Who is the restaurant tycoon who married two peerless beauties and had four children at the age of 80？

Original Su Yibai, Miss S Lan and Miss Huang are included in the topic # Celebrity/Vanity Fair 56. The other day, the news about the old artist Liu Shikun becoming a father at the age of 81 was heated, and it was once searched.

▲ The Hong Kong media used the word "breaking the gambling king’s 78-year-old female record" with great loss. In fact, Sun Ying, as Liu Shikun’s third wife, is 45 years old this year, and Sun Ying declined to comment on whether the child is a surrogate.

But what we are going to talk about today is not the pianist, but another successful man who has a strong heart and has a son in his old age. He is 80 years old and has too many labels on his body. He is the celebrity queen, artist, collector, restaurant tycoon and "Muse" ex-husband. He is the founder of MR CHOW restaurant, Zhou Yinghua.

▲ The hairstyle and beard of the logo, as well as the Cutler And Gross full-round handmade black-rimmed glasses that have been followed for decades, are all personal characteristics of Zhou Yinghua.

▲ At the age of 80 in 19 years, he got married for the fourth time, married a wife who was only 30 years old, and gave birth to his youngest son Phoenix. This is the Halloween costume of the 81-year-old and his son who just turned one.

Before, we talked about Jiang Sunyun, a famous family lady who brought authentic Chinese food to the United States, and also talked about her son’s current chain restaurant, P.F. Chang Chinese Restaurant.

Similarly, Zhou Yinghua, as a catering magnate, was born in a noble family.

Father Zhou Xinfang is a generation of Peking Opera masters who started the Qiqi School, and mother is the third young lady of Qiu Tianbao Silver House, which is famous in Shili Foreign Exchange. His elder sister Zhou Caiqin was the first Chinese "bond girl", and his younger sister Zhou Caici was a famous "Tsuga" in Hong Kong entertainment circle. The first wife was grace coddington, the former creative director of American Vogue, and the second wife was Zhou Tianna, the muse in the hearts of countless artists. His daughter, known as "China’s daughter", is keanu reeves’s ex-girlfriend.

The story about their family can be told for three days and nights.

Today, let’s talk about this legendary family and their ups and downs.

Father Zhou Xinfang, whose stage name is Kirin Tong, is the founder of the old Qiqi School of Peking Opera.

▲ Thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose, even if you get old later (pictured right), you are full of heroic spirit.

Zhou lived in Cicheng, Ningbo, and was a famous local family, but his father, Zhou Weitang, was despised by his people because he was addicted to singing, and then he was expelled from family ancestral temple. Later, she married Xu Guixian of Tsing Yi, who was in the same troupe, and gave birth to Zhou Xinfang.

▲ 一直到周信芳成为了一代名伶，捐出巨款，父子才被宗族重新接纳。

当时在京剧界，有着“北有梅兰芳，南有麒麟童”的美名。

▲ 这正是两位的合照，图左周信芳，图右梅兰芳。

▲ 1949年的开国大典上，他们和当时的文化部长一起在天安门城楼上观礼，足以证明地位之高。

周大师的精湛艺术水平和独到表演风格影响着一代又一代的人。

▲ 比如郭德纲就对麒派艺术痴迷，更奉周大师为偶像，他自己也已经正式拜师入室麒门，而儿子郭麒麟的名字来由也出自于此。

关于周信芳，除了他在艺术上独一无二的造诣外，被广泛谈论的还有他和太太裘丽琳的爱情故事。富家千金和戏子邂逅，为爱私奔，这样的桥段多少年后听起来仍旧深感荡气回肠，而这般义无反顾的个性更是在骨子里深深地影响着周家的每一位后人。

裘丽琳的父亲裘仰山拥有着谦和茶庄与致和钱庄两个产业，家财万贯，而母亲玛丽·罗丝有着一半的苏格兰血统。

▲ 作为四分之一混血的裘丽琳出落得标致水灵，尤其是那精致的小翘鼻，叫人一见倾心。她自小就读于上海法国天主教教会学校，讲着一口流利的英文。原名叫裘宏祯的她后因为英文名Lillian的关系，改名为丽琳。

Miss rich, dressed in fancy clothes, often goes to the most fashionable social gatherings in Shanghai, and Qiu Lilin is a well-deserved socialite.

