There were also many interesting things that night, Michelle Yeoh's stepdaughter Pan Chuying flew from Hong Kong to the United States to celebrate her godmother's award.
▲ Pan Chuying (right) and Michelle Yeoh.
▲Although Bai Fumei does not wear makeup and dresses plainly, the large diamond on her neck freely explains her net worth.
Michelle Yeoh has only been married once, in 1988 to Pan Disheng, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman. The two did not have children during marriage, and Pan Disheng and his ex-wife Yang Minde had a daughter who was Pan Chuying. It is said that Michelle Yeoh treated Pan Chuying as her own during marriage, and after the divorce, she specially held a grand recognition ceremony to accept Pan Chuying as her goddaughter.
To tell the truth, it is really rare for the relationship between the stepmother and stepdaughter after the divorce to be so ironclad.
What is even more shocking is that Pan Chuying's own mother, that is, Pan Disheng's ex-wife Yang Minde, also flew to celebrate with Michelle Yeoh this time, and it seems that the two women have always maintained a very harmonious relationship.
Once married to the same husband, now become a girlfriend, this, how to comment... I feel that this former husband is too much of a hindrance, and after abandoning him, everyone is having a good time haha.
▲ The report paper is Pan Chuying, the white-haired one behind is Yang Minde, and the only man is Michelle Yeoh's current boyfriend Jean Todd.
Pan Chuying is a well-known second-generation celebrity in Hong Kong, not only because her father Pan Disheng is rich, but also because she has a stronger biological mother is Yang Minde, whose social status and financial resources in Hong Kong are stronger than her father. Of course, now she has another Oscar-winning godmother, a comprehensive blessing of wealth and influence, belonging to the leader in the second-generation circle of Hong Kong.
Since she is the second generation of celebrities, she is destined to have many friends in the same circle, and Pan Chuying's social circle is also quite exciting, and the best girlfriends include many celebrities whose names can now be counted in Hong Kong, including another more famous "stepdaughter" is Lin Qingxia's stepdaughter Xing Jiaqian.
The girls in the upper class do not lack anything, and perhaps the biggest setback in childhood is to face the divorce of their parents, and they are bound to go through a period of running-in with the beautiful big stars who marry in, but as time goes by, the world changes, and they form some kind of alliance with their star stepmothers, but the relationship is better.

The unobtrusive little girls who appeared at Lin Qingxia and Michelle Yeoh's wedding have grown up, because of the relationship between the star stepmothers, people care about their growth, and now Xing Jiaqian and Pan Chuying are nearly middle-aged, starting a family, and their influence is increasing day by day.
The social circle of high society is a private but stable small circle, for example, Deng Aijia in the picture above is the eldest grandson of philanthropist Deng Zhaojian, the daughter of Deng Yongming, the founder of the fashion brand "Shanghai Beach", Deng Aijia also did the creative director of the "Shanghai Beach" brand, she and Xing Jiaqian are ferromagnetic, this Spring Festival, Lin Qingxia wore the most famous Chinese clothing of "Shanghai Beach" for netizens to greet the New Year (

