#Headline Creation Challenge#The popular "DIDaDi", "365 Days of Thinking of You" and "Dao Ma Dan", whenever I return to my hometown, these divine comedy symbolizing an era still lingers in my ears.
In the embryonic era of the Chinese music scene, although Li Min rarely lived in the mainland, she truly brought Chinese music to the world.
Li Min is the first Chinese singer to enter the American music scene and release English-language records around the world, rather than idou, who DJs in American nightclubs but claims to hold concerts.
She is the first Chinese singer to sing at the Academy Awards ceremony and the first to sing in the middle of an NBA basketball game, rather than an NBA ambassador who claims to be able to sing and dance, RAP!
She was the first Chinese singer to hold a solo concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Her music and projects are all integrated with Eastern concepts and Western trends.
Unlike today's young idol singers, who do not understand music and musical instruments, they show their musical talent with mouth-held rap and shouting.
First, Li Min, there is more to the other side that you don't know.
Li Min, formerly known as Li Meilin, was born in Hong Kong in 1975, his father is an Indonesian overseas Chinese, and his hometown is in Harbin, so Li Min is more like a free-spirited northern girl in character.
Li Min's mother is from Wuhan, and she is pure yellow race, not mixed race.
Li Min's parents both graduated from Peking University, his father studied traditional Chinese medicine at Peking University, and his mother studied surgery.
It is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and this sentence is vividly reflected in Li Min's body.
Before her mother gave birth, Li Min's father died suddenly.
After giving birth, Li Min was a baby with a congenital defect, and relatives around her persuaded Li Min's mother to give up this daughter.
But this kind of pain of cutting bones and flesh is what mother is willing to bear.
For the sake of her husband's last wishes and her daughter's health, Li Min's mother continued to study Chinese medicine after completing a course in Western medicine.
In the eyes, there is your smile and pain;
In my heart, there are stories you have told;
In your dream, you are on your way home.
The 365 days of thinking about you are longing for your mother in "Pauline Lantern", and in reality, it is mixed with longing for your father.
In this way, Li's mother took her three daughters to study all the way, from Beijing to Wuhan to Hong Kong.
No matter how hard the work was, Li's mother never forgot to buy a bouquet of flowers every day and put them in front of her husband's spirit at home.
When Li Min was 9 years old, her mother got an opportunity to work abroad.
With no one to take care of her three daughters, she took them abroad with her.
In this way, the family immigrated to the Chinese district of San Francisco.
North Americans have a different concept of family, and they don't give all happiness to their children.
In the United States, there are abnormalities, and singles are not common.
There were many overseas Chinese friends who introduced Li's mother to people, including some Chinese businessmen with a lot of wealth, but they were all rejected by Li's mother.
The mother's view of choosing a mate from the beginning to the end, as well as her understanding of love and marriage, have also influenced the three daughters.
Li Min's academic physique was easily shown in North America, and she was admitted to the University of California, Irvine to study biology with excellent grades.
But this girl who was born to love beauty is not limited to studying numbers and formulas.
In 1991, Li Min, who was only 16 years old, won the Miss Miaoling beauty pageant in the United States. She was also named Miss Buttocks in the IBS beauty pageant.
Her external beauty is in line with both the exuberance of Western women and the gentleness and tranquility of Asian women. And Li Min is also the captain of the varsity volleyball team, a veritable cultural and sports blossom.
Li Min was born with a defect in her left leg and underwent major surgery when she was a child, so her parents also paid more attention to her physical training, and it was precisely because of the leg injury that she gave up her athletic talent.
In 1993, Li Min returned to China to participate in the TVB "Rookie Singing Competition", still using the name Li Meilin.
In that year's draft, the strength of the twins Zhang Chongde and Zhang Chongji attracted attention, and although Li Min won the runner-up, she was petite and completely lost to the third place, Zeng Qingyun.
Zeng Qingyun is a typical beauty billet, 175 supermodel height makes her more recognizable, unfortunately Zeng Qingyun later chose the wrong path and retired after making several restricted movies.
The music scene of the 90s was like a fairy fight, especially in 1994.
Andy Lau released "Forgotten Water" and "Providence";
Faye Wong's "I Do" and "Vulnerable Woman";
"Can't Say Goodbye" by Principal Tan, "Don't Be Afraid I'm Sad" by Zhang Xinzhe
In the mainland, there are also "You at the Same Table", "I Wish You Peace", "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and so on, all of which are popular classics.
Two years after Li Min's debut, she was buried in Hualiu, and her American singing voice was pushed to the peak until she signed with Sony Music in 1996.
Coupled with this year, Li Min cooperated with Yao Qian, who was known as the "actress promoter", to solve Li Min's word filling disadvantage.
In 1998, Li Min released his sixth Chinese album "Di Da Di", and this year Li Min changed his previous style and began to take the sexy route.
With a fiery red horn head, wearing a sexy dance music babe, she created a new dance step with a Tahitian feeling of twisting her waist and swinging her hips.
