On April 5, Wang Xinping, a jade female singer in the 1990s, posted on social media platforms that her father Wang Yu died of illness at the age of 80.
Subsequently, a number of stars engaged in martial arts movies, Jackie Chan, Zhen Zidan, and Zhao Wenzhuo all sent tributes.
The latest news is that her daughter Wang Xinping has rushed from Hong Kong to Taiwan, and after completing the quarantine, a memorial service will be held on the 28th.
Who is Wang Yu?
Probably now readers are a little unfamiliar with this name, just like Zhen Zidan said, Wang Yu is his "childhood idol", it can be seen that he became popular in the 60s and 70s of the last century, and the masterpiece "One-Armed Knife" that is often mentioned by people is a 1967 movie, I am afraid that many readers have not yet been born, I am afraid that some readers' parents have not yet been born...
Because of the long time, Wang Yu's influence in the mainland is far less than that of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan after him, although in terms of generations, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan must call him a predecessor.
▲ Wang Yu and Bruce Lee are stars of the same era, and Wang Yu said that Bruce Lee in this photo is not very happy because he broke his wrist and lost to Wang Yu.
In Wang Yu's time, Hong Kong films were still in the bud, and there was no entertainment to speak of in the mainland, but 1967's "One-Armed Knife" was obviously an epoch-making film, and it can be said that it showed the charm of oriental martial arts films for the first time.
Wang Yu's knife technique and his fierce heroic posture have set the tone for the development of Hong Kong kung fu films, and have also created many Hong Kong teenagers obsessed with dancing knives and guns.
Later, the most bullish martial arts movies in Hong Kong movies and the ancient puzzle boy and police gangster movies, if they are rooted in the roots, are related to this "One-Armed Knife", after all, the jianghu, loyalty, chivalry, the contest between justice and evil are the keywords of "One-Armed Knife", and it is also the most prominent spiritual core of Hong Kong movies, so it can be said that it is the origin of kung fu film culture.
Wang Yu is also influential in the West, and many big foreign directors such as Quentin have said that Wang Yu is the embodiment of the mysterious martial arts of the East in their hearts, while Zhen Zidan said that he is the "founding father" of kung fu movies, which is indeed not excessive.

As far as the Hong Kong film industry itself is concerned, Wang Yu's "One-Armed Knife" can be described as supporting a whole large IP industry chain, according to the statistics of "Adventure Movie": "Wang Yu started from "One-Armed Knife" in 1967 to the end of "One-Armed Man vs One-Armed Man" in 1977, and filmed 8 one-armed themes in 10 years. ”
Even because the audience is too obsessed with the one-arm series, Hong Kong and Japan have co-produced a play, made two endings, and taken care of two groups of audiences.
▲ Wang Yu entered the Japanese film industry with "One-Armed Knife Vs Blind Man", which gave two different endings to take care of the emotions of the audience in the two places, the Japanese version is the blind man who wants the life of the one-armed knife, and the Hong Kong version is the one-armed knife that wins the blind man.

Here is a very interesting little thing, in 2017, a movie website in the United States once did a statistic, listing the top 15 "killing kings" who killed the most people on the screen, the champion is Wang Yu, a total of 2477 people died in his hands... It can be seen how much content was produced around Wang Yu in Hong Kong movies in those years.
▲ Wang Yu, who was handsome in his youth, was the prince charming of the female audience of that era.
It is completely a top brother in martial arts movies, but the great achievements in his career are not to mention it, we want to talk about him in life today.
Although he is an old predecessor, looking back at Wang Yu's life, there are absolute ups and downs, and many big-name stars have intricate relationships, including many unexpected "red-faced confidants". In the years when Hong Kong cinema was booming, Wang Yu was happy to be in the jianghu, not only in his career, but also emotionally...
So let's string together, what little-known anecdotes are hidden in the "Father of Kung Fu Films"?
“
Star marriage with "human wife" Lin Cui
Wang Yu was born in Shanghai, the family is rich, his father opened a cloth factory, rice factory, flour factory, all of which are monopolistic industries related to the lifeline of the people, so Wang Yu grew up in a hugely rich family, and he is the eldest of the six brothers and sisters.
