Once upon a time, she was a popular film and television star, illuminating the screen with a glittering light; Now that she is dying, the years have cast traces on her countenance.
However, this senior artist named Liu Xiaoqing still attracts the attention of countless people.
Recently, the news of the reappearance of an old story has awakened the world's memories of this legendary woman - it turned out that Liu Xiaoqing decided to sell a luxury apartment worth up to 90 million yuan in Sydney! This mansion can be described as a testimony of the deep love between her and her late husband Wang Xiaoyu, and was once a gift from Wang Xiaoyu who spent 8.8 million Australian dollars on her own.
When you think about the legendary life story of this elderly man, there is a fascinating reason behind her every decision. When she was young, she played the empress of the Tang Dynasty in the film and television drama "Wu Zetian" with her outstanding acting skills, and became famous in one fell swoop and climbed to the peak of her career.
Who would have expected that the good times would not last long, and a sudden tax evasion storm would drag her into the whirlpool in her heyday. In order to survive the financial hardship, she was forced to sell off her private assets.
Even after all the vicissitudes of life, Liu Xiaoqing has never said "no" to life. With the ideal of starting anew, she worked tirelessly on the road of acting. Years of perseverance have finally paid off, and she has regained her former aura.
But just as her career rebounded and her life was rearranged, she once again made an unexpected decision - to sell her Sydney mansion.
This deal will undoubtedly bring her considerable financial benefits, but for this goddess of the film industry who has fallen to the bottom several times, there should be more profound reasons for the decision, right? Has she completely let go of the past and let go of that sincere marriage? Or is it for some other reason? Let's embark on a time tunnel of indulgent fantasy and deconstruct the reasons behind this unexpected decision.
Climb the hall to inspire the dream of youth
To trace Liu Xiaoqing's legendary life, we have to start with her radiant youth. In 1986, a TV series of the same name depicting the legendary life of Tang Dynasty Empress Wu Zetian swept thousands of homes, and countless viewers went crazy about it.
It was the young Liu Xiaoqing who played the role of Wu Zetian.
In the play, she is sometimes heroic and sassy on the battlefield, sometimes she is talented and presiding over the government, and sometimes she is charming and enchanting, attracting everyone's coveting. She seemed to be the wise, decisive and charming empress in front of her, which made the audience scream again and again.
This outstanding acting skills not only won Liu Xiaoqing the praise of countless fans, but also made her climb to the peak of her acting career and become famous.
Who would have thought that just when his career was reaching its peak, a sudden tax evasion storm dragged this star in his heyday into the whirlpool abyss. In order to tide over the current economic difficulties, Liu Xiaoqing had to be forced to sell his property.
It was undoubtedly the darkest period of her career. Once upon a time, she was a highly sought-after popular movie star, with a sparkling diamond ring in her hand; And now, she has to survive in a dark corner, living a life surrounded by finances.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoqing did not give up. Even after suffering such a heavy blow, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, and worked tirelessly on the road of acting with the belief of starting anew.
Sure enough, after this baptism of tribulation, she soon regained her past brilliance and once again shined dazzlingly in the film industry.
The sea of love is fluttering, flashing the luster of true love
In addition to his brilliant acting career, Liu Xiaoqing's colorful emotional journey also makes the outside world linger. The first half of her life can be described as a bumpy love road, but her three husbands are difficult to last long.
's first husband is Jackie Chan's brother Wu Weiguo. When they first got married, the two were still a loving couple, but who expected that the conflict would soon be exposed in the media, and finally ended in divorce.
After that, Liu Xiaoqing threw himself into the arms of director Jiang Wen, and the two encountered a convenient pair when filming the movie "Furong Town". However, this love was just a flash in the pan, and it was soon punched hard by her ex-husband Chen Guojun and came to an abrupt end.
Liu Xiaoqing thought that he had finally found his heart in the talented scholar Aden, and the relationship between the two decided to become husband and wife after falling in love. Who knew that when preparing for the pregnancy examination, Liu Xiaoqing was ruthlessly abandoned by Aden, and the relationship between the two was completely broken.
Faced with emotional trauma again and again, Liu Xiaoqing was inevitably scarred in his heart.
Just when she was about to give up love completely, senior entrepreneur Wang Xiaoyu walked into her life at the right time. This well-known wealthy Australian businessman has admired Liu Xiaoqing for a long time, and his love is overflowing.
He resolutely extended an olive branch to her and pleaded with her to go on the last journey of her life.
In this way, the former radiant film superstar incarnated into a famous wealthy lady. After getting married, Wang Xiaoyu gave Liu Xiaoqing a top mansion worth 8.8 million Australian dollars, hoping that she could live a carefree and luxurious life.
