"Cinderella Complex"
Li Zekai's preference for civilian women seems to stem from his inner yearning for "saving Cinderella". And the origin of all this can be traced back to the mystery of his mother Zhuang Yueming's bizarre death.
On New Year's Day that year, Zhuang Yueming was still in good spirits and accompanied her husband Li Ka-shing to attend an important banquet. No one would have expected that the next afternoon, the wife of the rich country died of a sudden heart attack.
At that time, Li Zekai was still young and ignorant, and watching the death of his mother, his heart naturally could no longer return to his former innocence.
In his autobiography, which was later published, Li Zekai sadly recalled the troubles of his mother's life. Zhuang Yueming has suffered from insomnia for a long time, and his mental state is always worrying.
As his mother's confidant son, Li Zekai naturally knows her every move.
The outside world has always suspected that the reason why Zhuang Yueming is so depressed and depressed is because Li Ka-shing's husband has already married a new love outside, causing her to become depressed and die of an overdose.
In this regard, Li Zekai deeply realized that his heartfelt love for his father began to waver, and the relationship with Li Ka-shing became increasingly estranged, and even at the mother's memorial service, the father and son were unable to say a word and could not communicate.
And just before Zhuang Yueming was alive, she once favored an illegitimate woman named Liang Luoshi. Leung Lok Sze grew up living in Hong Kong and Macau, where she spent a year as a homeless and socially discriminated orphan girl under her mother's care.
In order to heal the trauma of the family, Zhuang Yueming personally took the initiative to let his grandmother publicly admit the existence of Liang Luoshi, intending to accept this poor orphan girl into the wealthy family as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that it was this Liang Luoshi, who was once regarded as "Cinderella", but later became the first incarnation of Li Zekai's "Save Vulnerable Women" complex.
Everything seems to be an ugly trick of fate, but it is also destined for Liang Luoshi to struggle to survive in this family in the future.
History of Koi
Tracing Li Zekai's love history, it is not difficult to find that he fell in love with elite women in the workplace who paid equal attention to beauty and intelligence in his early years. When he was studying at Stanford University, he met a sweetheart with a Singaporean girl, and the two fell in love.
It's a pity that considering various factors, I finally chose to break up and go my separate ways.
After leaving the campus, Li Zekai set his fascination on Emily, who was working at the top of a famous department store chain at the time. Although she didn't make it to the end, Emily always left a strong mark in his heart.
It wasn't until 2001 that Li Zekai took a solid step on the road of love again.
That year, a British-mixed-race barrister Luo Aixin appeared on the trajectory of Li Zekai's life. She not only has a beautiful appearance, but also a strong woman in the workplace with outstanding wisdom, which naturally aroused Li Zekai's strong interest at once.
In this way, the two met each other, knew each other and fell in love, and started a new and romantic relationship.
However, in Li Zekai's life, the most valuable love is the encounter with a Japanese anchor in 1994. Karuna is not only from a scholarly family, but her parents are well-known professors, and she is also a high-achieving student with a master's degree from Columbia University.
What's even more outstanding is that she is also the chief anchor of NHK, a well-known Japanese TV station, and her status in the country is transcendent.
Such a family background coupled with outstanding talent and beauty is enough to make any man fall in love with it. The first time Li Zekai saw Garuna, he was deeply fascinated by her unique charm of elegance and generosity and outstanding temperament.
In order to be able to be by the side of the woman she loves at all times, Karuna resolutely resigned from her position as an anchor and went to work in Singapore, which is not far away.
In this way, the relationship between the two was like fire, and there was a flash of dawn that they were about to go to the red carpet. In order to show his sincere love for Karuna, Li Zekai transformed all the decoration styles in his home into Japanese style, in a vain attempt to show her his deep affection in this way.
It's a pity that although the relationship between the two is so pious and pure, this marriage still failed to win the approval of Li Ka-shing, the father-in-law. Li Ka-shing has always attached great importance to the tradition of being the right person, believing that the best candidate for a son-in-law is a suitable candidate from a Chinese family.
In this way, a romantic relationship that could have been cultivated into a positive result was cut off by the barrier of family tradition. It is a pity that it was precisely because of this blow that Li Zekai developed a paranoid complex of "saving vulnerable women" from the inside out, which led him to start to stay away from strong women in the workplace, and instead favored those civilian women who were born in poverty and were easy to control, and finally met and fell in love with Liang Luoshi, got married and had children.
The "Cinderella" experience
As Li Zekai's first celebrity girlfriend in his love career, Liang Luoshi's life trajectory has also opened a "Cinderella"-like experience.
At that time, Liang Luoshi, who was only 19 years old, was in the initial stage of his career, and he never expected that he would be fanatically pursued by Li Zekai, a rich boy. In order to be able to get close to his sweetheart, Li Zekai did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and directly bought out the contract of Liang Luoshi's brokerage company at that time, paying a large amount of expensive liquidated damages.
Although he was a little surprised by Li Zekai's enthusiasm, Liang Luoshi finally couldn't resist the warm love from this prince charming-like wealthy young master, and the two fell in love, got married in a flash and conceived their first child.
As an illegitimate daughter from a humble background and neglected by society, Liang Luoshi never imagined that she would have such a day and be able to step onto such a noble stage of life.