Gui is a brother of the gongzi, of course, moral, intellectual and physical all-round development, Wang Yu in high school is already a school swimmer, the lifestyle is Westernized, the eight-pack abs are particularly eye-catching, and the family gives him the best education and training.
However, the times were strange, and in the blink of an eye, during the Cultural Revolution, the family property was confiscated, and the family fled to Hong Kong. Even if he fled, the Wang family is also a rich family, he later showed his mansion, the paintings on the wall are the family adventures of the year, there are nail marks on the paintings, it can be seen that the Wang family's life in Hong Kong is still very good.
▲ The family prince often loves things, Wang Yu loves all kinds of jade gold crystals for ten minutes, and the stained glass lamp on the table is also expensive, and now this Tiffany lamp is hundreds of thousands of dollars in the auction hall.
This is the background of Wang Yu's growth, he is a brother who has never suffered hardships and has always lived in gold and jade food. Coupled with the sense of superiority of Shanghainese in the Chinese world at that time (at that time, Hong Kong people were very admiring of Shanghainese, because Shanghai was the most prosperous and elegant city in the whole of China), all of which created Wang Yu's character, who acted spontaneously all his life and did not think much about the consequences.
After talking about Wang Yu, let's talk about his first wife, Lin Cui. When it comes to family background, Lin Cui and Wang Yu are simply too matched.
Lin Cui is also a Shanghai native, her father graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, and she was also an elite figure of the year, Lin Cui was the second oldest in the family, and she also had an older brother, Zeng Guanyi, who later changed his name to Zeng Jiang, yes, the movie star you all know.
▲ Sister and brother, don't they look like each other?
Also encountered the Cultural Revolution, Lin Cui's family fled to Hong Kong; also received elite education, Lin Cui also loved swimming, diving, and even riding archery, golf and hunting, like sports, like the trendy way of life, is the most typical "independent women" and "modern women" of that era.
▲ Lin Cui is very similar to Faye Wong in some angles, which proves that the beauty of the entertainment industry is also typed, and generations of people like these types of stars.
Such a match, similar family background, consistent hobbies, lang talent and female appearance, and are all Shanghainese, is this marriage not a natural creation?
But in fact, this marriage developed particularly bloodily, the reason is that when Lin Cui and Wang Yu were good, she was already a married woman...
Here we have to mention Lin Cui's first marriage.
Lin Cui is also a pampered little princess, and her encounters when she was young were very smooth. When she was in high school in Hong Kong, she often participated in drama performances, and after graduation, the film company wanted to recruit actors, and the arrogant Lin Cui signed up, and also wrote a self-recommendation letter, which read: "I am seventeen years old, just meet your requirements, I have all the conditions you have, please hire." ”
During the interview, one of the examiners sitting below was named Qin Jian, who was a very famous director at that time, and it was he who hired Lin Cui with great insight.
In the first test, Huang Zhuohan and director Qin Jian asked questions in Chinese, and Lin Cui, who was not Chinese, could not explain them one by one, and finally answered them in English, and many questions were answered in "NO".
It is reasonable to say that she is hopeless, but Qin Jian has a unique vision, thinking that she is pure and unpretentious, and her courage is good, which represents the typical example of a pure female student, so he appointed her out of the box.
After being hired, he entered the International Film Mao Industry Co., Ltd. as a full-fledged actor, and Lin Cui quickly became a popular movie star with his eccentric and enthusiastic and cheerful personality. Because he played a primary school teacher in "Sister With Long Legs", he was known as a "student lover".
Women's dress for men is also particularly attractive.
Become one of the "Five Golden Flowers" of Denmao.
▲ In its heyday, there were five major actresses: Glen, Lin Dai, Ye Feng, You Min, and Lin Cui.
▲ In 1960, the Denmao delegation participated in the Asian Film Festival held in Kuala Lumpur, and the red circle was Lin Cui.
▲ Lin Cui and Glen strolling in the streets of Hong Kong, the most fashionable and beautiful woman, Gülen later married the gambling king family, is the old lady of Fushou Shuangquan, we have written the story of their meal gathering, here can be recalled.
Lin Cui quickly became popular, and the marriage also landed.
