There are many rich people in Hong Kong, and there are also many literati.
It has four great talents: Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Huang Xiao, and Cai Lan.
It has four talented women: Lin Yanni, Zhang Xiaoxian, Lu Xiuling, and Liang Zhishan.
Yanni Lin
Perhaps due to the Hong Kong atmosphere, these literati are also vigorously pursuing enjoyment while working hard: loving the flow.
Among them, among the four talented women, Lin Yanni has the highest achievements and is also the most popular.
Moreover, she also had the worst ending: died alone.
Why is a generation of talented women here?
Let's take a look at Lin Yanni's legend.
1. Rich families
Family environment has a profound impact on a person, and Lin Yanni is exactly like this.
She was born in May 1943 to a wealthy father, the owner of the Hong Kong United Soda Factory, and an elegant Miss Qianjin.
Usually, the eldest and eldest in a family will be loved by their parents, and the same is true of the Lin family, Lin Yanyan is the eldest daughter and has been pampered since childhood.
For example: the soda factory has a best-selling product "Metilol", and later engaged in promotion, and the boss stipulates that the soda sold can be "another bottle" for free if there is a swallow printed on the bottle cap. This swallow is Lin Yanni's "swallow", and her father's favor for her is self-evident.
In terms of material life, Lin Yanni is extremely luxurious. She later recalled that the greatest distress of her girlhood was "not knowing whether today's ball would wear a Dior suit or a Chanel dress".
At that time, as soon as each season of new products in the Chanel brand store arrived, the store manager would inform Lin Yanni as soon as possible, and then she would buy a whole season's clothes, spending millions at every turn, and pay the bill without frowning.
Jewelry, furs and branded clothing are the three major hobbies of the girl Lin Yanni, and even if it is expensive jewelry, she is only willing to wear it once or twice, because everyone has seen it, and it will be a loss next time.
The favorable family situation gave Lin Yanni the capital to do whatever she wanted, and the love of her parents gave Lin Yanni the pride of looking at everything.
Lin Yanni grew up in such a family environment, naturally different, vanity, money worship, teasing and self-acting, has become a permanent label on her, she never compromises, does not look at other people's faces, in her dictionary, there are only four words: please yourself.
In 2014, Lin Yanni was 71 years old and gave an exclusive interview to the media, she was dressed avant-garde, as sexy as a young woman: wearing a red vest skirt, draped in a big brown wave, stepping on a pair of hatred sky-high.
Some people criticized, saying: "At such an age, you should have the appearance of this age, a person in his seventies, dressed like a vixen, too unspeakable."
Lin Yanni was not impressed, and said triumphantly: "There is nothing wrong with dressing sexy, and you can wear evening clothes only if you have a good figure."
Lin Yanni is such a woman!
In 1960, at the age of 17, Lin Yanni graduated from high school in Hong Kong and immediately went to the United States to study.
Thus began her bohemian life.
2. Marry into the Li family
Yanni Lin enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in genetics.
Soon after enrollment, Lin Yanni and Li Zhongchen fell in love.
Li Zhongchen was the brother of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee and was studying at the University of Minnesota.
The Lin family and the Li family are family friends and have a good relationship, Lin Yanni's younger brother Lin Zhenqiang formed a band with Bruce Lee's younger brother Li Zhenhui when he was in his teens, and Lin Yanni and Bruce Lee are also very familiar.
The two men and women of the family fell in love, and later Lin Yanni said in her memoirs: "In my life's love, this one is the most beautiful and flawless and the happiest."
After graduating from university, Lin Yanni and her boyfriend immediately entered the marriage hall, and soon after, their son came to earth.
The couple returned to Hong Kong after marriage, Li Zhongchen joined the Hong Kong Observatory, and Lin Yanjian went to TV as a weather forecast host.
Lin Yanni has a beautiful appearance, a beautiful figure, avant-garde, and a bold personality, a wide range of friends, perhaps these factors caused her husband's dissatisfaction, originally the two said before marriage that everything was easy to discuss, but after marriage, Li Zhongchen changed like a person, and he stipulated that his wife could not go out except for work.
This made Lin Yanni, who was loose in nature, difficult to accept, but for the sake of her beloved husband, she chose to endure, so that she sometimes went out to visit friends and had to check her watch frequently, for fear of missing the time to go home.
Because he had a different heart for his wife, Li Zhongchen's emotional heat for his wife decreased, for example, he often treated his wife coldly for two or three days for no reason, or even ignored it.
Such a couple life is suffocating!
In 1969, when her son was 4 years old, Lin Yanni and Li Zhongchen parted ways, and their son lived with his father.
Li Zhongchen later became famous, the official residence of the Hong Kong Observatory Science Director, after retirement moved to Australia, in 2008 Lin Yanni passed away.
