Who is Hong Huang?
Granddaughter of the famous educator and politician Zhang Shizhao?
Chairman Mao's English teacher and the daughter of diplomat Zhang Hanzhi?
The ex-wife of the famous director Chen Kaige?
Yes, yes, these are all the labels on Hong Huang's body, of course, she has more than these labels.
This woman who came from a famous family, but was called a "famous woman", her life, as she herself said: "I have lived half my life on tearing labels."
It wasn't until I was in my sixties that it suddenly became clear that the labels attached to my body were just testimonies of my own life, not so important.
"Shaking" the hong huang for most of his life, "shaking" out the life he wanted.

As soon as Hong Huang was born, he stood at the top of the pyramid.
There are three generations in her family, each generation is left in the annals of history, and each generation can be written into a book.
Grandfather Zhang Shizhao, a famous literati, a good friend of Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi.
He helped Chairman Mao in the revolution and participated in cross-strait reunification talks.
After the founding of New China, he served as a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and the director of the Central Research Museum of
Mother Zhang Hanzhi, a famous diplomat of the first generation of China and chairman Mao's English teacher.
Known as "China's last celebrity".
His biological father, Hong Yanjun, is a professor at the Department of Economics at Peking University.
Stepfather Qiao Guanhua, China's first foreign minister.
The resume of Hong Huang's family, any one of them is the role of a top cow.
Hong Huang was born in Beijing Shijia Hutong No. 51 with such an aura.
Shijia Hutong is a famous hutong in Beijing, with the reputation of "one hutong, half China".
It is one of the earliest hutongs in old Beijing and has not changed its name since its birth for a thousand years.
Countless celebrities and dignitaries have lived in this alley.
For example, Courtyard No. 24 is the residence of Ling Shuhua, a talented woman of the Republic of China, Courtyard No. 11 is the office of Deng Yingchao, Courtyard No. 8 is the former residence of Huang Jing, then mayor of Tianjin, and Fan Jin, then his wife of Beijing Deputy Market, and Courtyard 32 is the former residence of General Fu Zuoyi, Minister of Water Resources in the early liberation period...
In 1920, Zhang Shizhao gathered Shanghai celebrities to raise 20,000 silver dollars to help Chairman Mao use it for the Hunan revolutionary movement.
After the founding of New China, Zhang Shizhao went to Beijing to join Chairman Mao and was arranged to enter No. 51 Shijia Hutong.
This one lived, lived for three generations.
In 1961, Hong Huang was born in this compound.
It just so happened that when the country was poor and the people were in difficulty, Chairman Mao sent Zhang Shizhao 2,000 yuan every year in the name of "repaying money and returning profits" to relieve his difficulties, and sent it for ten consecutive years.
Hong Huang's childhood was worry-free, but because her parents were busy with work, she was accompanied by her grandmother most of the time.
A long time later, Hong Huang recalled: when I was a child, my favorite thing was to sit on a rattan chair in the courtyard corridor and watch the rain with my grandmother.

Many people will wonder why Hong Huang, who was born in a famous family, does not have a bit of a showy demeanor, but instead grows into a savage girl?
Maybe it's more due to personality.
Although she was born into a famous family, her parents and elders did not have special constraints on her.
Her grandfather had subtly influenced her, and every time he went to Hong Kong on business, he would bring back art books or books in foreign languages.
These did develop Hong Huang's artistic cells, but they did not change her stubborn character.
When I was a child, Hong Huang set off firecrackers with his friends.
Mischievous, she put all the firecrackers into a basin, and who knows how to blow the basin apart.
When my mother returned home, she found that this pot was left over from the Qing Dynasty.
She just scrapped an antique.
In Hong Huang's view, she was never a well-behaved child.
In the second grade of elementary school, her parents transferred her to the Foreign Language Annex and boarded at the school.
From a pampered child to a managed life, Hong Huang was difficult to adapt to at first.
Not only can the academic performance not keep up, but it is always in the bottom of the line, and even eating must be punished by the teacher.
The more times she was punished, the more she became oily, and she simply broke the jar and broke it.
At that time, she hated her parents, why did she send her to such a school to suffer.
Of course, there are pros and cons to everything.
It is precisely because of the tempering from childhood that 12-year-old Hong Huang can adapt to life abroad.
In 1973, the state sent a group of primary school students to study in New York, and Hong Huang and four other classmates embarked on the road to leave their hometown.
Before that, her parents took her to the circus to watch juggling.
The experience was also unforgettable for Hong, where her parents told her that the two were divorced.
So that in the years to come, as long as you think of the circus Hong Huang, you will feel like crying.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">3</h1>
Hong Huang, who first arrived in the United States, stayed at the home of a local resident.
Under the fence, she often helps her owner to do what she can, including shoveling feces for cats, dogs and dogs.
Even so, the divorce of her parents still gave Hong Huang a great influence, she became rebellious, and even questioned her father, why not consider her feelings?
Father said: If you only think that my divorce hurts you, this matter will always affect you, you should go your own way, why always think about your parents.
It was precisely because of this sentence that her little heart changed: Yes, I should have my own life.
So she let go of her old restraints and followed the example of her American classmates, wearing tight jeans and a bandeau.
After returning from studying abroad after 4 years, she continued to study at Beiwai High School.
On the eve of the college entrance examination, she escaped from the battle, and with her fluent spoken language, she went directly to the Central Radio and Television Station to become an English announcer.
The young Hong Huang is not stuck in the ordinary way.
Two years later, she worked hard to get into Vaasa University.
The university produced the wives of Roosevelt and Kennedy, two Presidents of the United States.