Her husband is the great director Qin Jian, who was wise and pearl-wise, and met her in his teens, and brought her up with one hand, the director and the actress, the talent and the beauty, the absolute cultivation system, the most dreamy combination in the year.
Such a fantastic start, no one can refuse. Lin Cui married the director at the age of 23, and her wedding can be called a major event in the entire film circle, and the entire electric mao is even more star-studded.
After marriage, the two went to Europe for their honeymoon.
After returning, Lin Cui gave birth to his son Shan He.
Crooked building, this Chen Shanhe, as the only son of Lin Cui, was favored by his mother for twelve points, and later entered the entertainment circle with the help of his mother, joined "Happy Tonight", acted as a music host, released albums, and acted in movies.
Only later, his father died, his mother Lin Cui also died, Chen Shanhe had no backing, and his income deteriorated, gradually fading out of the entertainment circle.
▲ Lin Cui and Chen Shanhe.
▲ With the help of his mother, he played some small roles, later became a music host, and later lived in seclusion in Shanghai.
Lin Cui and Qin Jian seemed to be a very harmonious and happy marriage, but without paying attention, Wang Yu appeared.
According to Lin Cui's recollection, at that time, Wang Yu often appeared on the set to be funny, making Lin Cui happy, and a large group of friends often played mahjong together; Wang Yu recalled that one year, Lin Cui wanted to go to the suburbs to cut down Christmas trees, Wang Yu went to help, even if it was the first time two people were alone, one came and went.
Lin Cui said that at that time, her attitude was very hesitant, although she liked each other, but she did not want to develop into a lover as much as possible, after all, she was married, and Wang Yu said, "I don't want anyone but you."
In fact, when Lin Cui knew Wang Yu, her husband Qin Jian's career had gone downhill, the film was not popular, and at the same time, he was addicted to gambling, Lin Cui and he often broke out into contradictions, and the marriage basically existed in name only.
Later, Wang Yu and Lin Cui repeatedly stressed on different occasions that we had nothing to do with Lin Cui's divorce together, "At that time, her family life was not very pleasant."
But apparently Wang Yu's offensive eventually made Lin Cui decide to separate from Qin Jian and divorce him. A reporter has photographed Lin Cui signing a separation agreement in London, and Wang Yu was with him.
The most sensational part of this matter is that Qin Jian finally committed suicide in 1969 due to the pressure of being overwhelmed (economic and family).
On the second day after Qin Jian's suicide, Wang Yu and Lin Cui held a press conference hand in hand, saying that they had nothing to do with Qin Jian's suicide, lin Cui also showed all kinds of IOUs that Qin Jian had gambled debts over the years, and burst into tears, Wang Yu held Lin Cui's hand in front of the media in a higher profile, declaring that he would always love Lin Cui.
▲ Lin Cui and Wang Yu walked into the press conference with a solemn look, when Lin Cui was already pregnant with Wang Yu's child.
At that time, Wang Yu's most cattle movie "One-Armed Knife" was showing great power, he was already the "first student of martial arts", so this high-profile conference was a major event that attracted countless eyes, and Wang Yu became the most talked about star in Hong Kong.
Qin Jian committed suicide in June 1969, Wang Yu and Lin Cui were officially married at the end of 1969, the sister and brother love to cultivate the right results, in that era, Lin Cui and Wang Yu's actions were simply a big deal in the world, public opinion was in a big uproar, which is also the reason why the two people later went to Taiwan to develop, because the conservative Hong Kong audience is absolutely unable to accept such a screen couple.
Since then, the couple has frequently appeared in the media camera as a celebrity couple, and Lin Cui has also begun to have children one after another. He had three daughters, namely the eldest queen Xinping, the second queen Garu, and the third queen Meiyi.
▲ Three daughters grow up. They all inherited their mother's thick eyebrows and big eyes.
But unfortunately, this marriage did not have a fairytale ending, don't look at the two people breaking through many obstacles to come together, but the married life lasted only six years, and the two officially divorced in 1975.
Because of frequent pregnancies and daughters during marriage, Lin Cui's acting career has basically disappeared, and after the divorce, in 1977, he moved to San Francisco with his daughter, opened a restaurant, and lived a worry-free life.
