The summer of 2024 is very hot, and the Paris Olympics will become a global event.
It also made many "celebrities" who appeared at the competition site become hot spots again.
For example, Guo Jingjing, the referee of the diving event, and her family member Huo Qigang, as well as the entire Huo family behind them.
The patriarch of the family, Huo Yingdong, the deceased old man Huo, has been romantic and talented all his life, and three ladies have achieved three love stories.
Compared with the other two ladies, his third wife, Lin Shuduan, is particularly different.
What is the past of Lin Shuduan and Fok Yingdong? What makes her different?
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, a young and beautiful girl began to appear frequently around Hong Kong tycoon Fok Yingdong.
She is not very glamorous, but she is rare to be very attractive, and she is very low-key in the spotlight.
often walks beside Huo Yingdong with low eyebrows, silently, not fighting or grabbing.
At that time, the privacy gossip of celebrities was not as fast as it is today, but a social celebrity of Huo Yingdong's level was destined not to be let go by public opinion.
So soon, the identity of the girl next to him was dug up.
This person's name is Lin Shuduan, born in a family with a strong cultural atmosphere, and he was officially together around 1968.
Regarding Lin Shuduan's original family, the public media does not know much news.
Even after becoming Huo Yingdong's third wife and having to face some scrutiny eyes, Lin Shuduan also took good care of her privacy.
The age difference between her and Huo Yingdong is 23 years, which can already be called the age difference between father and daughter.
However, in that era, among celebrities in Hong Kong's upper circle, it was not surprising that old husbands and young wives were common.
The reason why Huo Yingdong brought Lin Shuduan home was not all as the outside world speculated.
fell in love with Lin Shuduan's young and beautiful, gentle and caring, so he was reluctant to let go.
In fact, although there is an age difference between the two people, there is no generation gap.
They get along with each other and are often able to feel a kind of soul resonance.
Lin Shuduan is young, but her thinking is very mature, she has a beautiful face, but she never flaunts because of her beauty, but pays more attention to connotation and cultivation.
She has a very unique perspective on the problem, she can talk about life philosophy with Fok Yingdong, and she can also help analyze Fok Yingdong's industry.
In short, the feelings she can bring to Huo Yingdong can't be given by others.
encountered such a rare confidant, it is conceivable that Huo Yingdong will never let go.
Fok Yingdong, who already has two wives and many children, has a very complicated family environment.
If you want to be with him, you must have enough wisdom to ensure that you can cope with those complicated people and things.
At this point, Lin Shuduan had already been mentally prepared.
She knows that she is not the original wife, and her status is definitely different from that of Lu Yanni, the eldest wife, so she usually never fights.
Fok Yingdong attended the event, unless he encountered a needy situation, he took the initiative to invite her.
She basically did not ask to accompany Huo Yingdong to attend, but left the opportunity to stand side by side with her husband to Lu Yanni.
Whether in the eyes of Huo Yingdong or other family members, she is a sensible person.
As for how much sadness she needs to endure behind this sensible, only she knows.
After marrying into the Huo family, Lin Shuduan soon gave birth to her first son.
Among the wealthy families, there will inevitably be competition among the younger generation, competing for the attention of their fathers, competing for the resources of the family, and competing for future interests.
Obviously, Lin Shuduan, who gave birth to a son, will definitely become the focus of the family.
At this time, her wisdom was once again manifested.
As before, Lin Shuduan still maintains a low-key style, and there is no so-called "mother is expensive by child" idea at all.
The focus of her life shifted more to her son, and of course she was not very involved in public affairs other than taking care of them.
Before and after, Lin Shuduan gave birth to a total of 4 children for Huo Yingdong.
And in the lives of these four children, the mother had a great influence on their education.
They invariably remember many moments of conversation with their mother, and the kind-faced woman would tell them.
All of Dad's achievements are the result of Dad's hard work, and they have nothing to do with them.
Dad can provide some resources for them as they grow up, but it doesn't determine the direction of their lives.
They can't lie at home and sit on the empty mountain, let alone rely on the aura of their fathers to show off their might.
What kind of life they want to live and what kind of person they want to become, they need to work hard to achieve it.
A mother who can "carry it clearly" has taught four children who can "carry it clearly", thus avoiding many family conflicts.
After Huo Yingdong's death, Lin Shuduan's character became even more valuable.
Even if the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Huo family is not bad, in the face of interests, no matter how good the relationship is, there is a possibility of collapse.
A sibling mother can still make trouble because of the inheritance, not to mention several children born to different mothers.
At that time, the Hong Kong media were waiting to see the excitement and report the big news of the Huo family, and it was best to use all kinds of exaggerated strokes to describe the grievances of the wealthy families and earn traffic.
Lin Shuduan and the performance of the girl of the third house were completely beyond their expectations.
Lin Shuduan, who appeared in public, had an unconcealed sad look on her face, and she grieved for her husband's death from the bottom of her heart.
When asked about the division of the estate, she would not answer directly and did not show any ambition.
According to reports at the time, Lin Shuduan not only did not fight for the inheritance, but also did not let his children and siblings make trouble together.
They were more like they were going along with it, and they didn't make the slightest sound.
Of course, resignation is necessarily an exaggeration.
Lin Shuduan is a smart person, and there is no reason for him to be wronged.
It's just that sometimes, it's not necessarily a good idea to retreat.
After all, it is rumored that Huo Yingdong attaches more importance to the big house, and once made it clear before his death that most of his property will be left to the children of the big house.
The economic lifeline of the entire Huo family will be controlled by the children of the big house.
Huo Qigang's father, Huo Zhenting, is the son of Huo Yingdong's original wife Lu Yanni, looking at their development, you know that this rumor may not be groundless.
As for the children in the second and third wives' families, Huo Yingdong just gave them financial security to ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing, and could do what they wanted, nothing more.
If this is really the case, then Lin Shuduan's approach is undoubtedly more intelligent.
If you know that you can't fight for it, then simply don't fight for it, and you can live a peaceful life.
Fok Yingdong and his second wife, Feng Jianni
A woman's great wisdom is vividly reflected at this time.
No matter what kind of contradictions there were in the next generation of the Huo family later, Lin Shuduan's name did not appear in the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
As she had planned, her life was actually much more peaceful.
Because of this, the next generation of the Huo family respects her very much.
When the family attends necessary public events together, they will also sincerely show respect for Lin Shuduan.
It can be said that Lin Shuduan exchanged low-key and gentleness for the life she wanted.
No one has ever prescribed how a person's life should be spent.
Whether it is a wealthy family or an ordinary person, everyone is the same, and they all have the right to choose.
The sharpness is exposed, or the edge is converged, it is just a different choice.
But it cannot be denied that Lin Shuduan's concessions on many issues have indeed contributed to the stability of the Huo family.
The Huo family did not have a scandal or moral flaws like other families in Hong Kong and Macau, which has something to do with her.
In 2011, Lin Shuduan, who had been chic all her life, passed away.
Huo Zhenting and other children born to the original wife basically came to the scene to see her off for the last time.
This woman, who has been gentle all her life, finally said goodbye to everyone in a gentle way, and then completely fell silent.
Lin Shuduan's story may not be a legend among Mrs. Hong Kong and Macau.
But apart from those things that are full of wind and snow or exaggerated dog blood, she is indeed a clear stream and unique.