After divorcing Li Zhongchen, Lin Yanni did not remarry, and she ran amok as a single woman, extremely extravagant.
3. Indulge yourself
Lin Yanjian is not only beautiful, but also talented.
She hosted the weather forecast with high ratings and won the reputation of "Best Weather Girl", and later she also worked as a TV news director, TV host, and director of the TV publicity department.
Lin Yanni was also very studious, and in those years, she completed a master's degree in philosophy and a doctorate in Chinese classics at the University of Hong Kong.
In 1974, at the age of 31, Lin Yanni published her first book "Lazy Afternoon", and since then, she has won the reputation of "talented woman".
While Lin Yanni's career is smooth, her love history is also very rich, she is famous and reads countless men.
She is outstanding, sexy, intellectual, and attractive, and there has always been no shortage of suitors around her.
Among them is Huang Xiao, who is ranked among the four great talents in Hong Kong!
4. Be a junior
(1) Huang Xiao chasing women
Born in March 1941, Huang Xiao became a TV host in 1965, engaged in film scores, and published a collection of adult jokes "Buwen Collection" in 1973, and has since become one of the famous literati in Hong Kong.
One day in June 1975, "Happy Family" magazine organized a gathering of writers, Lin Yanni and Huang Xiao were listed.
Huang Xiao, 34 years old, fell in love with 32-year-old Lin Yanni at first sight. Since ancient times, there has been a cloud of "mature men love mature women", which must be right.
But at this time, Huang Xiao is a husband and already has two sons, and Lin Yanni is also a person with a boyfriend.
The lecherous Huang Xiao ignored these and launched a fierce attack on Lin Yanni.
At first, Lin Yanni was unmoved, and Huang Xiao vowed not to give up.
For example, he went to Lin Yanni when he had nothing to do, and sent flowers to her office every day, either roses or lilies.
For example, Lin Yanni and her boyfriend dating, Huang Xiao secretly sabotage, sometimes they have candlelight dinner in the restaurant, Huang Xiao will buy the restaurant manager to send her flowers, this trick is effective, Lin Yanni and her boyfriend often break up unhappy.
Huang Xiao is stalking, and they are both people who cherish talent, so 9 months later, Huang Xiao hugged the beauty back.
Soon after Huang Xiaojin Wu hid Jiao, his wife found out, heartbroken, regardless of being 8 months pregnant, resolutely held a press conference with a big belly to announce divorce.
This incident caused a sensation, and Lin Yanni has since had another label: the famous junior.
(2) Heart-to-heart sealing
Lin Yanni has always gone her own way, and she never takes the ridicule of outsiders to heart.
After the two held hands, they gradually became a well-known couple in the Hong Kong fashion industry, not only life partners, but also career partners.
In August 1976, not long after the two held hands, Lin Yanni quit her TV station job and set up the "Wong & Lin Advertising Company" with Huang Xiao, which was promoted to the seventh largest advertising agency in Hong Kong with an annual turnover of 120 million Hong Kong dollars many years later.
In 1987, the two sold the advertising company, and the following year, the two formed "Huang Chen Film Company".
However, this time they were not able to achieve glory again, because they parted ways two years later.
Huang Xiao loves Lin Yanni very much, once described her as a woman who is "one in 100 million", and bluntly said: "It's so exciting to be with Lin Yanni, every cell is in orgasm."
However, the two only live together and do not marry.
Huang Xiao wants to get married, but Lin Yanni disapproves, perhaps because she likes a life that is not bound by marriage.
On New Year's Day 1989, Huang Xiao found the famous writer Jin Yong and others and knelt down to propose to Lin Yanni. Jin Yong also really wanted to promote good things, in addition to immediately drafting the marriage document, he also wrote a couplet: Yellow Bird Nest Swallow's Nest and Zi Kai Elder, Lin Hua Dian Dynasty and Rain.
In such a romantic atmosphere, Lin Yanni nodded emotionally in agreement.
However, more than 10 days later, she repented.
After Lin Yanni repented of marriage, the relationship between the two seemed unaffected, and they still entered the pair when they attended public events.
However, Huang Xiao already had a small calculation in his heart.
(3) Parting ways
One day in May 1990, the two attended a friend's banquet, and Huang Xiao left alone halfway, and then asked her friend to tell Lin Yanni on her behalf: I will not come back.
Lin Yanni didn't take it seriously and continued to talk and laugh with her friends. After returning home, she found that Huang Xiao's things had been cleared, and then she realized that Huang Xiao's "I won't come back" meant breaking up.
The talent is even ingenious to break up!
Lin Yanni and Huang Xiao have been together for 15 years, from 32 to 47 years old.
Lin Yanni was dumped, naturally grievances, anger, and sadness struck at the same time, but this negative mood did not last long, because she soon dated a new suitor.