In the 1980s, he made a comeback in the film industry and acted in several movies, acting in The Taiwanese TV series "No Love", "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Passed seventy times" and so on.
In 1995, Lin Cui died of an asthma attack while living alone and did not receive timely treatment.
There was another star who died for the same reason that year, and she was Teresa Teresa. So the media said that these were the two most shocking obituarys in Taipei in 1995.
Many stars appeared in Lin Cui's funeral, including the girlfriends who were in Denmao at that time. Gülen also wrote a picture for Lin Cui: "It is difficult to be a husband, it is also difficult to teach children, it is difficult to be bitter, not to complain about the sky, not to be special, the fate of a lifetime; acting is alive, moving feelings is more lively, pretending to be happy and strong, being able to tolerate things, being able to have nothing, half a god." ”
Gülen cried bitterly.
There are also many young singers and actors.
▲Zhang Aijia.
▲Chen Jieling. At the memorial service, she sang Lin Cui's favorite song "The Wind Under the Wings".
Of course, Wang Yu also went...
Daughter Wang Xinping and half-brother Chen Shanhe are sad and unable to sustain themselves.
The Si people here have passed away, and Wang Yu over there has already accelerated into a new life.
When Lin Cui just died, there was a talk show in Taiwan that interviewed Wang Yu, it was the fleshy "Rose Covenant", the host recalled Lin Cui's life's love and hate with emotion, and the words were extremely beautiful, but Wang Yu's eyes have always been cold, the host let him evaluate Lin Cui, he only said "She is a boy's personality."
The two of them looked back at Lin Cui's image before his death together, and Wang Yu's eyes revealed an indescribable indifference.
Compared with the hand-in-hand development conference and the determination to say "no one but you and me", the current situation makes people sigh in vain. Probably this is the essence of the so-called love, the clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle, and the heart will be broken.
“
Let go of the gossip of the self
Since divorcing Lin Cui, Wang Yu has freed herself on the road of emotion. He once revealed a very shocking past to himself, saying that he was in love with Lin Qingxia.
"I also had a relationship with Lin Qingxia, and I taught her to drive. The girls I like, I chase after them, go to dinner together, go to nightclubs to listen to songs, make friends, no big deal. ”
But this is not bragging, in fact, the two should have really had a short period. In May 1976, there was a report in the "Tv Comprehensive Weekly":
In Manila, Lin Qingxia stayed for only three days before leaving, but Wang Yu also chased after Her to Manila and accompanied Lin Qingxia for two days.
In the coronation ceremony, Shen Dianxia's visit with Lin Qingxia was very interesting, Shen asked Lin who came to Manila with him this time, Lin Qingxia said: "Mom! Shen asked, "What else?" Lin said: "Movie stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan! Shen asked again, "What else?" Lin Qingxia looked down and smiled, and only then did she say, "No! Shen chased after him again, "And Wang Yu!" Lin Qingxia's face was flushed, but she said, "He's just an ordinary friend!" ”
Wang Yu did not appear during Lin Qingxia's visits to the mayor of Manila, parades, welcome receptions, and coronation ceremonies, and was accompanied by Lin Qingxia at other times, but Mama Lin was also with the two.
In 1976, Wang Yu was 33 years old, had just divorced, and had not yet started a second marriage; Lin Qingxia was 22 years old, just in her youth, and had just won the Best Actress Award at the 22nd Asia-Pacific Film Festival for the movie "Eight Hundred Heroes".
It's just that during that time, Lin Qingxia and Qin Han were still in the love and hate between good and bad, probably a short empty window period, and they didn't take it seriously.
In 1979, Lin Qingxia was injured and left the United States, and at that time Wang Yu also married a flight attendant bride, but many years later, After a long time, Wang Yu would still put a love affair with Qingxia on his lips, saying that their relationship was not as simple as holding a small hand, but he was a man and a decent gentleman, and now That Qingxia had married and was not suitable for mentioning it again.