And Zhou Xinfang, like most people at that time, married his wife and gave birth to a son step by step. At the age of 17, he married his original wife Liu Fengjiao and had a son and two daughters.

A well-loved rich girl since childhood, a "player" with a dull personality and low social status, seems to be two parallel lines intertwined at a certain point in time, doomed to a desperate trip.

One night in 1928, Qiu Lilin escaped from the house locked by her mother and ran to her love.

After the event, Qiu Jiafa announced that she wanted to leave the relationship, and Qiu Lilin was not to be outdone to find a lawyer to make a statement in the newspaper.

▲ This passage was dictated by their youngest daughter, Zhou Caici, in which Qiu Jianfei was Qiu Lilin’s brother. Because he was described as a "rogue villain who destroyed love", he also attracted the dissatisfaction of the descendants of Qiu’s family and felt that the image of his ancestors had been vilified.

It must be said that this love was full of cruel betrayal in the eyes of the original wife and children, and it was deviant in the mouth of the world at that time, but now it has become a romanticism praised by all, largely due to the fact that Qiu Lilin’s children are very competitive and prominent, and they preach their parents’ loyal love everywhere. Even the old Shanghai writer Shu Ting wrote a book for their story, Love Song for Life and Death.

In order to facilitate everyone’s memory, I specially made a family map:

▲ Today, this article focuses on the tycoon and his family. In the next episode, we will talk about the tycoon and his four wives and children (watermarking, drawing by Miss Lan and Miss Huang).

In fact, it was not until Qiu Lilin had given birth to her third child, Zhou Caiqin, that Zhou Xinfang divorced his first wife and formally married her, and the Qiu family finally forgave her.

After that, the two gave birth to three children one after another.

▲ The youngest daughter, Zhou Caici, was not born when this family photo was taken.

Although Qiu Lilin and Zhou Xinfang got married properly, the follow-up test continues.

Zhou Xinfang has a mother who loves gambling and doesn’t know how to earn her due income at the same time. Therefore, under the management system of Bao Yin system, even though he has struggled alone, he has little money.

▲ Zhou Caici, the youngest daughter, said in an interview later that her mother said that there were only various pawn tickets in her father’s pocket.

Qiu Lilin, who grew up in a business family, is very business-minded, and manages everything for her husband. She also took the lead in introducing the form of "73 account splitting" to ensure her husband’s vested interests. Later, they rented a theater by themselves, with Zhou Xinfang in charge of singing and Qiu Lilin in charge of finance, which was called "iron abacus".

▲ Zhou Caiqin, the third daughter, said that her mother even wore a small pistol when she accompanied her father to the north and south, which was really brave and determined.

After liberation, because of Zhou Xinfang’s lofty status, the whole family lived a very superior and affluent life.

▲ In the hearts of children, father is a superstar and the most admired idol.

▲ They live in this garden house located at No.788 Changle Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, with an area of more than 700 square meters. There are two cars at home, one for Zhou Shaolin, the eldest son, and the other for the driver. There are also two chefs, one for Chinese food and the other for western food.

It is not difficult to find out from the interviews of the descendants of the Zhou family that Zhou Xinfang was taciturn most of the time, unlike most men of that era. In family life, he was the shopkeeper of cutting most of the time, and his mother was solely responsible for everything, including sending the children out of the country one by one without prior notice.

▲ In Zhou Caiqin’s mouth, the father described the mother sending the children away one after another as a "kitten".

It is hard for outsiders to say whether this is keen intuition or foresight for a rainy day. In short, except for Zhou Shaolin, the eldest son, who stayed to inherit his father’s Peking Opera mantle, Zhou’s children are scattered all over the world.