On the contrary, not long after Huang Xiao moved away, he regretted it, and he wanted to eat back grass, which was obviously late.
In order to recover Lin Yanni, Huang Xiao made a "clever move" and bought the newspaper page to announce the world: Huang Xiao loves Lin Yanni.
Lin Yanni was unmoved.
Huang Xiao was not dead hearted, ran to Lin Yanni's house to entangle, but was called by Lin Yanni's son, making him embarrassed.
Subsequently, at the 13th Hong Kong Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Huang Xiao, who won the Golden Needle Award, once again showed her love for Lin Yanni in front of thousands of audiences: "The woman I love the most, I can't love a woman again in my life as if I love you so deeply."
He was equally invincible.
In 1995, Huang Xiao married the beautiful Chen Huimin, and in 2004, Huang Xiao died, and his two wives appeared at the funeral, except for Lin Yanni.
5. Chasing handsome guys scandals
In 1990, Lin Yanni was 47 years old.
Since then, she has focused more on literary entrepreneurship, and is less passionate about the love scene, and rarely has a relationship again.
However, she is not absolutely loved.
In December 2004, not long after Huang Xiao's death, it was reported that Lin Yanni was infatuated with the handsome guy Yan Chengxu after watching the idol drama "Meteor Garden".
There are two specific manifestations: 1. During that time, all of Yan Chengxu's public activities, Lin Yanni attended like a little girl and "chased stars", 2. Lin Yanni took the initiative to request that she personally run the book for Yan Chengxu (which was not published later).
At this time, Lin Yanni was 61 years old, whether this scandal was true or false, and there was no answer later.
Let's talk about Lin Yanni's literary achievements.
6. Famous writer
Lin Yanni published her first book "Lazy Afternoon" in 1974, and "The Cabin Collection" the following year.
After she and Huang Xiao combined, her creative enthusiasm was higher!
Like Huang Xiao, she has published columns and essays and novels in newspapers and magazines such as New Weekly, Hong Kong Youth Weekly, Ming Pao, and Ming Pao Weekly.
The two also set up a column under the name of "one topic, two writings", that is, using the same topic, the two wrote articles with different content, which became a good story in the Hong Kong literary circle.
Lin Yanni is very talented in writing, and she has worked tirelessly, and has written a lot of books, including "Fate", "Alliance", "Burial of Youth" and so on.
In 1989, she won the Best Writer Award of the Hong Kong Artists Alliance.
Literary master Jin Yong called it "the best female prose writer in modern Hong Kong".
No matter how good it is, there will be an end.
7. Die alone
In June 2018, Lin Yanni was 75 years old and died of illness, leaving this world that made her love and hate.
A generation of talented women, once beautiful, but died desolate and lonely!
The Lin family is rich and has a well-prosperous child. Lin Yanni is the eldest daughter, below a younger sister and two younger brothers, of which the eldest brother Lin Zhenqiang is also a very famous lyricist and writer in Hong Kong, with the same status as Huang Chen in songwriting, classic songs "A Thousand Songs", "Love You More Every Day", "Believe in Yourself" and so on are his works.
It is a pity that God is unfair to this family.
In 1981, Lin Yanni's sister died of lymphoma.
In 2003, Lin Zhenqiang suffered from lymphoma, and Lin Yanni donated bone marrow for him, but Lin Zhenqiang lacked surgery. Six weeks later, another of Lin's younger brothers also died of lymphoma.
In 2005, Lin's father died of a heart attack.
In 2014, her mother died of a serious illness.
In 2005, Lin Yanni had a thyroid problem, and after four surgeries, she has since become a frequent visitor to the hospital.
In 2016, Lin Yanni suffered from lung cancer and her life entered the countdown.
At this time, she was the only one left in her Lin family.
Moreover, her only relative, the son born to her ex-husband Li Zhongchen, is far away abroad and cannot be waited by, so she is alone and very lonely.
What makes people sigh is that even if she has been tortured by the disease, Lin Yanni still shows the good and strong character formed in her early years to the fullest, she dresses up very delicately and fashionably every time she goes out, her explanation is "talking and laughing, that is my umbrella, I am afraid of being pityed, so I am always happy like one hundred and twenty to see people."
In the last two months of Lin Yanni, a friend asked her if there was anything unfinished, and she muttered: "I want to write a book, I have 76 boyfriends, I have written everything before, but I have never written a boyfriend."
People know that Lin Yanni is famous, but she didn't expect that she had as many as 76 boyfriends, which was surprising.
Such a "sexual encounter", even in the materialistic entertainment industry, can be called legendary.
Lin Yanni is a talented woman and deserves it!
Now, everything is gone with her death, and the rivers and lakes are only legends.
