In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
In 2004, Zhao Youquan, an influential taxi king in Hong Kong's business community, passed away suddenly, leaving a huge inheritance of up to HK$1 billion for his family. This news is like a bombshell, arousing the desire of family members to compete for wealth.
The wife of the main family, Wang Meiying, and their nine children naturally expected to share the property, but they did not expect that an unexpected character, Zhong Qunying, the second wife of Zhao Youquan, surfaced.
At Zhao Youquan's funeral, Zhong Qunying took out a brand new will from her bag in front of everyone, declaring that all the family property would be owned by her, and other family members would not get a penny.
The news came like a bolt from the blue, and the original children couldn't accept that their father would make such an unfair decision.
The original children firmly believe that this will must be fraudulent, and it is definitely not made when Zhao Youquan is conscious. So, without hesitation, they took Zhong Qunying to court and vowed to take back their part of the inheritance.
Since then, this protracted battle for heritage has begun. Chung insisted that the will was written by Zhao Youquan himself in 2003 and witnessed by a lawyer, which fully complied with the law.
The previous will to divide the property equally is no longer valid.
In the face of Zhong Qunying's resolute attitude, the original children were helpless. After a magnificent court debate, the court finally made a jaw-dropping ruling: the will in Zhong Qunying's hands is indeed legally valid, and all family property belongs to him.
This result undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the original children, and also raised questions about the fairness of this incident from all walks of life. Not only did the original children not receive any property distribution, but they also had to bear more than HK$10 million in litigation costs, which is really sad.
The legacy dispute that shook Hong Kong Island has profoundly revealed the power of the lure of money. A billionaire family is caught in a long and difficult legal dispute because of the fight for the inheritance.
In the end, the original children became the biggest losers in this fierce competition, which undoubtedly made people feel emotional.
At that time, Hong Kong was in the golden age of rapid development, attracting countless talents to this hot land. However, for the newcomer Zhaoyouquan, this is undoubtedly a road full of thorns and difficulties.
As an illegal immigrant, and his fluency in English, he could barely do some simple manual labor and earn a very small income.
At this low point in his life, Zhao Youquan met the other half of his life - Wang Meiying. This down-to-earth and generous Hong Kong girl reached out and enthusiastically introduced him to work.
So, the two young people quickly established a deep friendship, and finally in 1973, with the support of Wang Meiying's father, they entered the sacred hall of marriage together.
Soon after marriage, Zhao Youquan moved into Wang Meiying's house and started a new chapter in his life. However, he was not satisfied with this, and the desire for greater achievements burned deep in his heart.
One day, by chance, he saw the huge potential of Hong Kong's taxi industry, and with his savings and his father-in-law's assistance, the couple teamed up to buy 19 taxi licenses in one go at an auction.
It was a solid investment, and in just one year, they were able to recoup all their investment costs and just wait for the returns to roll in. The family cheered, all thanks to Zhaoyouquan's unique business vision and keen insight.
With this as a starting point, he continued to explore new business opportunities, dabbling in various fields such as real estate, and eventually became a veritable "taxi king".
In the 1980s, Hong Kong's economy took off like a rocket, the demand for the taxi industry surged, and the value of many license plates in Zhaoyouquan's hands soared. In this way, an ordinary person who originally had nothing, with his own wisdom and perseverance, succeeded in becoming one of Hong Kong's billionaires in only 10 years, creating a legendary story.
This huge wealth has also brought earth-shaking changes to Zhao Youquan's life. He began to indulge in lustful dogs and horses, and repeated extramarital affairs eventually led to the breakdown of his marriage with his original wife Wang Meiying.
When Zhao Youquan and a third party, Zhong Qunying, openly lived together, Wang Meiying was heartbroken and finally chose to end her life by suicide.
At this point, the once happy family fell into an endless haze. Zhao Youquan no longer has Wang Meiying in his life, he has married many newcomers, and finally has 19 children.
Throughout Zhao Youquan's life, it can be called ups and downs and magnificent waves. He was a poor teenager who rose from the bottom of the society, and through unremitting efforts, he finally soared to the sky and successfully became one of the top "taxi kings" in Hong Kong, with a wealth accumulation of hundreds of millions.
The ups and downs of life are here, when Zhaoyouquan was brilliant in his career, he gradually fell into the realm of erotic quicksand, became unable to extricate himself, and finally ruthlessly abandoned his wife and lovely children, and married several new ladies in one breath This can't help but sigh, the magic of money is so unstoppable! .
Zhaoyouquan's business empire is getting bigger and deeper, and it seems to have all the good things in the world. However, behind this seemingly glamorous appearance, his family life is full of endless gloom.
