In 1991, a scream of pain came from a women's prison.
A middle-aged woman held her head and cried, and her mouth kept muttering:
"Impossible, impossible, my daughter will not kill herself..."
This soulless woman is Wu Shengming, a former multi-millionaire.
Wu Shengming was told of his daughter's death in prison.
The sudden blow made her lose her mind.
In fact, a few years ago, Wu Shengming was still a rich woman who was in the limelight.
But now he is a prisoner of the order.
Why did she get to this point? Where will she go in the future?
1 Escaped Girl, First Love
In 1933, a girl named Wu Enna was born in Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province.
However, the world is not familiar with her name, most people only know her name is Wu Shengming.
Wu Shengming has three brothers and sisters in the family, and she is the eldest daughter in the family.
The Wu family is well-off and is one of the best merchants in the local area.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Shengming's childhood,
It should have been smooth sailing because of excellent economic conditions, but this is not the case.
Wu Shengming's father often relied on his wealth to cause debts everywhere.
This made her mother miserable and often quarreled with her father.
Finally, when Wu Shengming was 2 years old, her mother could no longer stand such a marriage.
Angry, he divorced, married to Taiwan, and left his children behind.
After his mother left, Wu Shengming's father felt that it was a shame to send his wife to remarry.
So I went to Shanghai alone to buy a villa.
Take the old business, continue to be a fan of wind and snow, paper drunk gold.
In desperation, Wu Shengming's grandmother had to take on the responsibility of taking care of the children.
Because his parents were not around, the young Wu Shengming was very independent.
The elders in the family are guarding the drug store,
She wouldn't run out and play with children her age.
Instead, stay in the family shop to help.
I thought that Wu Shengming would grow up under the care of his grandmother in this way.
But no one expected that her father brought a woman when she was 12 years old.
That is, Wu Shengming's stepmother returned to her hometown.
The father was the head of the house, and no one could disobey the ideas of the head of the house in those days.
Even Wu Shengming was no exception.
At that time, in order to climb up with the county magistrate, my father promised the county magistrate,
Married the eldest daughter, Wu Shengming, to the son of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate's son was ten years older than Wu Shengming,
Wu Shengming, who is very assertive, does not like this family affair at all.
So he tried to escape the marriage.
But she still failed to resist her father's tough tactics, when her grandparents were not at home.
Her father ordered Someone to carry Wu Shengming into the wedding car and carry him to the county magistrate's house.
The grandfather who learned of this rushed to his home and failed to stop the tragedy.
In desperation, my grandfather could only discuss with the county magistrate and first foster Wu Shengming in the county magistrate's home.
In order to give Wu Shengming the greatest freedom space,
My grandfather gave the county magistrate 30 acres of land, in order to make the county magistrate's family not treat Wu Shengming badly.
And the grandfather demanded that Wu Shengming must be of the right age before he could round the house with the county magistrate's son.
The conditions given by the grandfather are good, and Wu Shengming is clever and clever,
The county magistrate's family naturally treated her like a daughter-in-law.
But even so, Wu Shengming still did not want to continue this feudal marriage,
Instead, I want to be able to fall in love freely.
Moreover, Wu Shengming, who grew up watching his family do business,
She always had a dream of doing business, and once she got married, she couldn't fulfill that dream.
So, in 1949, Wu Shengming, who was already 16 years old,
I began to think about how to escape from the "in-laws" family.
Wu Shengming's mother-in-law at that time treated her very well and always loved her.
Therefore, when Wu Shengming proposed to go to Shaoxing City to buy some newlywed costumes for himself,
The mother-in-law did not hesitate to agree to Wu Shengming, and even gave her some money.
So, in early 1950, Wu Shengming went to Shaoxing alone.
In the bustling city, Wu Shengming wants to go to a more prosperous place,
In this way, she can realize her business dreams.
So, Wu Shengming took the little money in his hand to buy a train ticket to Shanghai.
He left his hometown without looking back.
At this time, Wu Shengming changed his original name in order to escape marriage.
