On August 29, some netizens met Li Ka-shing at Tsz Shan Temple in Hong Kong.

It was Obon Day, and 96-year-old Li Ka-shing wore a white mask and a suit to worship Buddha. Probably old, he did not walk, sat on the electric car the whole time, Li controlled by himself, and did not need anyone's help.

There are many service staff around, more than a dozen bodyguards stand in layers, and a nurse takes care of them closely. Among the entourage, there was Li Ka-shing's 30-year-old "confidante Zhou Kaixuan", who wore sunglasses, a black sweater and blue denim, looking mentally competent. When Li Ka-shing got off the electric car, she helped her intimately.

In addition, there are also Li Zekai and suspected Liang Luoshi in the entourage, it is very understandable that the son accompanied his father to worship Buddha, and Liang Luoshi's appearance is more like the confirmation of the rumor of "Li Zekai Liang Luoshi compound" that has been hyped for a long time.

Li Ka-shing was very religious, and he still insisted on paying homage to four or five Buddha statues with mobility difficulties, and all of them bowed down sincerely. The whole process was not cleared, netizens were less than one meter away from him, in addition to not allowing him to take pictures, you can greet him freely, and Li Ka-shing will also respond cordially.

Li Ka-shing's most famous business is real estate, but there are several "properties" that are more special, hiding Li Ka-shing's "spirit" and "life", such as temples.

The Cishan Temple that came to worship the Buddha this time was built by Li Ka-shing himself.

Li Ka-shing's soul "belongs"? /

Tsz Shan Temple is located in Tung Tsz Mountain, Tai Po, Hong Kong, backed by Pa Sin Ridge, facing the sea view of Plover Cove, and the terrain is open. Covering an area of 4.7 hectares and a construction area of nearly 5,000 square meters, the temple was built in 2003, and when it was completed at the end of 2012, Li Ka-shing also presided over the "Tibet Entry Ceremony", and from April 15, 2015, Cishan Temple was officially opened to the public.

The temple was built with a full donation of HK$1.5 billion from the Li Ka Shing Foundation, and has since continued to increase operation and maintenance costs, with a cumulative donation of HK$3 billion so far. And the purpose of construction is not a tourist attraction, it is for "communication" matters, with a daily limit of 400 people, and according to the information provided by netizens, it is generally necessary to book one month in advance.

Where is all this money spent?

First of all, the layout of the monastery is like this:

The temple adopts a biaxial design, with the mountain gate, Maitreya hall, and Daxiong treasure hall on the central axis, stretching outward on the east and west sides, the Guanyin Hall and the Guanyin statue on the right side of the east axis, and the Tibetan scripture pavilion on the left, which looks like a bird that has been spreading its wings and flying.

The architecture of the temple is modeled on the style of the Tang and Song dynasties, using a shingle structure, the wood is rosewood imported from Africa, the gray tile is imported from Japan, and the three large Buddha lotus-shaped treasures on the Daxiong treasure hall are covered with 24K gold, the overall style is simple and elegant.

The biggest feature of Tsz Shan Temple is that it has a top-secret bulletproof meditation room, the innermost room of the Tibetan scripture pavilion is called "Weimo Room", there are 5 rooms on two floors, all windows are equipped with bulletproof glass, the largest one-sided suite on the left, with an area of 30 square meters, and the floor and wall are embedded with steel plates up to 20 mm thick, which can withstand the impact of explosion.

This configuration once became a hot topic in Hong Kong, and some people said that this was Li Chaoren's private meditation room, and the bulletproof facilities to build the house cost about 4 million Hong Kong dollars. But the monastery came out to explain: "Highly fortified rooms are for anyone in need, not for anyone." ”

These are only the hard decorations of monasteries, and soft decorations cannot be measured in money.

There are many "decorations" in the courtyard, including the folding branches of the Bodhi sacred tree presented by Sri Lanka, and the murals photographed and copied from the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. The most famous statue in the courtyard is the Subai Guanyin statue, which is made of bronze alloy, with a total height of 76 meters and a height of about 20 floors, making it the second tallest outdoor statue in the world.

