Recently, there was a marriage of giants in Hong Kong, which caused a heated discussion in the city.
The bride is Fok Ying Tung's granddaughter Huo Yongying, while the groom is Hu Jiahua's eldest son, Hu Zhiluo. Hu Jiahua is a famous "old money" family in Hong Kong, whose family originated earlier than Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and others.
However, the most famous thing about the Hu family is not the number of billions of assets, but the wife of Hu Jiahua, Wu Wanfang.
She once defeated Li Jiaxin, Zhao Yazhi and others, and was selected as the first "frozen age beauty" in Hong Kong!
As early as a few years ago, when Wu Wanfang and her husband attended the event, they swept the whole network with the following set of photos:
Subsequently, the "eight-story mansion" where Wu Wanfang lived was also pulled out:
That's right, the whole building is her home!
The entire mansion covers an area of nearly 2,000 square meters, surrounded by mountains and water, and this building has also won a world-class architecture award.
In addition to the labels of "frozen age" and "mansion", Wu Wanfang's own experience is also full of legends.
She used to be the "sister of the three materials of Hong Kong", but she was banned not long after her debut; later she married into a rich family, and her husband died mysteriously in his sleep...
Like many actresses who marry into the giants, Wu Wanfang is also a Hong Kong sister beauty pageant.
Why do so many Hong Kong sisters want to marry a tycoon? Because the social class in Hong Kong at that time was very solidified, if you want to cross the class, marrying a rich man was the fastest way.
Especially after Zhu Lingling opened the precedent of "Hong Kong sister marrying a rich family", it has cast a legendary color on the identity of "Hong Kong sister".
Wu Wanfang's family is average, and her grades when she goes to school are also average. After graduating from high school, she worked as a clerk in a travel agency.
At that time, her favorite thing was to sing. So in 1986, 18-year-old Wu Wanfang signed up for the Hong Kong Sisters Competition, hoping to take this opportunity to become a singer.
Because of her good looks, Wu Wanfang attracted much attention as soon as she competed, and she really did not have any strong competitors at that time. Unfortunately, in the end, she was very popular and only won the runner-up, and the championship was awarded to another player named Li Meishan.
If you just look at her looks, Li Meishan is indeed inferior to Wu Wanfang. But Li Meishan is a high-caliber student at New York University in the United States, who can also speak thirteen languages, and she is also the first master's champion in the history of Hong Kong sisters.
Although Wu Wanfang was the runner-up because of her academic qualifications, she was still the most concerned among all the players. Because she not only won the runner-up, but also won the "Most Photogenic Miss" and "Miss Talent", becoming the first "Three Materials Hong Kong Sister" in history.
It is worth mentioning that the fates of these two champions and runners-up are also completely different.
Li Meishan's participation was more like playing tickets, and she did not want to enter the entertainment industry, after winning the championship, she did not sign a contract with the company, but went abroad to continue her studies, and later married a lawyer.
Wu Wanfang, on the other hand, received wireless praise, and on the second day of the competition, she was arranged to shoot a World Cup promotional film. After that, he partnered with the popular big brother Wan Ziliang to host the fifth "TVB Rookie Singing Competition".
This was the most watched singing talent show in Hong Kong at the beginning, and Mui Yanfang, Li Ming, and later Eason Chan and others all debuted through this competition.
Wu Wanfang likes to sing, so she usually likes to make friends with singers. She has been the MV heroine of Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong, and has also become Jacky Cheung's "qi sister". Because of the good relationship with Zhang Guorong, the two people sang together when the action was intimate, and was also written by the Hong Kong media for a "gossip".
However, after all, wireless is still dominated by film and television dramas, and its artists must be pulled to the crew to start work, and Wu Wanfang is certainly no exception.
Under the arrangement of wireless, Wu Wanfang has also starred in some dramas, but they are not the protagonists. For example, "Journey of Life", partner Wu Zhenyu; and "Green Book of the Sea of People", partner Zheng Yijian.
But Wu Wanfang is also very stubborn, she really does not like acting, but also really only wants to be a singer. Wireless forced her to act, and she didn't buy it.
Finally, when wireless asked her to play the role of Cen Kaixin, the villain in "Oath Not to Bow Down", Wu Wanfang directly refused to act "due to illness".
This can annoy the wireless. How can Wireless accept that the Hong Kong sister selected by himself is so disobedient? Therefore, in one breath, Wu Wanfang was directly hidden by wireless snow.
After being hidden by wireless snow, Wu Wanfang signed a record label and began to sing wholeheartedly. She has released albums such as "Wu Wanfang" and "Autumn Cake".
And in 1990, Wu Wanfang won the bronze medal for newcomers in the "Top Ten Golden Songs", and the gold award of that year was Dawn. After that, she also collaborated with Andy Lau on songs such as "Autumn Waiting for You".
However, in the 90s, when the Hong Kong music industry immortals fought, Wu Wanfang was difficult to make a splash.
By 1993, she married her boyfriend Hu Jiahua and then settled down with her husband and children.
First, let's talk about the background of the Hu family, the "old money" family. Hu Zhaochi, the grandfather of the Hu family, was one of the earliest industrialists in Hong Kong. He founded Qili Foreign Firm in 1931, when Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and other talents were just born.
