When Du Yuesheng'er returned to China, she wanted to go back to Meng Xiaodong's house, and the residents gave 1 million
Du Yuesheng's life is full of legends. At the age of 14, he broke into Shanghai alone and became an apprentice at a fruit shop. Later, he worked in the home of ** Rong, the leader of the "Shanghai Youth Gang", and won the appreciation of Huang Jianrong's wife with his intelligence and quick hands, and got the opportunity to run a business for ** Rong.
In the end, he counterattacked and became the man of the year in Shanghai. It is said that Du Yuesheng was rich at that time, and the Shanghai financial boss was very generous, and he lent hundreds of millions of dollars in his life, but he never considered recovering these debts.
Is Du Yuesheng too much money and too lazy to collect debts? I don't think so, he's a shrewd man, and he thinks it's more important to keep those favors than to get the money back.
At the end of Du Yuesheng's life, the glory has long faded. He died on August 16, 1951, and lost even the ability to purchase a cemetery in Shanghai. For this reason, his fourth aunt Yao Yulan could only bury his body in Taiwan.
He had five wives, eight sons, and three daughters in his harem. Among them, Meng Xiaodong is his fifth aunt, she is a well-known actor in the Peking Opera industry, specializing in "raw roles" and is very professional.
It is not surprising that Du Yuesheng favors such women. In August 1951, Du Yuesheng felt that his life was coming to an end, so he orally distributed the inheritance to his wife and children under the witness of Hu Xuwu.
Although Du Yuesheng was no longer as wealthy as he used to be, he told his descendants not to collect debts, and we don't know why he did so.
When he had done so, he generously gave $100,000 and divided it equally among his five aunts and eight sons, with $4,000 for his married daughter and $6,000 for his unmarried daughter.
Du Weishan, the only son of Du Yuesheng and Yao Yulan, is also the most beloved member of the family. He was born in Shanghai in 1933, and as a wealthy young man, he naturally attracted much attention from the outside world.
However, growing up in a privileged environment can lead to a poor child if you don't get a good education. 02 However, Du Yuesheng herself was born at the bottom and knows the importance of education.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the education of his children, especially his youngest son, whom he loves the most. He took him with his heart, cultivated him to become a talent, taught him many principles of life, shared his stories and experiences, taught him how to operate, and expected him to become his own ** person with selfless fatherly love.
The deep affection between Du Weishan and his father is self-evident, so his father's death in 1951 devastated him. After his father's death, his mother, Yao Yulan, went to Taiwan to seek refuge with Lao Chiang in accordance with his father's last wishes.
For Lao Chiang, who was fighting for power, money was naturally indispensable, and Du Yuesheng was the richest man in Shanghai at that time. Therefore, the relationship between the two must be very close.
However, although Du Weishan misses the motherland, he cannot go back because of the sensitive relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. After returning to Taiwan, he worked at the grassroots level in an oil company and a mining research institute, and rose to the rank of deputy minister with his outstanding talent and hard work.
However, he didn't like the intriguing work environment and chose to specialize in business.
Du Yuesheng's cultivation of his youngest son, Du Weishan, was fruitful in cultivating his youngest son, Du Weishan, who relied on his father's courage and ability to make his business flourish under the opportunity of reform and opening up in 1978.
After the improvement of living conditions, Du Weishan began to be enthusiastic about collecting and researching ancient coins, and gradually emerged in this field, and even gained a lot of fame. Surprisingly, Du Weishan donated 1.8 billion ancient coins to ** in 1991 and trained a large number of professionals for the Shanghai Museum.
He always kept in mind his father's teachings and was committed to contributing to his country. At that time, before his father died, he left a Beijing courtyard house to his sister and this little son, which was once the residence of Du Yuesheng and his fifth aunt Meng Xiaodong, so it was called "Meng Xiaodong's former residence" by many people.
It's embarrassing that many things have changed drastically over time. Therefore, Du Yuesheng's real estate ownership has changed hands and has been distributed by the ** department to those poor people who do not have housing.
Therefore, this courtyard, which was once known as the "former residence of Meng Xiaodong", actually no longer belongs to Meng Xiaodong himself. These valuable real estate have long ceased to belong to Du Yuesheng, but, for the sake of face, he finally settled in Taiwan.
Du Yuesheng knew this at the time, but as a man of the hour in Shanghai, he probably wanted to maintain his last dignity, so he seriously assigned this courtyard house to Du Weishan and his sister.
Du Weishan found that there were more than 20 families living in this courtyard, a total of dozens of people, and the amount of compensation they demanded made him feel helpless, because the house actually had nothing to do with them.
* Unable to intervene, he had no choice but to leave.
