preface:
I paid attention to the case of my adopted son Zhou Wei and Huang Zongying, first of all because of my love for Huang Zongying's teacher.
Although there is a verdict in this case, there are still many opinions.
Some people have doubts about Huang Zongying's character, and some people reprimand Zhou Wei for not understanding gratitude.
This article has no intention of taking sides, let alone drawing any conclusions.
It is just a matter of combing through the collected statements from all sides. I hope that readers will see with their own eyes, think with their own brains, and draw their own conclusions.
Perhaps, there is not only one conclusion.
Or perhaps, there is no conclusive conclusion at all.
The deep ground of human nature and history is by no means as simple as black and white.
In October 1986, 51-year-old Huang Zongying received a copy of the indictment from the Shanghai Intermediate People's Court.
She never imagined that she had been involved in Zhou Xuan's estate dispute as a defendant.
The person who sued her was her adopted son, Zhou Wei, who was 34 years old at the time.
Four years later, on August 30, 1990, the High Court rendered a judgment that Huang Zongying would return Zhou Wei's money and compensation interest totaling RMB72,000.
Zhou Xuan's legacy case finally came to an end.
And the disturbances surrounding it are still confusing.
After all, a single verdict does not cover all the truth.
We have no intention of judging who is right and who is wrong, but we just show the statements of the parties involved, and the truth is up to you to ponder.
Among them, huang Zongying and his adopted son Zhou Min (Zhou Xuan's eldest son) are from the book "Zhou Xuan's Diary" published in 2003.
Zhou Wei's (Zhou Xuan's second son) remarks are from the book "Biography of Zhou Xuan" published in 2006. This is a reprint of his book My Mother Zhou Xuan, published in the mid-1980s and late 1990s.
Zhao Qing (daughter of Zhao Dan and his ex-wife Ye Lucy) is from the book "My Father and My Father Zhao Dan".
Zhao Jin (son of Zhao Dan and Huang Zongying) commented from his posthumous Weibo.
Others come from the network.
It is worth noting that the views of the eldest son Zhou Min, who were also the sons of Zhou Xuan, and zhou Wei, the second son, were very different.
One. The mystery of the adoption of Zhou Min
How did Huang Zongying adopt Zhou Min? It should also start with Zhou Xuan's illness and hospitalization.
In 2003, in the book "Zhou Xuan's Diary", in the face of the author of the book, the 78-year-old Huang Zongying described it this way:
Reporter: How did Zhou Xuan get into the hospital at that time, can you talk about the situation at that time?
Huang Zongying: Around 1951, Zhou Xuan was in the home of the pillow stream apartment, having a psychotic attack, burning things in the room, and trying to throw the child out of the window.
The cadres of the pillow stream apartment neighborhood committee called, hoping to quickly go to people to deal with it, otherwise they would be killed.
Under these circumstances, I rushed to Zhou Xuan's residence with Huang Chen (Mrs. Zheng Junli) and Wu Yin and others to quickly appease Zhou Xuan, who was mentally disturbed and restless.
Zhou Min was only ten months old at the time, and he was sent to a nursery.
Zhang Lide and Lao Ling of the Drama and Film Association also arrived, as well as the cadres of the neighborhood committee present, and in the face of this unexpected situation, everyone felt that they must deal with it immediately.
Zhou Xuan's adoptive mother said on the side, she knocked me with a basin, I was scared, scared... I comforted her and said, don't be afraid, we will take care of it.
We immediately summoned Liu Qiong and Han Fei and asked them both to coax Zhou Xuan out, saying that taking her out to relax was actually sending her to a psychiatric hospital.
Later, the nursery was closed, what should Zhou Min do? Everyone thinks that Wu Yin is older and has some experience. Just bring Zhou Min back." Wu Yin agreed.
However, Wu Yin's mother-in-law did not want this child, so she sent Zhou Min to our house.
At this time, Zhao Dan's father said: This is the meaning of God, God sent him, let's take him.
At that time, Zhou Min was more than one year old, and Zhao Dan especially liked to tease him.
In 1951, Zhou Min was one year old
About how Zhou Min got to Zhao Dan's house? Zhao Qing wrote:
One day after the beginning of spring, I came home from school and saw Huang Grandma and nanny Xuezhen Niangniang teasing a little doll who had just learned to walk.
"Where did this doll come from?"
Huang Apo said: This is the first child born to Zhou Xuan when he returned from Hong Kong last year! His nickname is Min Min. Born to say there is no father, blame the poor.