), I don't know if this dress was given by Deng Aijia or Lin Qingxia helped the brand of the world.
It can be seen that the communication between celebrities is not only as simple as friendship, but also a circle relationship.
Most of the people who can become friends have similar family backgrounds and mingle in similar circles; And can become a hardcore girlfriend because of the mutually beneficial cooperation between the family, and the strength is equal.
The Pan Chuying, Xing Jiaqian, Deng Aijia and others we want to talk about today belong to the latter.
The gold of the old money house
Pan Chuying's family is different from the nouveau riche nouveau riche, but the real family of old money, in layman's terms, the ancestors have always been very broad, mainly because her mother Yang Minde's family is very powerful, dating back to the Qing Dynasty is a rich and prestigious family.
▲ Yang Minde, source watermark.
Yang Minde said that his maternal grandfather was an "international student of Gengzi's indemnity", and returned to China to participate in industrial salvation after completing his studies, so Yang Minde's mother belongs to everyone's show;
And Yang Minde's father Yang Yuanlong, that is, Pan Chuying's grandfather, the family is also good, in the twenties of the last century obtained a master's degree in chemistry from St. John's University in Shanghai and a master's degree in textile chemistry from the Lowell Institute of Textiles in Massachusetts, a solid high-achieving student.
Gao Caisheng married a rich daughter, and then set up a textile factory with his wife, which was professionally counterparted, and did a good job and a proper upper-class family. (It can also be seen that Pan Chuying's grandparents' generation was a family marriage of the right family)
Pan Chuying posted old photos of her grandparents living in Shanghai at that time, and they looked like big families.
▲ Yang Minde (right) when he was a child.
Yang Yuanlong also has an unknown relationship in the entertainment industry, the most famous Xiangjiang beauty Xia Meng in the fifties (the story about Xia Meng,
It can be reviewed here
He wanted to call him Thirteenth Uncle, because Xia Meng's grandfather Yang Shizhu was the youngest son of Yang Yuanlong's grandfather Yang Tingji. Of course, this relationship is not too close, and it is old, so no one mentions it.
Yang Yuanlong came to Hong Kong in the late forties to start the textile company "Esquel Group". By 1978, when the mainland began to reform and open up, he, like Lee Shau-kee, Li Ka-shing and others, was optimistic about the mainland's economic take-off and bet on the general trend, so he enjoyed the greatest dividends of that era.
Yang Minde said: "Dad thinks that the light industry foundation in the mainland is good, and the mainland has abundant labor, low wages, cheap clothes and cars, and you can earn 14 yuan in foreign exchange by investing one yuan. "It's all big truth.
Therefore, the Yang family set up many textile factories in the mainland, and their wealth snowballed. On the other hand, Yang Yuanlong also develops tourism, and the Xiangshan Hotel in Beijing was invested and built by him, and because of the relationship of old money, the Xiangshan Hotel was actually designed by I.M. Pei, everyone does not know.
In this process, Yang Minde, as the daughter of Yang's family, took over the family responsibility very early and worked with her father to open up the mainland market and become a strong business woman.
▲Guangzhou Foshan Gaoming has the base camp of Esquel Group in the mainland, formerly known as "Gaofeng Textile and Dyeing Joint Enterprise Co., Ltd.", with as many as 30,000 employees, equivalent to 7% of Gaoming's permanent population at that time.
▲In 1989, Yang Minde participated in the signing ceremony of Gao Feng.
▲In 1989, the salary of general employees of Foshan Gaofeng Factory was already at a high level.
▲ Yang Minde and father Yang Yuanlong.
After nearly half a century of development, Esquel Group is now mainly engaged in the manufacture of global famous brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Nike, Muji, etc., with an annual turnover of up to 500 million US dollars, has become one of the world's top garment factories, known as the "Whampoa Military Academy" of the textile industry.
But Esquel is also special, it is an "all-staff" company.
Yang Yuanlong and his wife have two daughters together, the eldest daughter Yang Minde, who is now at the helm of the family; The second daughter, Yang Minxian, also works in the family. After Yang Yuanlong's death, Yang's wife Yang Cai Yongfang was highly respected and her maiden family was powerful, so the current situation is that three mothers and daughters, plus a granddaughter, constitute the core management of Esquel Group.

