There is a kind of love called He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang, one of them is the pearl in the palm of the gambling king, and the other is a talented singer, but because of his lifelong sadistic love, he has caused countless people to cry.
"If you want to fall in love with others, you will feel that you have nothing to love" Chen Baiqiang said in a lyric that the two love each other but can not keep each other's bitterness, He Chaoqiong's hairstyle and pearl earrings for decades show her concern for this love.
To this day, the two have long been separated, and this sadomasochistic legend is still lamented.
Fate allowed He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang to meet at the right time and the right place, but they could not let them work together for the rest of their lives, and the regrets of the two of them were doomed from the beginning.
One
In 1962, Lan Qiongmiao, the second wife of the gambling king Ho Hung-sun, gave birth to He Chaoqiong, who was the fifth child of the gambling king. It was also in this year that He Hongshen got the franchise of the gambling card, and he attributed the success of this cause to the good luck brought by the birth of his daughter He Chaoqiong, so He Chaoqiong became the lucky star of the He family, carrying the life of the Wang family and having a very high status in his father's heart.
However, although He Chaoqiong lived a life of stars and moons, he did not grow the pampering disease of a rich lady. Her mother, Lan Qiongyi, strictly disciplined her, and He Chaoqiong herself was also very sensible and self-motivated, and had her own ideals.
At the age of 17, He Chaoqiong's beauty and talent have begun to shine, and she is preparing to apply for a foreign university, hoping to pursue the art she loves.
However, this dream was not supported by her father, and Ho hoped that she would learn to run a business so that she could take over the family business in the future. Therefore, He Chaoqiong finally had to choose to study business management and was admitted to Santa Clara University.
Chen Baiqiang's experience is similar to He Chaoqiong's, he was also born in the second room of a wealthy family, and he was also very favored by his father.
Chen Baiqiang also loves art, especially music, and even chose to drop out of school to sing after graduating from middle school. But fortunately for He Chaoqiong, Chen Baiqiang's dream was eventually supported by his father, and he was sent to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for further study.
After graduation, the 21-year-old Chen Baiqiang signed a contract with EMI Records, and then released many classic songs such as "How Precious Tonight" and "Partial Like You", with extremely high sales, which also made Chen Baiqiang quickly become popular and became a superstar in the music world.
During this period, He Chaoqiong also made an attempt for his acting dreams.
19-year-old He Chaoqiong studied acting in the artist training class of TVB in Hong Kong, and successfully passed the audition to perform in the TV series "Breakthrough", and she cameoed in the role of Chen Baiqiang's girlfriend in the play.
In this way, He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang met. One of them is 19 years old and the other is 23 years old, which is the age when the love sinus first opened. The two lang talents and female appearance, He Chaoqiong's cheerfulness and liveliness also just complement Chen Baiqiang's calm and introverted.
In the process of filming, the two have feelings for each other and have a strong feeling. In the eyes of outsiders, they are also a very good pair of lovers. He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang often pair up in public, but they have never admitted to being in love.
However, even though the two have always been called good friends to the outside world, it is still difficult to hide the fact that they love each other.
In 1985, Chen Baiqiang invited He Chaoqiong to be the heroine of his song "Deeply In Love with You" MV, when he also frankly said to the public, saying that He Chaoqiong was his confidant.
He Chaoqiong also cherished Chen Baiqiang, once, Chen Baiqiang lost his favorite watch, and his heart was very sad, but He Chaoqiong found a way to buy the same money for Chen Baiqiang after learning about it.
For several years, the two have always had a strong relationship. However, the great hand of fate began to tear apart the loving lovers.
Two
Just when He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang met and accompanied, a big thing happened in the He family.
He Youguang, the eldest son of the He family, suffered a serious car accident in Portugal and unfortunately passed away. This tragedy made his father, Ho Hung-sun, very sad, because for him, He Youguang was not only the eldest son, but also the successor of the Ho family.
Since he was a child, He Youguang has been placed high hopes and carefully cultivated by He Hongshen.
But an unfortunate accident forced He Hongshen to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, which made him worry about the future of the family. He Hongshen, who is already 60 years old, has no time to wait for his sons to grow up and take on heavy responsibilities, and he finally chose He Chaoqiong as his successor.
After all, He Chaoqiong is very thoughtful in business, and he has also carefully cultivated He Chaoqiong.
After making the decision, Ho immediately told Ho Chao-qiong and asked her to quit the entertainment industry to study business knowledge and prepare for succession.
He Chaoqiong, who is sensible, naturally accepted her father's arrangement, and she quit the entertainment circle after that, but did not break off contact with her lover Chen Baiqiang.
On September 7, 1988, Chen Baiqiang held a 30-year-old birthday banquet, in which He Chaoqiong sat in the hostess position next to Chen Baiqiang, and when he was slightly drunk, Chen Baiqiang leaned on He Chaoqiong's shoulder, and the two looked very sweet. Someone took a picture of this beautiful scene, and the photos quickly spread through entertainment news.
