On a quiet morning in 1997, Tang Yongxiang, a famous Hong Kong comedy artist and celebrity, was lying on the bed, his face as white as paper and his breathing as weak as silk. Although he has entered his old age, his weather-beaten eyes are still shining and full of perseverance.
Deng Yongxiang's trembling hands clasped the palms of his son Deng Zhaozun, and instructed in a weak but firm voice: "Child, please listen to your father's last teachings. ”
Deng Zhaozun stared at his loving father's wrinkled face, tears quietly sliding down. Deng Yongxiang continued: "I have worked hard all my life to accumulate a lot of wealth and a prominent position, but I have also paid a heavy price for it.
"I don't expect you to follow in my footsteps, but in the future, you must firmly choose the path of the 'loser', squander everything you have, and live an unfettered life.
Tang Siu-chung found it unbelievable that his father, a well-known wealthy man in Hong Kong, pleaded with him on his deathbed to become a "loser" and squander his inheritance of up to HK$420 million.
Deng Yongxiang's eyes are so determined, it seems that there is a deeper meaning in them.
Deng Yongxiang seemed to have insight into his son's doubts, and he continued: "Life should not be bound by money, and live a life controlled by wealth. You need to learn to take control of your own destiny, enjoy the moment to the fullest, and feel every good thing in life.
"Only in this way will you be able to avoid repeating my mistakes and regretting them in the last moments of your life. ”
Listening to his father's earnest teachings, Deng Zhaozun's heart was deeply shocked. Indeed, it is a pity that the father went through hardships in his life, but in the end he was betrayed by his wife and his property was calculated.
Perhaps, his father's entrustment is to hope that he can get rid of the hardships of the past and experience the beauty of life to the fullest.
Deng Zhaozun remembered his father's deathbed admonition, and did not hesitate to live a luxurious and indulgent life of a "loser". He bought a luxury villa worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and a super large bed with a length of 100 meters in the bedroom shows his wealth status.
In addition, Deng Zhaozun also lives in this mansion with three beautiful women. They are all well-known dancers and models in Hong Kong, each of them is beautiful and tall, like a fairy in a cloud of flowers.
In order to express his deep love for his three beloved girlfriends, he spared no financial resources and generously provided each of them with a living allowance of up to 500,000 yuan every month, so that they could enjoy a luxurious life to the fullest.
Such a way of life is undoubtedly absurd and overly indulgent, just like the abyss behind the prosperity, full of endless desires and sinking.
According to the seven-day weekly arrangement, Deng Zhaozun will spend two days alone with each girlfriend, and the remaining three days are his personal free time. Just imagine, in such a unique cohabitation model of "monogamy and three wives", what a glamorous and moving scene will be staged?
Deng Zhaozun's extravagant lifestyle is not only reflected in the squandering of money, but also in his pursuit of the ultimate quality of life. He owns one of the world's top and rarest luxury car collections, including a Rolls-Royce antique sports car worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
Whenever he's in a good mood, he drives this cool luxury car and runs wild on the road, as if the whole road is his private racetrack.
Sometimes, he charters private yachts and planes, takes his three girlfriends on the sea, and frolicks on private islands around the world. At this time, Deng Zhaozun would not hesitate to wave the check in his hand and boldly buy those small islands that he had loved for a long time, showing his willful and risky side.
, Deng Zhaozun's extravagant and profligate lifestyle today is what his father Deng Yongxiang longed for the most when he was young, but he had no chance to experience it. Looking back at the beginning of the last century, Deng Yongxiang was born in a well-off family in Shunde, Guangdong.
His father, Deng Qi, was an avid fan of Cantonese opera, and under his father's tutelage, Tang developed a strong interest in the art from an early age.
However, happy times are always short-lived. As time passed, Deng Yongxiang's family gradually declined. It turned out that his father Deng Qi was addicted to alcohol and gambling and couldn't extricate himself, and the originally harmonious and happy family was broken up.
When Tang was eight years old, his parents divorced, and he had to follow his mother out of his hometown and go to Hong Kong to make a living.
In Hong Kong, life for the Tang family is very difficult. His mother worked as a maid in a wealthy family, and the heavy pressure of her work prevented her from taking care of the young Deng Yongxiang wholeheartedly.
Deng Yongxiang had to live in other people's mansions, living a life of snorting, hunger and cold, and even suffered ruthless abuse from his hostess for a long time. So, when he was only 14 years old, he resolutely chose to leave his homeland and embark on a wandering journey into the unknown.
So, Deng Yongxiang at that time, young and ignorant, began to find his own way of survival in this world. As penniless, he had to join a small troupe, study diligently and live a simple and tenacious life under the careful teaching of his master.
However, it was during these difficult years that he gradually discovered his innate talent and fell deeply in love with the ancient and profound art of Cantonese opera.