It was also from Li Min that the magical electric buttock dance appeared in the Chinese music scene.
In 1999, Li Min released the English album "Just No Other Way" in the United States, becoming the first Asian artist to enter both the MTV Asia Hitlist and the Top 100 Asia Singles Airplay list, and she became the pride of the Chinese circle.
Second, the rich Jewish businessman, let a poor boy become a billionaire
Back in the 80s, the "father of Lan Kwai Fong" Zeman was building his night club life in Hong Kong.
The German Jew successfully smelled a business opportunity in China, combining bars, Western restaurants and nightlife, and made a lot of money in just a few years.
Zhiwen was first engaged in adult imported women's fashion, and most of the business was in Canada.
By chance, he met Canadian Bruce Philip Rockowitz at an ice cream shop in Hong Kong.
Both were "foreigners" and talked very speculatively, so Sheng Zhiwen hired him to work as an executive in his company.
At the same time, Le Yumin also founded Copley with Li Ka-shing's son Li Zekai, which was acquired by Feng Guojing and Li & Fung for US$2.2 billion in 2000.
This made Le Yumin's worth exceed 1 billion US dollars, and Le Yumin, who is far away in a foreign country, has long left his wife behind, and the easy girls around him are endless.
But he often contacted his daughters and brought them to China, where Mr. Le grew up most of the time.
Third, the humble underground romance
In 2004, Li Min and Zun Long starred in the movie "Self-amusement", at this time, Zun Long was an Asian man who was popular all over Europe and the United States.
The Zun Long at his peak, even if the four Hong Kong tigers combined, were not as good as him.
The film won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, and Li Min also became a famous lady in Beverly Hills.
AT A CHANEL PARTY, LEE'S SISTER NACY MATCH-UP AND INTRODUCED HER TO A "BUSINESS GIANT."
And this business giant is Le Yumin, who is still serving as CEO.
Because of work, plus Li Min does not want to be labeled as marrying into a wealthy family.
In the first year, Li Min kept silent about this relationship, and insiders plus the media only knew that the other party was a "diamond king old five".
This year, Li Min was 28 years old and Le Yumin was 46 years old.
Soon after, in an interview, Li Min generously admitted that the two were in the stage of dating.
She also said that her mother also appreciated the "prospective son-in-law".
However, Li Min is not as open as most European and American girls, and they are always accompanied by friends on dates.
After 9 months of acquaintance, Le Yumin directly took out a special skill and sent a 9-carat diamond ring to propose, and Li Min agreed.
But after the successful marriage proposal, Le Yumin did not rush to marry Li Min, this love pull, Le Yumin, who is only half a hundred years old, has completely pinched Li Min.
The "first beautiful buttocks" in the eyes of the public has long become a woman that Le Yumin is reluctant to marry, but has not married.
Li Wei's mouth also said, "Marriage is just a piece of paper, not bad for that piece of paper."
But when promoting the single in Taiwan Province, Li Min still took the time to quietly try on the wedding dress, apparently she already had plans to get married.
After looking at several sets of wedding dresses, Li Min finally came across a handmade lace wedding dress worth 280,000 yuan and off-white.
In order to continue to be beautiful at the wedding, Li Min also lost weight for a month and successfully reduced from 57 kg to 50 kg.
Fourth, the belated century wedding
From the proposal to the wedding, Li Min waited for 7 years!
In 2011, at the Ritz-Carlton, the two held a lavish wedding, which was estimated to cost up to $20 million!
Li Min and Le Yumin are both mixed Chinese, and the outside world, even the media, knows little about their mysterious lives.
During his 10-year tenure as CEO of Li & Fung, he was responsible for the expansion of the company's business and revenue, and led the US$3 billion acquisition of Tommy Hilfiger in 2010.
At this time, Le Yumin's net worth had reached 2 billion US dollars.
From a Canadian website, "Celebrity Father's Day Letters" were published, including a letter from Rachel, the daughter of wealthy businessman Le Yumin.
In the letter, Le Yumin's eldest daughter expressed her love for her father, and Le Yumin's relationship with his two daughters is very good.
Because throughout their childhood, both daughters were forced to leave their mother and live with Le Yumin in a foreign country.
According to the contents of the letter, the eldest daughter was born in 1995.
When the wedding took place in 2011, the eldest daughter was 16 years old.
This luxurious wedding banquet also invited Bruno Mars, Alicia Keith and Ne-Yo and other popular hot chickens in the Chinese circle.
The wedding scene was full of guests, and representatives of various industries appeared.
Including former Governor Chris Patten.
It is worth mentioning that unlike the century wedding of Huang Xiaoming, AngelaBaby and others, the wedding banquet is rarely attended by insiders, and most of them are foreign relatives and friends of Le Yumin.
In order to express his feelings about getting married, Li Min also sang at his wedding.
And Le Yumin held his two daughters and bent over with a smile on the stage.
Fifth, a more pathetic married life than a nanny
At this time, Li Min was 36 years old, and after marrying Le Yumin, he had always regarded his two stepdaughters Rachel and Sarah as his own, and the family of four got along well.