The statue is sprayed with white fluorocarbon paint, which can be self-cleaning and does not require special care, and Ho Peibin, a statue consultant and professor at the School of Architecture of Hong Kong Chinese University, joked that "it should be repaired after at least 200 years".

This land can be regarded as a "sea view", and it is very valuable in Hong Kong, where every inch of land is expensive. However, Li Ka-shing took over the 50,000-square-meter mid-mountain land for HK$1,410 per square meter, a total of less than HK$80 million, on the grounds of "building a temple for Hong Kong citizens".

Who earned it goes without saying.

Tsz Shan Temple also has a board of directors, and although the chairman of the board is the "head" of the monastery, the board members are core members of the Li family, including Li Ka-shing and his two sons.

In May 2018, 22-year-old Li Side (Li Ka-shing's eldest granddaughter) was promoted to director of Cishan Temple, officially entering the "inner circle" of the Li family.

Li Ka-shing has a spiritual belonging, and the physical "resettlement home" is well known.

"Li Family City" copper wall iron wall /

In 1996, Zhang Ziqiang, the "bandit of the century", was strapped with bombs all over his body, walked into the Li family's mansion, and said to Li Ka-shing lightly, "I tied your eldest son." Li Chaoren asked unhurriedly, "How much do you want?" ”

The latter incident was disclosed many years later, and after "friendly negotiation" between the two, Li Ka-shing paid 1.038 billion Hong Kong dollars to redeem his son.

After this incident, Li Ka-shing realized the importance of security.

He hired professionals to design a security system for himself, not only built a very strong team of bodyguards for himself and his descendants, but also spent more than 10 years to carry out a comprehensive security upgrade of the Li family's mansion.

Located at 79 Sham Shui Wan Road, Southern District of Hong Kong Island, the Lee Family Mansion is located mid-up a hill, backed by a steep cliff facing the sea, and usually only one road passes, which is extremely private, which in itself is the first line of defense.

The exterior wall of the Li family's mansion is two or three meters thick, and ordinary vehicles do not move when they collide, in addition, infrared detection is installed on the wall, and the slightest touch will sound an alarm. There are numerous 360-degree cameras inside and outside the wall, and staff members monitor in front of screens 24 hours a day. There is also a high power grid installed on the wall, which will be charged to the touch, and it is difficult to enter the courtyard unless it falls from the sky.

Even if he successfully flew into the yard, he would not be able to enter the Li family's mansion.

The exterior of the Li family's single-family villa is all made of bulletproof glass, and it is useless to shoot at close range and snipe at a long distance. The roof roof is not connected to the room on the third floor, and the helicopter cannot enter the room when it is flying to the rooftop. It is not feasible to dig a tunnel, the foundation of the villa is more than ten meters thick concrete, and the upper shield machine cannot dig through.

The villa has a total of 3 floors, Li Ka-shing lives on the third floor, the eldest son Li Zeju's family lives on the second floor, and the first floor lives in security guards, nannies, and some entertainment rooms. Each floor is equipped with a separate "safe room", made of special steel materials, ordinary guns can not penetrate at all, it is said that the cost of safe houses alone is as high as 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

If someone really breaks into the villa through layers of security, Li Ka-shing and Li Zeju's master bedroom also has a hidden "escape door", enter the escape door and close the mechanism, like an ancient tomb unloading a broken dragon stone, the outside cannot be opened at all. As for where the other end of the escape door leads, outsiders have no way of knowing.

The renovation of the Lee family mansion was completed in 2013 and the Hong Kong media dubbed it "Lee Family City".

At the end of 2013, three burglaries occurred in Hong Kong's luxury residential area, and the criminal gang skillfully evaded surveillance and security, and many wealthy families were stolen, but the Li family villa was not affected.

At that time, the media analyzed that the general thief would choose the highest-value target to start, but the "Li Family City" could not enter the water, so he turned to other mansions.

In addition, in 2015, Meng Hongwei, an unemployed young man, wanted to enter the Li family's mansion to try his luck, but was discovered by the camera just at the beginning of the wall, and was captured and sent to the bureau a few minutes later. This person may not know that even if he climbs through Gaoqiang, there is still a power grid inside, as well as a large number of security personnel and a "doomsday fortress" that cannot be penetrated by guns.