▲ This is the last photo of my family with my father in the 1950s.

At that time, the eldest daughter Caizao had already gone to the United States first, and soon the second daughter Caiyun went to Hong Kong, the third daughter Caiqin and the second son Yinghua went to London, and the youngest daughter Caizi was finally sent to Hong Kong to take refuge in the second sister.

Many years later, they got together again and took this photo:

But times have changed, and everyone’s fate has been turned upside down.

Big sister picking algae has always been the lowest-key one in the family.

There is little information in the public media, except that she lived in Maryland after studying in the United States. She is both a teacher and a housewife, and she is as inarticulate as her father.

▲ When my mother went to London to visit Qin Cai and Yinghua in the 1960s, the elder sister Cai Zao and the second sister Cai Yun also flew across the ocean. The child in the front row is Qin Cai, behind her is algae Cai, and on the far right is Cai Yun.

The second daughter, Cai Yun, looks the most like her mother, and her temperament is fresh. Leng Yan was a stunning beauty in those days.

▲ This photo with her father is not difficult to see that she is worthy of the name as the school flower of St. John’s University.

Sister Zhou Caiqin once described her in The Daughter of Shanghai:

My sister swam proudly past her admirers like a swan, as if unaware of the despair and misery caused by her around her.

Because of her love of literature, she also gave herself a pen name Zhouyi, but she still failed to realize her dream of being a writer after going around.

After going to Hong Kong, Cai Yun worked as a ground worker in an airline to support herself and took care of her little sister, Cai Ci, who came to take refuge. It was not until Xiaomei later went to Macau that she also married an accountant and went across the ocean to the United States to start a business.

▲ Miss Huang wrote this story in her early column "She Comes from the Sea". The most beautiful businesswoman in San Francisco went back to her hometown over 80 years old to fight with a group of relatives for the ancestral home mentioned above. The relatives here refer to the daughter and son-in-law of her younger brother Zhou Shaolin, who are really gods.

Speaking of Zhou Shaolin, his real name was Zhou Ju ‘ao, and later changed to Shao Lin, who also inherited his father’s good name "Kirin Tong".

▲ Zhou Xinfang actually didn’t intend to let his son learn opera, but hoped that he would study hard, but he couldn’t hold Zhou Shaolin’s strong interest in Peking Opera. At the age of 20, he didn’t drop out of school until he was married, and even separated for two years to practice.

In terms of appearance, Zhou Shaolin must be handsome, and his younger sister Zhou Caici described him as "Fan Liuyuan in Zhang Ailing’s works, even Chow Yun Fat has to compete".

▲ This is a photo of Zhou Shaolin, his wife Huang Minzhen, and his two daughters Zhou Yilin, Zhou Chang and grandparents.

▲ Zhou Shaolin, who experienced political turmoil and was rehabilitated, immigrated to the United States in the 1980 s, but still wanted to carry forward his father’s Qipai art. Therefore, with the support of his younger brother Zhou Yinghua, he once boarded the stage of Lincoln Center to perform traditional Peking Opera, and he was still thinking about teaching and inheriting culture. (This passage is written by his daughter Zhou Yilin)

▲ This is "Chasing Han Xin", which he performed as a cantata when he returned to China in 1985. At that time, he was over 50 years old and still heroic.

▲ In 2001, at the age of 67, he returned to his hometown of Shanghai to collect disciples and write books, and taught them orally until he died of heart failure in 2010.

As for the youngest daughter, Zhou Caici, the famous "Tsu Gu" in Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Miss Huang once wrote an interview with her in The Best Woman:

On this day, I met the long-admired Miss Zhou Jiasi in the lobby corridor of Waldorf Astoria Hotel rebuilt by Shanghai General Association. When she walked slowly through the lobby with her hands behind her back, she looked like a ten-queen patrol. When she stood, she walked in a majestic gait, and when she sat, her eyes shone brightly.

