According to Hong Kong media reports on the 15th, Anita Mui's 100-year-old mother Qin Meijin was sued for arrears of legal fees, and the Secretary for Justice filed for bankruptcy of Anita Mui's mother. It is reported that Anita Mui left 4 wills after her death in 2003, and Mui's mother can receive 70,000 living expenses per month, and the remaining property will be donated after her death. The court took into account the gradual increase in the cost of living for Mama Mei, from the initial 70,000 to the current 250,000 Hong Kong dollars (about 230,000 yuan) per month. It is reported that Mei's mother has complained about the lack of living expenses for many years, and has appealed many times for the inheritance, but all of them have been rejected for her permission to appeal.
The case will be heard on 17 December. The Secretary for Justice's petition did not mention the reason why Tam was petitioned for bankruptcy, and the Department of Justice also said that it was not in a position to respond and would need to disclose the details when the court session was held.
Dissatisfied with the donation of the inheritance
He has lost many lawsuits
According to Hong Kong media reports, Anita Mui's mother has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Mei Qiming is 72 years old, the eldest daughter Mei Aifang died of cancer in 2000, Anita Mui also died of cancer in 2003, and Anita Mui's second brother Mei Deming also died of throat cancer in 2015.
Before her death, Anita Mui made a will and set up a trust fund to donate the property to her friend Liu Peiji and her niece and nephew, and the rest of the money was used to support Mui's mother. If Mama Mei passes away, the remaining inheritance will be automatically donated to the Buddhist Society.
But Mei's mother thought that her daughter had been deceived, and she had repeatedly sued to overturn the trust fund, hoping to withdraw her daughter's estate at one time. The mother and son finally turned their faces over the money, and two years ago, Mei's mother announced that she and her son Mei Qiming had broken away from the mother-son relationship.
According to Hong Kong media reports, Mui's mother appealed many times but could not get back all of Anita Mui's estate from the trust company, and in 2009, on the grounds of living a miserable life, she asked for 800,000 Hong Kong dollars from the estate to travel around the world. In 2017, Mama Mei requested that a total of 71 million yuan of living expenses for 15 years be paid in a lump sum, but unfortunately Mama Mei's repeated applications were immediately rejected by the judge, and only adjusted the monthly living expenses. The amount received by Mama Mei every year will automatically increase by 3.5% per year in response to inflation. In 2019, Mei's mother wanted to make up for her 91st birthday, and then applied to the court to receive relevant fees from the estate, and asked for an increase in the New Year's "Peri is", and finally successfully applied for 250,000 yuan. In February of the previous year, when Mei Qiming counterattacked Mei's mother to sever the mother-son relationship, he revealed that Mei's mother's living expenses had been increased to 250,000 yuan per month, and he was only supported by Mei's mother 20,000 yuan per month.
Not only that, she has also applied for withdrawal of money from Anita Mui's estate many times, and successfully obtained 250,000 Hong Kong dollars to hold a 95th birthday banquet in 2019.
It is worth mentioning that according to Red Star News, in March last year, when 70-year-old Mui Qiming was working in a restaurant in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground with his left foot while steaming rice in the kitchen, and he claimed that he was unconscious at the time. In September last year, Mei Qiming appealed to the local court, demanding that the restaurant pay the wages owed due to work-related injuries from March to September last year. In July this year, because Mui Qiming could not prove that he was injured at work, the court rejected and dismissed his claim and ordered Mui Qiming to pay the restaurant 47,000 Hong Kong dollars (about 43,000 yuan) in legal costs.
Twenty-one years later
Why do people still miss Anita Mui?
After 21 years, people still remember Anita Mui, not only her, but people always have inexplicable nostalgia for Hong Kong female stars in the eighties and nineties of the last century. Everyone is sure of the answer in their hearts.
In the opinion of Jiang Zhiqiang, the producer of "Anita Mui" and the president of Anle Film Co., Ltd., because Sister Mei is righteous. He wrote: "It is rumored that Sister Mei is righteous, but it is an instinctive kindness to do her best for a small company that meets in Pingshui. I believe that in addition to her acting talent, what can be passed on to the world is her infectious chivalrous attitude and spirit. Over the decades, the mutual assistance and perseverance in the market, the new stars who took over the baton one by one on the stage, and the team that helped students and disaster relief all had traces of her influence. She often thanked countless people for their kindness and love for her, but she did not know that her life had already given back to this generation and even beyond, and her spirit would continue to be passed on in the land where she planted the cause of good. ”
In addition, the concert before parting also amazed everyone.
"Don't cry, don't call me by name." This is the last sentence that Anita Mui left to the world before she passed away. On December 30, 2003, Anita Mui died in Hong Kong at the age of 40 due to lung failure caused by cervical cancer.
A month ago, Anita Mui, who was seriously ill, held her last concert at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong. Before singing the last song "Sunset Song", she asked tens of thousands of fans in the audience:
"Do I look good in a wedding dress? I am a singer and an actor. This is not the first time I have worn this wedding dress, but none of them are my own. This is probably the regret of my life. But your love has filled this regret. I married myself to music, to you. ”
For those who are not familiar with Anita Mui, the first thing that is easy to see is her versatile style. That is the symbol of the times of Hong Kong pop culture, and on the stage, she can be elegant, sexy, noble, and regurgitated. This also set a genre standard for many star concerts since then: gorgeous and changeable stage shapes.
Anita Mui once sang in "Gratitude": "It's me in terms of image, but compared to that face, only my nature remains the same." ”