Later, Wang Yu also revealed that he and Lin Fengjiao, Cui Mojing and others were in love. In the section of Cui Mojing, when Wang Yu posted her mansion in his later years, he showed reporters her photos:
He also drew several black-and-white or color photos from under the plastic table mats in South Asia, one of which was Cui Weijing, and after the photo was written, "Brother Wang, don't forget me!" Wang Yu said of love history as usual, "I have chased her, we have 'patted and dragged', she is very sexy, and people are very sweet." ”
▲ Cui Tijing, a Taiwanese singer, became popular in the 70s and 80s, deeply rooted in people's hearts with a beautiful and sexy image, and was the earliest sexy specialty in the Chinese circle, which was known as "Oriental Marilyn" at that time.
Ending the many scandals with female stars in the entertainment industry, Wang Yu's second marriage occurred in 1978, when the 38-year-old Wang Yu married a 21-year-old flight attendant Wang Kaizhen lightning in Hawaii, and the wedding in Taiwan was the only Rolls-Royce luxury vehicle in Taiwan at that time, which was high-profile.
In the first half of this long marriage, the flight attendant Wang Kaizhen single-mindedly helped Wang Yu bring up three children, but she has not had children, but after more than twenty years, the drawbacks of old and young love have also appeared.
Wang Kaizhen was only in his early forties in his prime, and Wang Yu was already an old man who was almost sixty years old, and he had been silent for a long time, in December 1999, Wang Yu personally directed a family scandal, that is, the flight attendant's wife Hongxing went out of the wall and was caught and raped by the hero Wang Yu in bed:
Wang Yu led the police to an apartment, and on the spot caught Wang Kaizhen having an affair with Zhang Zhao, a man who was the general manager of Beiyi Xingye Company at the time, and it was rumored that Wang Yu shouted inside the door at the moment of kicking the door: "Merry Christmas & happy new year!" This sentence has also become a "famous saying for catching adultery.".
It is reasonable to say that the ugliness of the family is not exaggerated, but Wang Yu is used to the pursuit of the media, nothing to say to people, but also quite expressive, and later he also revealed that he met an adulterer many years later:
"He could still sit down, walked over to me and nodded hello, whispered 'I broke up with her', and I said 'It doesn't matter!' Listen well, after I am where I am, without you; I see you again, and you don't want to go out'. Wang Yu couldn't help himself, and Zhang Zhao quickly disappeared with a cigarette and fled for his life.
In fact, after middle age, Wang Yu's career was parabolic and fell all the way.
Half of it is because he is strong and unrestrained, does not cherish feathers, is often involved in gangster slashing incidents, the film and television image is not good, and the job opportunities are less; half because of health reasons, he has experienced stroke and two craniotomy surgeries in the later stage, and when he appears in the public eye again, he is already an old man.
▲When he was young, he was involved in underworld disputes.
▲ Because he is a big predecessor in the martial arts industry, he was invited to play the villain in the movie "Wuxia" in 2011, and he had a rivalry with Zhen Zidan.
▲ 2013 movie "Lost Soul". It was his last film, and he was old at this point.
▲After the first stroke, in 2013, Wang Yu can still attend the "Asian Star Awards" in Busan, South Korea with a cane to receive the Best Actor Award.
How people will grow old, how to be healthy, how to live, is the top priority, and the red dust anecdotes of the first half of life have gradually been buried in the depths of the times.
“
In his lonely old age, he lived alone in a palace-like mansion with splendor
In his later years, Wang Yu was accompanied by illness for many years, which was very troublesome, but his unbridled and spontaneous jianghu personality did not change at all, the most prominent example of which was that he owned a jaw-dropping palace-style mansion.
Wang Yu is indeed not short of money in his youth and adulthood, the family has an inheritance, and he can earn it himself. At that time, he liked to buy a mansion, and the most proud of it was the Yangmingshan Villa he bought during his marriage to Lin Cui.
Wang Yu's Yangmingshan Villa is located on the second section of Yangde Avenue, with excellent landscape view, and is a high-end residential section of Yangmingshan. This is Wang Yu in 1973 to Taifeng President Huang Zonghong's mother Huang Ye Dongmei purchased, the land area of a total of more than 500 ping, but also he built his own decoration, a total cost of 30 million yuan, more than 50 years ago in Taipei Zhongxiao East Road land, a ping is only 8,000 yuan, Wang Yu spent 30 million yuan to build a mansion in one breath, the handwriting and courage are very large.