On the surface, Zhao Youquan and his wife Wang Meiying are in love, and they run a warm snack bar together, and they live a happy life. However, as his career continued to expand, Zhao Youquan gradually indulged in the abyss of lust.
A young woman named Zhong Qunying quietly came into his life, she was humorous and witty, and she was deeply attracted to the flowery radish of Zhao Youquan.
So, Zhao Youquan began an unknown extramarital relationship. He even boldly took Zhong Qunying back home and lied to his wife that she was the company's accountant. Although Wang Meiying was aware of this, as a virtuous wife and mother, she chose to endure silently, always standing firmly by her husband's side, and never complaining even in his most beautiful moments.
This long-standing illusion was finally exposed by the eldest son, Zhao Wenhu. He discovered the intimate relationship between his father and Jung Qunying, and in a fit of rage, he broke into the apartment and questioned his father in person.
Zhao Youquan listened to Xiao San's lies, became angry in front of his son, and announced their relationship on the spot.
Since then, Zhao Youquan has completely betrayed his original wife and nine children, and has never returned to that once warm home, but has lived a double life with Xiao San Zhong Qunying.
In order to stabilize his position, Xiao San even did not hesitate to sacrifice his two friends Lin Baozhen and Chen Guanqing.
During this period of "four people living together", Zhaoyou turned a blind eye to his original family, and even the existence of the children became a burden to him.
In 1991, the tortured original partner Wang Meiying finally reluctantly gave up the scarred marriage and officially submitted a divorce application to Zhao Youquan. Seeing her beloved husband turn around and throw herself into the arms of the juniors, Wang Meiying's heart was like a knife, and she was in pain.
It was so desperate and lost that she chose the extremely tragic death of self-immolation, so that she could not set foot on the land that once brought her joy and peace - Hong Kong!
This deplorable marital tragedy reveals how powerful the magic of money and power can be, allowing the once glorious man to recruit friends and gradually degenerate into a promiscuous person, ruthlessly abandoning his wife and children who depend on each other and becoming a prisoner of desire.
His ruthless indifference destroyed with his own hands the warm family that he had built through a lot of hardships and the cause he fought for.
Zhao Youquan once had a carefree and happy family, but he was eventually lured astray by the poison of money. He was deeply trapped in the whirlpool of polyamorous love and couldn't extricate himself, and abandoned his original wife Wang Meiying, who had accompanied him through countless ups and downs, and openly lived with Xiao San Zhong Qunying.
This marital tragedy not only deeply pierced the emotional bonds of the family, but also made us deeply realize how terrifying the temptation of money and power is.
At the end of his life, he suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and passed away in 2004 at the age of 55, leaving behind an astonishing fortune of HK$1 billion.
This news undoubtedly brought a huge shock to the whole family, especially the nine children of the original partner Wang Meiying, who rushed back to Hong Kong from all over the world, ready to compete for this huge inheritance.
However, who would have expected that at Zhao Youquan's funeral, the second wife, Zhong Qunying, suddenly announced a new will. The will clearly stipulates that all property is owned by her alone, and other children have no right to touch it.
This decision was like a bolt from the blue, and it hit the expectations of the original children hard.
Faced with such a cruel reality, the original children were extremely angry. They firmly believed that the will must have been fraudulent and that it was not made when Zhao Youquan was sober. Therefore, they did not hesitate to take Zhong Qunying to court and vowed to take back their legitimate rights and interests.
Soon after, the situation quickly escalated into a protracted battle for property litigation. The mother and children are skeptical and unyielding, and continue to work to subvert the authority of the will.
However, Zhong Qunying is still full of confidence, insisting that the will was drafted by her husband Zhao Youquan in 2003 and confirmed by the testimony of his lawyer.
After a long and complicated court process, the court finally made a jaw-dropping ruling: the will in Zhong Qunying's hands was confirmed to be legal and valid, and all the family property belonged to him.
This decision is like a slap in the face to the original children, who not only did not receive any distribution of property, but also had to bear the legal costs of more than HK$10 million.
This protracted battle for inheritance has not only caused deeper trauma to the already broken family relationship, but also attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. The fairness of the verdict has been questioned because it seems to defy common sense.
As the original wife and nine children of a billionaire, they have never received a penny of property, which is rare in real life.
At the end of his life, he left two diametrically opposed wills. The mother and the children were convinced that the former was true and valid, but in the end, the court ruled that the latter was legal and valid, much to everyone's shock and confusion.
