Preface
In "Journey to the West", Tang Seng was taken by the king of his daughter country, and in the face of the beautiful king, Tang Seng was still unmoved: "I hope that Her Majesty the Queen will let the poor monk go west, if there is a fate in the next life..."
The sentence "If there is fate in the next life" is enough to see that Tang Seng moved his heart.
It's a pity that I have an appointment with the Buddha, so I have no choice but to let go of my children's feelings.
However, Chi Chongrui, the "Tang monk" in reality, met a woman whose wealth was comparable to that of the king of the daughter country, and joined hands with her for more than 30 years.
But this relationship has been criticized, and even became a "soft rice man" in the eyes of the public.
But is that really the case?
"Soft Rice Man"
In addition to Chi Chongrui's role as "Tang Seng", which has attracted everyone's attention, his feelings have also attracted the attention of the public.
In "Journey to the West", he is a holy monk with a pure heart and few desires, a "Tang monk meat" that thousands of monsters want to eat, and a holy man in the eyes of the public.
But in real life, he married a rich woman who was 11 years older than her and was not good-looking.
For the relationship between the two, everyone didn't buy it, and always thought that Chi Chongrui was a "soft rice man".
Since they got married, the family status of the two is obvious, and it is clear who is at a disadvantage.
After getting married, Chi Chongrui quit the showbiz he liked and stopped acting.
The rich woman Chen Li Lihua likes Chi Chongrui's "Tang Seng" image, and he has been bald for decades.
Chen Lihua even set four rules after marriage: "First, don't interject when she speaks, don't say much." Second, you must wait for her to eat together, and you can't move the chopsticks first. Third, you can only lie on your side when sleeping, and you can't lie flat in large characters. Fourth, you can't have children in the future.
For these conditions put forward by the rich woman's wife, Chi Chongrui was willing.
In addition to these rules on the surface, in other aspects of life, Chi Chongrui is also cautious.
For example, if the two have a dispute, then the first one to bow his head must be Chi Chongrui.
For example, when traveling, Chi Chongrui must be the one who supports Chen Lihua.
Even if the two are in public, Chi Chongrui is treated like this.
At an event attended by Chen Lihua and Chi Chongrui in August 2023, just when Chi Chongrui wanted to sit down, he saw that Chen Lihua was not sitting, he immediately stopped thinking about sitting down, and hurriedly caught up with Chen Lihua in front.
And in terms of seating arrangement, Chen Lihua is in the center position, while Chi Chongrui can only be in the edge position.
Many people think that Chi Chongrui and Chen Lilihua have now gone through more than 30 years, and the two should be true love.
But these details in life all reveal Chi Chongrui's "humility" in marriage.
Especially after being married for so many years, Chi Chongrui has always called Chen Lihua "chairman" and used the honorific "you" when he speaks.
And Chen Lihua also called Chi Chongrui "Mr. Chi".
Mr. and Mrs. Hanji
In 1984, "Journey to the West" became popular, and the four masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West" were all on fire, especially the handsome "Tang Seng" became a national idol, and fans who admired "Tang Seng" lined up.
Tang Seng, who is not confused by any beauty in the play, everyone wants to see what kind of person he will find in reality.
And Chen Lihua is also a fan of Tang Seng, and she has a deep love for "Tang Seng".
In order to get acquainted with Chi Chongrui, she asked her friend Zhao Lirong for help.
Zhao Lirong played the role of "Queen Che Chi" in "Journey to the West", and has a good relationship with Chi Chongrui.
Under the guidance of Zhao Lirong, the two met.
When Chi Chongrui learned that the woman in front of him who looked average, married for the second time with four children, and was 11 years older than him, had a love for him, his heart was resistant.
But due to the introduction of acquaintances, he was not good at saving face for his friends, so he met Chen Lihua.
At that time, Chi Chongrui was not only acting, he also often sang in the theater.
Chi Chongrui himself was born in a Peking Opera family, and he himself likes to sing Peking Opera, but he became more interested in acting when he grew up and embarked on the road of an actor.
But he also goes to the show occasionally.
And since Chen Lihua met Chi Chongrui, she often went to the theater to cheer him on, and even chartered the venue many times.
Because of the situation, Chi Chongrui also had to communicate more with Chen Lihua.
However, after an in-depth understanding, Chi Chongrui saw a different Chen Lihua and was completely conquered by her personality charm.