Who would have thought that it was this husband's gift of love, but now Liu Xiaoqing decided to resell it, completely blocking the love between the two.
Showing off gifts is thicker than water
After marriage, Liu Xiaoqing is like opening the door to a new world of luxury. What she enjoyed was a top-notch experience like never before.
And the best embodiment of this is the luxury apartment in the prime location of Sydney that her husband Wang Xiaoyu gifted her.
This rare home in the heart of Sydney is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close to the most vibrant business and entertainment hubs. The apartments occupy the top floor of the building and offer sweeping views of the surrounding harbour.
Elegantly furnished, the clubhouse-level privacy and high-end amenities make it the perfect place to enjoy the ultimate in life.
It is reported that in order to dedicate this mansion to his beloved wife, Wang Xiaoyu spent a huge amount of 8.8 million Australian dollars to buy it with a bright eye. For a businessman, this amount of money is really expensive, which shows how eager he is to show his infatuation with Liu Xiaoqing.
Time flies, and now this mansion has been put up for sale by Liu Xiaoqing for a staggering $18 million, more than double the original purchase price, which is staggering.
After all, the relationship between husband and wife is entangled with fate, and it has always been unclear. For ordinary people, a seemingly insignificant thing often carries a unique story and deep meaning.
Take this mansion as an example, whether it is kept or sold, it seems to tell some feelings deep in Liu Xiaoqing's heart.
Disclose the origins and return to the truth
Regarding this unexpected luxury property change of ownership, Liu Xiaoqing did not keep silent, but frankly disclosed some reasons.
She admits that she has become more attached to this long-familiar Australian apartment.
After all, as she gets older, she wants to spend her old age in her hometown.
As a veteran filmmaker who has experienced several vicissitudes in the art world, the biggest yearning in my heart is to return to my homeland and live a peaceful life.
Once upon a time, she still cherished this Australian mansion. At that time, she was still young and cherished her husband Wang Xiaoyu's gift. But in the blink of an eye, the years flew by, and she had entered the age of sixties.
For a dying old man, enjoying his old age is the top priority, and material luxury seems a bit cumbersome.
Another important reason for her to sell her luxury home is that in recent years, the Australian government has introduced very strict tax policies on investment vacant properties. If she continues to hold the Australian property for a long time, she will face a heavy vacancy tax burden.
Instead of handing over a large amount of rent tax in vain, it is better to sell the mansion at a high price as soon as possible. Liu Xiaoqing did just that, not only to avoid the risk of being heavily taxed in the future, but also to obtain huge profits and add security to her life in her later years.
It can be seen from this statement that Liu Xiaoqing is quite frank about dealing with this gift from her husband before his death. She is neither blindly entangled in objects because of her feelings, nor too utilitarian and reluctant to seek the near and far.
This free and easy style of doing things is the most valuable harvest she has gained after decades of ups and downs.
Singing the wind and making the moon taste the fragrance of life
Looking back on Liu Xiaoqing's ups and downs in her life, she has suffered heavy losses on the dual journey of career and relationship several times, but in the end, she can always be reborn with her tenacious will and extraordinary wisdom.
Whether it was the tax evasion turmoil that dragged her from the peak to the abyss, or the relationship was shattered because she couldn't bear the burden of ideals, this veteran film goddess never said "no" to life.
It is this tenacity that never admits defeat that has allowed Liu Xiaoqing to go through a long road in life. From the young Wu Zetian, to the downfall of middle age, to today's gray hair, she has written wonderful chapters with her unique tenacity and courage.
Once upon a time, a charge of tax evasion almost extinguished her shine at the pinnacle of her career; Once upon a time, she did not hesitate to betray her marriage and wield the sword of divorce for her own selfish desires; But she finally survived and used her life to explain the true meaning of "big waves and sand" and "not forgetting the original intention".
Today's Liu Xiaoqing is already dying, but she is still full of enthusiasm for life. The decision to sell an Australian luxury home is a kind of examination and re-starting of her current life.
She was neither burdened by material luxury, nor trapped by emotional ties, but chose to return to her hometown and enjoy her old age in peace.
This free and easy philosophy of life is the valuable understanding of Liu Xiaoqing's decades of ups and downs. She learned to go with the flow, she learned to be at ease.
From a small fame to the peak of her career, from being trapped in prison to regaining her halo, she has lived generously in her own way.
Now, she can finally let go of her burden and enjoy the last journey of her life with peace of mind. Liu Xiaoqing's experience reminds us that life is difficult, but as long as we uphold our indomitable will, we will definitely be able to meet the rainbow after the storm.