Later, Wang Yu lost his investment and sold the villa.
But don't look at the little money in your hand, Wang Yu still has a villa dream in his heart, he turned to the "Great Taipei Huacheng" in a different location to buy a house. This area is in the middle of the mountainside, perennial clouds and fog, wet and tide, up the mountain for half an hour, down the mountain for half an hour, in fact, not very livable (so later Wang Yu wanted to sell the house, it is not very good to sell).
The location is not good, but the victory is cheap, Wang Yu bought 1100 ping of land, bought land to build himself, smashed 300 million Taiwan dollars to create a 2-story mansion with a basement, and later he no longer has film works, this super mansion full of his painstaking efforts and taste has become an important place for him to accept media interviews - although he no longer shoots, but Lao Tzu has money and can afford to live in a mansion.
Where is this mansion "Strange"?
Because Wang Yu was intoxicated with gorgeous European style, he single-handedly arranged the decoration of the entire villa, resulting in this mansion presenting a strange golden and brilliant atmosphere, from chandeliers, statues and even toilets to shining gold, like a miniature version of the palace.
Media Visits:
After stepping into the entrance, the reporter could not help but exclaim, as far as the eye could see, from the table, chair, facade, paintings, decorations are all inlaid with gold, magnificent like european royalty.
Wang Yu smiled and pointed to the Bakara crystal hanging lamp at the door and said: "This lamp is 3 meters 2 high from the crystal ball to the chain, I bought it from France, and it cost 5 million yuan more than 20 years ago." ”
Further on, the statue of the goddess at the door of the large living room is 2 million, a door is 700,000, and even the toilet toilet is 820,000, which is staggering.
Wang Yu's home is not only magnificent, but also like a museum, almost every item is an antique, he has a wide variety of collections, the study room is placed on the whole wall of handicrafts, he especially likes the Galle vase, said: "This is a French name, Chinese is a blue and white porcelain vase, foreigners buy Galle, and now a casual auction costs 100,000 US dollars (about 2.95 million Taiwan dollars). "In addition, crystal animal ornaments, small items studded with rubies and sapphires are everywhere.
The basement karaoke room features a 300-year-old antique piano.
There are also special teppanyaki rooms.
Visually measuring about 20 tsubo bedrooms, in addition to large TV sets, skylights, there is also a King Size bed, a gold-rimmed bed frame, and a leopard-print pillow, which is very in line with his usual domineering style.
There is a large fountain in the front yard of Wang Yu's home, walking down the stairs, you can see the 20-meter-long outdoor swimming pool and private garden, Wang Yu revealed that there are 12 large and small fountains in the home, he laughed and said: "The environment here is secret, it is no problem to swim naked." "Even mentioned that there are female stars swimming naked here, indirectly proving that their peach blossom luck has been going on for a long time."
▲ Wang Yu and the children once took photos in front of the fountain.
In the courtyard is a bottle of four-faced Buddha invited from Thailand, and Wang Yu worships every day.
This strange rich mansion, although full of expensive furniture and antiques, gives people a sense of oppression. Many reporters who have been to his home have said that there is too much gold in the home, almost no white space, the whole person can not escape, the eyes are very tired and sore...
At that time, Shen Dianxia also visited this mansion, and the two of them sat in the huge golden hall, which looked particularly funny and absurd...
But what is more obvious than the "absurd" is the loneliness revealed by the palace.
In his later years, Wang Yu lived alone in this huge palace, every brick and tile here showed a strong sense of loneliness, the flight attendant's wife had divorced, the three daughters were married, only he was left, although he left his daughters with their own bedrooms, but the daughters basically did not live here, and Wang Yu was accompanied by several Chihuahuas all year round.
Indoors, his family portraits are displayed everywhere, there are mothers, daughters, and ex-wives, even if they have experienced dog blood with their ex-wives, they still hang pictures of her, after all, she accompanied him throughout middle age, and even kept a photo of the sweet period of the two.
It can be seen that in his later years, Wang Yu was still very afraid of loneliness, and the family portraits on the wall meant that he had once had a perfect family and was once surrounded by people, and he missed this feeling.
