On the National Day, the purple clothes amazed the audience
In the golden autumn of October, the whole country celebrates. At the reception for the 75th anniversary of the National Day, an elegant woman in a purple cheongsam attracted everyone's attention.
She exudes the charm of a mature woman in her gestures, but there is a little tenacity in her eyes. This woman is none other than the eldest daughter of gambling king Stanley Ho - He Chaoqiong.
The 62-year-old He Chaoqiong is well-maintained, with fair skin and jet-black hair that sets off the elegance of oriental women. But the most attractive thing is her purple cheongsam.
Purple, noble and mysterious, is also Chen Baiqiang's favorite color.
37 years ago, a youthful trip to Beijing
Back in time 37 years, in Beijing in 1985, a vigorous young girl took a photo on the Great Wall. She had a big smile on her face. This girl was He Chaoqiong, who was 28 years old at the time.
That year, Stanley Ho wanted to come to Beijing to inspect investment opportunities in person, but for some reason he was unable to make the trip.
The young He Chaoqiong took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Beijing on behalf of her father. She not only completed the expedition, but also visited the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and climbed the Great Wall with her friends.
He Chaoqiong stood on the steps of the Forbidden City, smiling like a flower.
Her eyes flashed with a vision for the future and a love for her motherland.
Who would have thought that this young and beautiful girl would become the richest woman in Hong Kong in the future, and she would have an unforgettable love affair with a talented singer.
Chen Baiqiang: It was an accident at first sight
On the day He Chaoqiong set out on her way home, fate played a joke on her. At the airport, she met singer Chen Baiqiang, who was at his peak at the time. Chen Baiqiang was attracted by this young and beautiful girl at a glance.
"She stood there, like a painting." Chen Baiqiang later recalled in an interview, "I thought at the time, how great it would be if I could write a song for her." "
In this way, "I Like You" was born. This song has not only become Chen Baiqiang's masterpiece, but also a classic in the hearts of countless people.
The Trick of Fate: The Choice Between Wealthy and True Love
However, the reality is always cruel. As the daughter of the gambling king, He Chaoqiong shoulders the heavy responsibility of the family. She was arranged to marry Xu Jinheng, the grandson of the ship king, and this marriage was more like a business marriage.
"I know I can't be willful, but there's always a voice in my heart shouting." He Chaoqiong once confided in her best friend in private. Her heart is full of contradictions and struggles.
Life after marriage is not satisfactory. Xu Jinheng has had scandals many times, but He Chaoqiong has forgiven again and again. Her strength and forbearance make people feel distressed.
Chen Baiqiang: Infatuation is hard to resist fate makes people
Chen Baiqiang has never let go of his feelings for He Chaoqiong. He uses music to tell his heart, and behind every classic song, there is a longing for He Chaoqiong.
On the day she got married, he said goodbye in tears.
Judging by the photos, this bride really did not look a little happy.
"I know we can't be together, but I can't help but think about her." Chen Baiqiang wrote in his diary. This affection makes people sigh.
And Chen Baiqiang can only write his thoughts into the song. The sentence in "Just Because I Love You": "No one understands me, no matter how painful it is......" is the expression of his mood at that time.
In 1993, the news of Chen Baiqiang's death shocked the entire entertainment industry. At his funeral, He Chaoqiong came desperately to help the spirit, and this scene became a good story in the entertainment industry.
In 2008, Pansy Ho carried her father Stanley Ho behind her back and finally divorced Xu Jinheng. Perhaps, this marriage was full of contradictions and dissatisfaction from the beginning.
The ups and downs of the business sea have not changed their original intentions
The photo 37 years ago froze He Chaoqiong's best youth.
Today, 37 years later, she is still in the spotlight at her best. The baptism of the years did not smooth out her edges and corners, but made her more mature and wise.
Perhaps, in He Chaoqiong's heart, the young girl who shuttled through the streets of Beijing never left. That love for the motherland, dedication to the cause, and enthusiasm for life have always been there.
And the song "I Like You" may have become a part of her life. Whether it is a youth memory or an attitude towards life, it plays an important role in Pansy Ho's life journey.
Now, she has wealth, status, and fame.
The only one who can walk hand in hand with her is missing.
On May 26, 2020, gambling king Stanley Ho drove west, and she deliberately chose an old photo containing Chen Baiqiang's figure and put it on her father's mourning hall.
Perhaps, in her heart, only his place has been left.
Time flies, but the original intention has not changed. He Chaoqiong used her life to interpret the true meaning of this sentence.
Her story is not only a business legend, but also a moving hymn to life.
Life is like a play, with ups and downs.
The story of He Chaoqiong is not only a legend of a woman, but also a microcosm of an era.
From a young girl to a strong woman in the business world, from a vigorous first love to a family responsibility, Pansy Ho used her life to interpret what real success is.
Perhaps, success does not lie in how much you have, but in the baptism of the years, always maintain the original intention.
