In most people's minds, parents seem to naturally have an instinct to protect their children, but there are some extremely selfish parents, which is not the case, on the contrary, after raising children, they will also be regarded as private goods, and even a tool for enrichment.
In 2021, Britney Britney's application to revoke her father's permanent custody was again rejected by the court, and it has been 13 years since she began to be "supervised" by her father in 2008 because of her poor mental state. She can already tour normally, have a good income, and can support a team, but she still can't control her own property and decide her own life.
Kardashian about free Britney events, no matter what the cost, will help Britney regain her freedom.
In China, although "permanent custody" is rarely stipulated in law, because the whole society emphasizes filial piety, many children are invisibly shackled, and because of the preference for sons and daughters, many daughters seem to be treated as human cash cows.
Mui Yanfang, who died in 2003, was known as the "Daughter of Hong Kong" because she was proud and often did charity, and was watched by the audience from an early age.
(Andy Lau's inscription "Hong Kong daughter Mui Yanfang")
Regrettably, she had never been cherished by her mother, Qin Meijin, in this life.
(Qin Meijin and Mei Yanfang wax figure)
Qin Meijin has 4 children, in addition to the youngest daughter Mei Yanfang, there are also the eldest Mei Qiming, the second Mei Deming, and the third Mei Aifang. She used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, because of the early death of her husband, she founded the Jinxia Song and Dance Troupe to make a living.
In 1967, 8-year-old Mui Aifang and 4.5-year-old Mui Yanfang began performing under the stage names of Ina and Yiyi, running through major dance halls, lounges and even streets in Hong Kong to earn money to support their families.
Later, some guests at that time recalled Mei Yanfang's experience of performing when she was a child, saying that because she was too short, some guests in the back row could only hear her singing and could not see her small figure. Mei Yanfang also sang about this experience in her own song "Daughter of Song".
I remember a little singer of the day, who was very thin
I remember her singing some old tunes in the non-upscale district/co-op class
The old theater will never be dissatisfied with the seats / She performs a song to stop hunger
Old drama shirts are good from a distance
—— "Daughter of Song" Mei Yanfang
In Hong Kong at that time, the status of this profession was not high, especially in school, and it was easy to be ridiculed by classmates. After reading the first grade of middle school, Mei Yanfang dropped out of school. It's hard to say whether she dropped out of school because she couldn't stand the cold eyes of her classmates or because her mother wanted her to focus on earning money. She once said: "As a child, I was like a monster, and children and classmates did not want to play with me. Later, she also mentioned that if time could be turned back, she still hoped to read more.
Mei Yanfang, who spent her childhood and teenage years on stage, made her debut at the age of 18 when she participated in the first rookie singing competition hosted by TVB and Huaxing Records. Her performance was outstanding, and one of the judges, Huang Xia, gave a perfect score.
(In the middle is Mei Yanfang)
Mei Yanfang's stage charm is very strong and cannot be ignored. But when she first debuted, because of the stage experience, the feeling of youth was not obvious, at the beginning with a pure appearance, the audience did not buy it, and later, she met the stylist Liu Peiji, for her to open up a different personality route from the actress at that time, because of the changeable style, she is also often called "a hundred changes in the queen of heaven".
Liu Peiji thus became Mei Yanfang's closest friend, the same brother and sister, and later, he became the only beneficiary of her will outside the blood relatives.

