1. A twisted and changeable life legend
Li Houlin, who came from an ordinary background, has had great ambitions since he was a child. Despite his humble background, he has a strong and unyielding character, always sticks to himself, and has never been defeated by difficult circumstances.
With his extraordinary intellect and diligent learning spirit, he gradually achieved brilliant achievements on the road of life.
At just 16 years old, his passion for the jewelry industry and his unique insight have enabled him to create his own kingdom of brilliant gemstones. In just a few years, he single-handedly expanded the scale of the enterprise rapidly, and won the reputation of "Diamond King Five".
On the business battlefield, Li Houlin has founded a world-renowned multinational company, covering jewelry, fashion, real estate and many other fields, which can be called a business leader.
It is these hard work and unremitting efforts day after day that have enabled him to gradually climb to the top of his life and become a model admired by everyone.
However, with the prosperity of his career, Li Houlin gradually indulged in the prosperity of Vanity Fair and became more and more obsessed with the pursuit of beauty. He is extremely picky about the choice of his partner, and almost all of his dating partners are hot female stars.
Li Houlin's pursuit of them can be described as crazy, trying to please them at all costs, trying to exchange money and material things for their favor. This move caused his image to decline rapidly in the eyes of the public, and he was labeled as a "prodigal son in love".
2. The bumpy journey of the emotional world
In the end, Li Houlin's emotional life is like a TV series with ups and downs, and his three wives left him one after another, leaving a deep wound in his heart.
After experiencing the breakdown of his family, Li Houlin resolutely threw himself into the embrace of the Buddhist faith and devoted himself to the practice of Buddhism. Despite his high blood pressure, he practiced asceticism in the mountains, seeking the truth devoutly, and traveled through the eight mountain ranges for eight years.
In order to record the various mental journeys he experienced in the process of seeking Buddhism and share his feelings with the majority of believers, he devoted himself to creating the work "Eight Years of Turning the Mountain", which fully demonstrated his firm belief and persistent pursuit of Buddhism.
Qin Hailu, a famous actor who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, has become the third most important ex-girlfriend in Li Houlin's life. She not only has a touching appearance, but also has outstanding talent, and she has made her mark in the entertainment industry early and attracted much attention.
Li Houlin once again exerted his determination to pursue his ex-girlfriend Zhou Yanhong, and used all means to launch a passionate and persistent pursuit, and finally won Qin Hailu's favor and love.
The relationship between them is hot and deep, and Li Houlin even specially prepared a huge diamond ring inlaid with 50 gorgeous diamonds for Qin Hailu, and solemnly proposed under the witness of many media, promising that these 50 diamonds symbolize their happy married life in the next 50 years.
Qin Hailu was moved to tears, almost unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, and nodded on the spot However, good times are always short-lived, Qin Hailu had just finished filming a movie, and when she walked out of the airport gate, she received Li Houlin's ruthless breakup text message, and she was immediately hit hard, falling into the abyss of endless pain, and unable to extricate herself.
The well-known and famous singer Zhou Yanhong is Li Houlin's second ex-girlfriend. With a number of popular classic songs, such as "Spring Blossoms", she has swept all over the country.
After Li Houlin learned that Zhou Yanhong was about to hold a concert in Tianjin, he did not hesitate to buy VIP tickets and went to the scene with enthusiasm, just to see her demeanor Zhou Yanhong's charming sweet face and elegant temperament made Li Houlin fall for it, he decided not to be afraid of hardships, and went thousands of miles to pursue her In order to be able to establish contact with Zhou Yanhong, he ran around, tried his best, and finally succeeded, he began a crazy pursuit and tried his best to please her.
Li Houlin's unrelenting willingness to buy designer bags, fashionable clothes and gorgeous diamond rings, coupled with his sweet words and caring consideration, made this beauty-loving woman quickly fall, follow him wholeheartedly, and fully support his career development.
However, just as Zhou Yanhong was waiting with anticipation to become Mrs. Li, only spending just 3 years of sweet time, Li Houlin suddenly disdained her efforts and resolutely proposed to break up, which made Zhou Yanhong stunned like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Li Houlin's first ex-wife is Li Xiang, a small flower girl who was once a smash hit. They really loved each other sincerely, and their feelings were as warm as fire, and Li Houlin took good care of her.
In order to express his deep affection for Li Xiang, he once proposed to her on a TV show to show his love, and admitted that his love for her was very deep.
Back then, whether it was from sincere emotional investment or endless thanks to Li Houlin, she did not hesitate to respond warmly with actions. What's even more touching is that for Li Houlin, she did not hesitate to abandon her busy career and was willing to become a full-time housewife, which is undoubtedly huge.
However, the good times did not last long, when Li Houlin's company faced a serious financial crisis in 2006 and the capital chain was broken, Li Xiang decisively announced the end of his marriage with him, and the two have been strangers ever since.
Since then, the former loving couple has become a-for-tat enemy, Li Houlin's temperament has changed greatly, and he wantonly abuses Li Xiang in public, with sharp words and no mercy.
3. Reflections on entering middle age
While gaining fame and fortune, Li Houlin often feels the emptiness in his heart, as if something important is missing in his life. With the passage of time, his mindset has changed dramatically, and the focus of his life has gradually shifted to public welfare.
He began to use his wealth and influence to help those in distress and in dire need. Li Houlin founded the "IDO" foundation, with the help of this public welfare platform, he donated a large number of materials to the poor areas of the society, and provided financial support for the treatment costs of children from poor families and serious diseases.
