In 1997, Deng Yongxiang, who had a lot of money, asked his son Deng Zhaozun on his deathbed: "You must be a loser in the future and spend money with all your might." It wasn't until many years later that Deng Zhaozun understood his father's good intentions.
In Hong Kong, there is a man named Tang Zhaozun, and his birth contains a family legend. He was born into a prominent family, and his father, Tang Wing-cheung, was not only a famous Cantonese opera actor in Hong Kong, but also a legendary figure who struggled to fame and profit all the way from a poor background.
Tang Yongxiang's childhood was full of hardship, he was abused by his stepmother and forced to leave home, but with his love and talent for Cantonese opera, he persevered and eventually won fame and fortune in the theater industry.
However, in his later years, Deng Yongxiang was deeply involved in a love affair with the young dancer Hong Jinmei. Behind this relationship, there is a series of shocking events. In order to enter the Deng family, Hong Jinmei did not hesitate to carry out a secret act for 27 years, which disrupted Deng Yongxiang's life.
Her marriage to Deng Yongxiang forced Deng Yongxiang to divorce his wife in his later years, a decision that will be regretted for the rest of his life. After marriage, Hong Jinmei gave birth to four children for Deng Yongxiang, and Deng Zhaozun, as the eldest son, witnessed his mother's ambition and influence on his father.
Hong Jinmei's behavior became more and more excessive, she not only slandered his ex-wife in front of Deng Yongxiang, but also blatantly transferred assets in an attempt to seize all the property alone after Deng Yongxiang's death.
Deng Yongxiang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided to revise his will and divide all the property equally among his children, so that Hong Jinmei would not be touched by a penny. The move sparked a fierce family dispute over property. After the two quarreled, Hong Jinmei's stimulation caused Deng Yongxiang to suffer a stroke and be bedridden.
At the end line of his life, Deng Yongxiang made a special wish to Deng Zhaozun: to be a loser and squander all his inheritance, so as not to fall into the hands of Hong Jinmei again. Deng Zhaozun kept in mind his father's entrustment and began his road to defeat.
In 1997, Deng Yongxiang passed away, and then a lawsuit between Hong Jinmei and Deng Zhaozun's brothers and sisters, which lasted for more than 20 years, broke out. Hong Jinmei questioned the authenticity of the will, and transferred the property privately, even at the expense of going to court with Deng Zhaozun.
In this long struggle, Tang spent a lot of money just to defend his father's last wish and ensure that the inheritance would not fall into the hands of his greedy mother. Until 2019, 74-year-old Hong Jinmei lost the lawsuit and died. At this point, this family dispute finally came to an end.
Deng Zhaozun fulfilled his father's last wish, he squandered a large fortune that was once a wealthy man, and ensured the safety of his father's estate. He fulfilled this mission with tenacity and loyalty, protecting the dignity of his family.
And this story, full of family grievances, power struggles and emotional entanglements, shows the most complex conflicts of family, love and wealth in life, and also reveals Deng Zhaozun's legendary life as a loser.
