Lu Yanqun, Hong Kong's 98-year-old first woman, held a simple funeral in Hong Kong and was subsequently buried next to her husband Li Xiaohe's cemetery. It has been 42 years since Li Xiaohe's death, and now 42 years later, the couple is finally reunited.
Lu Yanqun himself was born in a rich family, and his husband's family is Hong Kong's old four giants, but this time Lu Yanqun's funeral is very simple, and even a Hong Kong rich man, celebrity, and star have not been invited. Lu Yanqun has a high status in Hong Kong, and after the news of her death was announced, major television stations in Hong Kong have reported the news, and Wang Mingquan, Zeng Zhiwei and other entertainment industry tycoons have mourned Lu Yanqun. In addition, a sister in the political circles also publicly mourned Lu Yanqun.
It is reasonable to say that the Li family should arrange a solemn funeral for Lu Yanqun, which is in line with Lu Yanqun's status. The year before Ho Hung-sun died, the funeral lasted for three days, Lui Chi-ho, Yang Shou-shing, Zhao Shizeng, Zhou Kaixuan and other rich people came to the scene, and the Fuling figures were even more sensational in Hong Kong and Macao. In addition, many Hong Kong citizens also spontaneously came to send Ho Hung-sun off and pay their respects.
Lu Yanqun's reputation in Hong Kong is also very good, if the Li family is willing, many big people will certainly come uninvited, and even many citizens will spontaneously come to send them off.
Many giants regard the funeral as an important display opportunity, on the one hand, they can have a good relationship with other giants, and on the other hand, they can also show their strength to the society. The funeral is, to put it bluntly, for the living.
So why didn't the Li family do this this time, but instead engaged in a low-key manner? How low-key Lu Yanqun's funeral was, he placed a wreath at the entrance of the elevator, and then participated in the Li family's own people, and did not invite any reporters to participate, and even Lu Yanqun's funeral float did not arrange a plaque, and did not arrange a large-scale convoy. Unexpectedly, even Li Xianbin, the son of Lu Yanqun, did not come to participate.
Some people speculate that this is because of the epidemic. At present, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong is very serious, the increase in several consecutive days is to break thousands, the current Hong Kong anti-epidemic is in a state of great pressure, in order not to add chaos, the Li family naturally will not engage in such a large-scale funeral, in addition, even if held, other rich celebrities consider the impact, it is estimated that they will not come.
In fact, when He Hongshen died, there was also an epidemic at that time, but it was not so serious, but the He family still held a large-scale funeral.
In fact, the style of the Eli family, even if there is no epidemic, they will not hold a grand funeral, because this is their style. Lu Yanqun's grandfather, Lu Pengshan, was one of the founders of the Guangdong Bank in Hong Kong, and his father, Lu Wenlan, was once Song Ziwen's secretary. Lu Yan's origin is definitely not simple. Lu Yanqun received a very good education from an early age, and later went to the United States to study and got a degree in business management.
Lu Yanqun married Li Xiaohe, who was 15 years older, in 1949. Li Xiaohe is the third son of Li Xishen, the oldest four richest man in Hong Kong, who followed his eldest brother Li Mingze to study in Britain when he was a teenager. When he was 19 years old, his father was shot dead in the street over a dispute over the interests of the opium business.
Later, Li Xiaohe began to take over the family business. Although his father died suddenly, he left a huge amount of assets, the most valuable of which was a huge piece of land in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. At that time, the land was bought by Lihesin for 3.8 million yuan in 1923. Originally, these plots were intended to grow opium.
However, Hong Kong was smoked against smoking, so Li Hysan's plan failed. Later, when his father died, Li Xiaohe built the land into a Liyuan playground and a Li stage, and the profit was naturally not as good as the opium business, but it was also good.
Perhaps because of the disgraceful history of their fortunes, the Lee family was very low-key in Hong Kong, they rarely participated in other magnate gatherings, and their business rarely went out of Causeway Bay. Lee Hsiao-ho founded TVB with Run Run Shaw in the 1960s and started United Soda Company himself, but his really lucrative business is in The Causeway Bay estate.
Li Xiaohe continued to demolish old properties, and then built new shopping malls and office buildings, all of which were used to collect rent. In 1980, Li Xiaohe died of a heart attack, and Then Lu Yanqun began to take over the family business. After Lu Yanqun took over, he sold her husband's other businesses and vigorously developed the real estate business in Causeway Bay.
In the early 1990s, Lu Yanqun had the opportunity to cooperate with Li Ka-shing to invest in Oriental Plaza in Beijing. We all know that this project is known as a project that Li Ka-shing kills and does not sell, and the project is located in the most core area of Beijing, only 1 km from the Forbidden City. Today, this project is also the most profitable commercial real estate project in the mainland, with an annual revenue of about 3 billion yuan.
However, Lu Yanqun eventually gave up cooperating with Li Ka-shing and stuck to Causeway Bay. This is not because Lu Yanqun has no vision, but because Lu Yanqun prefers to keep a low profile rather than be in the limelight. Their family's history has always been disgraceful, and if it is too high-profile, then it is disgusting. This is also where Lu Yanqun and the whole Li family are very smart.
Before Lu Yanqun's granddaughter got married, the Li family did not hold a century wedding, but simply held a warm wedding at home. The style of Lu Yanqun's entire family is completely different from that of other giants in Hong Kong, and they have less contact with other giants.
Lu Yanqun herself has always maintained the style of an old-school family celebrity, she tries to keep a low profile in society, but she pursues a very delicate personal life. When Lu Yanqun was in his 90s, every time he went out, he still wore exquisite light makeup, and Lu Yanqun's favorite was the makeup of peacock green.
In addition, Lu Yanqun's hair is always meticulously combed, and almost every time he goes out, he wears a delicate cheongsam and wears a variety of expensive jewelry. Lu Yanqun's hands and feet are all graceful and rich.
Lu Yanqun is a smart person, she pursues the ultimate enjoyment of personal life, but does not pursue the false name of society, the family has been making a lot of money in a muffled voice, and does not pursue the ranking on the wealth list. The Lu Yanqun family has assets of more than 10 billion yuan on the wealth list, in fact, their assets are at least more than 100 billion, and the property value of Causeway Bay alone is nearly 100 billion.
In this world, some people are pursuing profits, and some people are seeking fame, but Lu Yanqun is another kind of person, and she pursues a personal exquisite life. Lu Yanqun's life can be called open and hanging, his grandfather and father are big people, his husband is also a rich man, and several children are also successful in their careers. Lu Yanqun's daughter Li Yunlian inherited the family business, another daughter married Barley, a descendant of Kowloon Bus, and his son Li Xianbin had his own listed company in Australia. Lu Yanqun's life is absolutely enviable.
