In a person's life, there are gains and losses. We must all encounter ups and downs, and we must also have times to harvest good joy. But when encountering big ups and downs, how many people will maintain a calm and rational attitude? The couple that Xiaobian wants to talk about today is that they encountered huge setbacks, they can still remain calm, and then turn over again and finally create brilliance. They are the well-known couples of the Republic of China: Ren Zhifang and Sheng Yuyou.
As we all know, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, two top merchants, Sheng Xuanhuai and Hu Xueyan, were not only elite talents who fought wits and courage in the mall, but also were sworn enemies in life. However, what can persist in laughing to the end is the famous Sheng Xuanhuai, whose wealth is amazing and unparalleled. Sheng Yuyou was born in the Sheng family of the rich world, and his grandfather was very fond of him. Not only did he leave him with a number of real estate and millions of silver at the time of his death, but he also affirmed Sheng Yuyou's position as the head of the family in front of the clan.
When Sheng Yuyou married Ren Zhifang, the wedding of the two was held in the Paramount Ballroom, which lasted for three days and three nights. The wedding of the two can be said to be a powerful combination, and at that time it was called "the most luxurious wedding on the beach". The Ren Zhifang family is not so noble, but she is also a famous bridesmaid. Her father was named Ren Boxuan, who was the vice president of the Beiyang Finance Department, so Ren Zhifang had a good life from an early age, had a very good literary background, and was outstanding in appearance, and was a veritable miss gui. The marriage of two people was called a match made in heaven at the time.
After marriage, the life of the two was indeed happy and happy, but the good times were not long, and Sheng Yuyou and his wife encountered a crisis. Although Sheng Yuyou had passed over to Sheng Tongyi's name at a young age, his biological father Sheng Enyi was a gambler and the most likely loser. Sheng Enyi first destroyed his property, and then began to ask his son Sheng Yuyu for money. After all, it is his biological father, and Sheng Yuyou cannot ignore it, so Sheng Yuyou will rescue his father from time to time. But later, Sheng Enyi's gambling addiction became even worse, resulting in nearly one-third of Sheng Yuyou's property being used to pay off gambling debts. Although Ren Zhifang was angry, she was helpless against her father-in-law. In this way, the Sheng family's property was destroyed because of Sheng Enyi. In desperation, Sheng Yuyu donated all his property and finally went to Japan with his wife and children.
In 1960, Sheng Yuyu finally settled down in Tokyo and began to set up a stall to sell breakfast. Ren Zhifang immediately stood by his side and accompanied him to start from scratch. There is inevitably greasy and dirty on the stall, Ren Zhifang, who once had ten fingers and did not touch the spring water of the yang, but did not have a word of complaint, she tied an apron to help her husband out of the stall, with diligence and word of mouth to start a store business, step by step to accumulate capital. The couple supported each other in the difficult situation, invited a famous Chinese chef to make classic Chinese delicacies such as small dumplings and braised pork ribs, and the business was better every day, the branches appeared one after another, and the days were better again.
In this way, Sheng Yuyou and Ren Zhifang and his wife were able to rely on their own food stalls to make a comeback again and earn hundreds of millions of dollars. Their "New Asia Hotel" is the most famous Chinese hotel near Tokyo Tower, specializing in Shanghai cuisine and establishing rules for high salaries for Chinese students. Sheng Yuyou and Ren Zhifang, who share the same happiness and hardships, finally performed a legendary story.
