| / Liu Luanxiong's eldest daughter is 20 years old! Harvard or Cambridge? / |
Yesterday, Liu Xiuying, the eldest daughter of Hong Kong tycoon Liu Luanxiong, shared her 20-year-old birthday photos on IG, and also brought some childhood photos by the way. Berry carefully zoomed in: Filipino butler intimate companionship, Disney actors to play, private pool play... OMG, isn't this the live-action version of the rich heroine in the novel!
Liu Xiuying, who looked like a little princess since she was a child, did not wear a luxurious dress to take photos at a Michelin restaurant on the day of the 20-year-old bar mitzvah, but dressed modestly, just ate a birthday cake with her family in her mansion.
Not only that, but she also wrote in English that her best birthday gift is all love, and she is very happy to have the opportunity to help some waste pickers and cleaners on her birthday, which is a meaningful birthday event for her.

As a rich man with too much money to spend, Liu Luanxiong's children seem to be taking the "simple" route, almost no luxury brand logo can be seen on them, will not appear in the front row of luxury brand shows, and rarely be riddled with scandals, more participate in charity and public welfare activities.
This is actually related to the problem, that is, Dinghao seems to raise children according to this route. The elite growth model of these children never shows off how strong their family assets are, but through this seemingly indistinguishable way from ordinary people's growth, they "secretly compare" and enter the world's top schools in a "muffled" way, in fact, this road has been paved by their parents when they are very young.
In order to help everyone better understand the question of "how do top tycoons cultivate their children in an all-round way", I will open the "elite education" column, combined with the gossip I often talk about, to see how the super rich cultivate their children into "elites" without mistakes.
Become an alumnus with the children of celebrities, and go all the way to overseas famous schools
Liu Xiuying, the eldest daughter of Da Liu, her growth route is a template-like existence, suitable for every rich family who wants her daughter to become an elite (although Liu Xiuying is still young, the current growth route still has reference value) ~
Liu Xiuying is the daughter of Da Liu and her predecessor Lv Lijun, although her exposure in the media has always been slightly inferior to that of Liu Xiuye, the youngest daughter born to Gambi, and Liu Xiuying rarely appears on social networks, but her mother Lv Lijun is definitely a "ruthless person", and the means of educating her children are very clever, and she will be gossiped by the Hong Kong media from time to time.
Before Gambie, Hong Kong media had always referred to Lv Lijun as the "Hong Kong version of Wendi Deng".
It is reported that Lv Lijun studied in London and worked as a part-time salesman at LV, he met Liu Luanxiong, a rich man who was riddled with scandals with first-line actresses, and gave birth to his daughter Liu Xiuying in 2002, and later Lv Lijun went to study in the UK and successfully obtained the doctoral status of the Department of Chemical Engineering at King's College London.
Lv Lijun broke up with Da Liu, and Da Liu gave her a breakup fee of at least 2 billion yuan, and other Hermes bags, luxury cars, yachts, mansions, etc. will not mention the specific figures.
Da Liu is very fond of Liu Xiuying, the daughter of Lv Lijun, and the ultimate favor of the rich is to buy, buy, buy, and throw money in all kinds.
As early as 2014, Liu Luanxiong had bid two gemstones for Liu Xiuying in two auctions, namely a giant blue diamond worth 250 million yuan and a ruby worth 65 million yuan, and named "The Zoe Diamond" and "Zoe Red" after Liu Xiuying's English name "Zoe".
However, Liu Xiuying's parents separated when she was very young, and coupled with the subsequent Gambi giving birth to Da Liu, Da Liu paid more attention to Gambi's children, so Liu Xiuying's growth was inseparable from Lv Lijun's cultivation.
When Liu Xiuying was very young, she was sent to an international school full of rich children.
When Liu Xiuying was 18 years old, she posted a high school graduation photo on IG, with the text: "Thank you for the fourteen years", that is, she officially studied until graduation when she was 4 years old.