"Wu Shengming is the name I gave myself after I ran away from marriage.
It is to believe that today will be better than tomorrow.
Live every day, tomorrow will be better! ”
After arriving in Shanghai, Wu Shengming did not understand the local situation and quickly spent all his money.
In order to feed herself, she had to look around for a job, hoping to find a suitable job.
But Wu Shengming is not tall, thin, and many people are reluctant to ask her to work.
In the end, a military sister-in-law took her in and asked her to work as a nanny at home.
Since then, the rich family has been reduced to beating workers.
When Wu Shengming saved enough money as a nanny, she got up and went to Xi'an.
Went to an uncle who was an officer in the local area.
After arriving in Xi'an, Wu Shengming was arranged by his uncle to live in the dormitory building.
He also helped her contact the school, hoping that she would continue her studies.
It was during this time that Wu Shengming learned knowledge,
While meeting her first love.
At that time, the officer's uncle had an instructor named Yu Ping.
He is upright and beautiful in appearance.
Wu Shengming and Yu Ping fell in love at first sight and often secretly met privately.
However, it is a pity that Wu Shengming's uncle does not understand the style,
I hope that Wu Shengming can tie the knot with his attendant.
Therefore, Sheng Sheng broke up a pair of Mandarin ducks and transferred Yu Ping to Beijing.
But Wu Shengming refused to die, she still insisted on writing letters to Yu Ping to contact feelings,
As a result, after being discovered by his uncle, he directly intercepted their correspondence.
The two have been on their separate sides ever since.
After a few years, Wu Shengming inadvertently learned that Yu Ping's illness was to be treated surgically in Beijing.
Worried about her sweetheart, she decided to take a trip to Beijing.
But unfortunately, Wu Shengming was just about to get out of the car when he was stopped by his uncle's men.
As soon as we met, before we could say anything, we had to separate again,
Wu Shengming, who was sad in his heart, had to break away from his uncle's men.
While threatening them to stop: "Don't let me go down, I'll jump out of the car!" ”
In desperation, the driver could only brake urgently and wait for Yu Ping to catch up with them.
Yu Ping looked at Wu Shengming and couldn't calm down for a long time, but there was not much time left for them.
He could only stuff the note prepared in advance into Wu Shengming's hand.
Then watch the beloved woman fade away.
2 Self-made, happy knots
Sitting in the car, Wu Shengming opened the note, which read:
"The Yangtze River has never returned, but watch the river flow westward."
Suddenly, tears flowed down, and Wu Shengming knew that it would be difficult for her to see Yu Ping again in this life.
And this sentence also made Wu Shengming remember his life.
After leaving Beijing, Wu Shengming returned to Shanghai.
She knows if she doesn't have her own financial strength,
All your life you can only be at the mercy of others.
So in Shanghai, Wu Sheng understood how to start a business and began to do business.
"2,000 yuan to start a business, by 1984, has created more than 20 million yuan of assets."
Wu Shengming recalled the days of the past, and he was full of pride.
In the earliest days, she opened a small shop, and after making a fortune,
She opened a mall, a hotel again.
Until the eve of 1990, Wu Shengming had already made many ordinary people,
The multi-millionaires who can't reach it.
At the age of 25, Wu Shengming met a younger brother, Zhang Siyuan, who was 7 years younger than her.
In the day-to-day contact, the two gradually developed a good feeling for each other.
Four years later, 24-year-old Zhang Siyuan proposed to Wu Shengming.
However, because of his family's poverty, he was opposed by Wu Shengming's family.
So Wu Shengming ran to Qinghai with Zhang Siyuan and got married there.
After marriage, because Zhang Siyuan has a craft of repairing things,
Wu Shengming first opened a small shop for her husband, and then considered doing business in the local area.
But the business has not yet been completed, and 29-year-old Wu Shengming is distressed about having a child.
Because Wu Shengming had a habitual miscarriage, he miscarried four times before and after.
This made two people who wanted children very sad.
Some doctors have suggested that it may be that the plateau climate of Qinghai has affected Wu Shengming.
