Zhou Haimei, a superstar in Beijing who was once in her prime, passed away last year at the age of 54 due to long-term ill health.
She had been in poor health due to low platelets and had to go in and out of the hospital frequently. In November last year, she was once again admitted to the hospital due to the deterioration of her condition, and unfortunately passed away after more than a month of rescue.
, a diva-level starring actor who has filmed many popular TV series, ended his retrograde due to health problems when his acting career was in full swing. Her death caused grief and nostalgia among the majority of fans. Tens of thousands of fans went to her home or hospital to pay their respects to her. She walked peacefully, but brought a heavy loss to relatives, friends and fans.
Beijing Shunyi luxury house for sale
Soon after Zhou Haimei's death, it was rumored that her mansion in Beijing's Shunyi District was about to change hands. According to the intermediary, Zhou Haimei's mother was unable to save it and found it difficult to manage this 500-square-meter high-end residence for a long time. In addition, I have lived in Hong Kong for a long time, and it is difficult to supervise the daily repair and maintenance problems, so I decided to sell this property at a price of 33.7 million Hong Kong dollars.
This mansion, which was once the base of Zhou Haimei's life in Beijing, has an elegant environment and luxurious decoration, with a kitchen and various living facilities downstairs. But for mothers, who are not often in Beijing, the burden is too heavy. Selling a property is a sound decision to position the family financially.
Household financial considerations
Since the family has been away from the city of Beijing for a long time and has no need to live in Beijing for a long time, the various expenses for maintaining this mansion are obviously a heavy burden on them. According to the news, the monthly utility bills, property fees and other expenses of this 500-square-meter high-end residence may require nearly 100,000 yuan.
For a long-term Hong Kong family, this is an unbearable expense. As a result, the family made the decision to sell the property to solve the financial pressure in cash, which is also more in line with the needs of their long-term residence. From this point of view, this is indeed a wise and measured decision.
The market value of a luxury home
Although the price is high, the value of this luxury house under Zhou Haimei's original name may increase because of its celebrity. The price of 33.7 million Hong Kong dollars is 5-6% premium to the surrounding housing prices. But in terms of land size and the size of the house, this price is not excessive.
What's more, as a diva-level starring actor in the film and television industry, Zhou Haimei enjoys a high degree of popularity among fans. The house that once served her is now full of memories, and the realizable price should be overflowing with the same specification of real estate. Therefore, the price of 33.7 million is not too high. On the contrary, judging from the trend of house prices in the next few years, this price is already a relatively loose quotation window.
The idea of a fan museum
A potential buyer said that if the price was below HK$20 million, he would consider buying the property. It is planned to transform it into a fan memorial hall to collect Zhou Haimei's related film and television works and personal belongings used during her lifetime, so that more fans can have a place to remember.
This is a sincere idea. Since it is not convenient for the family to disclose Zhou Haimei's final resting place to the public, if this apartment capacity is transformed into a fan museum, then many fans who cannot go to the cemetery to pay their respects can at least find solace here. This is of great significance to Zhou Haimei and her fans.
Zhou Haimei's character and good deeds
During her lifetime, Zhou Haimei has always been known for her kindness and kindness. No matter where she is, she loves to help others. She has funded many public welfare projects, including poor students, elderly homes and other groups. Despite her poor health, she still cares about the disadvantaged in society.
The staff around her recalled that she spoke softly to every staff member and gave the greatest care to everyone who contacted her. She proved with her actions the posture that a sincere and kind star should have. It is with such character charm that Zhou Haimei has won deep love among the fan base.
The public's perception of luxury homes
Many netizens discussed whether it was unlucky to buy Zhou Haimei's house before her death. But there are also those who believe that every family will have a story of birth, old age, sickness and death in their own house, and this is not inherently inappropriate. Moreover, Zhou Haimei is just about to finish her career in this house, and she has not been sick in bed for many years.
Some netizens pointed out that in ancient times, many people used their former homes as their final places. Nowadays, people often die in hospitals, but we do not intend to completely dismiss the role of hospitals. As long as this property is operated properly, the spirit of Zhou Haimei is fully understood, and it is open to the public, I believe there will be no bad omen.
The clash of traditional ideas and modern values
The real estate transfer incident of Zhou Haimei before her death actually reflects some conflicts between traditional concepts and modern trends. Traditionally, living quarters were considered ominous and inappropriate for others to use.
But nowadays, society is full of all kinds of assembly line goods, and real estate as a commodity is becoming more and more common.