Since then, Deng Yongxiang's acting career has unfolded like a brocade of flowers, he has risen to difficulties, constantly challenged himself, and his career has flourished, and finally became a household name superstar.
In the 50s of the last century, Tang Yongxiang bravely stepped into the field of comedians, expanding his stage from Cantonese opera to film and television, and his superb acting skills, witty and humorous performance style and unique comedic image instantly sparked a "Tang Yongxiang craze" in Hong Kong.
Whether in the drama, film and television industry, or among the general public, Deng Yongxiang's name can be said to be known to everyone, and he has become a veritable superstar. At the peak of his career, Tang became a household name not only in Hong Kong, but also throughout the Chinese-speaking region.
In 1960, he founded Yongxiang Records, and in addition to his own Cantonese opera, he also recorded many Peking Opera recordings, and his career spanned both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong and Macao.
At the same time, Deng Yongxiang is also actively involved in diversified fields such as real estate development. He has purchased a large amount of land, built many skyscrapers, and opened a number of well-known restaurant chains.
In addition, he held a 1% stake in Macau's casino business, and there is no doubt that Tang was undoubtedly one of Hong Kong's most prominent business investment tycoons in his time.
After more than ten years of unremitting struggle and struggle, Tang Yongxiang finally succeeded in becoming one of Hong Kong's leading giants, with a personal wealth of 420 million Hong Kong dollars. For a young man from a poor background, this is undoubtedly the pinnacle of life!
However, the world often only sees his glory and glory today, but never imagines what storms and tribulations he has gone through in his life journey. For Deng Yongxiang himself, the price paid behind such a rich wealth was too heavy! Even so, even later, he still often sighed to his relatives and friends that it would be wonderful if he could have lived a carefree life like his son Deng Zhaozun from the beginning!
When it comes to Deng Yongxiang's married life, it is undoubtedly a journey full of twists and turns and legends. Although he has achieved great achievements in his career and is powerful, in the emotional world, he has experienced countless pains of loss and betrayal.
We don't have much information about Deng Yongxiang's first wife, but his marriage with his second wife, Liang Tiantian, is a model of happiness and old age.
However, good times are always short-lived, and Liang Tiantian's unfortunate untimely death brought endless grief to Tang Yongxiang.
The next third wife, due to their incompatible personalities and conflicting concepts, finally broke up and drifted apart. As for Deng Yongxiang's last wife, Hong Jinmei, his married life was completely in trouble.
It turned out that Hong Jinmei was born in poverty and was a dancer in a high-end nightclub in Hong Kong, making a living by selling her hue. Although she was a full 29 years younger than Deng Yongxiang, her beauty and graceful demeanor quickly attracted the successful businessman who had worked hard for many years.
In 1965, Deng Yongxiang, who was 49 years old at the time, and Hong Jinmei, who was only 20 years old, fell in love at first sight, and the two fell in love. Although Deng Yongxiang and his third wife had not officially divorced at that time, this could not stop their deep love for each other, so the two quickly began to live together.
Perhaps in Deng Yongxiang's eyes, he and Hong Jinmei are truly in love and have the same heart. However, in Hong Jinmei's heart, her throwing herself into the arms of this elderly and billionaire is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to get rid of poverty and change her fate.
As expected, soon after marriage, Hong Jinmei revealed her true face and hidden ambitions. The elderly Deng Yongxiang was soon diagnosed with an illness and his physical condition deteriorated.
At this time, Hong Jinmei secretly mobilized his subordinates and launched a crazy property transfer operation.
As an old fritter who has experienced the ups and downs of the business world, how could Deng Yongxiang be kept in the dark? He immediately discovered his wife's behavior and could not bear to question Hong Jinmei's motives and purposes.
Unexpectedly, Hong Jinmei responded to Deng Yongxiang's questioning with confidence: "Anyway, you won't live long, and your money will be mine sooner or later."
This arrogant and ill-intentioned sentence hit Deng Yongxiang's heart like a heavy hammer. He never imagined that his beautiful young wife would be so inhumane to him, so mercenary, and unconscionable.
Seeing that the situation was serious, Deng Yongxiang no longer concealed it, and he made Hong Jinmei's despicable acts public, which plunged the entire Deng family into chaos. Seeing this, Hong Jinmei gradually took off her disguise, and she began to hype up all kinds of scandals about Deng Yongxiang and his family, which can be described as a mess.
Faced with such a situation, Deng Yongxiang, who was suffering from illness but suffered such a heavy blow, was extremely angry in his heart, he felt like lying on the hospital bed and being stabbed with a knife, and he was tortured mentally and physically.
In the end, in disappointment and helplessness, Deng Yongxiang made up his mind to leave all his life's wealth to his children, and specially noted in his will: If Hong Jinmei dares to entangle, the remaining one yuan will also belong to her.
In this way, the former lovers went from being the most intimate to the end of a strange life. This undoubtedly left an indelible shadow and shame on Deng Yongxiang, who was about to pass away.
