The history of struggle in Hong Kong
In 1956, Wang Meihua was born in New Taipei City, Taiwan, in a family with a meager income. There are seven people in the family, but they can only be crammed into a small and simple house, relying on the salary of their father Zeng Qirong to support the family expenses.
The constraints of life made them unable to pay for their children's tuition, so 14-year-old Wang Meihua had to give up her studies and instead sing in song halls to earn money to support her family.
Despite the difficult environment, Wang Meihua was born with an extraordinary passion and talent for music. She worked hard and her singing skills became more and more sophisticated, and soon had the opportunity to perform in Hong Kong with the song and dance troupe.
What Wang Meihua never expected was that the organizer of this performance was Zeng Zhiwei's father, Zeng Qirong, a senior detective of the Hong Kong Police Force.
Seventeen-year-old Wong Mei Wah is like a bird that has just left the nest, full of yearning and curiosity about Hong Kong, a city that is drunk with money. Zeng Qirong and his wife intentionally or unintentionally brought her into a high-end restaurant, so that she could feel the beauty of life in the praise of the sisters of the song and dance troupe.
The young and handsome Zeng Zhiwei was deeply attracted by Wang Meihua when he saw the energetic Wang Meihua on the stage for the first time, and started a passionate pursuit.
Although Zeng Qilian privately thinks that his son's appearance is mediocre and it is difficult to make a good match with a beauty like Wang Meihua, he still appreciates this young girl's sincerity, kindness and outstanding appearance.
In order to help his son, he decided to use his influence to hype up Wang Meihua in Hong Kong's high society.
Four years later, 18-year-old Wang Meihua received a marriage proposal from Zeng Zhiwei, and learned that this was not only Zeng Zhiwei's personal wish, but also the result of his parents' expectations. Although she was a little hesitant about this, Wang Meihua was still full of longing, and resolutely agreed to this family affair and married into the Zeng family, a wealthy family in Hong Kong.
The wedding scene was extremely grand and magnificent, and political and business celebrities came to bless them, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Regain your freedom
At the beginning of marriage, Wang Meihua has been yearning for married life for a long time and has infinite beautiful fantasies. But the reality was like ice water that woke her up.
Zeng Zhiwei, the newlywed Yan'er, wandered the world all day long, leaving Wang Meihua, a strange bride, alone in a luxury villa. As a newcomer from a foreign country, Wong Meihua is not very fluent in Cantonese and cannot communicate with the servants smoothly.
What's worse is that she has no career at all in the Zeng family and lives a life of strict constraints.
"In my married life, Zeng Zhiwei and I almost never quarreled, because we saw very little often. Wang Meihua said sadly. Most of the time, she's either waiting in agony to get in touch with the scumbag or struggling with his deep-seated juniors.
At the beginning, Wang Meihua also tried to cater to Zeng Zhiwei and did her best to promote the development of the Zeng family's career, hoping to win back his attention to herself. She even gave birth to two sons in just a few years, but every time she gave birth, Zeng Zhiwei stopped at the inheritance of responsibility and never accompanied his wife with the slightest love.
Gradually, Wang Meihua recognized the cruel reality of this marriage - even if she had money, she could not be happy. What's even more ironic is that her mother-in-law is actually on guard against her, even if the jewelry she wears is carefully hidden, for fear that she will take advantage of the family.
Once, under the comfort of her father-in-law's "hold on for another ten years, maybe he will change his mind", Wang Meihua gave up the idea of leaving. But the resentment in her heart accumulated day by day, and one night three years after her marriage, she resolutely left the luxurious mansion of the Zeng family with only 500 Hong Kong dollars and started a new life of freedom.
After settling alone in Hong Kong, living a poor but free life, Wang Meihua returned to her old profession of singing in song halls to make a living. The only regret is that the two young daughters were taken away by the Zeng family and have not been heard from for many years.
In order to see her daughter often, she even moved next door to her ex-in-laws' house, tirelessly looking forward to the opportunity to repair the relationship between mother and daughter.