Chen Lihua was born in the Summer Palace in Beijing and is the orthodox Manchu Zhenghuang Banner.
It's a pity that she is a declining Gege, and she is not noble because of her status, but she has created a rich country with her own hands.
Chen Lihua's family was poor, and she dropped out of high school after only finishing in high school.
In order to survive, she began to embark on the road of business at a young age.
At first, she worked in a furniture factory, but when she became familiar with furniture, she set up her own company and started a furniture business.
Because of her quick mind, warmth and integrity, she soon won her first pot of gold.
In 1981, Chen Lihua went to Hong Kong from Beijing, with a keen sense of smell, she set her eyes on the real estate business again, and through social relations, Chen Lihua made a lot of money in real estate.
Chen Lihua, who saw the sweetness, then invested in 12 villas in Belgium, and then sold them at a high price, allowing her to quickly complete the original capital accumulation.
The Forbes list soon had Chen Lihua's name.
After Chen Lihua made money as a businessman, she did not forget her Manchu descendants.
Adhering to the mentality of inheritance, Chen Lihua auctioned the cultural relics confiscated during the Cultural Revolution at a low price in the name of "goods", and these cultural relics also appeared in the museum built by Chen Lihua later.
After having funds, Chen Lihua began to focus on investment in Beijing, and she spent 450 million yuan to build the prime location of Chang'an Avenue and the Chang'an Club adjacent to Tiananmen Square.
With the accumulation of more funds, Chen Lihua has let go of her hands and feet to achieve diversified investment.
Focusing on real estate, taking into account high-end clubs, high-end apartments, property management, hotel management, tourism, commerce, network information, aviation services, and has branches in Australia and Southeast Asia.
After that, Chen Lihua put her main investment in the Northern Lights, and even got a lot of prime locations around Wangfujing, investing 500 million yuan to build Liyuan Apartment, 2 billion yuan to build Lishan Building, and 5 billion yuan to build 560,000 square meters of Fuhuayuan Community.
Chen Lihua's business empire doesn't stop there.
In 1999, Chen Lihua spent 200 million yuan to build the China Rosewood Museum, of which more than 300 pieces of Qing furniture are her treasures, and the remaining more than 2,000 pieces are all rare rosewood products produced by her own factory.
In her own words: "The property feeds back to the Rosewood Museum." ”
In 2008, Chen Lihua used red sandalwood and sunken wood to restore 16 old Beijing city gates and 10 corner towers, which were rated as intangible cultural heritage products by the state.
Chen Lihua, who is so bold in business, how can she not attract Chi Chongrui?
It's not easy for a man to be surprised in the mall, let alone a woman, and she does it so well.
On the other hand, in addition to Chen Lihua's talent in business, she is also very interested in traditional Chinese culture, and even Peking Opera is also her love, and the two can be said to coincide in their interests and hobbies.
Chen Lihua is resolute and resolute, Chi Chongrui is delicate and peaceful, and the two are a match made in heaven together.
"Mr. Chi" in Chen Lihua's eyes
Regarding the relationship between the two, Chen Lihua also heard a lot of rumors, but she never took these to heart.
On a show, she inevitably talked about these topics again, and she could only answer them one by one.
Chen Lihua said: "It is rumored that Mr. Chi has a humble status at home, and I still set rules, but in fact, it is not only against Mr. Chi. Everyone knows that I am a descendant of the Manchu people, and although the family is lonely, there should be rules. ”
When the host asked again about never calling each other's names in marriage, Chen Lihua looked at it like this: "This is just a title, since I know Mr. Chi called it like this, and she called me chairman, there is also an element of drama and abuse, and after a long time, it is called Xi." ”
In fact, marriage is like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing.
If Chi Chongrui is not true love, can he waste his best years on a woman?
If it's really for money, then when the money is in hand, he has become an old man who is about to enter the ground, what is he trying to do?
Besides, a man doesn't have a child of his own, if it's not true love, I really don't understand what he is pursuing?
There is also an obvious point, when going out, it is normal for Chi Chongrui to support Chen Lihua, after all, he is in his 80s, and he is not afraid of falling?
epilogue
Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua's marriage has been controversial for decades, but no matter how ugly it is rumored by the outside world, men are still in a stable relationship and accompany each other.
Therefore, whether it is love or marriage, there are many appearances, no matter which one it is, as long as the parties are happy, we can only say blessings!
