When it comes to Ho's eldest wife, Lai Wan-wah, many people think that Lai Wan-wah is really very miserable, although many of the original matches of Hong Kong giants are not good, such as Li Ka-shing's wife Zhuang Yueming died of a heart attack, and Liu Luanxiong's original partner Po Wing Ching suffered from cancer twice in her life. But they were not as miserable as Li Wanhua.
Lai Wan Hua was the first beauty of Macau when she was young, and she was born in a Portuguese magnate, and then married Ho Hung Sun, and should have been very happy in her life. After 1957, Li Wanhua's life underwent great changes, this year Li Wanhua suffered from colitis, and since then her life has come to a 180-degree turn.
Li Wanhua's colitis at that time has not been well treated, originally not too serious a disease, and eventually became only able to go to the United Kingdom to cut the stomach, since then Li Wanhua can only eat liquid food, but also need to take medicine for many years, the body has become very weak, the weight plummeted dozens of pounds, Li Wanhua has since lost her beauty. It was also in this year that He Hongshen married the 14-year-old Lan Qiongmiao, and later married the young and beautiful third wife Chen Wanzhen and the fourth wife Liang Anqi. Li Wanhua can only be a person who cares about self-pity.
However, this is only the beginning of Lai Wanhua's doom. In 1977, when Lai Wanhua was recuperating in Portugal, she suffered a car accident. Li Wanhua was rescued in the hospital for several months, only to retrieve a life, but she lost most of her memory since then, and it also led to inconvenient movement.
In 1981, Li Wanhua's body had just recovered a little, and as a result, she encountered another huge blow. At that time, Li Wanhua's son He Youguang took his wife on a trip to Portugal, and as a result, a car accident occurred in Portugal, resulting in the death of the husband and wife together. Li Wanhua suffered a huge blow mentally, and has been almost ill ever since.
A few years later, Li Wanhua's daughter He Chaoying went crazy because of her bad feelings, and another daughter, He Chaoxian, chose to leave to live in a foreign country. Li Wanhua was only accompanied by a daughter He Chaoxiong, who had never married. In 2004, Lai Wan Hua completed her miserable life in Hong Kong. In the end, in the family, the big house was also a fiasco, no one entered the SJM to work, and at the same time did not get a share in the family company.
Many people think that Li Wanhua's misery is Lan Qiongmiao's harm, and even think that the two car accidents in the big house are closely related to Lan Qiongmiao, because the big house has a car accident, and Lan Qiongmiao's second room is the biggest winner, and at the same time, Lan Qiongmiao has the ability to commit crimes.
But in fact, this matter was definitely not done by Lan Qiongyi, otherwise He Hongshen could not still keep Lan Qiongyi, and he would definitely not let her go. In fact, after 1981, Lan Qiongyi's relationship with He Hongshen was still very good, which showed that the car accident could not be done by Lan Qiongyi.
In fact, Li Wanhua's misery has little to do with Lan Qiongyi, the key is that her mother's family is too strong. Why? Lai Wan Hua was born in a Portuguese magnate, the father was the first practicing barrister in Macau, and also worked as a high-ranking official in Portugal, when the Influence of the Lai Wan Hua family in Macau was very large.
Lai married Ho when she was 18 years old. In fact, Li Wanhua is completely a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world. This is different from Lan Qiongyi, Chen Wanzhen, Liang Anqi and others, these women have all been in the society before marrying He Hongshen, or have experienced the ups and downs of life.
After Lai Wanhua married Ho Hung Sun, her father always managed Ho Hung Sun. This must have made Ho very unhappy. After Ho hung sun married Lai Wan Hua, Lai Wan Hua's father helped Ho Hong Sin get the monopoly management right of Macau textiles, so the Lai Wan Hua family has always believed that Ho Hung Sun developed by relying on the Lai family. For this matter, Ho Hung Sun was actually very dissatisfied, Ho Hung Sin later said that he had become a shareholder in the Macao CIMB Company at that time, and was also responsible for the business of escorting ships, and had already made a lot of money, and there was no need to rely on the Lai family.
There is another thing that also makes Ho Hongshen very dissatisfied. When Ho hung sun married Lai Wan Hua, it was very common for men in Hong Kong and Macau to have three wives and four concubines, because such things were legal at that time. However, He Hongshen never married the second wife, and waited until 1957, when Lai Wanhua became seriously ill, and He Hongshen married the second wife, Lan Qiongyi.
Ho Hung Sun and Lai Wan Hua were married in 1942, that is, within 15 years of their marriage, Ho Hung Sun did not marry the second wife. Many people think that Ho Hung Sun is a person of affection, if Ho Hung Sun is really a man of affection, then why did he not marry the second wife when he was young, but wait until 15 years after marriage?
In fact, the most crucial point is that Li Wanhua's family stopped it. At that time, Li Wanhua's mother's family always said that the Portuguese could not accept polygamy. The key point is that Li Wanhua's mother's family said that polygamy could not be accepted, but Li Wanhua's father had several wives and gave birth to a total of 23 daughters. For Ho, this is only allowing the governor to set fires, and not allowing the people to light lamps.
He Hongshen was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, but at first, He Hongshen's power was not as good as the Lai Wanhua family, so he could only choose to be patient. In 1957, Ho hung up on the occasion, by which time Ho had returned to Hong Kong to develop, and had become one of Hong Kong's richest people by virtue of the construction business, surpassing Lai Wanhua's mother's family. In addition, this year Li Wanhua was indeed seriously ill, so He Hongshen resolutely married the second wife. Before marrying Lan Qiongyi, He Hongshen personally went to his father-in-law's house to explain to his father-in-law.
He Hongshen later said in his autobiography that he could not be a monk, so he had to marry the second wife. However, this matter was later slapped in the face by Lai Wanhua, because Ho Hung Sun said that he did not want to be a monk, but Li Wanhua gave birth to 2 daughters after Ho Hung Sun married Lan Qiongyi. Lai Wanhua risked her life to give birth to a child, not only did not save Ho Hongshen's heart, but on the contrary, it fell on Ho Hongshen's face, making many people feel that He Hongshen's a thin and widowed person.
In fact, whether men are good or bad is inherently very difficult to say. Although Ho Hongshen has 4 wives, he is also kind to each wife, and although Li Ka-shing has only one wife, he may not be as good to his wife as He Hongshen is to his wife.
After Lai Wan Hua's death, her mother's family did not allow her to be buried in Hong Kong, but still let her be buried in Macau.