In Li Min's eyes, she is a good wife with 101 points, but in the eyes of outsiders, her humility is extremely frightening.
As early as 2008, before she was unmarried, Le Yumin's daughter's school held a cultural performance, and Li Min appeared at the school holding her boyfriend's daughter's hand, which caused a sensation in the school.
Li Min's kind attitude and elegant manners made the two future stepdaughters earn enough face.
It is understandable to bring water to pour tea for your husband.
But! In order to please Le Yumin, Li Min even held a birthday party for Le Yumin, and also found his ex-girlfriends to arrange his husband's birthday banquet together!
In Li Min's eyes, her husband's ex-girlfriend is also a part of his life.
Li Min frankly said that having children is a woman's unique vocation, in order to satisfy her foreign husband Le Yumin as a father, she did at least 9 test tubes!
In 2016, Li Min suffered from acute bronchitis and almost lost his voice completely, and Li Min took drugs for half a year during treatment.
The doctor told Li Min many times that he could not conceive a baby within half a year, and he had to wait for the side effects of the drug to completely disappear before he could prepare for pregnancy, but Li Min still took the risk of doing a test tube.
In 2018, Li Min also shared that she and her husband are working hard to have children, and Li Min has worked hard for 7 years for the crystallization of their love!
He waited 7 years for him to marry, and 7 years for a child.
Li Wen also posted a photo of a family of four more than once, and the happiness in her eyes was worthless in the eyes of Le Yumin and her daughter.
Whether this wedding was happy or not, it didn't surface until 2020.
Li Min's girlfriend couldn't bear to see her being bullied, revealing that Le Yumin had cheated many times, and now the two stepdaughters are also partial to their father and begin to distance themselves from themselves.
Li Min treated her two stepdaughters as if they were her own daughters, and the bamboo basket was empty, which made her even more sad.
It was also at this time that Li Min's depression became more serious, and her weight dropped to a worrying 42.3 kg.
In 2022, Li Min was diagnosed with early breast cancer lesions, in order not to worry her 80-year-old mother, she went to the hospital by herself, and let her sister hide from her mother.
Even during her surgery, Le Yumin was still spending time drinking with other women.
What is even more ironic is that Le Yumin's two daughters at this time have quietly cancelled their social accounts!
Perhaps, this marriage crisis is igniting a crisis without gunsmoke.
Rachel Rockowitz, the eldest daughter of Le Yumin, works at Universal Brands in London, and in 2022, Le Yumin also invested heavily to support her daughter's entrepreneurship, set up a technology company, and developed an APP.
Sarah, the second daughter, studied hypnotherapy and worked for a mental health charity, but she never paid attention to the depression of her stepmother, Li Min.
It was also from last year that Li Min also deleted several photos with his stepdaughter and Le Yumin.
In fact, in Li Min's marriage, her sister has always played an important role.
Before getting married, Li Min once thought about breaking up with Le Yumin, but her second sister advised her: "You have been in love for 4 years and have experienced a lot of ups and downs, don't break up easily."
When Li Min considered divorce after marriage, and the eldest sister persuaded Li Min to cherish this marriage!
This is also a big reason why Li Min was pushed into the abyss step by step, of course, the two sisters just want to save Li Min's marriage.
It is worth mentioning that after Li Min's unfortunate death, her sister Li Silin was interviewed by the media, and she said that the cause of her sister's death was not a pulse cut! The cause of death is left to be announced by the medical examiner.
She also revealed that her elderly mother is currently in poor condition and does not eat or sleep, which worries them.
An insider broke the news that Li Min's will left all the property to her mother, and the insider also broke the news that Li Min was supposed to divorce Le Yumin in July!
But the common property under the names of both parties will be an old account that is difficult to solve!
This is also one of the reasons why Le Yumin has not torn his face with Li Min for a long time.
For Li Min, she actually does not lack material life.
As early as 1999, just six years after Li Min's debut, Jackie Chan revealed that Li Min bought a villa in Beverly Hills (the most luxurious and wealthy area in the United States).
Li Min and Le Yumin loved to buy houses for investment, and in Hong Kong, where land is at a premium, the two invested more than 500 million yuan and bought at least 11 properties!
When the sound was recorded before, the limited edition cheetah pendant worn by Li Min on the show had a market value of more than 20 million!
The gold bracelets, gold rings, leather bracelets, and brand-name watches that can be seen on the body are worth nearly 100 million yuan.
Perhaps in the eyes of Le Yumin, their property is the top priority, just after Li Min died, Le Yumin also cancelled his social account, no longer have to face the condemnation and abuse of netizens.
But can you be so comfortable without seeing?
In fact, it's not just Li Min, this is the eighties and nineties, and even now, many girls who blindly marry foreign mysterious boyfriends are experiencing a life that is more terrible than widowed marriage!
We pray that Li Min in another world can be relaxed and happy for 365 days, and we also hope that Li's mother can get out of her sadness as soon as possible.