A fierce battle for property began, and in the end, the mother and her children ended in defeat and suffered heavy blows and losses. This dispute has also made people deeply aware of the allure of money and the iron-faced selflessness of the law.
It is this tragic ending that makes people deeply appreciate the cruelty and ruthlessness of fate. For Zhao Youquan, although he has achieved brilliant achievements in his career, he has also paid a painful price for his marriage and family.
From a poor teenager to a well-known "taxi king" in Hong Kong, Zhao Youquan's life experience can be described as magnificent. With his ingenuity and perseverance, he gradually climbed to the top of his career and eventually became a billionaire.
However, at the same time, he gradually fell into the whirlpool of extramarital love and couldn't extricate himself, and finally turned his back on his original wife Wang Meiying, who had loved him for many years, and openly cohabited with his lover Zhong Qunying.
Even at the last moment of his life, Zhao Youquan still did not change his mind, but wrote a will in his own handwriting to completely hand over all his property to a third party.
This controversial and shocking battle for the inheritance not only deeply hurt the emotions of the original children, but also attracted deep doubts from all walks of life about the character evaluation of this "taxi king".
Indeed, Zhao Youquan's life is full of joys and sorrows, both brilliant business achievements and unfortunate marriage endings. As an ordinary person who lost himself under the temptation of money, he finally chose to turn his back on his family and abandon his wife and beloved children.
However, after his death, the battle for this vast legacy continued until 2012.
With such an ending, people can't help but sigh at the cruelty and ruthlessness of fate. Although Zhao Youquan eventually gained endless wealth, his inner world has long since become extremely empty.
Instead of cherishing his original happy family, he fell into the quagmire of lust and finally ended up with nothing.
As a microcosm of the times, Zhao Youquan's experience undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for us. On the road of pursuing material wealth, we must attach importance to family ethics and morality and cherish family affection.
Although money can bring superficial success, it cannot fill the emptiness and regret in the heart.
Zhao Youquan gradually grew from a poor teenager to a well-known "taxi king" in Hong Kong, and his career was booming, and he eventually became a billionaire. However, while his career was thriving, he gradually indulged in the trap of lust, and finally abandoned his original wife and children.
Even at the last moment of his life, he still did not choose to repent, but wrote a will in which he completely handed over all his property to a third party. This ending undoubtedly makes people sigh at the ruthlessness of fate, and it also sounds a wake-up call for us.
Through an in-depth analysis of this inheritance dispute that shook the whole of Hong Kong, it is not difficult to find many deep-seated problems hidden in it.
First of all, this case reveals how amazing the allure of money can be. An originally happy family was ruthlessly torn apart by money. Zhao Youquan indulged in the abyss of lust, and finally abandoned his wife and children, and lived a "foursome" life with many lovers.
Although at the end of his life, Zhao Youquan did not choose to repent, but personally drafted a will to give all his property to a third party. This behavior is undoubtedly infuriating and lamenting, revealing the enormous power of the lure of money.
Secondly, this incident also clearly shows the serious lack of family ethics and morality. As a tycoon with a net worth of more than 100 million, Zhao Youquan should have regarded family harmony and establishing a good atmosphere as an important goal in life.
However, in fact, he chose to turn his back on his relatives and indulge in lust, which not only caused deep damage to his wife and children, but also brought a fatal blow to the foundation of his career, which undoubtedly caused deep heartache and endless despair.
Moreover, this battle for inheritance, which involves huge wealth, has exposed many flaws in the legal system. Despite the justification of the original children, they ended in a fiasco, and the lawsuit ended in their total defeat.
The court's decision calls into question its fairness and reasonableness, and the fact that a billionaire's original wife and children have not even received a penny is obviously contrary to our basic cognition and moral concepts, which also prompts us to think deeply about whether it is money or justice that is leading the direction of this society.
Finally, this incident has also triggered the public's deep thinking about the value of life. Zhao You has been pursuing money and power all his life, but in the end he is lonely towards the end of his life.
And his original wife Wang Meiying, after experiencing her husband's betrayal and family breakdown, chose to end the pain in such an extreme way as suicide, which undoubtedly makes people feel emotional and sad, no matter how much money there is, it can't fill the hollowness and regret in the heart, therefore, we should cherish the family and life in front of us, and don't be confused by the appearance of material.
All in all, this inheritance dispute, which has attracted widespread attention in Hong Kong, is a wake-up call for us. It not only reveals the astonishing power of the lure of money, but also highlights the serious lack of family ethics and morality, as well as the many shortcomings of the legal system.
This makes us have to reflect on whether we have neglected spiritual happiness and values in the pursuit of material wealth, and only in this way can we build a harmonious and stable social environment.