Xuezhen Niangniang quietly told me: Min Min is fostered in the drama nursery. Your Zongying mother wants to hold Min Min, but it has not yet been decided. She was sick and unable to have children, so she wanted to have a son.
My dad came back from work and said, "We only have three rooms in the house, so how can we possibly have another doll at home?" Originally, Mrs. Wu Yin had already expressed her willingness to raise Min Min, she was familiar with Zhou Xuan and had rich experience.
Besides, Aunt Poplar's family conditions are much stronger than ours. But Zongying's mother is vying for Min Min...
After two years, Zong Ying's mother's women's illness was finally cured, and she gave birth to three children. The eldest daughter is called Zhao Tangerine, the second son is called Zhao Zuo, and the third son is Zhao Jin.
In 1954, Zhou Min was 4 years old and Zhao Tangerine was 1 year old
The adopted son Zhou Min wrote a small thing in the article:
When I was a child, I was deeply impressed by one thing: that day in the living room, a large group of people were chatting, I was walking around, the guest suddenly stopped talking, Huang Zongying asked me: "Minmin, who gave birth to you?" ”
I pointed at her and said, "You gave birth to me." ”
The whole house laughed.
This at least shows that Zhou Min is happy in Huang Zongying's family and has a close relationship with his adoptive mother.
In 1951, Zhou Xuan and his son Zhou Min
Huang Zongying recalled that at that time, he would take Zhou Min to visit Zhou Xuan.
At that time, the director of the Shanghai Hongqiao Psychiatric Hospital was named Su Zonghua, a great expert, and under his rule, Zhou Xuan's illness was still good and bad.
By 1956, Zhou Xuan's illness had improved, and President Su Zonghua and the leaders of the Drama and Film Association asked us to cooperate with the treatment, let us take the people to visit his biological mother, and take Zhou Xuan out to play.
Zhou Min's memories are as follows:
In my childhood memories, I have only seen my mother Zhou Xuan three times.
Once, during her recovery from illness, she visited Zhao Dan and Huang Zongying's home, and on that day, a large group of people came to the room, including photographers, recordings, and lights, who were busy.
Maybe someone in the aisle asked me to call her mom, how did I get it? Won't bark. Someone next to me asked me to call her aunt again, and I called out to me like this.
Later, the adult told me that she (Zhou Xuan) was not happy that time.
The second time was to take me to the Hongqiao Sanatorium. At that time, the film bureau sent their only small car with a hammered wood to pick them up.
In the nursing home room, she insisted on pulling me aside. Holding my hand tightly, he spoke to the others.
My hand was squeezed too tightly to make me feel awkward and uncomfortable.
The last time was at the Funeral Home of Nations, the ultimate sight.
1957 Third Issue of Shangying Pictorial
In Huang Zongying's memory, Zhao Dan especially liked Zhou Min.
The people grew up to be big, and when they were young, the ready-made clothes they bought outside could not be put in, so they had to ask the tailor to come to the house to make them for him. Zhao Dan and I, as well as my brother and sister, called him Big Head.
Since he was a child, Zhao Dan especially liked the people, often carried him on his shoulders, took him to eat Western food, took him to the cultural club to play, and when eating at home, Zhao Dan always said: "Come, big head, sit next to me." ”
Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan's "Road Angel"
Zhao Qing had personally heard his father talk about his appreciation for Zhou Min:
Min Min (Zhou Min) has always been loyal to my father.
He tore off the "Down with Zhao Dan" slogan that the Red Guards had posted on the wall in his home. In the midst of the knocking down, he said: Zhao Dan's father is a good person.
For this reason, my father loved him very much, and I thanked him from the bottom of my heart.
Huang Zongying and Zhou Min in 1974
For Zhou Min's benevolence, Huang Zongying was deeply touched:
The adopted son Zhou Min did not trust me and my younger siblings, and often sneaked home from the countryside of Jiangxi. I begged him: "Minmin, you and Zhao Dan have nothing to do with me, you are an orphan, you and we should draw a clear line, so as not to be beaten and angry." ”
This child, the Young Red Guard general came to the door to denounce Zhao Dan as a counter-revolutionary, and Zhou Minfei insisted that Zhao Dan was revolutionary. He, this is not looking for a beating!
The people, this little man, tells the truth and never tells lies.
Only Zhou Min appears on the farewell photos
Another adopted son, Zhou Wei, recalls this:
When the Cultural Revolution began, I remained silent.
