Look at ** and say that she is 62 years old, who would dare to believe it?
The man next to her is her stepson, and the two look like siblings.
She was regarded as a "frozen rich woman" by the Hong Kong circle, known as "Boss Gu".
Not on men, on yourself.
How did she climb from the slums to the top of Hong Kong's rich pyramid?
In Gu Jiyun's memory, the wealthy life at home disappeared almost overnight.
In 1962, she was born in a middle-class family in Hong Kong, and if she followed a normal life trajectory, she would have received a good education and become a new generation of urban beauty.
However, it all went up in smoke when she was 12 years old.
My father failed to invest abroad and owed a large amount of money.
In order to pay off the debt, the father sold all the valuable items in the family at first, but he was still unable to cover the debt.
Eventually, the family's house in Mid-Levels Central was sold.
After losing a permanent home, the family moved to a resettlement area, a well-known slum in Hong Kong.
The houses in the resettlement area were so small that she felt dark, and none of the houses had their own bathrooms.
Compared with the previous big houses in the middle of Central, the windows are bright and clean, and it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
The sudden change was unacceptable to her, but the pain of life didn't end there.
In order to make a living, his father began to work in the factory, and his mother crossed the ocean to make a living abroad.
She took on the responsibility of taking care of her brother, who was 8 years younger than her.
From a middle-class lady to a down-and-out girl hovering on the edge of food and clothing in the slums, such a **-like plot is staged on her like this.
Once my father vomited after drinking, bluntly saying that he was sorry for the family, if only he hadn't bought ** at that time.
But investment has always been like this, there are profits and losses, she did not complain to her father, but immediately said that in the future, she will definitely be able to make money by her own ability and let her family live in a big house again.
Can she do it?
The change in her family background has also affected her studies to a certain extent.
After graduating from junior high school, she entered the society and began her part-time career.
She doesn't have a high degree of education, and she doesn't know much about things, and her resume is all lost.
My mother is already working hard in a hospital in Australia, and my father is also working on an endless assembly line in a factory.
She said that she didn't want to be a factory girl anymore, and the kind of life that factory girls could see at a glance was not what she wanted.
Countless failed interviews did not hit her, but aroused her indomitable determination.
Her spirit of not giving up until she reached her goal prompted her to meet the first noble person in her life.
Now that she is in her sixtieth year, she still has contact with this noble person and often eats together.
Her love and righteousness are emotional.
And the person who urged her to find a job at the beginning was Hu Feng, as the first supporting actor in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, with the same grassroots background, after learning about the previous life of the little girl interviewed in front of her, under the advice of the companyShe was able to stay at the front desk of the company as a clerk.
Although she is not very good at many professional skills, she is willing to learn.
Soon she learned a number of office skills and could do anything as a data handyman.
With her nimble hands and feet and beautiful appearance, she soon encountered another job that took her career to the next level.
Compared with "paying off debts for her father" into the entertainment industry, and then being dominated by her agent and ups and downs in her career, she took the initiative in her own hands from the beginning.
After only 3 months as a clerk at the front desk of a film and television company, the scout of ATV's predecessor Li's TV station accidentally discovered her and asked her if she would like to be the host.
The first thing she cares about is not whether she can become popular, but her salary.
After learning that the training period would cost 1,200 Hong Kong dollars a month, she readily agreed.
And the front desk here has only been working for a few months, and she wants to resign, but here she says that she can get a salary increase and hopes that she will stay.
She gritted her teeth, and it was a big deal to do two things together.
The front desk of the film and television company is mainly responsible for reception, and the work of the host is not scheduled every day, so she began to work two jobs.
In order to make money, she worked hard to practice hard with a newspaper every day during the training, learned Mandarin and learned English.
This also allows her to gain a firm foothold in the hosting industry even if she is not highly educated.
In order to realize her family's wish to move out of the slums without toilets as soon as possible, she sold jewelry part-time.
During the day, he worked as a clerk selling jewelry, and at night he hosted a show.
Instead of slacking off her work due to work pressure, she hosted 580 shows in one year, setting a record for hosting that year.
In the process of selling jewelry, she learned a lot about jewelry design and identification.
With the gradual expansion of her social circle, in order to improve herself, she chose to continue her education and study business administration to pave the way for her future.
She wears three hats, working all year round, starting at 4 a.m. and finishing at 10 p.m. every day, and she has lived this life for 6 years.
After 6 years of hard work, she finally fulfilled the promise she made to her father when she was young, and the family would definitely live in a big house again.
