Spring Festival, a festival that carries the dream of reunion for Chinese, always makes people feel a strong sense of nostalgia. Even glamorous stars are inevitably drawn by this homesickness.
On this special day, we saw two high-profile stars choose to return to their roots, interpreting the meaning of "leaves fall back to their roots" in their own way.
40-year-old Wang Baoqiang, a powerful actor who came out of the countryside, is now a big star with a net worth of more than 100 million. However, fame and wealth did not make him forget his origins.
During the Spring Festival this year, he chose to return to his hometown in Xingtai, Hebei Province for the New Year. Although he was wearing a coat worth 17,000 yuan that day, Wang Baoqiang still maintained his usual down-to-earth style.
When they learned the news of Wang Baoqiang's return to his hometown, many villagers came to his door, hoping to take a photo with this "pride of the village". In the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, Wang Baoqiang did not have the slightest star shelf, but walked out of the yard very generously to meet everyone's requirements one by one.
He had a simple smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a deep attachment to his hometown. Wang Baoqiang's house in his hometown is said to have been built by him for his elderly parents. Although this house is not as good as the mansions in the first-tier cities, it can be regarded as one of the best "mansions" in the village.
It is a detached house with a large yard and a considerable area. The exterior and interior decoration of the house are relatively simple, which is very in line with the life style of Wang Baoqiang's family. This choice to return to the basics, just like Wang Baoqiang himself, although he has achieved fame, he has never forgotten his original intention, and his lifestyle is still very simple, which can be called a clear stream in the entertainment industry.
On the other hand, badminton star Lin Dan also chose to take his family back to his hometown in Fujian for the New Year. Unlike Wang Baoqiang, Lin Dan built a rather imposing house in his hometown.
This is a new three-storey single-family villa in his hometown in Fujian a year ago, and it has been rumored that this mansion is worth 70 million. Although Lin Dan's wife Xie Xingfang once refuted the rumor that the house was not worth so much money, there should still be a value of tens of millions.
This Spring Festival, Lin Dan's family and friends had dinner in the living room at home. As you can see from the photos, the dining room in the mansion is very spacious, the decoration is in European style, and there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which looks very high-end.
After eating, Lin Dan and his wife Xie Xingfang also went to the door to set off fireworks, and under the background of the lights, you can see the sculptures on the exterior wall of the mansion, which looks very impressive as a whole. As one of the top sports stars in China, Lin Dan has a net worth of more than 100 million.
Although his lifestyle is much more luxurious than that of Wang Baoqiang, this choice to return to his hometown and reunite with his family also reflects his nostalgia for his hometown. Whether it is Wang Baoqiang's simplicity or Lin Dan's luxury, their return to their hometowns shows us that even if they become famous, their hometown will always be the softest piece in the hearts of celebrities.
The Spring Festival is not only a moment for them to return to their true nature, but also an opportunity for them to reconnect with their hometown and past selves. From the hustle and bustle of the countryside to the bustling metropolis, the abode of the stars is equally breathtaking.
In this Chinese New Year, we were able to get a glimpse of their home in the city and experience a completely different living atmosphere. The 59-year-old Li Ning, a sports legend-turned-business legend, owns a jaw-dropping mansion in Hong Kong.
According to outside speculation, the value of this mansion is as high as 200 million yuan. However, for Li Ning, who has a net worth of more than 10 billion, this is only a small part of his huge assets.
During this year's Spring Festival, Li Ning chose to hold a star-studded party in this palace-like residence. He invited nearly 20 celebrities, most of whom are from the sports world, including Guo Jingjing and Zhang Yining, who have married into wealthy families.
It is rumored that this gathering is for the promotion of Li Ning's new store. From the leaked photos, we can get a glimpse of the luxury of Li Ning's mansion. The spacious living room could easily accommodate more than 20 people, but it still looked spacious.
The corridor is as wide as a five-star hotel. The decoration of the whole room can be described as splendid, showing the extraordinary status and taste of the owner everywhere. Li Ning stood in the center of the living room, his eyes swept around, and a faint pride appeared on his face.
It is not only a testimony to the success of his career, but also a warm harbor for him to entertain old friends. On this special day, Li Ning interprets the lifestyle of successful people in his way.
In stark contrast to Li Ning's lavish style, Chen Kun's mansion is located in Beijing's affluent district. The 46-year-old Chen Kun chose a modern and simple decoration style, low-key and tasteful.
During the Spring Festival, he posted a photo with his mother and son on social platforms, with a simple and straightforward text: "Father and son, in Beijing." It is rumored that in this wealthy area where Chen Kun lives, the housing price is surprisingly high, costing 100,000 yuan per square meter.
This means that the price of a house can range from a few million to tens of millions. However, in Chen Kun's eyes, the value here is not that it is expensive, but that it allows him and his family to have a quiet and comfortable place to live after their busy work.
As you can see from the photos, the interior decoration of Chen Kun's house is very modern, it looks simple and stylish, and it is more inclined to the aesthetics of young people. This choice of style may reflect Chen Kun's low-key and introverted personality.