Therefore, Wu Shengming and her husband moved back to Zhengzhou to settle down.
When he returned to Zhengzhou, Wu Shengming was 42 years old.
After carefully conditioning her body for a while, she finally became pregnant again.
As an elderly mother, Wu Shengming is very worried about whether this child can be born safely.
Fortunately, in 1975, Wu Shengming gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
She named her daughter Zhang Yan and hoped that her child's life would be colorful and colorful.
After the birth of the child, Wu Shengming finally began to do business again.
She took out the money she had saved from years of business,
Then he borrowed 15,000 yuan from the bank and started his first business in his hometown.
And named it "Ai Yan Trade" after his daughter.
At that time, radio and indeed good cloth were very popular,
Wu Shengming seized this business opportunity and rushed to Guangdong and other places to buy goods.
Then take it back to Xi'an and Zhengzhou for sale.
Back and forth, earning a pot full of pots.
"Batch release materials, on the pound to sell, others are rushing to pick up the weight,
I don't grab it, waiting for them to pick the rest. ”
Wu Shengming is well versed in the way of doing business, because she always takes the initiative to light cloth,
In fact, this light cloth is a large piece of cloth,
And the heavy goods that are being scrambled for are all rags.
In addition, the boss of the seller will always stay until the end,
He will also buy the bottom of the goods, so he secretly discounts her.
Therefore, Wu Shengming took cheap raw materials to the factory for processing.
Then sell the finished product at a high price.
As a result, Wu Shengming quickly ran his company well.
Busy with work, Wu Shengming inevitably has to travel around on business,
It's just that she never expected to meet a deceased person on the way to work.
Wu Shengming once went on a business trip to buy goods, and as usual, he lived in the soft sleeper private room of the train.
But as soon as she entered the carriage, she giggled in her heart,
Because she saw Yu Ping, the man she thought she would never see again in this life.
And Yu Ping couldn't help but look at her twice, although she felt that her eyes were familiar,
But the two have not seen each other for many years, and they have long since lost their youthful appearance.
Therefore, Yu Ping did not recognize Wu Shengming.
At this time, Wu Shengming was worried about her husband and daughter, so she was reluctant to recognize Yu Ping.
The two looked at each other wordlessly in the carriage, and finally Yu Ping asked her first:
What is your name?
Wu Shengming knew that as long as she said her name at this time,
The two will inevitably hug each other and cry, and she may also have courage,
Let go of the current family and Yu Ping to continue the frontier.
But Wu Shengming can't, she has a young daughter,
She didn't want her daughter to repeat the mistakes of the past and lose her happy family life.
After thinking about it again, Wu Shengming borrowed her husband's surname to deceive Yu Ping.
She told Yu Ping that her surname was Zhang.
Yu Ping nodded silently, until Wu Shengming got off the train at the station.
She stuffed a note into Yu Ping's hand.
This scene is like when the two were separated at the train station.
On that piece of paper is the sentence that Yu Ping once wrote to Wu Shengming:
The Yangtze River has never returned, but watch the river flow westward.
When Yu Ping saw these words, Wu Shengming had disappeared into the vast sea of people at the station.
Their reunion seemed like a dream,
Let the two of them make a break for their love.
Wu Shengming and Yu Ping were sad after separating,
But at this time, she did not know that her husband Zhang Siyuan was busy with the nanny at home.
3 He was imprisoned and his husband abandoned his daughter
Wu Shengming's mother-in-law lived with them all year round, and during Wu Shengming's business trip,
The mother-in-law broke her son's love affair.
She could not bear the grievances of her busy daughter-in-law, and secretly reminded Wu Shengming.
At that time, Wu Shengming was busy working, and after understanding the meaning of his mother-in-law,
Quickly returned to Zhengzhou, while opening a new company,
On the one hand, he dismissed the nanny who had an affair with her husband.
But she did not expect that her husband was very stubborn,
She directly took her hard-earned money to rent a house outside, and B raised the nanny.
However, Wu Shengming has no time to take care of it, because she has to work harder.