Whether it is in the face of natural disasters or man-made disasters, as long as someone sends a distress signal, the "IDO" foundation will always be the first to step forward.
Later, by chance, Li Houlin was fortunate to get acquainted with the living Buddha Ze Xiucang, a master with profound Buddhist attainments. Under the careful guidance and guidance of the Living Buddha of Zexiucang, Li Houlin finally let go of the distractions of the world, took refuge in Buddhism wholeheartedly, and embarked on a new path of cultivation.
"At that moment, I felt as if I had found a course in my life." Li Houlin was full of emotion, in the process of chasing fame and emotional desires, he gradually lost his self-understanding, was bound by the labels of the outside world, and seemed to have long forgotten the true face of his heart.
It wasn't until he met Buddhism and devoted himself to public welfare that he gradually found his own direction in life.
Since then, Li Houlin has gotten rid of the eyes and evaluations of the outside world and bravely returned to himself. He knows that he is no longer the character known as the "Diamond King" or "Prodigal Son of Love", but an ordinary Li Houlin.
He is firmly moving forward on the path of cultivation, always carrying that innocent original intention, even if he is far away from the distractions of the world, he is still willing to dedicate his strength to protect the world.
Looking back on his stories with many predecessors, it is not difficult to find that he met Zhou Yanhong, Qin Hailu and Li Xiang, but finally chose to move forward hand in hand, but because he coveted their beautiful appearance, he was driven by a short-term temptation and fell into a short-term "love at first sight".
He tries to win their favor with his wealth and luxurious material things, and longs to exchange it for their love.
However, such an emotional relationship based on money is destined to be unstable. When Li Houlin's career suffered a heavy blow, the company fell into financial difficulties, and the capital chain was broken, he instantly fell from the former "diamond prince" to the "bankruptcy prince".
This huge change led to his marriage with his first wife Li Xiang falling apart In 2006, when Li Houlin's company was about to collapse, Li Xiang did not hesitate to announce his divorce from him, and the contact between the two was completely severed. People can't help but question whether Li Xiang's motives for marrying Li Houlin were pure, and whether they were also confused by his aura of the diamond king, and built the marriage on the cornerstone of money.
Li Houlin's breakup with his ex-girlfriends Zhou Yanhong and Qin Hailu is also inextricably linked to money. Back then, in order to support Li Houlin's career, Zhou Yanhong went all out and had no reservations.
She not only volunteered to serve as a brand ambassador for him, but also introduced many high-quality customers to him, making his business territory grow day by dayHowever, just when Zhou Yanhong was looking forward to becoming Mrs. Li and spending the rest of his life with him, only three years later, Li Houlin turned a blind eye to her efforts and suddenly proposed to break up with her, which made Zhou Yanhong stunned and painful.
Although Qin Hailu did not fully devote herself to Li Houlin's career like Zhou Yanhong, she was also moved by Li Houlin's enthusiastic pursuit, and almost agreed to accept his sincere diamond ring proposal.
Fortunately, she sensed her emotions in time, listened to her friend's heartfelt advice, and resolutely made the decision to retreat after sobering up Facts have proved that after Qin Hailu returned to her hometown Beijing after finishing her busy work, she really received a breakup text message from Li Houlin, and the shock and pain in her heart were indescribable.
Li Houlin's three ex-wives left one after another, and his career naturally suffered a heavy blow. If he initially attracted them with the aura of the "Diamond King Old Five", then when this aura no longer shines, they will naturally lose interest in him, and it will become inevitable to leave him.
Fifth, the passive divorce made him disheartened
Among Li Houlin's three relationship experiences, the most heartbreaking one is probably the marriage with his first wife Li Xiang.
At the beginning, they really loved each other and their feelings were hot. Li Houlin cares about Li Xiang very much and loves him very much. In order to express his sincere feelings, Li Houlin once romantically proposed to Li Xiang on a TV show, confessed affectionately to the camera, and promised that his love for her was extremely firm.
At that time, Li Xiang, whether out of sincerity or gratitude, showed his tenderness wholeheartedly. For the sake of this marriage, she even gave up her career and was willing to be a full-time housewife.
It can be seen how persistent she was in this marriage back then.
However, good times are always short-lived. In 2006, Li Houlin's company suffered a financial crisis and the capital chain was broken. Just when he was at a low point in his career, Li Xiang chose to divorce him without hesitation, and the two have been strangers ever since.
This decision undoubtedly brought deeper despair to the already exhausted Li Houlin. He couldn't have imagined that Li Xiang, who was once gentle and kind, would abandon him so resolutely at a critical moment.
In the face of Li Xiang's calm response to "break up peacefully", Li Houlin seemed to be a different person, and began to insult Li Xiang unscrupulously in public, with vicious words and no reservations.
Nowadays, although the real inside story of the divorce of the two protagonists is still confusing, many people insist that there is some deep-seated interest game hidden in it, which has to be sighed! When the shackles of money gradually collapsed, the cornerstone of marriage was shaken, and finally ended up with Lao Yan parting ways, which undoubtedly seemed logical.
As an innocent victim in marriage, Li Houlin's heart is undoubtedly traumatized. This unforgettable experience may be the root cause of his gradual understanding of life and his final choice to escape into the empty door.
Because in this world full of uncertainties, he has completely lost his longing and expectation for love, and can no longer find the true meaning and value of life.
