Even if he is 69 years old, it seems that the era that belongs to Zeng Zhiwei has not yet passed: since his debut at the age of 19, Zeng Zhiwei has always been in the entertainment industry, even if there are three works in succession last year.
And his eldest daughter Zeng Baoyi, who debuted early, chose to quietly disappear 6 years ago and no longer asked about things in the entertainment industry.
On the contrary, his younger brother Zeng Guoxiang, who debuted in 2001 with the movie "Ghost Love Letter", has now become a first-line director with works such as "July and Ansheng" and "Young You".
There is no doubt that as a popular big brother in the Hong Kong circle, Zeng Zhiwei's life has been brilliant and successful, but few people know that Zeng Baoyi and Zeng Guoxiang were not born of a mother.
Zeng Baoyi's birth mother, named Wang Meihua, was also a famous singer with great style, but she married Zeng Zhiwei at the age of 18, and after three years, she would rather give up her two daughters and 50 million parting fees to be fed, and also go out of the house.
Years later, her daughter, Zeng Baoyi, publicly said that she would reconcile with her mother, but before that, she could not understand her mother's feelings of leaving her and her sister.
What kind of a story of love and hate is this?
Minor, married as someone else's wife
Wang Meihua was born in Taipei in 1956 to a poor family of seven, crammed into a small low house, with only her father earning money to make ends meet.
Years later, she recalled the experience and said bluntly: "There is not enough money to buy vegetables, let alone send the children to study." ”
Fortunately, Wang Meihua was born sweet and had a good voice, so at the age of 12, she went to work in a song hall to earn money.
Just like many famous singers such as Mei Yanfang, they all had the experience of selling songs in their early childhood, and Wang Meihua was also one of them.
After singing in the song hall for two years, she has become a "pillar of the stage", and she was lucky enough to be signed into a local song and dance troupe, and also went to Hong Kong with the troupe to perform.
During one performance, Wang Meihua met 20-year-old Tsang Chi-wai, the son of Hong Kong Inspector Tsang Kai-wing.
At that time, Zeng Qirong was rich and powerful, and was also the majority shareholder of a song and dance troupe, but he was later wanted for corruption and eventually died in Taiwan.
At that time, Zeng Zhiwei was working as a football player, and it is said that he also entered the industry with a playful mentality.
And this is also reflected in his attitude to marriage, after meeting Wang Meihua, he quickly pursued it.
As for why she agreed to Zeng Zhiwei's pursuit, many years later Wang Meihua bluntly said: "Because of vanity" - at that time, Zeng Qirong often went to the song and dance troupe to see her, and the other sisters would also eat free lunch together.
Don't look at Zeng Zhiwei, who is not tall, but he is a big man to his underage girlfriend Wang Meihua, who said that he told her at the time: "You are my girlfriend, you should listen to me." ”
When Wang Meihua was 18 years old, Zeng Qirong and his wife organized a grand wedding for the two, and Zeng Zhiwei also held a "very fun" mentality and married each other.
And he himself knows that in fact, the people who value this marriage more are actually their parents - because Zeng Zhiwei has a very heavy heart, they expect to marry a stable and obedient daughter-in-law, to tie up the young heart of their son, and by the way, to realize the wish of holding their grandchildren as soon as possible.
Some time before the marriage, Zeng Zhiwei also gave Wang Meihua a "lesson", telling her: "I may have to go out and play for three years, and I will come back." ”
In the face of such an unequal "treaty", Wang Meihua, who was born in a slum, still decided to marry, and her reason was simple:
"My husband's family is very rich, so someone will help me support my mother's family."
On the day of the wedding, Wang Meihua and Zeng Zhiwei held a very grand wedding, and she later recalled that because there were too many celebrities that came that day, she knelt on her knees just by toasting tea.
Then, the bride was left alone in the empty room for 3 days - it turned out that the groom immediately went out to play for three days and three nights, and did not come home.
And this, for the newly married Yan'er Wang Meihua, is just the beginning.
21 years old, choose to leave the house
After that, Zeng Zhiwei entered the film and television circle with the mentality of "playing and playing", and initially learned martial arts, but to put it bluntly, he was still young and vigorous, mixed with fox friends, and did not want to go home.
At the beginning, Wang Meihua did her duty as a daughter-in-law, quickly became pregnant, and gave up the good business that was slowly unfolding, staying at home every day.
It is said that Zeng Qirong hurt this daughter-in-law very much, but the helpless person in the family is the mother-in-law.
In this context of no pain for her husband and very strong mother-in-law, Wang Meihua, who is less than 20 years old, has given birth to two daughters in three consecutive years, the eldest daughter is Zeng Baoyi, and the younger daughter is called Zeng Yongyi.
Even on the day of childbirth, Zeng Zhiwei did not show up, and she had to receive demonstration calls from strange women from time to time: "Zeng Zhiwei is with me..."
In the face of this dilemma, Wang Meihua carried the gratitude of "the in-laws' family has improved the life of the mother-in-law"; at the same time, she was afraid of her future life without light.
Finally, when the eldest daughter Zeng Baoyi was 3 years old, the 21-year-old chose to run away from home and only carried 500 yuan in her arms.
Zeng Zhiwei also once complained to her: when they lived together, she never said a word of 'no' to him, but she resolutely left.