Standing in the living room, Chen Kun's eyes revealed his love for his family and his cherishing of life. In the simple space, it is full of strong family affection. This warm atmosphere, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, has become a warm harbor for Chen Kun outside of his busy acting career.
From the resplendor of Li Ning to the simplicity and modernity of Chen Kun, these urban mansions not only show the wealth and strength of the stars, but also reflect their respective life attitudes and aesthetic tastes.
In this Spring Festival, they interpret the meaning of "home" in their own ways, and also let us see the other side of the stars outside the spotlight. In today's globalized world, some celebrities choose to extend their lives overseas.
Their overseas mansions are not only a symbol of wealth, but also a reflection of the boundaries of their lives. In this Spring Festival, we are fortunate to have a glimpse of the overseas life of the two female stars and feel their different lives in a foreign country.
Wei Wei, the former diva of the music scene, now 59 years old, she chose to settle in the United States and live a peaceful and nourishing life with her three mixed-race sons. Wei Wei's life is legendary: when she was young, she married her foreign husband Michael, who was 25 years older, and gave birth to three sons, but unfortunately suffered domestic violence.
After a difficult divorce and threats from her ex-husband, she finally got out of this painful marriage. Now, with the death of her ex-husband, her tragic love life seems to have come to an end.
During the Spring Festival, Wei Wei posted photos of the whole family celebrating the New Year in a mansion in the United States on social platforms. From the photo, we can see the spacious kitchen, the high-end dining room, and the long dining table full of ceremonies.
Earlier on Christmas, Wei Wei also shared the situation at home: the living room is tall and large, and the decoration is in American retro style, which is very emotional. Standing in this exotic home, Wei Wei's eyes revealed satisfaction and happiness, as if telling that he had finally found his spiritual home after going through ups and downs.
The American retro-style decoration and tall space all show her leisurely living state now. And in Hong Kong, there is also a female star who has bought a multinational property - Carina Lau.
As a famous "Hong Kong rich" star, Carina Lau's real estate is all over Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other cities. During the Spring Festival this year, she and her husband, Tony Leung, took photos of their mansion in Hong Kong, with a tall peach tree behind it, from which you can get a glimpse of the spaciousness of the living room.
Carina Lau's Hong Kong mansion is located in the middle of the mountain, with a large yard, a swimming pool and a fish pond, and the environment is very elegant. The interior decoration of the mansion is extremely luxurious, and famous paintings and antiques can be seen everywhere.
This is not only the warm residence of Carina Lau and Tony Leung, but also the main place she uses to entertain her rich and wealthy friends. Standing in the courtyard, Carina Lau's eyes looked into the distance, as if she was reminiscing about her wonderful life.
From an entertainer to a successful businessman today, her mansion is undoubtedly the best testimony to her career success. Wei Wei and Carina Lau's overseas life shows the stars' pursuit of quality of life after their successful careers, as well as their influence on the international stage.
Whether it is the leisure of the United States or the prosperity of Hong Kong, they are interpreting the charm of successful women in their own way. In this Spring Festival, we also got a glimpse of the mansions of some of the older generation of artists, whose residences not only show wealth, but also reflect the wisdom and aesthetic taste of life that have been precipitated for many years.
The mansion of the famous comedian Gong Hanlin is a single-family multi-storey villa located in a magnificent residential area. During this year's Spring Festival, 65-year-old Gong Hanlin's family gathered together, and his daughter-in-law shared photos of the family dinner on social platforms.
As you can see from the photo, in the spacious dining room, the family is sitting around a large round table, and the warm and harmonious atmosphere is vividly displayed. Next to it are the large floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing the grandeur of the house.
The interior decoration of Gong Hanlin's mansion blends Chinese and Western styles, which is both simple and elegant in Chinese style and modern in Western style. The door in the living room is very tall and magnificent, and the house is very spacious overall.
The ceiling is high, a lavish chandelier hangs, and the TV backdrop has a retro vibe. In the living room, you can see an entire wall of famous wines and collectibles, and at first glance it looks like a "big family".
Sitting on the comfortable sofa, Gong Hanlin watched his grandchildren play with kind eyes, and his face was full of happy smiles. Now he has gradually withdrawn from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, mainly living a retirement life of "making his grandson happy", which is an enviable state of life.
Another "Hong Kong rich" star, Lu Liangwei, also owns a breathtaking mansion. 66-year-old Lu Liangwei came to the mainland to develop in his early years, married Yang Xiaojuan, a wealthy woman in Guizhou who was 18 years younger, in addition to filming commercial performances, he also got involved in business, and was rumored to be worth billions.
Lu Liangwei's mansion in Shanghai is a single-family garden-style building located in the heart of Shanghai. This mansion has a large yard and is in a great location, and the price is conceivable.
In Hong Kong, Lu Liangwei and his wife also own a luxury house with a very luxurious interior. It has often become the main place for them to entertain friends in the Hong Kong circle, such as Guan Zhilin, Donnie Yen and his wife, etc.
During this year's Spring Festival, Lu Liangwei and his wife also invited Qi Jiao, the former daughter-in-law of the gambling king, to be a guest. As can be seen from the photos, the living room of Lu Liangwei's mansion in Hong Kong is very spacious, the overall Chinese style, and antiques and famous paintings can be seen everywhere, which is very emotional.