The school's students are characterized by a "hippie" culture that celebrates nature.
It was here that Hong Huang liberated his nature and became acquainted with her first husband, Andrew.
In 1983, Hong Huang, a junior in college, received news that her stepfather Qiao Guanhua was critically ill, and she decided to return to China to visit immediately.
However, she was worried that she would not be able to continue her studies after returning to China, so she resolutely got a marriage license with her American boyfriend Andrew and got a US green card.
Hastily marrying without the full understanding of both parties is doomed from the start.
Sure enough, the marriage didn't last long before it ended abruptly.
In 1985, a German company where Hong Huang worked arranged for her to take charge of the China business, and after years of wandering, she finally embarked on the road back to China.
Just after returning to Beijing, I was asked by a friend to go to the movies.
The "Yellow Land" screened on the screen deeply touched her heart.
The director of this drama is Chen Kaige.
Hong Huang, who originally had unusual feelings for art, especially wanted to meet this director at the moment.
So, on the recommendation of her friends, she met Chen Kaige for the first time.
At this time, Chen Kaige was 32 years old, and the talent revealed by Mei Yujian became more and more charming.
Hong Huang fell deep into it.
Of course, Chen Kaige was also curious about the woman in front of him, she was different from other women he knew.
Ming ming was born famous, but there is no slightest delicacy on the body, but a big grin, a bold personality, a typical Beijing lady.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">4</h1>
Years of foreign lifestyle, so that Hong Huang is more open than domestic women, the two get along easily and naturally.
At that time, Chen Kaige was still a small director without fame, and Hong Huang, when the average monthly income of Chinese was less than one hundred, her annual salary was as high as 7,000 US dollars.
Soon, the two were living together.
In 1988, Hong Huang was transferred by the company to the New York branch, and the following year, she and Chen Kaige married in the United States.
After marriage, because of the working relationship, the two people are often in different places, and at this time, Hong Huang found that he cared so much about this man.
Hearing that he was very popular with actresses in the crew, Hong Huang was mad, and she had to keep abreast of her husband's dynamics at all times: what he was doing, who he was with...
After maintaining this state for a while, Hong Huang suddenly woke up: growing up so big, he has never been jealous of anyone, and now he is like this, is he still his true self?
On that side, Chen Kaige's lace news continued, and on this side, Hong Huang filed for divorce.
In 1991, the two-year marriage ended.
Not long after the divorce, Chen Kaige lived with Ni Ping.
Hong Huang also turned around and married Peng Sai, a cultural officer at the French consulate in Shanghai.
In 1993, Chen Kaige became popular with "Farewell to the Overlord".
People are not red, hong huang was pulled out.
Since then, she has been labeled chen Kaige's ex-wife.
Hong Huang's attitude towards feelings can be said to be very Buddhist, and at the same time she is very self-aware, she believes that in feelings, she should be with people who make her comfortable.
If two people are not happy together and have a very screwed up life, then simply separate. You first have to know who you are? What do you want?
Referring to her marriage to Chen Kaige, she said:
"It was a big misunderstanding. Our personality is simply intolerable, love is love, in fact, it is very good to be a lover, and we accidentally become a husband and wife. ”
Hong Huang has experienced 4 marriages in her life, and her last husband is an interior designer, and she is also the most ordinary of her several husbands.
And the other party divorced and lived with his daughter.
In this regard, Hong Huang said:
I was very happy and comfortable with him, we were very good together, even the children were together.
Not only that, but she also got along very well with her stepdaughter and had a very good relationship.
Later, Hong Huang adopted a little girl in the orphanage, and in her words, I wasn't enough to be a mother!
Today, the daughter has already grown up to be a big girl.
The relationship between mother and daughter is more like friends, and the family of four gets along very harmoniously.
Hong Huang is not only very sober emotionally, but also in his career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">5</h1>
In 1996, at the age of 35, Hong Huang quit his job abroad and returned to China to develop.
At that time, everyone regretted that she gave up her 180,000-year salary job, after all, in that era, few people in China could earn 180,000 US dollars a year.
But Hong Huang said:
When I'm old, I wish I could tell my grandchildren that I've done something that I'm proud of, rather than pursuing a millionaire in my life. In fact, everyone is interested in money, but I am more interested in the means of making money.
There was a popular saying in that era: if you want to make anyone bankrupt, let him cast a movie, if you want to make anyone have a bad life, let him run a magazine, and if you want to make anyone poor, let him open a gallery.
Coincidentally, as soon as Hong Huang returned to China, he started a magazine under the influence of his friends.
At the end of the 1990s, Hong Huang founded three magazines: iLOOK World City, Youth Family and Brand World Music.
She wrote her own writing, and her writing was known for being "mean".
Dare to say and dare to write.
Hong Huang has a new label on his body: a man with no mouth.
But she has always insisted: when doing public writing, you must not compromise, and what is the point of saying black to white?
Over the years, Hong Huang and her husband built a house in the countryside 50 kilometers away from the city and lived a life of paradise.
In her lifetime, she has worked as an executive in a foreign company, a media person, a magazine as a CEO, a clothing brand, a novel, a movie...
It's amazing.
Talking about his own life, Hong Huang said: "Life is not a bondage, it is a handle. Always being brought up, I don't shy away from it, but it's a bit boring."
Sounds like, isn't it a bit Versailles.
Her understanding of the ideal life is also different:
If you have reached the ideal life, then you have no ideal, it is very tragic.
As the saying goes, life in the world, you need to always maintain an empty cup mentality, there will always be something new worth pursuing.