She bought a house in the mid-levels, and her family finally didn't have to live in a slum anymore.
When she fulfilled her promise to her father, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to live for her life.
It was also in this year that she got married.
After the house was bought, and after the small goal of life was realized, at the age of 21, she married Long Houyin.
After getting married, her husband proposed to move to Canada several times, although she was unwilling to give up her career that she had worked hard for many years, but she had infinite expectations for her love life and listened to her husband's ideas.
However, this became the fuse for the breakdown of the relationship between the two.
She lost her good fortune in Canada that she could quickly thrive in Hong Kong, and the lack of improvement in her career made her anxious.
In the past, she could make some money every month, but it turned out that it was moonshine in Canada.
After the birth of her son, the pressure of life gradually increased, her anxiety gradually increased, and the result of frequent quarrels was that the relationship between husband and wife could not be eased.
In order to avoid endless quarrels, she returned to Hong Kong with her children.
After arriving in Hong Kong, she put in the same intensity of work as before, and her husband found an opportunity to take care of her son when she could not take care of her son fully. In 1997, Long Houyin and the 35-year-old officially divorced, and the custody of the child belonged to the man.
The child was taken to Canada, and her 14-year married life came to an end.
And what has she done in her career in the years since she got married?
After returning to Hong Kong, she continued to work as a host on the former ATV TV station, during which she came into contact with TVB staff and occasionally made cameo appearances in film and television dramas.
Within a few years of working at ATV, she suffered a salary cut for all employees.
Such a blow made her choose to cooperate with TVB in 1990 and started her own path as an actress.
Although many viewers recognized her through her role in TVB film and television dramas.
But she didn't put all her energy into acting.
Guan Zhilin, who worked with her in Li's TV back then, had already relied on her man's infinite beauty at this time and became a household nameIts charm has made countless wealthy businessmen's wives "frightened".
But she took it one step at a time, relying on her own ability to get what she wanted.
After all, filming in the entertainment industry is not a stable job, although Liu Xixi in "Luoshen" made her particularly out of the circle, and she in "Cadet Police Ambition" also attracted the attention of many audiences, but she did not stay in the film and television industry for too long.
She has left no more than 10 film and television works in the entertainment industry, and they are all supporting roles.
During this period, she focused on continuing to be a host, improving herself, and doing big things and making a lot of money.
During this period, she also published 9 collections of essays.
One of them, "70 Letters About Growing Up", was written to his son, showing his love for his son.
A failed marriage made her no longer have much hope for love.
But how can a good and charismatic person be liked by no one?
She met Chen Shiwei at a party, and the other party was very attracted to her, but she was not very interested.
However, as soon as Chen Shiwei opened his mouth to sing, everything changed.
Although Chen Shiwei is a corporate executive, he has a successful status in the secular sense.
But when he was young, he also had a heart to chase his dreams, and when he was young, he formed a band with his brother and friends, worked as a drummer and mid-soprano harmony in the team, and also participated in the performance of the ** festival.
The other party's personal charm made her look at it twice.
Chen Shiwei's wife died early, leaving behind two sons, even if the two were in love, she also considered whether the children could accept it.
In constant contact, Chen Shiwei loved her very much, and the children accepted her.
So in 2003, at the age of 41, she remarried and married the wealthy Chen Shiwei.
With a stable family backing, she has more courage to give it a go in her career.
In 2008, she showed her style as a host at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Since then, she has retired from the background and mainly engaged in business investment.
With her business vision getting better and better, in 2011, she spent a lot of money to buy a super large mansion of more than 300 square meters with parking spaces in Jiahui Garden, Mid-levels West, which attracted attention.
She also began to be called "Boss Gu" because of her rich family property.
In 2021, she sold the house again, making a direct net profit of 80 million.
This move established her status as a rich woman.
In addition, she also has a reputation for buying limited edition luxury goods and jewelry, she has said to the publicThese are items that have room to appreciate.
It can be seen that her business vision is vicious.
Now at the age of 62, she can become a "frozen rich woman", presumably she has also put a lot of effort into facial care.
At the beginning of the year, she took a photo with her colleague Guan Zhilin, who worked together in her 20sHer temperament is no less than that of this former shining star.
On Zhong Zhentao's 71st birthday, she also went to celebrate.
In the group photo, she has an outstanding temperament and looks very outstanding.
Until now, who would have imagined that she was at the bottom of the family and climbed out of the slums?
She used her hard-working and accurate vision to fight a beautiful turnaround for her life.
What do you think about this?