Lau Xiuying's Chinese International School (CIS) is one of the most prestigious schools in Hong Kong and the first school to establish bilingual education, with kindergartens, secondary and primary schools, and alumni are all children of celebrities, including other children of Da Liu, children of Li Zeju, Tsui Ziqi and children of Lee Ka-shing.
First of all, there are three main types of kindergartens in Hong Kong:
❶ Non-profit religious/charitable kindergartens (basically in cooperation with the government, requiring a profit of <5% per year, some can also be attended for free)
❷Private kindergarten (1<0% profit per year, sometimes supported by the government, this annual tuition fee is about ¥1W~10W)
❸ International kindergarten (foreign language is the main teaching language, the concept is western, and the tuition fee is also the most expensive ¥5W~17W)
Generally, the children of celebrities or wealthy families read more than the latter 2, after all, the parents' background is not bad money, and the educational resources obtained are more scarce, which is equivalent to choosing only the top of the kindergarten pyramid.
▲ For example, Chen Xiaochun's son Jasper is studying at the most expensive "Yew Chung International Kindergarten" in Hong Kong, and Zhao Wei spent 120 million yuan next to the school to buy a school district house in order to send her daughter to YCIS Hong Kong because Beijing YCIS was not recruiting;
In addition to the strong teachers of expensive kindergartens, the big guys pay more attention to their convenience. Because they are basically one-stop direct to primary and secondary schools, parents can be carefree in the next ten years, and their children will basically go to overseas prestigious universities in the end.
▲ There are also many old international kindergartens "Victoria International Kindergarten" that Xingma will choose, which is also one of the earliest educational institutions in Hong Kong to authorize IB diplomas, such as Yang Mi, Li Jiaxin, Wu Junru's daughter, Yang Qianwei's son has studied here;
Liu Xiuying's Hanji International School belongs to the third type of international kindergarten, the advantage is that its student age standard is 4 years old, the kindergarten duration is 1 year, and you can enter the first grade of Hanji at the age of 5, which is earlier than many other kindergartens to enter primary school, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.
Let's start with Hankey's tuition fees.
According to the latest official show, the tuition fee from preschool to Grade 13 ranges from 180,000 Hong Kong dollars to 290,000 Hong Kong dollars, excluding other fees, and other fees must be paid including school construction fees, computer fees, etc., and the price is not cheap.

Draw the key points:
1. Grade 10 one-year course must go to Hangzhou Hanji Boarding School for one year, it is said that in order to integrate more into Chinese culture and study Chinese, in addition to learning French and Spanish this year;
2. Hankey opened the IB (International Baccalaureate) course in 2002, and then docked with famous foreign schools one after another;
3. In 2000, it obtained NEASC certification, which is known as the "American academic gold standard".

The content of the study is also different, and the kindergarten and primary education is mainly bilingual education, and the teachers are certified teachers from more than 20 different countries. Grade7-9 mainly studies the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IBMYP), and Grade12-13 studies the International Baccalaureate Foundation Programme (IBDP), which is obviously to prepare for overseas prestigious schools.
▲ Rich extracurricular activities are also a must-have highlight of the school;
The ultimate in "involution": light up multiple skills at once
Attending prestigious schools in Hong Kong from an early age is an essential focus of "elite education", and it is also necessary to cultivate various additional skills.
Hong Kong's education circle is very realistic, tiger parents all kinds of rolls, interest classes also have a chain of contempt: for example, if there is a harp, bel canto do not learn piano, there is rugby, golf and tea ceremony, do not learn to draw and Go, parents will let children choose those who learn high-end extracurricular sports to make friends, such as learning horsemanship, ice hockey, harp and the like are at the top of the contempt chain.
Lv Lijun's route of cultivating Liu Xiuying is more in line with the tradition of parenting of the Dinghao family, which is indispensable to learning ballet, learning martial arts, doing charity and other schedules, which is still "normal" in Hong Kong involution education. Can't help but complain: Hong Kong Kuotai raising children is simply rolled up to the rhythm of madness.
▲ On his 20th birthday, he took a photo with Hong Kong Ballet principal dancer Jin Yao;
Ballet won international awards
Liu Xiuying is always called "the representative of the rich family" by the Hong Kong media because of her ballet skills, and she officially learned ballet at the age of 15, and obtained a certificate issued by the Royal Academy of Dance in two years.
Under popular science, the Royal Academy of Dance of the United Kingdom, founded in 1920, is known for its classical ballet, and many rich daughters have a necessary certificate for ballet entry.
Due to the high credibility of the King's exam, high-level exams can also be counted as UCAS points for Commonwealth University application points. (Emphasis!) If you are curious about how to transfer points, you can go to the official website to check)

At the age of 18, he was selected for the Hong Kong Ballet and participated in the performance of "The Nutcracker", playing a horse racing jockey in the show, and her mother Lv Lijun also attended to support and successfully completed 6 performances.
This year, he also won the gold medal of the International Ballet Competition.
Piano, guitar are essential skills, and you also have to release personal records
Liu Xiuying has been practicing piano and guitar since she was a child, and she often shares her singing works on IG, such as self-playing and self-recording in private concerts.
I will do some charity activities every day, such as visiting the elderly center, and even performing on the spot, playing and singing many songs by Teresa Teng.
She also started her personal YouTube channel, Zoe Lau, to share self-play recordings. He also recorded his first solo EP as early as the age of 15, and released a second record on Christmas 2019, with three solo EPs so far, and talent skills +10086 when applying to school.