In that year, Hu Zhaochi got the general agency right of the American "Xilian" shampoo and rose rapidly in the market. After earning the first pot of gold, Hu Zhaochi also began to invest in real estate. As early as the 40s, he was already speculating in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Later, Hu Zhaochi cooperated with Li Shau Kee, Guo Desheng and Feng Jingxi to establish the "Yongye Company", which was also the earliest prototype of "Sun Hung Kai".
Hu Zhaozi married a third-room wife, of which Wu Zhaowen, the head of the house, gave birth to 7 daughters and 1 son, so the only son of the big house, Hu Baoxing, was jokingly called "Seven Stars holding the moon".
And Wu Wanfang's husband Hu Jiahua is Hu Baoxing's second son. Hu Baoxing, who majored in law, and his friends set up the "Hu Guan Li Luo Law Firm" in Hong Kong, and almost all of hong Kong's "four major families" were his clients.
When Hong Kong citizens subscribed to Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau Kee's new real estate, the cheques issued were all from "Hu Guan Li Luo Law Firm", and Hu Baoxing was also known as "Brother Of The Deed".
However, unlike some other rich families, the Hu family is relatively low-key, and there are few lace scandals.
As a rich third generation, Hu Jiahua is also surrounded by the rich circle in Hong Kong. He and Xu Jinheng have a very good relationship, and when Xu Jinheng married He Chaoqiong, he also served as a groomsman.
Hu Jiahua is 6 years older than Wu Wanfang, who had just returned to Hong Kong after completing his studies abroad and was meeting Wu Wanfang who debuted after participating in the Hong Kong Sister Competition.
Two people often meet on different occasions, and they feel very fateful when they come and go. Until Tan Yonglin's concert backstage, Zeng Zhiwei matched, and the two people officially came together.
Wu Wanfang and Hu Jiahua have been in love for 7 years, and their feelings have always been very sweet. They rarely quarreled, and the most serious one was when Wu Wanfang said, "Don't come to me in the future." "But in a few days it will be reconciled automatically."
In 1993, in order not to be watched by the media, Wu Wanfang and Hu Jiahua chose to hold a wedding in London. Although the wedding was as low-key as ever, the large diamond ring on Wu Wanfang's hand inadvertently revealed a touch of luxury.
It is worth mentioning that Hu Jiahua also has a mansion property in the United Kingdom, surrounded by the official residences of British nobles and consulates of various countries. In addition, the Rolls-Royce he used to make wedding cars, the license plate number is "1 woo", "woo" represents his surname "Hu".
It can be said that although the wedding is not extravagant, every detail shows the identity of the Hu family. After marriage, Wu Wanfang gave birth to 2 sons and a daughter. However, the originally happy married life was suddenly broken by a bad news.
After marrying Hu Jiahua, Wu Wanfang faded out of the show business circle and concentrated on her husband and children. Wu Wanfang has a quiet personality, and usually does not like to be in the limelight, and when she appears in the media lens, she is mostly accompanied by her family.
She was tepid in the entertainment industry, and after marrying into the rich, she did not cause much discussion, but after more than ten years of marriage, she suddenly became angry because of the "goddess of frozen age"!
Over the past few decades, her husband Hu Jiahua's hair has gradually turned white and revealed the appearance of an old man, but Wu Wanfang has hardly changed at all!
In 2016, she and Hu Jiahua held hands and appeared in this set of pictures at the horse farm, which instantly blew up the whole network!
At that time, many people's first reaction, thinking that it was the "old husband and young wife" of the rich gossip, who knew that this was indeed the original 50-year-old Wu Wanfang.
However, happiness came to an abrupt end in 2017. In February 2017, Hu Jiahua passed away peacefully in his sleep. As soon as the news came out, the whole hong Kong was shocked, because Hu Jiahua was only 55 years old when he died, and he had never heard of any ills before.
This is even more sunny for Wu Wanfang, but she still has to pick up her spirit to handle her husband's posthumous affairs.
Many celebrities in Hong Kong attended Hu Jiahua's funeral, including: Hui Jinheng and Li Jiaxin, Jacky Cheung, Miao Qiaowei, Liu Jialing and so on...
After the death of her husband, Wu Wanfang became more and more low-key, and the media occasionally photographed her going out on the street, but she cried red eyes when she went shopping with her children or visited her husband.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that after so many years of marriage, Wu Wanfang has been well protected by her husband. Just compare the life of Wu Wanfang and other rich and generous women to know how relaxed and happy she has been over the years.
The relationship with her husband is stable, there is no eight-o'clock news every three forks and five minutes, and the children have grown up very well. The state of life will be most intuitively projected onto her face, and without the hardships of life, she will naturally look very young.
However, she was not a flower in the greenhouse, and after her husband's death, she continued to live the rest of her life, taking care of everything in the family alone.
Many people are curious about what Wu Wanfang's "freezing age secret" is, and many people think that she is very lucky and has had a smooth journey along the way.
In fact, when it is so easy to be a new hug of the giants, Wu Wanfang once said: "I also want to eat fish eggs on the street, but no, I am afraid that being taken indecent photos will affect my husband." ”
At the same time, she also said that she is the "A Q spirit": "Everyone will encounter happy or unhappy things, don't cling to everything, be content and happy." "Perhaps what needs to be maintained more than looks is the mentality."
