xiuli in place of her sick husband.
Cheng Xiuli has a clear understanding of the current situation and assures the outside world that she will not fight for the family property as a child.
After successfully defeating her opponent, He Lili protected Zhao Shiguang in the hospital day and night until he was allowed to be discharged.
In 2010, Zhao Shiguang was taken to the hospital again, while his wife, He Lili, remained at his bedside.
Even Zhao Shiguang has gone through a bloody process, and it seems that it is difficult for the wealthy family to get rid of the competition for property.
In order to snatch the property of the "ship king", the relationship between the brother and sister broke down, and they openly quarreled on various ** and even went to court. It was a family farce that was finally reconciled a few years later.
Zhao Shiguang obviously didn't want history to play out again, perhaps because he saw his wife's loyalty to him, or because he was grateful for the four excellent and harmonious children his wife gave birth to, and in his will, he left all the 7 billion inheritance to his wife.
In July 2016, Zhao Shiguang passed away.
He Lili had thought that her husband's amorous debts would disappear with her, but a will unexpectedly revealed another of her "senior" lovers.
Since the age of 17, Liu Yuanyuan, the secretary who has been by her husband's side, loudly declared that her husband had promised to support her for the rest of his life when he was alive, and left a will for this purpose, intending to give her three businesses worth tens of millions.
He Lili fulfilled the contract without hesitation, but when she handed over the company to Liu Yuanyuan, she found that the three companies had nothing and were worthless.
Due to the failure of the plan, Liu Yuanyuan angrily took He Lili to court, but the result was that he lost the case.
At this point, He Lili's 43-year career in court struggle has finally come to an end.
In a widely circulated photo of He Lili crossing the brazier when she said goodbye to her husband, she is close to 70 years old and still maintains her lightness and beauty.
Some netizens commented: "The expression of lifting the leg reveals a kind of pride and lightness that is difficult to hide." ”
Many people envy He Lili and think that she has exchanged 43 years of patience for an inheritance of 7 billion, which is worth it.
However, most people don't realize how hard and at what cost she has put in to achieve this goal.
As Eileen Chang describes, "Life is like a gorgeous robe full of parasites. ”
The image of the big winner, who looks radiant on the surface, is actually full of flaws and problems on the inside.
Recalling the year He Lili "got married", Hong Kong's top people gathered here to celebrate her grand wedding, and all the major ** reported her grand occasion on the front page, which is really amazing.
However, when everything comes to an end, what everyone likes to talk about most is her victorious mansion style, isn't this also a deep sadness.
Marriage is like a pair of shoes.
Some people prefer to opt for a modest upper design rather than simply wearing their own feet.
However, some people would rather risk blood blisters and limp forward than give up their delicate uppers. Although he eventually arrived in a distant place, his heart was already filled with deep pain.
But is it really worth the price?How can we, the onlookers, say it with certainty?
In the end, life is like tasting tea, only you understand its warmth and coldness.