▲Old Mrs. Yang and two daughters and two granddaughters (the second from the left is Yang Minxian's daughter).
Because of this, Pan Chuying, as Yang Minde's only daughter, is placed on high hopes, as we all know, most rich families do not have to inherit the family business, so they can easily live, marrying as a wife or being a famous lady is their choice, but Pan Chuying is obviously not this one.
Well, back to the marriage of Yang Minde and Pan Disheng. During the rapid development of Esquel Group, Yang Minde married Dison Pan.
▲ Young Yang Minde looks beautiful.
Compared with the Yang family that has been passed down from generation to generation, Pan Disheng belongs to the upstart, this is also the story of an era, Hong Kong gradually took off in the fifties and sixties of the last century, many mainland people to Hong Kong followed also entered the golden period of their careers, Pan Disheng's father Pan Jinxi himself is a poor boy, because of his poor family, he worked hard from Teochew to Hong Kong in his 10s, started by a watchmaker, and later opened a famous watch business, which is similar to the history of the Yang Shoucheng family that we have written (
Click here to read Yang Shoucheng's story
）。
By the time Pan was born, Pan's family was already wealthy, and Pan received an elite education from an early age, attended boarding school in England, and then entered a university in Los Angeles, majoring in philosophy and economics.
After returning to Hong Kong, his father invested and opened his first watch and jewelry store, located in the highest level luxury commercial area in Hong Kong, Central Landmark Plaza, Pan Disheng took the brand-name boutique route, selling high-end watches and precious jewelry such as Rolex CHOPARD, but also caught up with the wind, in the seventies and eighties, Hong Kong's urban economy took off, urban people began to pursue high-quality jewelry watches, Pan's watch business is booming.
Pan Di grew handsome, very similar to Chen Baiqiang when he was young, perhaps because of this, he married the famous lady Yang Minde. In 1982, the wealthy son-in-law Pan Disheng won the agency rights of a series of the world's top clothing brands in Hong Kong, and his business entered a new level and began to take off his career.

Soon, in 1982, her daughter Pan Chuying was born and lived a life of owning LV handbags since she was a child.

But this marriage lasted for a short time, Yang Minde, like Michelle Yeoh, was well cultivated by the family, accepted advanced gender concepts, was a career-oriented woman, and the strength of the heart and strength made them unable to bear the life that the former broad wives had to live by patience.
To some extent, the ideas of Yang Minde and Michelle Yeoh were too advanced and out of place in Hong Kong at that time, and legend has it that Li Ka-shing liked Yang Minde very much, but hesitated and did not marry her into the family to become a daughter-in-law, the biggest reason is that "she is too strong", not a traditional good daughter-in-law.
Of course, this also shows from another side that Yang Minde and Michelle Yeoh have the same concept and the same personality, and it is not surprising that they later became good girlfriends.
▲ Yang Minde has a strong personality, enthusiastic, cheerful, informal, and obsessed with work.
In 1984, when Pan Chuying was two years old, Pan and Yang had already broken down their relationship, and that year, Pan Disheng and Sammo Hung founded "Debao Films" to cultivate his then girlfriend Michelle Yeoh into the industry.
In 1988, Pan Disheng and Michelle Yeoh got married and held a grand wedding, and 6-year-old Pan Chuying appeared as a flower girl.
▲This wedding dress was designed by Liu Peiji. "Ming Pao" published Liu Peiji's self-statement: He said, who had never designed a wedding dress back then: "When Dickson told me about this, I had a headache overnight, I was scared, I didn't want to do it, because the pressure was too much, I said let me think about it first to see if there was inspiration and suitable clothing." In the end, Liu Peiji agreed, the wedding dress was called "The Wizard of Oz", the wedding dress alone used more than 130 yards, even the veil exceeded 200 yards, when trying on, Liu Peiji asked Michelle Yeoh if it was heavy? The bride-to-be said: "The veil is heavy. For the wedding, Michelle Yeoh held a lot of meetings, but her biggest concern is still whether the wedding dress looks good or not, Liu Peiji has a suggestion, why not be sexy? Michelle Yeoh said, "Well, bride, this is my first and last wedding dress. ”
▲ "Ming Pao" reported: The wedding was held in the Regent Hotel, inviting nearly 1,000 guests, each cost 200 yuan, the whole wedding cost 200,000 yuan, and the cake weighing 150 pounds was worth 10,000; Pan Disheng's six-year-old daughter, Pan Chuying, appeared as a flower girl that day. After two nights of wine celebrations in Hong Kong, the couple flew to Malaysia on February 8 and again on February 10, in the presence of the King of Malaysia, after which Michelle Yeoh and Dikson Pan went to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

But no one expected that his second wife Michelle Yeoh was also a workaholic, and Michelle Yeoh also divorced Pan Disheng in 1992. Subsequently, the two ladies Yang may have formed a fate because they married the same husband and became friends, and Pan Chuying officially became Michelle Yeoh's goddaughter. Michelle Yeoh is not only good with Yang Minde, but also has a good relationship with the Yang family.