Support the cause
Although the fate with her daughters was interrupted, Wang Meihua never gave up hope of finding relatives. In order to atone for her sins, she took the initiative to take care of her great-grandparents, and proved her sincerity with her actions.
It wasn't until the eldest daughter Zeng Baoyi was 15 years old that Wang Meihua finally re-entered her life. At the beginning, Zeng Baoyi, who was in adolescence, had a strong resistance to the long-absent mother, and it was difficult to repair the mother-daughter relationship.
But Wang Meihua never gave up, and finally warmed her daughter's heart with sincere love and patient waiting.
As time passed, Zeng Baoyi gradually let go of her mother's decision to leave them behind. At one point, she even defended her mother's departure, saying, "She was in her early twenties at the time, and it was not easy to raise us alone."
Watching her daughter grow up, Wang Meihua was extremely gratified.
With the full support of her mother, Zeng Baoyi gradually regained the glory of her acting career. And Wang Meihua also emerged in the Taiwan circle because of the unique identity of "Zeng Zhiwei's ex-wife", became a well-known host, and participated in hosting many variety shows.
The most memorable time the two shared the stage was at the scene of "Happy Lions". Zeng Zhiwei, who originally came to promote the new film, reunited with his ex-wife Wang Meihua on the spot and staged a good show of "Lion and Tiger Fight".
At the beginning, Wang Meihua unabashedly bitterly expressed her grievances for many years, and asked Zeng Zhiwei why he had bullied her like this for 35 years. The scene was very embarrassing for a while, which made Zeng Zhiwei embarrassed.
But just when the atmosphere was tense, the host unexpectedly invited the two to sing the classic old song "Fen Feiyan", which instantly resolved the tense atmosphere of the scene.
When Zeng Zhiwei affectionately expressed his inner gratitude, Wang Meihua burst into tears, and the affectionate embrace of the mother and daughter moved the audience. Afterwards on the show, someone asked her if she regretted marrying Zeng Zhiwei back then, Wang Meihua said frankly: "There is no doubt that I will still choose this way."
It can be seen that the relationship between mother and daughter has been rebuilt and is closer than ever.
It's hard to hide the old feelings
Despite the grievances and entanglements with Zeng Zhiwei, Wang Meihua still has deep feelings for him. Whenever the media questioned her "consumption ex-husband", she never defended herself, but was happy to admit her attachment to him.
Just when everyone thought that she would be alone, in 2012, it was reported that she was in love with Taiwanese actor Wang Jianmin, who was 12 years younger, which caused an uproar.
Faced with the doubts of public opinion, Wang Meihua bravely confessed this relationship on a variety show.
However, this love model, which was called "weird" by the outside world, did not last long, and they parted ways just three years later. Some speculate that the gap in the backgrounds of the two sides may be the trigger.
But some people think that Wang Meihua has a soft spot for Zeng Zhiwei, and this relationship is destined to end without a problem.
In fact, even after breaking up with Wang Jianmin for many years, Zeng Zhiwei's status in Wang Meihua's mind is still unshakable. From beginning to end, he was the first love of her life and the ideal object that she could never forget.
No matter how many twists and turns she has gone through in life, this ex-husband will always remain in a corner of her soul and linger.
This dependence may come from the regrets of married life. For example, in the middle of the night, Zeng Zhiwei once kept caring for her through voice, for fear that she would be tired on the road to fighting cancer.
This kind of protection from afar has become the driving force for Wang Meihua to persevere in the midst of her illness.
From participating in various variety shows to managing the unique identity of "Zeng Zhiwei's ex-wife", many people criticized her for being a "consumer ex-husband". But Wang Meihua herself never thought so, she was just repaying Zeng Zhiwei's care and care for her with practical actions as always.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Wang Meihua is destined to be fixed as "Zeng Zhiwei's ex-wife" and "Zeng Baoyi's mother". But in her own opinion, this reluctant emotion is also her attachment to the once happy married life.