Provide a good living environment for the daughter.
In 1984, Wu Shengming's value far exceeded 10 million,
In Sichuan, Zhejiang, as well as in henan provinces have their own enterprises.
With money in her hands, she doesn't skimp on spending.
On the 10th birthday of her daughter Zhang Yan, Wu Shengming had a big feast,
Invited the teachers and students of the same school as her daughter to dinner, and also distributed red envelopes to poor students.
"Almost all the teachers and classmates came, and finally forty or fifty tables were set up."
It is said that Wu Shengming spent almost 200,000 yuan that time.
Throwing thousands of dollars, Wu Shengming became the "big sister" in the eyes of others.
But Wu Shengming felt that it was not enough, and she also wanted to have more money and become richer.
"Money can make ghosts grind, and it costs money to dredge relationships,
Make more money, and the money you can earn must be earned. ”
In 1985, Wu Shengming learned that it was very profitable to sell high-end cars.
So in the absence of the right to distribute the automobile category,
Imported 48 high-end cars.
After this batch of goods was sold, Wu Shengming made millions in one go.
Driven by money, the rich woman embarked on the road of crime step by step.
Soon, Wu Shengming's use of contract fraud and "speculation" were discovered by the police.
At the age of 52, her dream of being rich was shattered.
Eventually she was arrested for "smuggling and contract fraud",
He was sentenced to death at the end of 1986 and later commuted to life imprisonment.
After Wu Shengming was imprisoned, her husband was even more unscrupulous to eat and drink with Xiao San.
It doesn't matter how her daughter Zhang Yan is doing.
In 1988, Zhang Siyuan handed the divorce agreement to the prison and divorced Wu Shengming.
And their daughter was also sent by Zhang Siyuan to his uncle's house in the countryside.
After that, Zhang Siyuan took Xiao San to Anhui to settle down.
Zhang Yan never knew how many crimes Wu Shengming had committed.
Every day she is trying to live and study, waiting for her mother to take her home.
Until 1991, 16-year-old Zhang Yan could not escape the rebellious period.
Quarreled with my uncle.
The great uncle who usually cherished her was angry for a moment,
Yelling at her, "Your mother is indefinite and will never come back." ”
Zhang Yan was deeply shocked by this, and she cried and called her father Zhang Siyuan,
He hoped that his father would pick her up, but Zhang Siyuan directly rejected his daughter without even thinking about it.
It was Zhang Yan's 16th birthday, and she felt desperate to lose her parents.
I don't know where she got a bottle of pesticides, and took advantage of uncle's inattention to drink it.
The flower season ended her short life.
In prison, Wu Shengming learned the news of his daughter's death and cried bitterly.
She was ready to commit suicide and go with Zhang Yan,
But at this time, she received a suicide note from her daughter.
"In my eyes, you have the ability, if you can come out one day,
Don't think about making any more money, try to do something that is good for society.
You can take in homeless children or the elderly who are under the fence,
If you don't say yes, I won't be blind..."
Wu Shengming's words lifted wu shengming's spirits, and she was determined to reform herself and strive for a reduction in sentence.
In 1996, Wu Shengming was moved to Shanghai Women's Prison to serve his sentence.
In the cell, she recalled her bumpy life and felt a lot of emotions.
She has been brilliant, she has been lonely, she has been in, she has fallen.
Wu Shengming felt that his experience should be written into a story and let others take it as a warning.
So she began writing her own autobiographical novel "Prison Road" in prison.
After The publication of Wu Shengming's novel, it also attracted producers from Shanghai Television.
Based on the story of Wu Shengming, the producer filmed 8 episodes of the TV series "The Criminal and the Daughter".
When the TV series premiered in prison, many prison guards and prisoners were deeply touched and burst into tears.
On July 28, 2003, Wu Shengming finally regained his freedom at the age of 70.
She was sent back to Zhengzhou City and arranged a 18-square-meter cottage.
The local police station and the street gave her a job cleaning public toilets.
She can earn $400 a month.
The following year, Wu Shengming was rated as an excellent cleaner for his excellent performance.
