In the blossoming pear orchard, a lone show shows its elegance. There are countless strange women in ancient and modern times, and they have survived the wind and rain. Her life was full of ups and downs, and her legend was deeply imprinted.
From riding a bamboo horse in childhood, to running north and south, from an orphan girl from a poor family to a rich man, from Qin Se and Ming to the court, from innocence and kindness to the complexity of the world, this legend of ups and downs can only be interpreted by Hong Kong Xiao Tian Tian Gong Xinru.
Gong Xinru, born in Shanghai in 1937, has lived in Shanghai since childhood, her father and Wang Dehui's father are close friends, and Chinachem was founded by Wang's father in Shanghai, where her father also worked.
However, in the 1950 accident, her father was killed, and she, her younger siblings and mother became "orphans and widows". In 1955, Gong Xinru, who was only 18 years old, married her childhood sweetheart Wang Dehui in Hong Kong.
A few years later, the couple left Chinachem and founded Chinachem Real Estate on their own. In order to support her husband's career, Gong Xinru worked hard to learn English, cared about current affairs, and learned all kinds of business-related knowledge.
The husband and wife worked together, and the company soon surpassed the Chinachem Company founded by the royal father, and not only operated vigorously in the original western medicine, chemical and other industries, but also expanded to many industries such as petroleum and agriculture, and became a world-class company.
With her excellent business skills, Gong Xinru and her husband worked together to formulate the right business strategy. They foresaw the potential of the real estate sector, especially the demand for housing where ordinary people live.
They invested decisively, not only buying land and building houses in Hong Kong, but also introducing an innovative sales method of instalments. This move not only promoted the prosperity of the real estate industry, but also established Chinachem Land's leading position in the industry.
However, although Gong Xinru's talent and contribution cannot be ignored, she still chooses to work silently behind her husband's back to support his career. She enjoys the process of giving advice with her husband, although she rarely shares his accolades in front of the stage.
For her, love and respect are more important than any honor.
Although the couple has always been praised for sharing ups and downs and working together to create a better future, God always seems to be jealous of happy people, and always adds some trials and regrets to their lives.
The couple's experience is a prime example of this. One morning in 1983, they were running in their hilltop mansion to get ready for work, only to be kidnapped by a group of knife-wielding kidnappers.
The kidnappers packed Ms. Wang in a refrigerator and sent her back to Ms. Gong and asked her to go home to raise $11 million in ransom. Gong Xinru deposited the money in the designated bank according to the kidnappers' instructions, and the kidnappers later released Wang Dehui as promised.
Although the couple lost a huge fortune, they at least saved their lives. However, this incident still left a shadow in their hearts.
In order to prevent similar hijackings from happening again, the Wang couple invested heavily in hiring top bodyguards, and after several years of peaceful life, Wang Dehui thought it was safe and did not need to hire bodyguards, so he fired them.
However, it was this self-confidence that led him to be kidnapped again. In April 1990, Wang Dehui was kidnapped again on his way home from a game of golf, and this time it was more complicated than the previous kidnapping, involving the collusion between kidnappers and police insiders in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The kidnappers demanded $60 million this time. Gong Xinru first transferred 30 million US dollars to the bank designated by the kidnappers as agreed, and called the police at the same time. However, after calling the police, Wang Dehui was retaliated by the kidnappers, who killed him and dumped his body on the high sea.
After her husband passed away, Gong Xinru bravely took over the burden of Chinachem Real Estate. She firmly believes that success comes from hard work and perseverance, regardless of origin. So, she threw herself into her work, following her husband's example and focusing on the operation and development of the business.
Eventually, her efforts paid off, and under her leadership, Chinachem Land rose to the next level to become the largest private real estate developer in Hong Kong, and gradually expanded its business scope to include food and beverage, entertainment, finance, biology and other fields.
However, 7 years after her husband's death, the royal father took Gong Xinru to court, and a drama about the fight for business property began.
In the battle for property, the family accused Gong Xinru of forging a will, which led to Gong Xinru being controlled for a time and all the company's assets being frozen. But she didn't give in as easily as the average woman, she actively searched for evidence, hired the best lawyers, and threw herself into the battle.
Although she lost the case in 2002, three years later, she appealed again and finally won the eight-year, $200 million inheritance battle in September 2005 and obtained an 80 billion inheritance.
However, life is always dramatic, especially for the extraordinary. Just two years after the victory in the inheritance battle, in 2007, Gong Xinru died at the age of 69 at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, leaving behind an inheritance of more than 80 billion.
However, it is sad that although she fought hard for these inheritances, she was unable to enjoy them and ended up in nothing. After Gong Xinru's death, a new round of inheritance battle began, this time the protagonist is a feng shui gentleman - Chen Zhencong, who lied that he had Gong Xinru's will, and he inherited more than 800 billion inheritance.
In the end, Chen Zhencong lost the lawsuit, and 80 billion assets were returned to charity** and used for charity. This result is the best, because it is taken from the people and used by the people.
Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" depicts the ups and downs of ordinary people's lives, and Gong Xinru's extraordinary life is full of thrills. Some people say that her life seems to have gone through three lives and three lives, and what she has experienced, others may need ten lives to experience.
This statement is very accurate, she is known as a "legendary woman" by Hong Kong people, and these two words are very appropriate for her.
