Many years ago, there was an article circulating on the Internet, which was quite interesting, although according to Ma Weidu's own words: "the whole article is made up", but the influence is indeed huge, in the current information explosion, people are usually interested in these sensational rumors. Especially those celebrities negative news, whether true or false, everyone is always subconsciously willing to believe.
Indeed, just like everyone likes to watch the liveliness on the street, like to watch, like to inquire about the parents of other people's families, whose children have caused trouble again, whose two sons have cheated, whose daughter-in-law and mother-in-law have fought again, "good things do not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles", no way, this is human nature.
In that "Three No Nets Article", the author made up Ma Weidu's so-called history of his fortune, saying that he was the first pot of gold earned by "rich women".
In the talk show "Round Table Pie", Ma Weidu and Pan Tsefu, Dou Wentao, and Meng Guangmei, who were sitting around the table, clarified the rumor. Ma Weidu said: "I can easily prove that when I was young, I did not have a rich woman, because when I was young, there was no such thing as a rich woman, and there was no rich woman in the whole country. Where am I going to go? ”。
Dou Wentao made a joke about Ma Ye at this time: "That is not necessarily true, China does not have it, you can find foreigners." It made everyone laugh.
To ask Ma Weidu whether he knows a rich woman, in fact, he really knows one, that is already a matter after the reform and opening up, at this time Ma Weidu probably does not need to rely on "rich women" to earn the first bucket of gold, because at that time he still had some money in his pocket.
Ma Weidu, who was in his early 30s, often wore suits and shoes and appeared in Hong Kong's Hollywood Road, where he touched the treasure, when the antique industry in the mainland had not yet risen, and not many people would be interested in these old things, but Ma Weidu had an extraordinary vision. In addition to being interested in traditional Chinese culture, hollywood in Hong Kong is an entrepreneur and collector from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but there are few antique lovers from the mainland.
In the streets of Hong Kong, Ma Weidu can't even find a person who can speak, first of all, Cantonese is difficult to understand, language communication is very problematic, secondly, there are more antique dealers here, and Ma Weidu thinks that he is a collector of cultural relics, a literati, three or two sentences to raise money, he somewhat feels that it is too copper smelly.
However, "He Tai" is not such a person, she is probably one of the few people Ma Weidu has met here who can talk together, and she is still a woman, which is very rare.
"He Tai"'s real name is He Shuzhen, because she married a wealthy British businessman named "He Anda", between her identity and status, insiders used to call her "He Tai". In fact, it is often called mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Liu in the mainland, and Hong Kong people are probably lazy, just called "He Tai", can save a word is a word.
When they first met, Ma Weidu did not know that the woman in front of her was a full fifteen years older than her, she looked very young, very elegant, and very polite, and what made Ma Weidu feel most kind was her accent, because He Tai grew up in Taiwan, so his Chinese said very well. When he heard Ma Weidu talking to himself with a mouthful of Kyo pieces, she was immediately interested.
After chatting for a few minutes, He Tai and Ma Wei both had a great sense of seeing each other and hating the night, she was going to invite Ma Weidu to dinner that night, the two of them talked happily at the dinner table, Ma Weidu's erudition left a deep impression on He Tai, and He Tai's taste, as well as the kind of wind bone that did not eat human fireworks, also made Ma Wei admire.
Unlike other collectors, He Tai never talks about money, only art, which is somewhat similar to Ma Wei. This should be the first time Ma Weidu and the so-called rich woman has had close contact, before only in the old movie to see the old Shanghai beach "rich women", most of them are artistic processing, exaggerated very, very ungrounded, and the "rich woman" in front of ma Weidu refreshed the cognition, it turns out that they are not drunken gold fans, luxury group.
He Tai in life is very warm to people, no matter what the identity and status of the other party, she will treat you equally, take the initiative to greet you, ask for warmth, and show everyone's temperament between hands and feet.
The truth of "He Tai" also left a good impression on Ma Weidu, as if she never had any secrets, she would take the initiative to talk to Ma Weidu about her own life, and treat others honestly without reservation.
