One day, Gu Weijun, the most powerful diplomat in the Republic of China, hoped that his son Gu Yuchang could take over his career. But the son was unwilling, and said in a cold tone: Dad, there are so many Chinese ambassadors, you became an ambassador because you married my mother, where can I find a rich daughter-in-law like her?
In our modern Chinese history, there is a diplomat named Gu Weijun, whose name is always mentioned along with his four wives.
This super talented diplomat, his story about getting married is also quite interesting.
His first marriage was set for him by his family, and his second wife, Tang Baoyue, was the daughter of a political tycoon who helped him politically.
The third wife, Huang Huilan, came from the super-wealthy Huang family, which helped him solve his economic problems and allow him to concentrate more on diplomatic work. In the end, his partner Yan Youyun accompanied him for the rest of his life.
Gu Weijun's concept of marriage reflects his philosophy of life: the first follows the will of his parents, the second takes a fancy to her prominent background, the third is because of her wealth, and the fourth is based on love, and the two have walked hand in hand to the end of their lives.
Among them, Huang Huilan's appearance is undoubtedly a highlight in his life, and her legendary background and unique personality also add luster to Gu Weijun.
In that turbulent era, a young man named Gu Yuchang inadvertently mentioned his mother Huang Huilan.
She is the daughter of Huang Zhonghan, the daughter of a famous Asian "sugar king". She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child, but her talent is much more than that.
Huang Huilan showed amazing intelligence from a young age, and by the time she was a teenager, she had already mastered skills in six languages.
Her versatility made her the brightest star of the Orient that year, shining with dazzling light.
Huang Huilan's diplomatic skills are really powerful. Soong Meiling once publicly praised her contributions, saying, "Don't ignore the crucial role of the ambassador's wife!"
Because of sufficient financial support, Huang Huilan has created good conditions for Gu Weijun on the international stage. Her personal commitment not only solved the financial pressure, but also gave the Chinese Embassy in Paris a new glow.
However, despite Huang Huilan's unique personality and lifestyle, it also creates a sense of distance between her and Gu Weijun.
She firmly believes in the value of self-dressing, not only for her own enjoyment, but also for the image of her country.
However, this view was not understood and supported by Gu Weijun. He has tried many times to make Huang Huilan restrained, and not even look too flashy when traveling.
The love story of Huang Huilan and Gu Weijun started with a special photo. Once accidentally saw a photo of Huang Huilan, Gu Weijun was attracted to her, and then began to pursue her.
At first, Huang Huilan didn't think Gu Weijun was good, but in the end, she was conquered by his personal charm.
He showed his deep affection for Huang Huilan with practical behavior, and in 1920, they held a grand wedding, and Huang Huilan became Gu Weijun's right-hand man.
As Gu Weijun's wife, Huang Huilan has shown an extraordinary temperament in diplomatic circles. She is passionate about attending gatherings and using her passion and wealth to fight for the dignity of her country.
But her lifestyle has caused some controversy. Huang Huilan admires luxury, insists on her own opinions, and is unwilling to follow her husband's advice.
As time passed, the relationship between Gu Weijun and Huang Huilan became more and more strained. Later, the appearance of Yan Youyun completely changed their marital status.
Because of Yan Youyun's careful care, Gu Weijun experienced the warmth of home, which eventually led Huang Huilan to decide to end their marriage.
Although their marriage lasted for 36 years, due to differences in concepts and life Xi, the relationship eventually ended in divorce.
After the divorce, Huang Huilan relied on the inheritance left by her father, while Gu Weijun married Yan Youyun after ending her diplomatic career.
Gu Weijun has a unique summary of his four marriages, each of which has given him unforgettable memories and a variety of different experiences.
On the other hand, Huang Huilan, in her later years, after enjoying the colorful experiences of life, finally left this world in 1993 and spent 100 years of life full of drama and aftertaste.
In Huang Huilan's life, she always showed her charm and value with a confident attitude. Even in the face of Gu Weijun's repeated advice, she always insisted on her own ideas.
She believes that a person's worth and charm are not only reflected in her status and wealth, but more importantly, her self-confidence and independence.
It was this attitude that made Huang Huilan one of the outstanding women of that era.