Pan Chuying inherited her mother's natural and cheerful style, focusing on work, and the mother and daughter are quite similar.
▲ The luxury goods that flashed on social platforms are mainly painting and reading.
As a member of the fashion industry, her mother Yang Minde has become more and more stylish, cutting her hair short and white, showing her ability and life experience.
Pan Chuying just graduated and found a foreign boyfriend, and now the relationship situation is unknown.
Some time ago, Pan Chuying's mansion was also stolen and made headlines in the entertainment section.
In addition, Pan Chuying's father Pan Disheng is still active in social Vanity Fair, "Dickson Creation" not only has brand agency, but also global retail business and technology digital, etc., and Hong Kong's political and business circles are closely related.
▲ Pan Chuying and her father and mother can also take a group photo safely when they meet in the social field, which shows that there is no evil.
▲ Pan Disheng donated money to Oxford to build a building, and Prince William at that time also went to cut the ribbon. The £21 million (about HK$264 million) "The Dickson Poon University of Oxford China Centre Building" was opened, with Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, as a guest on the opening day. The five-storey "China Building" covers an area of nearly 5,500 square metres (excluding the Chinese central courtyard and garden) and is equipped with a range of meeting and seminar facilities.

Pan Disheng quickly remarried after divorcing Michelle Yeoh, this wife is a very young woman, before marriage was a senior employee of a securities company in Hong Kong, she and the first two generations of Mrs. Pan have a completely different personality, enjoy the process of being Mrs. Pan, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters for Pan Disheng. The eldest son, Pan Guanda, is now the executive director of Di Sheng's founding, and is presumed to be the family successor.
▲Michelle Yeoh and Pan Disheng divorced in 1992, and in the same year, Pan Disheng married his third wife Yu Guizhu.
▲ The couple is often active in Vanity Fair.
Pan Disheng also has a relatively powerful family in-law. He is the youngest son of the Pan family, and has three older sisters, one of whom is Pan Jincui, who is married to Li Guobao, chairman of the Bank of East Asia. Therefore, the branch of "brother-in-law" has a huge power and also builds contacts for Pan Disheng.
▲ Pan Disheng was awarded an Honorary Fellow of King's College London, and his brother-in-law Li Guobao attended.
Pan Disheng also has an entertainment industry relationship, that is, the son of Pan Disheng's second sister, that is, Pan Disheng's nephew Jin Chengwei, married the cousin of Donnie Yen's wife Wang Shishi.
Because the Pan family and the Bank of East Asia have in-laws, plus Pan Disheng himself is rich, so this wedding is quite grand, the media say that Wang Shishi's sisters are all married to wealthy families (Wang Shishi's sister Wang Yuanyuan is the wife of Hong Kong toy king Choi Chi Ming,

▲Donnie Yen and Wang Shishi attended their cousin's wedding.
▲ According to reports, on the wedding day, "the groom's uncle Pan Disheng, his uncle Li Guobao and his wife, cousin Li Guozhang and other heavyweights arrived at the congratulations, causing a sensation in the city."
Pan Chuying and her father's side are indeed more distant, the media reports that Pan Chuying is the "lowest-key rich second generation", "the rich second generation who does not fight daddy", well, it is true that she does not fight daddy, the key is that she can fight her mother...
The strongest celebrity circle
Now let's talk about Pan Chuying's "strongest celebrity circle".
Pan Chuying studied in the United States, and after returning to Hong Kong, she entered the family business, as the eldest daughter, she needs to act steadily and generously, and has titles such as "International Young Leader", so she does not often appear in Vanity Fair.
Most of her good friends are Harvard classmates, mostly foreigners; In Hong Kong's celebrities, because of the family business, she has a good relationship with Deng Aijia and Cao Yinghui, these three people can be said to be the daughters of the three giants of Hong Kong's textile industry.

In 2011, he founded Michael Kors and went public.

Cao Yinghui and Xing Jiaqian seem to be childhood playmates (or classmates), because they mixed together very early, and in their early years they were a group of four, the other two were He Chaoqiong's goddaughter Zeng Zhaoyi, and an ordinary person named Mao Guojing.

