Under the lights of Beijing, a high-end social gathering is kicking off. At this time, 34-year-old Liu Bo, Mr. Ji Xianlin's most proud protégé, has stepped into the cusp of the capital market, however, his life trajectory is about to take a dramatic turn due to a chance encounter.
In the venue, the lights were on and many stars gathered, including many shining stars in the entertainment industry, including the actress Xu Qing, who is famous for her alluring appearance. The first meeting between the two, as if it was fate, quickly evolved into a love affair that attracted the attention of the whole city. However, the story behind it is far more complex than the glamour on the surface.
Liu Bo's wealth and reputation do not seem to be able to fill the emptiness and anxiety deep in his heart. A few years later, when everything seemed to be on track, a major financial scandal pushed him to the forefront and he had to choose to flee. Why did he choose to abandon everything at the peak of his life and flee to Japan?
Mr. Ji Xianlin's closed disciple
After completing his undergraduate studies in the Department of Chinese at Wuhan University, Liu Bo faced an important life decision in 1982. Although his talent in the field of literature was widely recognized by teachers and students, and many expected him to continue his studies in this field, or even go directly into academia, Liu Bo chose an unusual path.
He has a keen interest in traditional Chinese culture, especially Chinese medicine, which combines philosophy, culture and science, which attracts his attention. In the autumn of that year, Liu Bo left the palace of literature and came to the Hunan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine to start another learning journey.
At the beginning, Liu Bo faced a lot of challenges due to the complete change of field of study. TCM encompasses a wide range of knowledge systems, including but not limited to pharmacology, acupuncture, massage, and anatomy. Despite this, Liu Bo quickly mastered the basic theories and clinical skills of Chinese medicine with his excellent learning ability and hard work.
In 1986, with the end of the postgraduate course in Chinese medicine, Liu Bo once again stood at the crossroads of his life. This time, his choice was even more surprising when he applied to the Department of Philosophy at Peking University. This decision was inspired in part by his deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture, particularly his exposure to philosophical elements during his studies in Chinese medicine.
After undergoing interdisciplinary academic training, Liu Bo was finally admitted to the Department of Philosophy of Peking University to study for a doctorate. In his second year at Peking University, Liu Bo's academic life took an unexpected turn for the better. Mr. Ji Xianlin, as a leader in the field of Chinese Studies, usually pays attention to academic journals inside and outside the university in addition to teaching and research.
By chance, he read a poetry review article published by Liu Bo in the Journal of Peking University. This paper analyzes the linguistic art and philosophical ideas of ancient poetry in simple terms, showing the author's profound literary literacy and philosophical understanding. Mr. Ji Xianlin was moved by the insight and writing of the article, and became interested in Liu Bo.
Subsequently, Mr. Ji Xianlin found Liu Bo through the contact information of the college and invited him to his office for an in-depth conversation. During the dialogue, Liu Bo showed his enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture and deep understanding of philosophy, which made Ji Xianlin even more recognize the potential and talent of this young scholar.
After several such academic exchanges, Mr. Ji Xianlin decided to accept Liu Bo as a disciple, hoping to further guide his academic research and ideological growth. After becoming a disciple of Mr. Ji Xianlin, Liu Bo's academic career ushered in rapid development.
Under the careful guidance of Ji Lao, Liu Bo not only deeply studied traditional philosophies such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, but also began to try to dialogue and integrate these traditional ideas with Western philosophical theories. His research results have been continuously presented in various academic forums and seminars, and have gradually been recognized in the academic community.
A short stay in my hometown and a new journey
In 1990, after completing his studies in the Department of Philosophy at Peking University, Liu Bo decided to return to his hometown of Hunan. He got a job at the Zhuzhou City Press Picture newspaper and started his journalism career. The newspaper is known for its wide social reach and rich news resources, and has a good reputation in the local area.
Liu Bo is an editor here, responsible for writing and editing news articles, especially those that deal with cultural and social topics. During his days of working at Zhuzhou News Photos, Liu Bo devoted great enthusiasm and effort to journalism. Every day, he arrives at the office early, carefully flips through various newspapers and materials, and selects the right news points for in-depth reporting.
His articles are often appreciated by his colleagues, and sometimes even appear on the front pages of newspapers. Over time, however, Liu began to feel the constraints of journalism. He found that many times, the depth and breadth of the coverage was constrained by various force majeure, which made him feel a little frustrated.
In addition, as a person with a profound academic background, Liu Bo has an inner desire for a broader stage and greater development space. In 1991, after careful consideration, Liu Bo decided to resign from his job at the Zhuzhou City News and Picture Newspaper. He plans to travel to Hainan, a special economic zone that is seen as the forefront of China's reform and opening up, where he hopes to find more opportunities and challenges.
That year, he arrived in Hainan alone and with a few pieces of luggage. After arriving in Hainan, Liu Bo quickly integrated into this vibrant land. Hainan's economy is developing rapidly, and various investment opportunities are emerging one after another. During this period, Liu Bo inspected a number of industries and markets in detail, and finally set his sights on the pharmaceutical industry.
He found that although Hainan's pharmaceutical industry is still in its infancy, it has great potential for development. In 1992, Liu Bo learned about a company called "Shell Pharmaceutical Factory" through various channels. The registered capital of this company is not large, and it lacks effective operation, and is basically in a state of stagnation.
