The halo era, which was once known as the "Four Youths of Beijing", has gradually faded with the passage of time. However, whenever I look back on that glorious history, I can't help but be struck by the tremendous repercussions caused by their fanatical behavior!
Back then, Wang Xiaofei, Wang Yu, Wang Shuo and Wang Ke, the four young people, could be called the most eye-catching sons and brothers in the capital. Their words and deeds, gestures, and gestures have become the focus of attention in the city and even the whole country.
These four sons and brothers, with the abundant financial resources and power accumulated by their families for generations, squandered them to their heart's content, enjoyed a luxurious life, and became bright stars in the eyes of everyone.
The earliest thing that made the title of "Four Youths of Beijing" famous was the TV series of the same name broadcast in 1991. Although the image of the four young people in the play is not directly related to the four in real life, this work has aroused the public's strong curiosity about the lifestyle of Wang Xiaofei and others.
In the next few years, from 2005 to 2013, Wang Xiaofei, Wang Yu, Wang Shuo and Wang Ke had scandals with many popular actresses, which undoubtedly pushed them to the center of the storm of public opinion again.
Wang Xiaofei's scandal entanglement with Feng Jing, Zhang Yuqi, Da S and An Yixuan; Wang Yu's emotional entanglement with Zhang Min, Zhao Wei, Huang Yi, Chen Zihan, Jiang Xin and other actresses; Wang Shuo's obsessive pursuit of Zhou Xun and his series of crazy actions; finally, Wang Ke and Liu Tao's luxurious wedding shook the entire entertainment industry.
There is no doubt that it is precisely because of the close connection between the "Four Youths of Beijing" and the entertainment industry that their lifestyles and emotional entanglements are frequently exposed to the public and have become the focus of national attention.
As a commentator on current affairs, every time I think back to that past, I am deeply impressed by their enthusiasm.
Now, time flies, and those once sensational "Four Youths in Beijing" have long disappeared. But the current situation of the four people is very different, which is embarrassing.
On the surface, Wang Yu's current situation seems to be the most superior. This noble son from a wealthy family has always kept a low profile and rarely appears in public.
It is reported that Mr. Wang Yu now lives in the United States for more than half a year every year and enjoys a comfortable life. It is undeniable that Wang Yu's material life can be called the richest one among the "Four Youths in Beijing".
The second is the famous Mr. Wang Ke, although his former illustrious family environment has disappeared, he can still get the selfless support and assistance of his wife Liu Tao.
According to authoritative media, Mr. Wang Ke has a unique investment vision and has always managed a huge amount of property for Ms. Liu Tao, so that their family's economic situation can be maintained stably.
However, Mr. Wang Shuo, who was the most eye-catching at the time, has now suffered a major setback and blow in his life, and his current situation is simply very different from the other three, like a cloud and mud.
This wealthy boy from a noble background now only holds a junior high school diploma, and it is even difficult to find a decent job, and even more unfortunately, his biological father Wang Zhicai is burdened with a huge debt of up to 1.1 billion yuan, and the former luxury house has also been forced to be auctioned by the court.
It was only recently that her stepmother, Wang Yanfang, returned to acting, perhaps to help pay off her family's debts, or simply to earn the living expenses needed to raise her young son.
However, in any case, Mr. Wang Shuo's personal fate has obviously fallen to a low point, seeing that his peers have made achievements in their careers and families, while his future is uncertain and his life is in trouble.
When it comes to Mr. Wang Shuo's family background, it can definitely be called a "rich country". He was born into an extremely prominent and wealthy family, and the family's wealth can be described as piled up.
Mr. Wang Shuo's biological father, Wang Zhicai, was a well-known Australian Chinese businessman in China and throughout Asia. In the early days of reform and opening up, he relied on his business acumen and foresight to successfully operate the acclaimed high-end western restaurant "Golden Leopard" in the two bustling cities of Beijing and Shanghai.
As the Wang family's business continued to expand, the family's assets grew dramatically, reaching a staggering tens of billions of yuan at one point.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the capital at that time, the Wang family was undoubtedly a symbol of leading the trend and calling for wind and rain.
As the sole heir of the Wang family, Wang Shuo has rightfully become the most dazzling rich second-generation outstanding figure in the capital's social circles, and his lifestyle is extremely luxurious and extravagant, unabashedly showing off his wealth and power.
For example, when he enthusiastically pursued the movie star Zhou Xun, he even set off dazzling fireworks to celebrate, and spent a huge amount of money to buy the precious "Rosewood Palace" at an astonishing price of 3.88 million yuan at the auction site, and used it as a generous gift to Zhou Xun.