Lu Liangwei stood in the center of the living room, his eyes swept over the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and his eyes revealed his love for art and his perception of life. The mansions of these older generation artists are not only the fruits of their years of hard work, but also the concentrated embodiment of their life experience and aesthetic taste.
From Gong Hanlin's combination of Chinese and Western to Lu Liangwei's Chinese style, every detail tells the owner's taste and attitude to life. In this Spring Festival, they interpret the art of life of successful people in their own way, and also let us see the other side of the stars outside the spotlight.
The allure of a star mansion lies not only in its amazing value, but also in every detail from the exterior to the interior decoration. These mansions are like a three-dimensional picture album, showing the owner's taste and lifestyle.
From the outside, these mansions can be described as distinctive. Gong Hanlin's single-family multi-storey villa is extraordinary, with festive red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate, and a strong festive atmosphere is blowing in the face.
The whole community is already very magnificent, and Gong Hanlin's mansion stands out among them. Lin Dan's three-storey single-family villa in his hometown in Fujian Province incorporates modern design elements.
From the outside, this villa is very imposing in terms of size and appearance. On the night of the Spring Festival, when Lin Dan and his wife Xie Xingfang went to the door to set off fireworks, we could see that there were exquisite sculptures on the outer wall of the mansion, which looked particularly stylish against the backdrop of the lights.
Carina Lau's Mid-Levels villa in Hong Kong has a unique extravagance. This house has a very large yard with a swimming pool and a fish pond, and the environment is very elegant, like a private garden.
Standing in the courtyard and overlooking the bustling scene of Hong Kong in the distance must be a unique enjoyment. The interior of the mansion is even more breathtaking. The interior of Li Ning's Hong Kong mansion is resplendent with a corridor as wide as a five-star hotel, showing the extraordinary status of the owner everywhere.
In contrast, Chen Kun's choice of modern minimalist style is low-key and restrained, but it is also tasteful. Wei Wei's American mansion has a strong American retro style, and the tall space makes people feel more comfortable.
The living room is tall and large, and the decoration style is very emotional, reflecting the owner's pursuit of quality of life. The interior of Lu Liangwei's mansion is full of antiques and famous paintings, and the Chinese-style decoration shows the owner's profound cultural heritage.
The spacious living room and carefully selected artwork reflect the owner's taste. Although Wang Baoqiang's house in his hometown can be regarded as a "mansion" in the village, it is much simpler than the mansions of other stars.
This choice of returning to the basics also reflects Wang Baoqiang's character characteristics of not forgetting his original intention. From resplendent to simple and modern, from Chinese classical to American retro, these different styles of decoration not only show the personal taste of the stars, but also reflect their understanding and pursuit of life.
Standing in these mansions, it seems that you can feel the life of the owners in them, and see another side of them outside of their careers. Every meticulously designed detail tells a story of success, taste and lifestyle.
A celebrity's mansion is not just a place to live, but also a direct reflection of their identity, achievements and lifestyle. Each mansion is like a mirror, reflecting the owner's inner world and value pursuit.
For Wang Baoqiang, although the house he built in his hometown can be regarded as a "mansion" in the village, it is much simpler than the mansions of other stars. This not only reflects his grass roots, but also shows his attachment to his homeland.
Even if he is famous and has a net worth of more than 100 million, he still maintains his simple nature, which is more precious than a mansion. Wang Baoqiang's choice allows us to see the image of a star who does not forget his original intention.
Lin Dan's hometown villa in Fujian is a way for him to return to his hometown. The luxurious decoration and magnificent appearance are not only a transcendence of the hard years of the past, but also a manifestation of his deep love for his family.
As one of the top sports stars in China, Lin Dan interprets his success in this way. The mansions of Li Ning and Carina Lau show more of their social needs and life tastes.
These mansions are not only their intimate spaces, but also important places for them to entertain friends and show their achievements. Li Ning's $200 million mansion in Hong Kong can accommodate more than 20 celebrity gatherings, demonstrating his success in the business world.
And Carina Lau's mid-levels villa highlights her status as a "rich man in Hong Kong". Wei Wei's choice to settle down in the United States reflects her yearning for a new life and her relief from the past.
After a bumpy marriage, she found a new direction in her life in a foreign country. The warm atmosphere that pervades the mansion is the outward manifestation of her inner peace. The mansions of Gong Hanlin and Lu Liangwei reflect the pursuit of quality of life by the older generation of artists.
From the combination of Chinese and Western decoration styles to the collection of antique paintings, they all show their life wisdom and aesthetic taste that have been precipitated for many years. Chen Kun's modern minimalist style mansion is low-key and tasteful, just like his person.
It reflects the importance Chen Kun attaches to family life and his pursuit of a quiet life outside of his busy acting career. In a way, these mansions are the epitome of the life journeys of the stars.
They not only record their success, but also witness their growth and transformation. Each mansion is a fascinating story that tells the owner's dreams, struggles and pursuit of a better life.