Finally, let's talk about the story of another "stepdaughter" Xing Jiaqian.
Like Pan Chuying, they both have a famous "stepmother", Xing Jiaqian's biological mother is Hong Kong celebrity and designer Zhang Tianai, and when she was 6 years old, her father Xing Liyuan married the great beauty Lin Qingxia.

Lin Qingxia wrote about Xing Jiaqian in the book "Inside the Window", which also illustrates this point:
As Lin Qingxia said, when Xing Jiaqian was 8 years old, Lin Qingxia gave birth to her daughter Xing Ailin, just like the name, Xing Liyuan loved Lin Qingxia, which is a witness of the strong emotions of the two, and the media also overwhelmingly reported the news of the beauty giving birth to a daughter, at that time, Lin Qingxia was all physically and mentally spread on her biological daughter, Xing Jiaqian's position in this family is a little embarrassing, and it seems to be an invisible person.
Mom has her own world, dad has daughter, and the eight-year-old girl must have a very complicated heart, and the photos can be seen.
Xing Jiaqian has been studying outside, and Lin Qingxia has gradually transformed from "Kuotai" to "writer", and the circle of friends has shifted from vanity fair to cultural circle, she often takes Xing Ailin to travel with her friends, takes her to meet celebrities, and has been cultivated in the cultural circle since she was a child.
▲ When he traveled to Taiwan with the actress Jiang Qing, he took Xing Ailin with him.
▲ Participated in the Golden Horse Award ceremony, and also brought Xing Ailin.
In 2018, Lin Qingxia won the "Golden Sang Award for Lifetime Achievement" at the Udeni Far East Film Festival, and her daughter took the stage to hug her mother.
Lin Qingxia's new book launch party, Xing Ailin will also participate.
Usually, Lin Qingxia and her two daughters often go shopping together, and the relationship between mother and daughter is very close.

▲The youngest daughter Xing Yan loves a cheerful personality and likes to perform.
Of course, later Xing Jiaqian and Lin Qingxia had a good relationship, and on important occasions, both mother and daughter would appear together and praise each other. For example, in 2013, Shi Nansheng was awarded the French Officer Medal of Arts and Literature by the Ministry of Culture and Communications of the French government, and many friends supported him, including Lin Qingxia and his three daughters Xing Jiaqian, Xing Ailin, and Xing Yanai.

▲ The guests that day were star-studded, in addition to Lin Qingxia's mother and daughter, there were Xiao Fangfang, He Chaoqiong, Yu Zheng, Tang Hede and others.
In 2014, Lin Qingxia celebrated her 60th birthday, and Xing Jiaqian will of course be there.
In 2019, the mother and daughter attended the Cartier COLORATURA High Jewelry Dinner.
▲ Xing Ailin seems to be doing design work now, and the media press release reads: "Xing Ailin, a 28-year-old beloved daughter born to Lin Qingxia and Xing Li, has achieved success in recent years, and after graduating from the design university, she decided to start low. She was recruited as a junior designer by an advertising agency with a monthly salary of about $20,000. At the same time, she inherited her father's business acumen, set up her own website to solicit design business, developed mobile apps with friends, and introduced poor travel tips. ”
▲ Lin Qingxia is wearing the crown of the Cartier Antique Collection Collection.
Lin Qingxia also often writes the story of her eldest daughter Xing Jiaqian on Weibo, telling the warmth of mother and daughter.
Perhaps because of the relationship that has lived outside since she was a child, Xing Jiaqian was once a problem girl, playful, addicted to love, etc., she was involved in different scandals in 2008 and 2009, and in 2008 she was one of the heroines accused of being suspected of being Edison Chen's "nude photos door". But at that time, Xing Jiaqian had a boyfriend, and her boyfriend Pan Shiheng was Edison Chen's good friend.