During this time, she has always cherished herself,
Buy 1 yuan baby cream skin care, buy eyebrow pencil lipstick to make a light makeup.
4 Flip against the wind and struggle for the rest of your life
In March 2005, Wu Shengming used his spare time to clean up,
The autobiographical novel Phoenix Nirvana: The Autobiography of Wu Shengming was finally published.
In addition to receiving a part of the objective publication fee, she was also reported by many media.
In many interviews, she always said that she hopes to use the money she earns to open a nursing home.
Because helping the homeless is the daughter's last wish.
But Wu Shengming did not expect that her words attracted the liar Zhang Jingqiang.
"I want to build a nursing home like you, but I'm not going to do business."
Wu Shengming fulfilled his daughter's last wish and immediately took out more than 300,000 yuan,
With Zhang Jingqiang, he ran a vineyard in Shaanxi.
After that, Zhang Jingqiang amassed a fortune of 600,000 yuan in the name of Wu Shengming.
In September 2005, Zhang Jingqiang told Wu Shengming that he was going out to buy grape seedlings.
He then fled with 900,000, leaving Wu Shengming with a piece of chicken feathers.
In 2006, in order to fulfill his daughter's last wish, Wu Shengming regained his strength and decided to start again.
She herself travels every day for the 170 acres of vineyard.
"I made tens of millions of dollars more than 20 years ago, and now I can!"
In order to make more money, Wu Shengming developed the vineyard into a tourist orchard.
A women's wilderness fund was also received.
Soon after, Wu Shengming opened Yangling Hongyang Fruit Industry Technology Company,
Wu Mama Xingnong Technology Company and many other enterprises.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Shengming, who is more than 80 years old, has become a multi-millionaire again.
In 2010, Wu Shengming finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish and opened a free nursing home.
But the sky did not go according to people's wishes, Wu Shengming was improperly managed because of lack of experience,
After holding on for a while, the nursing home closed its doors.
But Wu Shengming was not reconciled, and she ran to a nursing home in Xi'an to become the president.
Although there are only about 80 elderly people in this nursing home, for Wu Shengming,
The fewer people she has, the better she can manage and take care of every elderly person.
In addition to business, Wu Shengming will also accompany the elderly for walking activities.
Almost every day, Wu Shengming had to be busy until the early hours of the morning to rest.
Today, the nursing home makes about $700,000 a year.
In 2013, Wu Shengming launched the "Fifth Large-scale Public Welfare Event for Helping Children with Poverty-stricken Congenital Heart Disease".
Further realized the daughter's last wish.
In 2016, ex-husband Zhang Siyuan approached Wu Shengming and asked for a remarriage.
Although Wu Shengming hated him for ignoring his daughter, he could never despair.
Eventually, she left Zhang Siyuan in a nursing home.
Wu Shengming, who is now 89 years old, is still busy doing public welfare undertakings.
She wears delicate makeup every day and runs around in high heels.
There was a time when she went to the hospital for a physical examination, and the results of the examination showed that
Wu Shengming's cell age is only 51 years old, and the bone age is almost 30 years old.
She always felt that she still had the time and ability to continue to fulfill her daughter's last wishes.
"Man should fight for his dreams, even if I fail,
In the future, when I see my daughter in heaven, I can also say that I have tried. ”
After Wu Shengming was released from prison, he started all over again and became a multi-millionaire again.
It is because she does not want to accept defeat, but also because she has the support of her daughter's will.
Wu Shengming's life is very legendary, she ran away from marriage,
Tearing the heart and lungs for the first love, but also for the family liver and intestines have been cut off.
But she will never easily bow to fate, she has always faced a bleak life.
Knowing mistakes can improve greatly, compared to serving a sentence,
Perhaps the departure of her daughter was the harshest punishment for Wu Shengming.
Now that she can devote herself to public welfare, it is also a kind of atonement.
Wu Shengming once said: "I am a rebellious woman who never bows to fate. ”
For her, this rebellious life will continue, and the road of public welfare is still a long way to go.