Although I have no feelings for this family, I am by no means like some of my own children: they slap their father and paste their father's big poster to show rebellion.
I didn't say anything about everything in the house, just watched silently.
In 1966, Zhou Wei took a photo at the age of 13
I had nothing to linger on, and in March 1969 I left Shanghai to join the team in Feng Town, Inner Mongolia.
No one has ever asked me again since, as if I had disappeared.
The team I inserted was very poor, and a worker was only three cents a few cents. I did not dare to take a day off casually, and I had no money to go back to Shanghai, so I squeezed out more than twenty yuan until the second year, bought a ticket back to Shanghai to visit my relatives, after all, it was a home, and I brought a lot of native products when I went back.
Or the organization took care of me, more than two years after the insertion of the team, I was selected to be transferred to the Fourth Research Institute of the Ministry of Aerospace as a worker, with a little salary, I held the "grace of dripping water, should be repaid by the spring" code of conduct, and began to send things to this home.
Thinking that there was no fire in Shanghai in winter, I sent leather mattresses, leather vests... I did my best to do my duty, but I still lived in hardship.
Zhou Min and Zhou Wei brothers, one is close to his adoptive mother, the other is estranged.
The positions between the two also seem to be very different.
In the article, the elder brother Zhou Min very clearly stated the purpose of publishing Zhou Xuan's Diary:
The one who was crying and laughing spread the mystery of Zhou Xuan's property there through the book on the Internet, and then the mystery of death, boiling and talking nonsense.
Who is that person referring to?
Probably another son of Zhou Xuan, Zhou Min's younger brother Zhou Wei.
Two. The mystery of Zhou Wei's life
Who is Zhou Wei? He was the second son of Zhou Xuan.
Born as Tang Qiwei, he was the son of Tang Di and Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Wei's childhood was not happy.
In the article, he wrote:
Zhou Xuan's mother gave birth to me. At that time, I lived with my mother, father, and grandmother in the Pillow Stream Apartment.
Later, my mother was admitted to the hospital, and my father was detained again.
The only thing left in the pillow stream apartment was me and my grandmother.
In 1953, my father came back and took me to live in the dormitory of the school where he worked.
At first, we often went to the hospital to visit my mother, but then someone informed me that the hospital would not allow me to see my mother again.
After that, we always secretly visited my mother, and every time I left, my mother always hugged me and cried bitterly.
In 1957, my mother died, and I was not allowed to attend the memorial service.
Zhou Wei at the age of 2
Regarding the adoption of Zhou Wei, Zhao Dan's daughter Zhao Qing has only a few words in the book:
In 1960, Zong Ying's mother adopted Zhou Xuan's second "out of wedlock" Zhou Wei.
Zong Ying's mother is very good and capable, and for her own career, she runs all over the country. She herself said: Most of the year is not at home, and she can't take care of her children at all, nor can she take care of my father's life.
The housework is all entrusted to the nanny Xuezhen Niangniang.
But who would have thought that many years later, Zhou Wei, who had been raised for many years, sued Zong Ying's mother and fought a sensational lawsuit: Zhou Xuan's inheritance case.
I have to be deeply sorry.
In a conversation with reporters, Huang Zongying was obviously reluctant to mention the name of his adopted son Zhou Wei, but only Mentioned Zhou Min:
Zhao Dan especially believed in the people. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Dan paid a supplementary salary, about 20,000 yuan. Zhao Dan said that this is hard-earned money!
The studio called to ask the family to withdraw the money. Let the people go. After taking the money, the people deposited it directly in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Jing'an Temple.
At that time, every child and relative had a thousand dollars deposited in their accounts.
Later, moving to Xinkang Garden, it was also done by the people to run to the Film Bureau.
In 1980, at Zhao Dan's memorial service, it was also the people who held the urn.
The so-called inheritance lawsuit, the money, in the end, was also handled by the people in the provinces. I don't want it, I don't want a penny.
I give much more to the people than I do to that man.
Man is to have a conscience.
In the 1980s, Zhou Min and his wife took a group photo with Huang Zongying
Huang Zongying vaguely mentioned his views on Zhou Wei:
The people see people as accurate.
I didn't listen to him, I didn't listen to him, I didn't listen to the people's opinions, I didn't listen to the opinions of the people.
Of course, we prefer and love the people more, but it is always an intellectual family, always compassionate, who knows what will happen.