When Zhou Caici was born, her father was in his early fifties. As a 7-year-old younger brother Yinghua, she was naturally loved since childhood.

▲ Wearing a princess dress image, my mother will help with my homework, and my father will personally send her to school. Zhou Caici proudly said that she was the only child in the family who had enjoyed the honor of being sent to school by her father.

However, after her mother cruelly sent her to Hong Kong in 1959, these proud pasts seemed to have become memories. I have to work to earn money under the fence, and there is nowhere to resolve my yearning for home. She once ran back halfway and was cruelly urged to leave by her parents. After that, it was farewell.

▲ Many years later, every time she mentioned her parents, she could not help but burst into tears.

▲ She was also the only child in the whole family who came back to attend her father’s memorial service.

Perhaps she loves freedom as she pleases. In the late 1960s, she went to Europe alone and happened to meet her brother Zhou Yinghua who came to Rome for a holiday in a restaurant where she worked. After 14 years’ separation, the brother and sister met again. The elder brother didn’t know his grown-up sister at all, but the encounter finally made Zetz no longer a wandering duckweed. She followed her brother to London and stayed for ten years.

At the end of 1970s, she returned to Hong Kong and started her white-collar career. She entered a TV station in Lili. The most glorious achievement was Leslie Cheung, who just started her career as a packer. Later, she became a press officer of the government information department and worked with Yi Shu to do propaganda.

▲ In the 1980s, she also wrote essays in Extra Magazine under the pseudonym "Pigeon with White Eyes", with sharp words. Pigeon with White Eyes means snob in Cantonese.

As for the love story, Zhou Caici is also a standard Zhou family, who is desperate for love.

There was little information about her first marriage, except that she had a daughter named Lin Chuqi, who entered the music scene after winning the third place in the rookie singing contest held by wireless.

▲ Lin Chuqi was born in 1964, so when she was born in Zhou Caici, she was only 18 years old, so she should have started to go to Hongkong and Macau.

▲ Lin Chuqi’s most famous title is "the widow" of Ka Kui Wong, and when he came back many years later, he said that he would "comb up and not marry" for Jiaju.

▲ However, this statement clearly angered Huang’s family. My younger brother Huang Jiaqiang bluntly said that she was sorry for Ka-kui in the past. After the two broke up, Ka-kui had other girlfriends, accusing her of speculating on the deceased with ulterior motives.

There are quite a few reports about Zhou Caici’s second marriage. The sister-in-law relationship, which is ten years apart, and whether to get married immediately or naked after ten days of love all seem to convey to the world her obsession of loving as a mother.

▲ Husband Huang Yihao (pictured right) is a member of the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre. The two became attached to the stage play and gave birth to two children, daughter Huang Yongzhen and son Huang Jingxuan.

▲ Although it is a flash marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is good, and it has been accompanied by old age.

▲ Zhou Caici has her own unique dressing style. She is overweight, so most of her clothes are made to order. In her own words, "I can’t see the brand of everything I use". In order to confirm this, she also took off her shoes in an interview to let Miss Huang see the golden H with a big sole, and said, "It is very low-key anyway."

In 2003, after wandering for half a lifetime, she chose to return to Shanghai to settle down, living not far from her ancestral home, as if she had been with her parents all the time when she was a child. In 2012, she introduced May Ball and wanted to create a high-level social circle belonging to China.

▲ She can see the iconic bobo head and stand on the side of the stage in a cloak to guide the carefully selected celebrities.

Unfortunately, with her sudden death in 2016, this dream of recreating the old high-end social life also went with her.

▲ According to the article Farewell Vivian published by her friend Deng Xiaoyu in September, 16, she left because of complications caused by minor surgery, which was very sudden and chic.

After talking about these four children, let’s focus on the third daughter Zhou Caiqin and the second son Zhou Yinghua.

Why put these two together? Because their lives in the first few decades were intertwined, with the support of their families and the hidden competition, so that the scene became out of control at the end.