After Wang Yu fell ill after a stroke, it was obviously beyond his financial ability to provide for such a mansion. Before his death, the mansion still had to pay a high interest rate every month, and Wang Yu's financial deficit was already very large.
He used to want to sell, but the house was really hard to sell. "Some entrepreneurs mentioned this house, saying that if you want to buy a house, it is better to buy a luxury house in the city, the value-added is high, 'every day up and down the mountain, the clouds come and go in the fog, and it is not necessarily painful to live'."
Before Wang Yu's death, probably this mansion has been sold, a reporter visited the field, there have been some reconstructions, and the mansion is full of bullfrogs, which are jokingly called "bullfrog mansions" by neighbors:
23 to the new store Of Europe Impression Mansion view, neighbors living nearby jokingly called the building "Bullfrog Mansion", the local fangzhong said that as early as 2 years ago, the Wang family only had 1 servant Gu Family, because of the lack of people, bullfrogs invaded, shouting as loud as cattle frogs, so that neighbors next to the mansion were disturbed.
The fountain that Wang Yu was proud of was also changed to a parking lot.
How to say it, this mansion is probably the most direct proof of Wang Yu's personality, and it can best reveal his inner world. As a friend said, when he first built a mansion, he built it with a loan, and the original intention of buying a house was to fight for a breath.
He borrowed eighty million from the bank and bought the current house, and he said, "I have to pay three hundred thousand dollars of interest every month, I have no fixed income, I am very tired." "Why buy such an expensive house?" Wang Yu's tone became agitated, "Buddhas fight for incense, people fight for a breath." The business failed, my wife ran away, I want to prove that I am still doing well, living in a bigger and more luxurious house than before! ”
“
How are the three daughters now?
Finally, a few words about his daughter's recent situation.
The eldest daughter, Wang Xinping, is the best of the three daughters, she completely inherited the advantages of her parents, and when she first debuted, she did have some of Wang Zuxian's charm, which was very moving.
▲ Li Zi and Wang Xinping.
The height is very prominent, and when Zhang Fei's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" was launched, the moment of standing up was still quite amazing.
Wang Xinping has a star flavor, in 1993, a song "Don't Ask Me Who" sang beautifully and movingly, how many people still remember her flower hand?
A group of people sat together, and at a glance, they saw Zheng Yijian on the far left and Wang Xinping on the far right, which is the natural star temperament.
And also very educated, remember that when she was on "Dragon Brother tiger brother", the host let her introduce herself, Wang Xinping said a sentence "There is nothing more amazing than common sense and simplicity." Zhang Fei couldn't even answer the phone for a while...
Wang Xinping had a love affair with Zheng Jiaying in the early years of His life, this story we have written, which can be recalled here.
It was only at that time that he was ruthlessly separated by his father Wang Yu, and it was rumored that Wang Yu also said to reporters, "As soon as I saw him, I knew that there was no problem!" I knew this man as soon as I looked at it. ”
The end of this love is very painful, and later in the movie "Zhiming and Chunjiao", there is a cameo by Wang Xinping, and Yang Qianwei also talked about this matter:
Later, when Zheng Jiaying broke out with "Step by Step", someone turned out the remarks of "no breath", and Wang Xinping also apologized for his father: "All along, I think that Mr. Zheng is a successful and outstanding artist, my father's remarks, I can only apologize deeply as a daughter here." ”
The two are also friends when they meet again:
Later Wang Xinping married the financial rich businessman Li Jiahui, faded out of the singing world, those years there were media said that Wang Xinping lived a relaxed wife's life, Li Jiahui gave her a black card, but Wang Xinping just used it to buy vegetables, Wang Yu mentioned this son-in-law to praise others honestly, saying that the daughter looks very tight, but in fact, men should go out and roll - I believe that the daughter is speechless when she hears this kind of remark.
Husband and wife love so far, Wang Xinping often posted the scene of dinner with family and friends, and her husband will also appear on camera.
▲ Wang Xinping and his uncle Zeng Jiang, aunt Jiao Jiao. Jiao Jiao was the heroine of Wang Yu's "One-Armed Knife", so she met Lin Cui's brother Zeng Jiang and married.