From song to film, Mei Yanfang's achievements are top-notch. Although her sister Mei Aifang and Mei Yanfang look and voice are very similar, but the star path is not smooth, in 1990 is more suspected of suffering from cervical cancer due to family genetics, and died after 10 years of fighting cancer. The sisters are very deep in their feelings because they have been on stage together since they were young. Perhaps only the two sisters who starved and sang together when they were young can understand the cold eyes that each other has suffered.
In the twenty years of popularity, Mei Yanfang has almost become the pillar of the whole family. She was responsible for the family's expenses and bought a house for her mother and brother.
(Mei Yanfang and mother Qin Meijin)
The eldest brother Mei Qiming once borrowed money from Mei Yanfang to start a dog farm, although he had no business acumen, Mei Yanfang still finalized a year's work plan in advance and gave the deposit to her brother as an investment. The brother asked for 2 million yuan from Mei Yanfang before and after, saying that he had lost all the investment losses, and later Mei Yanfang found out that the original brother only lost 200,000 yuan, and all the other money was embezzled by him. And Qin Meijin only said that they are all family, and they want Mei Yanfang not to worry.
(Mei Qiming reportedly said that it was her mother who failed to manage the dog farm.)
If it is a normal expense, the popular star does have a strong ability to absorb gold, and may not feel burdened, but Qin Meijin spoils her son, and is suspected of gambling, almost a bottomless black hole (whether Qin is addicted to gambling is still doubtful, but from the arrangement of Mei's will, she at least does not trust her mother's ability to handle huge assets).
In the early days, many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities entered the show business circle to help their families pay off gambling debts, such as Cai Shaofen, and the family had a star as a guarantee, as if they were more fearless, so that Cai Shaofen, who could not afford to continue to repay the debt, had to announce to the media that she had to break off relations with her mother.
Mei Aifang died in 2000, and In 2003, Mei Yanfang was also diagnosed with cervical cancer, at which time she had accumulated more than 100 million assets. Speaking of Mei Yanfang's mother, Qin Meijin's first thought after learning about her daughter's condition was not concern, but let Mei Yanfang leave her inheritance.
Before her death, Mei Yanfang still considered her family wholeheartedly, and also used her will to reflect her inner choice. She knew her family, knew that her mother spent too much money, and her brother was not a tool, so the will was carefully arranged, and instead of giving the inheritance to Qin Meijin at one time, a trust fund was set up.
The contents of the will include:
1. Qin Meijin receives 70,000 Hong Kong dollars per month for living expenses (according to Mui Yanfang's calculations, it is about 2 workers plus a driver's expenditure in addition to daily expenses, and after litigation, several adjustments, it increased to 85,000 in 2006, 120,000 in 2007, 158,000 in 15 years);
2. 1.7 million education funds for 4 nieces and nieces;
3. Liu Peiji was awarded the top floor of Yuxiu Building and London property in Happy Valley;
4. After a hundred years of Qin Meijin, the rest of the property was donated to the Miaojing Buddhist Society.
But even so, Qin Meijin is still insatiable, and since Mei Yanfang's death, almost most of her energy has been spent fighting lawsuits to fight for inheritance. He often cried to the media about his bleak evening life and refused to pay the huge legal fees for his own lawsuit law firm.
Perhaps it is these families that make Mei Yanfang form a very sensitive personality, she likes night pu, surrounded by a group of people to accompany. Zhang Guorong once said that she would be jealous and angry because she was close to other people.

In 2013, 10 years after Mei Yanfang's death, her relics, including Andy Lau's handwritten Heart Sutra, were auctioned off, and finally Zeng Zhiwei and other showbiz friends raised 1.01 million yuan to auction her 67 trophies. In 2015, her belongings, including her underwear, were auctioned off again, and there were rumors that Qin Meijin had done it, but according to the news, she said she did not know it.
In 2015, Qin Meijin's second son, Mei Deming, also died of cancer. She only has her eldest son, Mei Qiming, and it is reported that the reason why she is still running for her inheritance at the age of 90 is also because she wants to support her eldest son's family.
(Mei Qiming told the media that Ms. Mei owed him too much.) He was also diagnosed with cancer in 2015, but whether it is malignant is still unknown. ）
Many people think of Mei Yanfang's act of wearing a wedding dress at her last concert as an expression of her extreme regret for love, but I think she may just hope that someone can love her unconditionally. She has not received the slightest concern in her family affection, but has only become a tool for collecting wealth, and her relatives cannot choose on their own, but the lover is her own choice.
(According to Yi Nengjing, she is not familiar with Mei Yanfang, so it is better not to make up your mind at will)
After Mei Yanfang's death, some fans mentioned that without the experience that Qin Meijin brought to Mei in the early days, she may not be able to become a superstar, and I do not disagree with this view. Mei Yanfang was thrown onto the stage at a very young age. She loves the stage, she gets the love of the fans here, but in the heart of that 4-and-a-half-year-old skinny little girl, she may have feared the stage.
She has countless friends in show business and is known to her as "better than loved ones".
The last trip was also carried by friends.

At The farewell concert of Mei Yanfang's life, she chose a Japanese cover of the work "Sunset Song", which was originally sung by her boyfriend Makoto Kondo, who was obsessed with her when she was 20 years old.
(After learning that she was ill, Ms. Mei went to Japan to see Makoto Kondo for the last time, hiding that she was already ill.) In his early years, Kondo chose Nakamori Akira, who committed suicide in his love triangle, and gave up Mei Yanfang. ）
The wedding dress she sang was designed by her relative Liu Peiji, whom she chose for herself.
I have met your sincere arm bend
Accompany me through the tribulations
The rush center is disheartened
The road twists and turns
One day I thought of going home but it was too late
- "Sunset Song"
Mei Yanfang also has another not widely known name, called He Jianan. Because she recognized he guanchang, a big man in the film industry, as a dry father, the other party gave her the name He Jianan, to the effect that the He family has no son, and having Mei Yanfang is like having one more son.
According to fans, among Mei Yanfang's relics, there is a pottery sculpture of a reading child, which reads: Jia Nan, I hope you find fun in reading, the drop is Mom and Dad, and the tone is very warm. And the name engraved on Mei Yanfang's urn is not Mei Yanfang, but He Jiannan.
(Also a lively little girl)
The person who took care of Mei Yanfang's aftermath was her former assistant, presumably arranged before her own death, Qin Meijin did not know that the name on the urn had been changed, according to media reports, she was greatly angered after learning about it. Perhaps, this is Mei Yanfang's last small rebellion against her mother.
