Lee Hsien LoongLost his wife at the age of age, fighting cancerZai, show affection with his beloved wifeYear.
Born in a prominent background, Lee Hsien Loong, Lee Kuan Yew's debut, has been shrouded in glory and expectation since childhood.
Lee Hsien Loong was brilliant and talented in mathematics from an early age, and he led the way to the top of the world, winning ** and overseas scholarships, and thus began a glorious chapter for the University of Cambridge. Nurtured by his father's political passion, he threw himself into politics at a young age, and at the age of 11, he accompanied his father to the constituency to show his future leader.
From Cambridge to Harvard, his academic journey deepened his understanding of public administration and became fluent in four Chinese languages. After returning from his studies, Lee Hsien Loong joined the Singapore military and rose through the ranks with his outstanding talents, reaching the title of general at the age of 32.
His legendary life is like an inspirational protagonist, from the very beginning he has a god-given top advantage, and he is the lucky one who is envied in people's hearts.
Some people firmly believe that life is incomplete without experiencing the twists and turns of life. As the years passed, Lee Hsien Loong's life began to show ups and downs. During his studies in Cambridge, England, he met Huang Mingyang, a medical genius from Gerton College, and the two hearts instantly attracted each other, becoming the golden boy and girl who envied others.
In 1978, at the age of 26, he and the love of his heart entered the palace of marriage, their love story was picturesque, harmonious, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the picture of a warm family began.
However, the happy times did not last long, and in 1982, Huang Mingyang suddenly suffered a ruthless attack of heart disease and unfortunately passed away. As a result, the 30-year-old Lee Hsien Loong's life instantly fell into endless grief, not only having to face the cruel reality of being widowed, but also having to take on the responsibility of raising his 19-month-old daughter Lee Xiuqi and his 3-year-old son Lee Yipeng alone.
It was the darkest and most difficult stage of his life. Lee Hsien Loong was deeply devastated by the loss of his beloved wife, and he said affectionately at his wife's memorial service: "She is my soul mate, my beloved, whether in laughter or tears, she is the person I know best."
I have reciprocated with the same affection, and now, life and death separate us, but we must learn to live strong in a world without her. ”
As Singapore's leader, Lee Hsien Loong's shoulders are more burdened than the outside world thinks. His life is not only about power and glory, but also the challenges of his son Li Yipeng's illness, the double problems of albinism and autism, which means endless dedication and responsibility for him, a widowed single father.
Having to play the dual role of a parent and take care of his personal future, his inner world is under indescribable pressure. However, fate did not seem to give up on him.
In 1985, on a chance trip to Sentosa, 35-year-old Lee Hsien Loong met Ho Ching, a beautiful and capable woman whose appearance was like a ray of light that illuminated his lonely world.
He Jing's appearance undoubtedly brought him love and support, and rejuvenated his life.
Born into a Singaporean Chinese family, Ho Ching's roots can be traced back to Guangdong. Although the family wealth is not as good as that of the Lee Hsien Loong family, He Jing shines with her own strength, and has been a leader in learning since she was a child, and has won the first scholarship.
After graduating from university, she joined the Ministry of Defence of Singapore with outstanding performance, focusing on system innovation and research and development. After a year of falling in love with Lee Hsien Loong, they entered a happy married life hand in hand.
Regardless of his elite background, Lee Hsien Loong appears as a single father who has lost his partner and is responsible for raising his ailing son. From this point of view, He Jing is undoubtedly the same"into the redundancy"The Good Wife.
As the stepmother of the child, she is like a mountain of maternal love, and devotes herself to the duties of a mother, sparing no effort to take care of the child in the sick, and looking for famous doctors and medicines. Ho Ching's dedication did not stop, she also added two new lives to Lee Hsien Loong, showing great dedication and affection.
In Lee Kuan Yew's memory, the union of the eldest son and daughter-in-law is a good story. Ho Ching not only accompanies Lee Hsien Loong as a virtuous helper, but her presence seems to be a catalyst that has brought Lee Hsien Loong's life and career to life.