Ma Weidu recalled that He Tai was also interested in Ma Weidu's history, and she asked Ma Weidu, the mainland has just reformed and opened up, and the economy has just started, how did you run your private museum?
Ma Weidu himself explained everything in just four idioms: rope sawing wood, water droplets and stones piercing, gathering sand into a tower, and gathering armpits into a fur.
He Tai smiled after hearing this, she looked out the window and said a word: "There are not many people like you who really understand cultural relics and are very knowledgeable." As she spoke, you could feel her admiration for Ma Weidu. Talking about the changes in Beijing over the years, He Tai was also very interested, she heard that Beijing has produced a group of interesting people, there are Wang Shuo, there is Cui Jian, there is Dou Wei, there is Xie Yuan, they are all fighters of the times, the initiators of new culture, and many of them are Ma Weidu's particularly good friends, saying that He Taidu wants to see them.
Those years were probably the best times for Mrs. He, although she was more than 40 years old, she still had charm, and her wealth and achievements had reached the peak of her life, she could buy any literary play she wanted at will, swim in the ocean of cultural relics, learn, feel the charm of cultural relics, and make friends with like-minded people of insight.
However, for a person, especially for a woman, good times are always fleeting, and before you can taste it, it has already passed inadvertently between your fingers.
It was a spring many years later, ma Weidu was invited to an art fair in London, England, at this time Ma Weidu has become one of the largest collectors in China, he frequently appears on television and at auctions around the world, his books are often sold out of stock, his wealth is amazing, and his museums have opened in the capital cities of the country.
When Ma Weidu was surrounded by a group of people and walked into a famous old goods street, a lady behind him called out to him, and in the crowd, Ma Weidu judged the direction of the sound.
At this time, this woman appeared in front of him, she seemed very happy, but also very enthusiastic, and Ma Weidu looked at the recent life, and said that he would often see you and him on TV, while Ma Weidu could only be embarrassed by Yinghe, but forgot who the other party really was.
Ma Weidu said that no matter how exquisite a person's life is, the number of people you know will not exceed ten thousand at most, of which you will not be remembered by more than a thousand, and the people who can be in regular contact will not exceed a hundred people who are more intimate.
Ma Weidu's status today is not what it used to be, There are 5,000 people in WeChat, which is the limit of this social software function, and if you know one more friend, he needs to delete one of these 5,000 people to add new people.
For Ma Weidu today, the woman in front of him may be one of these 5,000 people, a "half-familiar face" that he can't think of right away.
And the woman in front of her was still not half aware, she was still talking incessantly, and as she spoke, she suddenly fell into a moment of contemplation, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face: "Time passes so fast, I think when we talked about cultural relics in the café of Hollywood, you and I were all black hair."
Ma Weidu's head buzzed, and he remembered that she was He Tai, who was active in The Lotus Dao at that time. It took him a long time to confirm this fact, and now the woman looked much older and weaker.
Is she really the graceful and elegant Mrs. He of that year? He couldn't help but sigh that the years were really merciless, and the wind and sword were forced to be severe!
Ma Weidu took the initiative to ask for a group photo with He Tai and her husband He Anda, and probably no one thought that this would be the last photo of Ma Weidu and He Tai, and the last time he and He Tai would meet.
Hearing the news of He Tai again, it was she who auctioned all the important collections in Fengwen Hall, and Ma Wei knew that those collections were the painstaking efforts of He Tai's life, and if she had not encountered difficulties, she would definitely not have auctioned these things off.
A few months later, Mrs. Ho was gone, and the last great thing in her life was to auction all her private collections back into society, back to the next owner who loved them, as Ma Weidu often said, compared with the cultural relics that have existed for thousands of years, we are just passers-by.
What He Tai left ma Weidu with was a good memory, and he wrote in the book "Back Shadow": Death is the end of everyone's life, not the goal. We as mortals only care about the scenery and fate on the way, the scenery will always be the scenery, and the fate may pass by, at this time I and He Tai have been separated by yin and yang, but in the end we will meet in another world.