However, the more magical "Cinderella" story happened to another civilian woman. She is Liang Wenying. Liang Wenying, who was born in an ordinary family, suffered the divorce of her parents since she was a child.
The three sisters can only be raised by their father, their families are poor, and it is difficult to guarantee even the minimum education, so Liang Wenying has to step into the society after graduating from junior high school.
In order to improve the living conditions of her family, Liang Wenying devoted herself to her work. Just when she was most difficult, Li Zekai appeared in front of her like fate, not only meticulously funded her to return to campus to continue her studies, but also personally took her father and sister from a remote fishing village and placed them in Kang Yuen in the city.
It can be said that Liang Wenying is the purest incarnation of Li Zekai's "Save Vulnerable Women" complex. She received all-round care and funding from Li Zekai, and lived a new life that was similar to the past.
It's a pity that this "Cinderella" story, which had high hopes, failed to reach a happy ending in the end, and Liang Wenying soon mysteriously disappeared from the Li family's mansion.
The reason may be that the civilian women in Li Zekai's eyes are often easier to control, and at the same time, they can occupy a place in the distribution of family assets by giving birth to children, which has become a powerful bargaining chip in the struggle for wealthy families.
So for a woman from a humble background like Liang Wenying, his motive for taking care of her is not selfless.
New arrangements for assets
The Hong Kong tycoon has finally made a new arrangement for the distribution of family assets. According to credible sources, Li Ka-shing has set up at least four trust funds, each with a clear list of beneficiaries.
Li Zeju, the son of the Li family, and his family of three will undoubtedly be the key beneficiaries of these new funds. Since he was a child, Li Zeju has shown the same low-key and introverted and steady family traditional style as Li Ka-shing, and the heir to the throne seems to be just around the corner.
What's even more commendable is that Li Zeju not only has a happy marriage and a loving husband and wife, but his wife Wang Fuxin has helped him fulfill Li Ka-shing's unattainable wish - giving birth to three lovely daughters.
The birth of these three little princesses undoubtedly fills the regret of the Li family's lack of male inheritance, and they are likely to become strong contenders for the successor of the family in the future.
In comparison, Li Zekai's situation as the second child is quite troublesome. According to relevant reports in Hong Kong media, the three sons born to Li Zekai and his ex-wife Liang Luoshi were not included in the list of beneficiaries of Li Ka-shing's new wealth distribution plan.
Although the eldest son Li Changzhi is only three years old, which is almost the same age as Li Zeju's eldest daughter Li Side, it will still be a huge question mark whether he can obtain the right to inherit the family wealth he deserves in the future.
To add insult to injury, even Liang Luoshi, his ex-wife, was not destined to get any share of Li Ka-shing's huge family assets because of her humble background and no marital relationship with the Li family.
She has no choice but to watch the children's father and the gorgeous female stars who have nothing to do with other families fall in love, while she is often subject to some invisible moral shackles, living in the Li family's palace-like mansion but has no right to be the master.
To some extent, Liang Luoshi's situation is simply pitiful. She has to take care of her own flesh and blood diligently in such an embarrassing and helpless environment every day, but she has no way to share the family inheritance, and is destined to become a part of the Li family's periphery.
As the saying goes, "Businessmen have always been calculating the pros and cons."
Relationship changes
Zhuang Yueming's death is undoubtedly the biggest trauma in Li Zekai's life. Faced with the sudden death of his mother, this child, who was only a teenager at the time, naturally fell into endless pain and confusion.
In his memoirs, when Li Zekai looks back on those difficult years, his eyes are always filled with tears, and his gaze at the photos of his mother before her death is also permeated with indescribable sadness.
The death of his mother not only brought great trauma to Li Zekai's soul, but also imperceptibly affected the relationship between him and his father. Since then, Li Zekai's once heartfelt admiration for Li Ka-shing has begun to waver, and his relationship with the head of the family has become more and more estranged.
Even at the mother's memorial service, the father and son, who have always been close, can only be speechless to each other, and can no longer be as close as before.
And the relationship between Li Zekai and his eldest brother Li Zeju is also full of contradictions and turbulent undercurrents. The two brothers have always loved each other since they were young because of their family environment and personality differences, and there are often disagreements.
When they grow up, the lack of their mother, the backbone of the family, has become a gap that is difficult for them to cross.
Li Zeju followed the rules and embarked on the traditional successful life path paved for him by his father Li Ka-shing. And Li Zekai has a rebellious personality and behaves perversely, which gives his father Li Ka-shing a lot of headaches, and is regarded as a threatening "alternative" force in the family.
The two brothers are very clear to each other that in the inheritance of the Li family's family power, Li Zeju's status as the eldest son is unquestionable. This made Li Zekai gradually rise a sense of crisis in his heart, and he had certain worries about whether the family wealth could be fairly distributed.
However, since becoming a father, Li Zekai's mentality has also begun to undergo subtle changes. Although he still had many conflicts and estrangements with his father Li Ka-shing and brother Li Zeju at the beginning, his closeness to his family gradually grew as time went by.
Especially after learning that Li Zeju and his wife were happy to have a daughter, Li Zekai also felt a shock in his heart, and seemed to realize the importance of family incense inheritance. Since then, he has tried to become more stable in his demeanor, and gradually approached the family circle, and his relationship with his father, Li Ka-shing, has begun to show signs of easing.
