On May 7, 1959, a baby girl fell to the ground in Hong Kong, and her mother, Cheung Ming-yee, named her Weng Meiling.
24 years later, this girl became popular all over the taiwan strait and became synonymous with "Huang Rong"; 26 years later, when she was in the right moment, the girl personally ended her life, leaving people with a sigh and a trail legend that could not distinguish between true and false.
But in 1959, Zhang Mingyi did not know that this child would have a short but legendary life, she only knew that the child's life would not be so smooth, because she was born with the identity of an illegitimate daughter.
Weng Meiling's father was a naval officer, well-off, and had a family. To put it bluntly, Zhang Mingyi is just a mistress of Weng Meiling's father.
But fortunately, Weng Meiling was smart and cute from childhood, and Her father loved her very much. She and her mother lived in a hilltop villa with servants to live in.
Although she grew up in the shadow of an illegitimate daughter, Weng Meiling was generally happy before she was 7 years old. But this peaceful life ended when she was 7 years old, with the sudden death of her father.
The mother and daughter, who had no name, naturally could not share in their father's property, and they were driven out of the villa.
No money, no possessions, no one to rely on.
In desperation, Zhang Mingyi took her daughter to the name of her brother-in-law Chen Jing.
Chen Jing likes Weng Meiling very much and regards her as her own, and in the face of this uncle who is not related by blood, Weng Meiling has a girlish feeling in her heart, and she will deliberately show her closeness to him in front of her uncle's girlfriend.
Compared with her peers, she is more mature and more pessimistic.
At the age of 10, she often said: This is a society where people eat people.
At the age of twelve or thirteen, she is well versed in the world, and she treats things like an adult and is as strong as an adult.

She and her husband discussed going to the UK to make a living, but because of the visa problem, Weng Meiling was temporarily unable to go to the UK. She had to stay in Hong Kong on her own and take care of herself.
During this time, she ushered in her first love, a boy from the same school. But this first love did not last long, and the two separated.
In 1974, Weng Meiling finally got a visa and went to The United Kingdom to join her mother.
In the UK, a takeaway shop continued to be opened, and Weng Meiling helped here in her spare time.
In the new school, she was the only Chinese, and she had few friends. She stubbornly wants to get ahead: either don't learn, or learn the best.
Since then, she has been admitted to the University of Cambridge textile design with excellent results, and her design works have also been favored by the top clothing companies in the United Kingdom, and if there is no accident, she will become an excellent designer.
But her extreme side also began to show gradually.

After Weng Meiling committed suicide, a Dutch boy named Rob came forward and said that he was not at all surprised by Weng Meiling's suicide, and that she had tried suicide many times.
Rob is Weng Meiling's boyfriend when she was studying in the UK, and the two are very in love, but Weng Meiling's mother does not agree with them together. In her perception, the daughter should look for a rich Chinese child, not a foreigner.
In order to break up the two, she locked Weng Meiling in the room, and Weng Meiling resisted by committing suicide. After being locked up for 5 days, she swallowed a large number of sleeping pills.
This was the first time she had swallowed medicine to commit suicide, and since then, like a Pandora's box that had been opened, Weng Meiling had begun to test her way to suicide.
This struggle ended with the compromise of Weng Mu.
A few years later, the two went to different universities to study, and the uncertainty of long-distance love and the bitterness of unfamiliar life in college made Weng Meiling very depressed.
At this time, the solution she gave was to pick up the pill bottle again, and she swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills.
But soon, she regretted it, and she slammed the wall, and the female nurse who lived next door saved her.
Her repeated suicides shock Rob, who blames Weng Meiling for not being so selfish, and Weng Meiling promises him that he will not do stupid things again.
But the relationship between the two still came to an end.