Ho Hung-sun also saw the closeness of He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang, but he was very angry and strongly opposed the love affair between the two.
In his view, He Chaoqiong is his own successor, and he cannot have lace news, let alone marry, but can only marry the right door.
Therefore, in order to prevent the situation from developing further, He Hongshen first made his daughter break off relations with Chen Baiqiang, and then promised her to Xu Jinheng, the grandson of the Ship King.
For the sake of the family, He Chaoqiong had to compromise with her father, she painfully broke up with Chen Baiqiang, and in 1991, married Xu Jinheng with a dowry of 1 billion.
It's just that this marriage with no love but only interests, after all, is not He Chaoqiong's willingness, she made a final resistance on the eve of the big wedding, declaring that the wedding dress is missing, you know, it is the father He Hongshen's specially customized wedding dress worth 600,000 yuan for her.
Unfortunately, this rebellion did not change the outcome of the matter.
He and Xu spent a lot of money, why ChaoQiong and Xu Jinheng created a grand wedding that was extremely luxurious, and the wedding banquet lasted for three days and three nights.
At the wedding, He Chaoqiong wore a luxurious wedding dress, but she never smiled. Chen Baiqiang attended her wedding as an older brother, smiling with tears and sending He Chaoqiong to marry.
In the tenth year of their encounter, the two were cruelly separated by fate.
Three
Chen Baiqiang is difficult to give up his old love, and his reluctance to He Chaoqiong torments him day and night. Therefore, in the second year after He Chaoqiong's marriage, he quit the music scene.
At this time, he had already suffered from severe depression, and he could not sleep all day long with alcohol, and even relied on drugs with sleeping properties to fall asleep. He only silently endured this matter alone, only because he didn't want He Chaoqiong to worry.
However, an unexpected tragedy soon occurred. In May 1992, Chen Baiqiang drank the sleeping medicine with wine, and then fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital for rescue. However, after 17 months of treatment, he was still unable to return to heaven, and in October 1993, Chen Baiqiang died of progressive brain failure at the age of 35.
During Chen Baiqiang's hospitalization, He Chaoqiong went to visit several times, but he did not wait for the miracle to happen. Finally learning the bad news of his death, He Chaoqiong's heart was like ashes.
At that time, she disregarded the rules of the world and was determined to send Chen Baiqiang on his last journey.
There is a custom in Hong Kong that a wife cannot support the spirits of others, otherwise it will be detrimental to the husband's family. However, He Chaoqiong completely ignored these rules and the opposition of others, attended Chen Baiqiang's funeral, and personally helped him.
This may be the only time she willful, but she really does not want to leave any regrets. On that day, she finally had no difficulty in suppressing the grief in her heart in the spiritual hall, hugging Chen Baiqiang's mother and crying bitterly.
The death of his lover made He Chaoqiong's thoughts gray. She put all her energy into her career and became the richest woman in Hong Kong. After 9 years of marriage with Xu Jinheng, she also unilaterally announced her divorce.
In this marriage, He Chaoqiong was not happy, her husband Xu Jinheng was very careful, made a lot of scandals, and the lace news with actresses such as Liu Jialing was even more boiling.
He Chaoqiong also did not want to spend time in this marriage that existed in name only, and did not give birth to a son and a daughter in 9 years.
Until 2008, He Chaoqiong and Xu Jinheng completely divorced, and He Chaoqiong returned to his solitude and focused more on his career, which made his father He Hongshen proud. However, until now, He Chaoqiong has not remarried.
In 2020, gambling king Ho Hung-sun drove the crane west. He Chaoqiong took on the heavy responsibilities of the family and carefully planned his father's funeral.
One of the touching parts of the funeral was the playback of ho Hung-sun's pre-life video in the spiritual hall. One of the photos is a photo of He Hongshen and He Chaoqiong's mother, Lan Qiongyi, but half of their faces are still exposed next to them, which is Chen Baiqiang.
As the world knows, these selected photos were guarded by He Chaoqiong, and she released a photo of her father and his beloved in this commemoration, which also proves that she always cherishes Chen Baiqiang in her heart and is difficult to put down.
In 2021, He Chaoqiong, who is already over the age of Hua Jia, recorded a video of the New Year's greeting.
In the video, she wears the same hairstyle as she did more than thirty years ago, wears the same clothes, wears the pair of pearl earrings that Chen Baiqiang gave her, and smiles and wishes everyone a happy new year. That nostalgic look, it was as if Chen Baiqiang was still by her side and never left.
Now He Chaoqiong, who has long been the iron lady of the business world, has taken on the family business, and her fragility and weakness can no longer be seen.
The current He family is also different from the past, perhaps it is He Chaoqiong's responsibility that also allows the younger brothers and sisters to have the freedom to choose love independently.
He Chaolian is that example, I don't know if He Chaoqiong, who is now the Iron Lady, will miss his former love when he Chaolian and her boyfriend Dou Xiao are happy.