It is said that when choosing a divorce, the husband's family once said that they would give her 50 million yuan in divorce fees, but she did not take anything and did not take away her daughters.
This incident later became a thorn in their hearts, and Wang Meihua regretted it many years later:
"If I do it again, even if I become a beggar, I will not leave them behind."
And Zeng Baoyi obviously once could not understand her mother's choice that year, but after a long time, she finally understood: her mother, who was only 20 years old at the time, was really desperate.
In the same year that Wang Meihua decided to divorce, Zeng Qirong was accused of embezzlement, and he fled to Taiwan the following year when he became a seller and never returned to Hong Kong until his death.
After a long time, Zeng Zhiwei once hinted when he was a guest of "Kangxi Lai" that Wang Meihua chose to leave after realizing that the Zeng family was about to fall.
After Wang Meihua and Zeng Zhiwei divorced, they did stay in Hong Kong for a while, earning money by singing to support themselves, and they would also send them back to their mother's family to subsidize the family.
On the other hand, Zeng Zhiwei quickly found another family, he married Zhu Xizhen, an outsider, and the pace of childbirth was comparable to that of a rocket, Zhu Xizhen was still a three-year hug, and gave birth to sons Zeng Guoxiang and Zeng Guoyou in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
Wang Meihua traveled to Europe, and it is said that she was married to a clothing merchant, but eventually ended in divorce.
In 1988, Wang Meihua returned to Taiwan to develop and chose to live next door to her former in-laws' house in order to take care of her two daughters.
At that time, Zeng Baoyi was 15 years old, in the rebellious period, for her mother's non-farewell to the year, and she did not have parents to accompany her since she was young, and recalled this paragraph many years later, using a sentence "I started to learn to be a daughter too late" to express her mood.
More than half a hundred years old, he once pursued love
Although not around her parents, Zeng Baoyi was very good, she was always the daughter of heaven at school when she was studying, and later she was admitted to the Department of Sociology of National Taiwan University, and also did behind-the-scenes work in the school's drama club.
Influenced by her parents' work, Zeng Baoyi also chose to enter the entertainment industry, becoming a host since 1995, and later releasing albums and acting in movies.
In the millennium, Zeng Baoyi, who had developed smoothly for several years, fell into the love affair between Huang Ziling and Xiao S, and could not extricate herself, which later made her career also fall into a bottleneck.
During this period, Wang Meihua once publicly opposed it, she did not support her daughter's relationship, nor did she like Huang Ziyou, and also publicly counted the "three major crimes" of the other party.
Two years later, Zeng Baoyi's career was damaged, and in order to help her daughter, Wang Meihua also re-emerged from the jianghu and hosted a food program "Bao Ma Bao Mei Happy Soup" with her daughter.
After that, the 46-year-old Wang Meihua had a new name: "Bao Ma", and later appeared in the entertainment circle on the island from time to time, and played with some juniors.
Moreover, she did not care about the previous suspicions, once frequently appeared on various variety show announcements with her ex-husband Zeng Zhiwei, and even accompanied her when her former father-in-law died.
Just at the stage when everything seemed warm and smooth, Wang Meihua suddenly made a vigorous sister-brother love.
Her love object is named Jiang Jianmin, born in 1968, just one round younger than Wang Meihua, and the two are friends who have known each other for a long time.
In the end, this "sister-brother love" was exposed in May 2012, when Zeng Baoyi was almost out of the circle.
At that time, some media exposed that Jiang Jianmin's ex-girlfriend was crying and complaining that Wang Meihua's underwear was found at home, and Jiang Jianmin immediately came out to deny it.
However, Wang Meihua indirectly admitted the relationship between the two in an interview, and directly said: "The identity he is now around him, no one can replace." ”
However, this relationship lasted less than three years, because of the huge questions that constantly poured in from the outside world: some people felt that the man was a "soft rice man"; some people felt that the woman was "nibbling on tender grass"...
By 2015, they were photographed by the media eating at restaurants and had stopped communicating the whole time.
Then they broke the news of the breakup, when it was revealed that the man was in debt of millions, making Wang Meihua insecure and cutting off the love thread.
But for this statement, she replied on the talk show "Xiaoyan Night" that it was because the two were together and caused great pressure on each other.
At the beginning of 2020, Wang Jianmin was photographed shopping with his stable cohabiting girlfriend, when he looked unusually vicissitudes, and it was said that he was indeed carrying a huge debt, but he was still slowly paying it back.
At this time, Wang Meihua was battling cancer, in fact, she had been diagnosed with the disease since 2004, but she had been actively treating it and had survived it safely.
Subsequently, Wang Meihua, who recovered from illness, also appeared on variety shows such as "Single Can't Do It", telling his anti-cancer story, optimistic and sober, quick thinking, and more rarely: smiling like a flower.
In January last year, Zeng Baoyi posted photos of herself and her mother on social platforms to celebrate Wang Meihua's 65th birthday.
Nowadays, looking at the "bao mama" who has entered the society since the age of 12, she really deserves a sentence of "the years are quiet".
Perhaps, everyone's life will encounter blows and twists and turns, but it is rare to always have a strong heart and sober judgment, whether it is adversity or trough, always live in a dashing manner.