At the age of 32, he stepped into the **, and at first he started in non-core areas out of suspicion. However, when Singapore faced an economic winter, Lee Hsien Loong's 1986 report "Singapore in the 21st Century" became an instant hit and shook the whole country.
Subsequently, he rose through the ranks, and in 1987 he was promoted to Minister of Industry and Deputy Minister of Defence. In 1990, Lee Kuan Yew stepped down as prime minister and became senior minister in the cabinet, and Goh Chok Tong took over.
Under his promotion, the 38-year-old Lee Hsien Loong was given the important task of becoming deputy prime minister and minister of trade and industry, officially taking over the baton of the country's development.
In his career, Lee Hsien Loong has maintained a steady pace. However, a turning point in his life always came inadvertently, and at the age of 40, he was challenged by lymphoma.
The illness undoubtedly had a huge psychological impact on Lee Hsien Loong, but he faced it with his usual tenacity and calmness. "It was a time of fear, but not as dark as the loss of a loved one.
The support of my family once again became my strength to overcome difficulties. In 2003, he proudly declared that after 11 years of fighting cancer, he had successfully overcome the disease and that the pain had not weakened his vitality.
Following the resignation of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong in August 2004, the 52-year-old Lee Hsien Loong took over the baton as Prime Minister and has been at the helm of Singapore** for 18 years, demonstrating his leadership and perseverance.
Ho Ching, Singapore's first lady, is different, she is not only the supporter behind Lee Hsien Loong, but also a real business heroine. In 1987, she said goodbye to the military and joined the business world as Deputy Director of Engineering at a Singapore Technology Company, where she led the company to become a giant in telecommunications, engineering, logistics and aviation, with assets of more than $10 billion.
In 2001, she stepped down from the company. In 2002, she was taken by Tanabalanan and asked to take the helm of Temasek, no ordinary investment company, which is the jewel of Singapore's Ministry of Finance, which oversees key sectors such as the country's telecommunications, aviation, transport and ports.
Ho Ching's appointment has sparked heated discussions in Singapore, with questions raised whether Finance Minister Lee Hsien Loong's wife at the helm of a state-owned enterprise will give the state-owned enterprise a "family stamp".
At first, there were doubts about Ho Jing's appointment, suspecting that her success stemmed from nepotism. But Dana Banan has a unique eye, and he values He Jing's strength rather than background.
Not to be outdone, He Jing quickly took over the challenge. She proved to be a powerful, courageous, and charismatic female leader. In 2003, she wrote Temasek's legacy with a 30-fold increase in profits and a 46% surge in shareholder returns.
For her outstanding contributions to the business world, Jing Ho has twice been named one of Fortune magazine's 25 Most Influential Entrepreneurs in Asia. After more than a decade at Temasek, he announced his retirement in 2021.
As Singapore's prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong and Ho Ching, despite their busy schedules, have consistently shown sweet love.
In the solemn moment, the lovers go hand in hand, smiling like flowers, and the sincere and unpretentious emotions are like long-term partners who have gone through the wind and rain, sharing the preciousness of every step.
In a leisurely time, the old couple traveled the world hand in hand, and every step was engraved with shared joy. The years have quietly dyed the ends of their hair white, but the simplicity and pure happiness is like a pearl in the sun, sparkling and unable to hide.
Lee Hsien Loong and his wife Ho Ching, the two of them maintain an eternally youthful mentality, and every group photo does not forget to sweeten their hearts, just like a couple show in cyberspace. If you strip away their special aura, they are just an ordinary couple who have walked side by side for 37 years of ups and downs.
When the years dye your hair gray, only true love can illuminate that pious heart and tolerate your aging and melancholy ......Lee Hsien Loong and Ho Ching, undoubtedly"Grow old together"The best interpretation.
Since his birth, he is destined to have an extraordinary life journey, despite the pain of widowhood, the illness of his eldest son and his own 11 years of fighting cancer, but fate has responded with an outstanding woman like He Jing, whose 37 years of deep love are the envy of everyone.