50s and 60s

In 1951, 16-year-old Zhou Caiqin took his younger brother Zhou Yinghua, who was three years younger, from Shanghai to Hongkong and then to England. She attended the Royal Academy of Drama and became the first China student there, while her younger brother was sent to a public boarding school. For Zhou Caiqin, life just left her parents is chaotic, and she has to take care of her younger brother like a half-mother.

She is gorgeous and moving, and everywhere she goes, she is fascinated. And the loneliness of wandering away from parents in a foreign land can easily lead to the mistake of being carried away by love.

Yes Like her sister Zhou Caici, she got pregnant at the age of 18 and gave birth to a baby.

▲ It is not difficult to see that the other party is handsome and handsome.

▲ So that she later said to the camera in the documentary "Daughter of Shanghai", "I liked handsome men when I was young, Never Again".

But obviously, at that time, she underestimated the various contradictions in reality, and not all marriages would be as firm as their parents.

▲ For example, the husband doesn’t intend to show his wife’s face, which is tantamount to a strong self-awareness of Qin picking.

▲ In the words of a close friend who knew her at that time, Cai Qin’s attitude towards men was full of antagonism, even if she was a lover, she had to compete. This personality also appeared in her later relationship with her younger brother Yinghua.

The first marriage soon parted ways, and the man returned to Singapore, leaving her alone in London with a starving baby.

▲ But for Qin Cai, this may be the closest moment to her son in her life.

With the increasing economic pressure and the ardent expectations of her parents in China, she had to face up to her derailed life again. First, she sent her son to a distant nursery because it was cheap, then she went back to school herself, and finally she simply sent her son back to her ex-husband.

For such a decision, sadness is definitely sad. But what should I do? Life forced her to be only 20 years old at that time. To support herself, she had to live up to her parents’ expectations and face the ubiquitous racial discrimination in foreign countries. It was difficult for a face of china to gain a foothold in the film and television circle at that time, and most of the roles she could get were full of prejudice against Chinese. She changed her external name from Irene Chow at the beginning to Tsai Chin pronounced in Chinese.

Soon, she met her second husband, Peter Leonard Coe, a drama director and a handsome guy, and they got married in 1958.

▲ How long did this marriage last? There is no clear answer, but in 1962, the man remarried, so it is speculated that the relationship between the two ended in 1961.

Compared with the dark time in the first paragraph, this marriage has finally brought infinite light.

▲ In 1959, Cai Qin was selected as the heroine of the drama "The World of Suzy Yellow" adapted from a British writer’s novel, and boarded the stage of the Prince of Wales Theatre, which made her famous for a while. And her husband, Peter, also served as the director of this drama, which is entirely due to himself in Qin Cai’s mouth.

▲ She said that she brought a wave to London at that time. Cheongsam, black hair and even makeup were all imitated, full of foreigners’ yearning for the mysterious East.

As a matter of fact, of course she is hot, but the Hollywood movie The World of Suzie Huang, which was released the next year, designated the heroine as another actress who went to the United States from Hong Kong, Nancy Kwan, and the latter also became a person who really took the role of Suzie Wong with fire in the world.

▲ Those popular fashion trends also seem to be attributed to her.

But for picking Qin, after years of struggle, it has finally become a minor celebrity, and it is more or less a bit high.

▲ Her name is on the tallest neon in London.

▲ She was surrounded by people and accepted the cheers. In fact, this subtitle is misleading. She won the best dress of the year, not the woman of the year.

However, in London at that time, even with a certain popularity, there were still only a handful of roles to choose from, either prostitutes or foreigners misinterpreted Chinese.

▲ For example, from 1965 to 1969, she acted in five Fu Manchu films, which was considered as a serious slander on Chinese’s image.

▲ In this regard, her own explanation is that she doesn’t want to pick it up either, but in order to survive.

In 1967, she became the first Chinese bond girl.

▲ Kissing sean connery in "Thunder Valley of 007" is only a honey trap implementer who seduces the hero.