In this way, Li Ka-shing's "body" and "mind" have belonged, and his home is also quiet and good.

For the relationship between Li Ka-shing and Zhou Kaixuan, both of them follow the principle of low-key handling, and the "scandal" has been rumored for more than 30 years, and Hong Kong people know it, but they have not been recognized by the two.

Judging from the pictures released by netizens on August 29, Hong Yan confidant Zhou Kaixuan firmly sat in the position of "the woman behind Li Ka-shing". She has been following behind Li Ka-shing, almost inseparating an inch, and carefully taking care of Mr. Li.

Zhou Kaixuan is not only a "red sleeve fragrance" for Li Ka-shing, but also a right-hand man in his career, she is a director and think tank of the Li Ka-shing Foundation. In the 90s, the two met for real estate projects, and she successively served as the key head of Li Ka-shing's technology company TOM, and TMT investment fund Victoria Harbour Investment, and later became a director of the Li Ka-shing Foundation.

In 2007, Zhou Kaixuan suggested that Li Ka-shing invest in Facebook, and the Internet company later grew, making Li Chaoren billions of dollars profitable. In 2013, Li Ka-shing was besieged by public opinion for some acts of withdrawing from the mainland, and she planned to arrange for Li Ka-shing to "talk" with the mainland media, and public opinion subsided a little.

As early as 1993, Zhou Kaixuan helped Li Ka-shing deal with the Shanghai Oriental Plaza project and received a commission of 2.5%, equivalent to 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Backed by the richest man, working beside Li Ka-shing for nearly 30 years, Zhou Kaixuan's net worth has exceeded 10 billion, steadily occupying the top five of Hong Kong's richest women, and reaching the second place at the highest.

Although the two did not publicly announce their relationship, there are indications that Li Chaoren enjoyed it and played with the sunset red.

In the distribution of Li Ka-shing's family property, Li Zeju is in charge of the Yangtze River industry, the eldest son Li Zeju has always been cautious in his words and deeds to silently protect the family business, and his wife Wang Fuxin (renamed Wang Liqiao) is even more low-key, and the two have three daughters and a son.

The only sensational news about Li Zeju in recent years is about Li Zeju's eldest daughter, Li Side.

On June 23, 2023, Li Side, the eldest granddaughter of Li Ka-shing and the eldest daughter of Li Zeju, appeared for the first time in a £485 million M&A press release as the core management of a family-listed company, and the article specifically quoted Li Side's words to characterize the transaction. The media saw it as a signal that Li Side was the successor of the third generation of the Li family.

In May 2018, at the age of 22, Li Side was promoted to the director of Tsz Shan Temple. At the end of 2018, at the behest of his grandfather, Li Side joined the director of Mega Real Estate, and the director of this company has been Li Ka-shing and his two sons for the first time in nearly 20 years.

In 2020, 24-year-old Li Side also became a director of the Li Ka Shing Foundation, which Li Ka-shing once described as his "third son." Li Zeju also arranged some experienced management to "assist" Li Side.

The succession situation of the third generation of the Li family gradually became clear, and Li Zekai, the second son who was most reassuring to Li Ka-shing, also began to "collect his heart".

On August 10, Liang Luoshi returned to Hong Kong to participate in a wedding banquet, and the photo he shared deliberately coded the person next to him, but the media judged by his height and figure that this person was likely to be Li Zekai.

The rumors about Li Zekai and Liang Luoshi getting back together have been around for a long time, and on June 18, Liang Luoshi publicly celebrated his birthday with the text "friendship". This day happens to be Father's Day, and Liang Luoshi's real birthday is June 23, and the two holidays are deliberately overlapped to make the outside world think.

In addition to the time of birthday, the birthday cake on the day is also very interesting. There are a total of four cartoon characters on the cake, one of which has similarities with Li Zekai in terms of placement and character image.

With three sons as a bond, the relationship between the two cannot be strangers. There are even tabloid rumors, swearing that the two have been low-key back together for a year. If the person who went to Cishan Temple with Li Ka-shing on August 29 was Liang Luoshi, it means that Li Chaoren has recognized the relationship between the two.