Although far away from the singing world, but Wang Xinping also itchy from time to time, in 2020, with Zhou Huimin and Tang Baoru, sang the famous Song of Baolijin "Sailor Moon" of that year, the three people are more than fifty years old, singing and dancing, the figure is maintained very good, indeed very dedicated...
If you look at the individual play alone, you still don't serve the old...
Wang Xinping may be Wang Yu's favorite daughter, but also because the two people are in the entertainment industry, what large-scale activities are attended together, when Wang Yu won the Golden Horse Award Lifetime Achievement Award, he was unwell and could not attend, it was Wang Xinping who received the award for his father.
At present, Wang Xinping is working as a yoga teacher, opening a yoga studio in Hong Kong and opening classes on YouTube, which seems to be operating ok.
So far, there has been no childbirth, and the usual life is idle and free.
The other two daughters, the second daughter has been staying in Taiwan to take care of her father, there is no information, the younger daughter Wang Meiyi has entered the fashion industry, has worked for LANVIN, Blanc de Chine, TOPPY and other brands, and now seems to be Dior's Taiwan retail operation manager, the temperament is also atmospheric and cool.
The younger daughter is married and has three daughters, and the whole family population is still quite large, quite lively.

After reading Wang Yu's story, the biggest feeling is that life is too long, life has too many passes to pass, childhood, youth, prime-age, old age, which level has countless obstacles, all need to pay twelve points of energy to seriously live, until the last moment, really can't tell how this life is living.
Just like Wang Yu, before the age of forty, his life was smooth sailing and he was a complete winner posture. He was born into a wealthy family, never suffered hardships, and when the times changed dramatically, his family gave him protection from the pain of displacement;
In his youth, he became the male protagonist in the first play, and soon became popular and was adored by thousands of people. Money naturally does not have to worry, there are many beautiful female stars favored, peers sought after, the film company owner as a baby, is simply the wind and rain spring breeze proud.
So the young man took these lucky, lived very happily, "met the girl he liked to chase", saw the mansion he liked to buy, never worried about the problem of money, did not need to be too harsh on himself, even if he interfered in other people's marriages can be unscathed.
However, all this has changed tragically in the old age, when life is about to end.
When he was young, he did not understand financial management, too conceited and promiscuous, most of his wealth was squandered, and he did not care about health problems, and it was rumored that he was addicted to alcohol, and how expensive XO could drink in one breath, and drank foreign wine as boiling water; living in a mansion that could not be supported at all, he could not make ends meet, which made his old age very cramped.
A reporter photographed Wang Yu after the stroke, accompanied by nurses, and teased that "he has not lacked women in his life, and it turns out that they are finally with him!" ”
Of course, who isn't lonely in their later years? How many people do not even have a person around, there are two caregivers, it can be seen that the daughters are good to their fathers, and they have walked decently.
Wang Yu's whole life is the style of the gongzi brother, the life of a gentleman, the shocking things, he has done a lot, ordinary men in their lives attach the most valued money and women, he has had, two wives are also stunning, one for him gave birth to three, one doubled with him for more than twenty years, not counting those dew marriages, he is an old-fashioned patriarchal thinking, the desire for control is very strong, the daughter is very afraid of him, far away from him, there is nothing to do and often shell this and that, everyone also tolerates him, after all, Wang Yu created Hong Kong, Even the first dashing student of martial arts films in the entire Chinese-speaking world.
Is it just that having money and women is happiness? Money will fail to invest, women will leave him, time is the biggest magician, what is more strange is that the more successful you are in your youth, the more unbearable the taste of losing everything in your old age, the more you have to face loneliness and illness in your old age, and even have to borrow foreign objects to prove your existence with a mansion, and the absurd sadness of life is probably all in this.
▲ After fighting and killing most of his life, Wang Yu, who once worshiped the Four-Faced Buddha, hung up the cross, and kept tossing and turning all his life, constantly searching, which is probably the only way for everyone, although the material is precious, but the spiritual wealth is more worth pursuing.
A lifetime of red dust rolling, indulgence, experienced extraordinary career and love, but also experienced great pain and suffering, sad and happy clutch, more than the movie ups and downs of a life, have to admit that Wang Yu is richer and more wonderful than most people's lives.
The One-Armed Man is good to go!