When the leaked nude photos door was boiling, the reporter also ran to interview Zhang Tianai, who supported her daughter and boyfriend.
Coincidentally, the event on that day coincided with the new product launch of "Shanghai Beach", and Xiong Dailin also wore new clothes with the theme of "Dunhuang Flying Sky" on Shanghai Beach.
▲The guests of the day, on the left are He Jiahua, the granddaughter of the gambling king, and Anna, the granddaughter of the ten girls; On the right is Edison Chen's sister Chen Jianfei.
In 2009, it was revealed that Xing Jiaqian's boyfriend smoked marijuana.
As soon as this matter came out, Xing Jiaqian broke up with her boyfriend, and the boyfriend she later dated was Yang Shoucheng's nephew Yang Jiajie.
Then, Xing Jiaqian and Yang Jiajie also broke up, and once again the news that she was pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to two children with her foreign boyfriend, Xing Jiaqian has claimed that she will not get married because of "being affected by the marriage of her parents".
At present, she is attending various fashion events, breaking into the rivers and lakes as a "celebrity", and opening a children's education institution, which is back on the right path.
After talking about the Xiangjiang celebrity circle strung by the two stepdaughters, under the light of the star stepmother, it is easy for them to enter the perspective of the spotlight, life is not easy, especially born in a rich family, and have to face the marriage of their parents, but also face the star stepmother, they have faced more challenges than others since childhood, but in the end, they are all doing well.
Having a family business guarantee, having the ability to inherit family property, doing a small business with a loose temperament, and then finding a handsome guy to have children and live an ordinary family life seems to be the common choice of rich girls.
Their lives are mainly in the social arena, but the social arena also has unspoken rules:
If the parents are the strongest group of people, then the children will also become the strongest second generation, the "strong" here is not only wealth, but also the comprehensive strength of influence, family heritage and connections, everyone likes to play with people with similar family lineage, more safe and secure, their circle is generated from childhood, fixed, but also isolated, will not easily accept newcomers, because it is too insecure.
But friendship is not so strong, if she is not in the group photo of celebrities one day, it is likely to indicate that there is a problem with the family behind her.
The second emotion is that the life trajectory of upper-class children is indeed different from ordinary people.
Just like the recent hit "Dark Glory", Yeon-jin, who was born as the end, once said to Moon Dong-eun, "We don't need dreams, dreams are for you ordinary people." ”
Compared to the stories of this group of famous ladies in Hong Kong, this is indeed the case.
They have a planned life path, they went abroad to study as teenagers, and when they returned home, some took over the family business, and if they didn't, they needed "a job that can be spoken". For men, investing is a good choice, while women tend to choose art and design.
They really don't need to dream and work hard, because it is impossible to work for others, of course, their own artistic talent and artistic ability is also a very subjective matter. Sarah Li in "Dark Glory" became a famous painter, but didn't she hire a bunch of painters to be her gunslinger;
▲ "Dark Glory" by Sarah Li.
Of course, they also need a marriage that can be seen, and there is a rule that many celebrities choose foreigners from middle-class backgrounds, and many are college classmates. They rarely choose local men, too easy to be coveted for money or dug up by the media, marrying a rich man to be a swallowing wife is not something they can endure, but foreign students generally know more about respecting women, but also more legal awareness, safer, and as long as they have children and do not get married, this is more able to avoid family property risks.
Of course, glamorous celebrities, born in Rome, with a golden spoon in their mouths, are incomparable to ordinary people, but they have a big problem with "hollowing", that is, life is full of meaninglessness.
This is logical, after all, they have everything, but they don't know what to pursue in this long life, so they need some means to eliminate boredom, partying, smoking, love, and carnival often become their normal life. Hong Kong media have exposed He Chaoying's suspected drug addiction, and Xing Jiaqian has also been involved in the Tibetan drug storm, which can be seen.
In "Dark Glory", the rich second generation born in Rome all fell and were abused very badly, which is of course dramatic, most of the rich women in real life have survived safely and lived a peaceful life, but one thing is certain, whether it is ordinary people or rich people, they have their own life problems to solve.
Rudolf Oiken proposed the concept of "immanence" in The Meaning and Value of Life and considered it to be the focal point of meaning in life:
The formation of internality makes a person completely independent and transcends all contradictions in this life. When faced with the pressures of external achievement, relying on this internality can be resolved, and at the same time it can find its main mission in the self.
For the second generation of celebrities and rich people, they cannot get the sense of achievement and satisfaction from their work like their parents, some people have been breaking free from the influence of their fathers all their lives, while some people have been lying in the shade all their lives doing nothing, what is the meaning of life, perhaps they will always ask questions.