Wushu also has to win gold medals
What is more surprising is that Liu Xiuying also systematically learned martial arts on the basis of learning ballet and music, and won the gold medal of the competition.
This skill is actually more popular in North American Chinese parenting circles, and many Chinese require their children to learn Chinese culture from an early age. My personal feeling should be that Lv Lijun hopes that the child has a greater sense of cultural identity and can also defend himself.
She participated in 4 events, namely 5-step boxing, Changquan, Nanquan and Jian, among which the Nanquan event became a mixed gender competition due to the insufficient number of women participating, and finally she successfully won gold medals in all 4 events.
Donate a large amount to overseas prestigious schools to pave the way for children's schooling?
"Wealth and privilege play an important role in college admissions, even if it doesn't involve illegal practices. ——"The Pride of the Elite" "Children trained by the elite model successfully complete international secondary school studies, and then enter a world-renowned university.
Parents invest a lot of money and energy to cultivate their children's pre-college education, does not mean that children can enter the ideal college 100%, at this time they have to do a lot of preparation.
According to The New York Times, it is not uncommon for American universities to give special consideration to alumni and the children of large donors. Daniel Golden, a veteran American journalist who won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism, sharply pointed out that the impact of large donations on children's admission to prestigious schools is roughly equivalent to adding 400 to 500 points to their children's SATs, allowing students who were originally unqualified with Ivy League to successfully enter elite schools.

For example, Harvard University has a "Z-list" (that is, the shortlist, a waitlist of rich children who do not qualify for admission) and the Development Case (the program is for students who do not meet academic qualifications and cannot be routinely admitted, but whose families are very wealthy and willing to donate, and financially support the university)...
| |
The ways in which wealthy parents donate to the school can be varied, and Trump himself donated $1.5 million to the school during the time when his children Donald Jr. and Ivanka attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, including "gifts" such as monuments and private clubs.

It is reported that after Lv Lijun received the sky-high breakup fee, she established a foundation, the Lv Lilin (Lv Lijun's current name) Foundation, which actively responds to various public welfare activities, such as encouraging the poor through running and climbing, and caring about the earth's climate and other issues.
| |
In the "Education and Art" section of the Lu Jialin Foundation, you can see some such information.
For example, this "Harvard University Lu Jialin Foundation Professorship" aims to promote teaching and research in Harvard University's College of Arts and Sciences. Maybe many babies can't understand, to everyone under popular science, the professorship of American universities can be donated by donation, crowned with the name of the donor, eligible professors can be crowned with this title, and then the money can be used by him.
| |
For example, the Lu Jiaolin Foundation Professorship means that a Harvard professor can be prefixed with "Yvonne Lui Professor", and this professor can use the funds donated by Lu.
In addition, Lv Lijun has set up a scholarship for Cambridge University's Caius (Case College), and she herself attended the dinner commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hawking's admission to Case College.

On the arts side, the Lui Pei Lin Foundation sponsored the 5th Beijing International Ballet and Choreography Competition, as well as supporting local talent through the Arts Development Grant Scheme.

The above are some sharing of the dynamics of Lv Lijun's personal foundation. Emphasis: a large donation to a prestigious school does not mean that the child can be 100% admitted, but in the case of a large donation, the school will give more consideration, no matter how much parents toss, they can only provide some help, whether the child can enter the prestigious school to study, mainly depends on their own qualifications and level.
Looking carefully at Lv Lijun's model of nurturing children, although there is still some gap with the Dinghao family, as a single mother, perhaps this is already the best way paved for children, she teaches children "kindness, simplicity and more fun to experience the world", and she always insists on the belief in living well.
In recent years, some people have been comparing Lv Lijun with Gambie, and feel that Lv Lijun is obviously "defeated" between the two. In fact, there is no "loss and win", but everyone chooses their favorite way of living.
Excerpt from an article written by Lv Lijun on the Foundation's website:
In Buddhist beliefs, "0" does not mean that there is no or infinite termination, but a concept of rebirth and reincarnation, and only in a state of non-attachment can there be a concept of a hole in the sky. "0" symbolizes an opportunity to reset. Gates said that the foundation would spend all the money twenty years after his death, and I also told my daughter that following your mother down this path may bring your material possession to zero, but the seeds you sow, the flowers you blossom, and the people you help will leave you with the most meaningful return. ”