It is undeniable that it is with the family's strong financial resources and deep background that Wang Shuo was able to squander unscrupulously in the capital, frequently doing jaw-dropping crazy behaviors, such as fighting with Wang Ke in the streets.
However, this seemingly beautiful Gongzi brother has a fatal weakness - he only has a beginner level of Chinese. In contrast, Wang Yu was born in an ordinary but has a bachelor's degree from the Southern California Institute of the Arts, and Wang Xiaofei graduated from the prestigious French university Insec School of Commerce.
Even Wang Ke, who is from a relatively ordinary family, has a bachelor's degree.
For Wang Shuo, who came from a wealthy family, the only initial Chinese certificate was undoubtedly a huge obstacle in his path, making it difficult for him to achieve greater achievements in society commensurate with his family background.
This hard injury also indicates that his future development space will be far behind the other three members of the "Four Youths of Beijing".
Wang Shuo's life journey is like a thrilling roller coaster. After a brief period of crazy romance, his fortunes quickly slipped to the bottom and began a journey of continuous decline.
It all started in 2011. That year, Wang Shuo and Wang Ke, another member of the "Four Youths of Beijing", broke out in a violent physical altercation on the streets of Beijing. The two fought each other, fists and feet, and finally both were injured.
The turmoil attracted widespread attention at the time, with both sides holding their own opinions and blaming each other, and the situation even escalated to the point of life and death for a time.
Soon after, Wang Shuo was severely punished by the law on suspicion of serious personal injury.
As a wealthy man from a noble family, Wang Shuo obviously has not learned how to deal with complex social conflicts rationally and properly.
He relied on his well-known family background and wealth to be negligent, failing to realize that his actions had crossed the boundaries of the law.
In the end, the court decided to sentence the son-in-law Wang Shuo to three years of probation, and the words were sonorous and powerful. Undoubtedly, this sentence won him a temporary respite, but at the same time, it also deeply planted a hidden danger for this suave young man, like a lurking bomb, triggering a series of chain reactions.
As expected, during the probation period, Wang Shuo once again caused trouble, and there were endless incidents of hurting people, and this time he was finally sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and imprisoned.
During this period, the industry of his father Wang Zhicai's family began to decline, and its glory was no longer great.
The first thing to mention is Wang Yu, a rich son from a famous family who is undoubtedly the best of the four. Since he was a child, he was carefully nurtured and cared for by his father, Wang Daohan, who served as the mayor of Shanghai.
In order to prevent his son from becoming a "rich man of no more than three generations", Wang Daohan sent Wang Yu to the United States for higher education as early as possible.
Eventually, Wang Yu graduated from the University of Southern California with a major in art. This world-renowned top university, coupled with Wang Yu's choice of art major, was considered a relatively easy field to obtain a degree in at the time.
With his outstanding artistic talent, Wang Yu quickly rose to prominence in Shanghai after graduation and founded his own business empire.
Next is Wang Xiaofei, a native of Beijing, who is undoubtedly the most topical figure in the "Four Youths of Beijing". Although his family background is not as prominent as Wang Yu, the well-known catering brand "South Beauty" run by his mother is also famous.
What's more critical is that Wang Xiaofei studied at the famous Insec High School of Business in France, and her academic qualifications are the best among the four.
However, the most eye-catching thing about Wang Xiaofei may be his emotional entanglement with many well-known actresses. Such as Feng Jing, Zhang Yuqi, Da S and An Yixuan, etc., are all his rumored girlfriends.
It is especially worth mentioning his relationship with Da S, and the money dispute between the two is even more uproaring, which made Wang Xiaofei fall into the whirlpool of public opinion for a while and cannot extricate herself.
In the end, Wang Ke, who attracted much attention, had a father Wang Enlai who dared to break through the stereotypes, and was a group of outstanding private entrepreneurs at the beginning of reform and opening up.
Because of his background in a famous family, the outside world often mistakenly thinks that he is the son of Wang Shi, a wealthy businessman with a prominent reputation.
However, this is not the case, the Wang Ke family has strong family assets in the last century, and the lavish wedding banquet ceremony held by it shocked the entire entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, fate is impermanent, just after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, this former wealthy son suddenly encountered great changes, and instantly became a "negative tycoon" with a debt base, and a sky-high debt of more than one billion yuan made him fall into an endless abyss.
Fortunately, he received the unwavering support and assistance of his wife Liu Tao, and the husband and wife faced each other day and night, worked hard in the workplace, and successfully repaid all the debts after hardships.
As of today, Wang Ke has become a firm pillar behind Liu Tao, wholeheartedly managing huge assets for her, and can be called a heroic and unsung hero behind the scenes.