After some investigation and analysis, Liu Bo believes that this company can be used as a springboard for investment. He conducted several rounds of negotiations with the shareholders of the pharmaceutical company, and finally obtained control of the company on certain terms.
After mastering the management rights of the "shell pharmaceutical factory", Liu Bo began to plan a larger business plan. He applied for a loan from the Bank of China in Hainan, planning to use the funds to expand the production scale of the pharmaceutical factory and introduce advanced production lines and technologies. With the support of a detailed business plan and future earnings projections, Liu Bo successfully persuaded the bank to approve a loan of 30 million.
The successful approval of this loan marked Liu Bo's official entry into the capital market, the beginning of his business adventure, and his career grew bigger and bigger, becoming China's richest man in just a few years.
Peaks and loops of love and family
On a spring evening in 1998, at a high-end social gathering in Beijing, 34-year-old Liu Bo was fortunate to meet Xu Qing, an actress who was already famous at that time. The party was held in a beautifully landscaped private clubhouse and invited many business elites and entertainment personalities. The interior of the clubhouse is luxuriously decorated, and the atmosphere is warm and elegant, filled with a variety of artworks and exquisite decorations.
That night, Xu Qing wore a simple but elegant evening dress, which was particularly eye-catching among the many guests attending the meeting. She is widely known for her outstanding performance in TV dramas, and her temperament and charm in her gestures have attracted the attention of many guests, including Liu Bo.
The two first met by chance in front of the buffet table. Xu Qing was holding a plate to choose food, and Liu Bo happened to be standing next to her. In the process of taking the food, Liu Bo politely handed her a plate and briefly introduced himself.
The two then struck up a conversation, with Liu Bo researching Xu Qing's television work, and the conversation quickly expanded from work to discussion of art and culture.
During the evening, the two had several opportunities to have in-depth conversations, discussing their respective careers and expectations for the future. As the party progressed, the two apparently developed a keen interest in each other. At the end of the party, Liu Bo politely invited Xu Qing to participate in the next literary salon activity, and Xu Qing also gladly accepted the invitation.
In the months that followed, Liu Bo and Xu Qing's relationship developed rapidly. They often attended various cultural events, movie premieres and private parties together, and gradually became the focus of media attention. Their relationship was soon reported by many media, triggering widespread social attention and discussion.
Many people are excited about the combination of the golden boy and girl, but many are concerned about Liu Bo's already family background. After Liu Bo's original wife learned the news of her husband's cheating, she was extremely shocked and distressed. She had tried to write a letter to Liu Bo's father, asking the old man to intervene, hoping to restore the family that was about to be broken.
In the letter, she expressed her deep affection for her family and her concern for her daughter's future. Despite the efforts of family and friends, the rift between Liu Bo and his original wife was never repaired. After a series of pain and conflicts, the two decided to break up peacefully.
Although this decision brought a certain relief to each other, it was a huge blow to everyone involved, especially their daughter. Since then, the relationship between Liu Bo and Xu Qing has continued to maintain for a period of time, but this relationship, which began due to heated media discussions, gradually faded out of the public eye in the following years.
The ups and downs of capital and the dilemma of old age
By 2002, Liu Bo's life and career had entered an extremely difficult phase. The capital market position, which had been gradually accumulated in Hainan through pharmaceutical companies and other related investments, began to show serious cracks due to a series of unfavorable investment decisions and market changes.
In that year, several large projects he invested in suffered one after another due to various external economic factors and internal management problems, resulting in huge economic losses. Faced with an increasingly tight financial situation, Liu Bo had to consider selling some of his assets to ease the financial pressure. Eventually, he decided to sell part of the pharmaceutical company in which he controlled.
This decision was forced to be made under the strong demand and constant pressure of many creditors. He went through several rounds of complicated negotiations with several interested companies and individuals, and in the end, he had to transfer his shares to a large pharmaceutical group at a price below the market price.
The process of transferring equity was not smooth, with numerous legal and financial disputes coming with it. After the transfer was completed, Liu Bo lost control of the pharmaceutical factory, which also marked the end of an important part of the business empire he had worked so hard to build over the years. The change was a devastating blow to Mr. Liu, with a serious impact on his business reputation and personal reputation.
To make matters worse, in October of the same year, Liu Bo was formally prosecuted by the judicial authorities on suspicion of fraud in obtaining bank loans and conducting company capital operations. Faced with possible criminal penalties and a deteriorating public image, Liu Bo felt unprecedented pressure.
In 2003, when Liu Bo was 40 years old, when the case entered the judicial process and the trial was about to begin, Liu Bo decided to leave China. In the name of traveling to Japan for medical treatment, he actually escaped the chase of Chinese law. His escape attracted widespread attention, and soon Interpol issued a red notice against him, making Liu Bo an international fugitive.
In Japan, Liu Bo lives in extreme seclusion and loneliness. His health deteriorated year by year due to long-term physical and psychological stress. He tried to control his condition through medical means, but the double torture of illness and stress caused his physical condition to continue to decline. During his years in Japan, he had little contact with the outside world and lived in close isolation.
Finally, in November 2017, Liu Bo died of illness in Japan at the age of 53.