She made records and performed in Cabaret (a restaurant with stage performances), and no matter how famous she was, she earned a lot of money.

If the first twenty years in London, Qin Cai finally settled down after hardships, so did his younger brother Zhou Yinghua.

After graduating from boarding school, he was admitted to the famous St. Martin. He studied art for one year and architecture for two years.

▲ After graduating from St. Martin, he painstakingly studied painting for ten years and met a large number of later masters, but he had to admit that he could not stand as expected.

At that time, Zhou Yinghua had an actor’s dream, and he made guest appearances in several movies with his sister.

▲ For example, brother and sister appeared together in Violent Playground in 1958.

▲ He also appeared in "Thunder Valley of 007", playing agent No.4 without a name.

But obviously these can’t support themselves. He used to be an apartment manager, lived in the basement and worked at night in a restaurant.

In 1965, Zhou Yinghua finally saved enough money to open a hairdressing salon, Smith and Hawes, and his unique interior decoration style attracted wide attention at that time. Later, he sold the shop to Leonard of Mayfair, a famous hair stylist.

▲ The other party is the legendary hairdresser who helped model Twiggy (Twiggy) cut out the world-famous bobo head, making her playful short hair become the object of emulation.

After selling the store, Zhou Yinghua took a large sum of money and specially invited a chef from Hongkong to cook exquisite Chinese food. On Valentine’s Day in 1968, his first MR CHOW opened.

▲ European-style environment with handsome Italian waiter, the Chinese food he wants to provide is more like a high-end improved version that has been integrated into local culture, and Chow has the meaning of "food" in English besides Zhou’s surname. This shop in Knightsbridge is still in business after half a century.

It was also from then on that the lives of the two brothers and sisters began to move towards different trajectories.

70 s

My younger brother took the money to open a shop and start a business, earning a lot of money, while my sister bought a house with it all. In fact, Qin Cai doesn’t know anything about financial management. He just wants to take advantage of the general trend to invest and increase value. As a result, the house he bought was actually mortgaged by others.

In the 1970s, the financial crisis in Britain caused her property to be worthless or even deducted. When you are over forty, you suddenly have to face nothing. At the same time, the news of mother’s death reached London. The actress who once smiled like a flower on the stage completely collapsed. Great mental pressure made her try to commit suicide and was sent to a mental hospital.

▲ She refused to weave baskets there, because if she did, she would admit that she had a problem.

Fortunately, she was not alone at that time.

▲ There are still admirers who are willing to accompany her all the time, although they are not married in the end.

In 1974, my brother Zhou Yinghua had already opened the restaurant to LA. Qin Cai also followed, giving up all his glory in London and heading for a new beginning.

But obviously, a female star who used to be above herself was doomed to be full of contradictions when she faced a rich man who was in the limelight, even if she was a brother and sister.

Cai Qin believes that the influence and achievements of his brother’s restaurant can be attributed to his reputation at that time. It is by her popularity that she brought a group of suitors to the restaurant for dinner, which made MR CHOW famous.

Although in the eyes of others, this is obviously her obsession, and even a little bit of jealousy between siblings.

Her new life in America is not happy. In her own words, she brought up her younger brother, and they lived alone and acted together. Now he has made a name for himself, but he can only work as a waiter in a restaurant and suffer severe humiliation.

▲ From many interviews, it is not difficult to find that my younger brother Yinghua is a "control freak" who is extremely pursuing perfectionism and approaching paranoia, while Cai Qin is a standard egoist. In this process, the two brothers and sisters are simply pointing fingers at each other.

Finally, one day, unbearable, she chose to leave.

▲ She said that the younger brother’s face was white at that time. This sentence "He thought he had me" somewhat exposed the embarrassment of the two brothers and sisters.

In 1976, Qin Cai went to Boston. The female star who holds the moon for a living applied for a typist, and then worked as a library front desk at Harvard University, but fortunately, the actress dream in her heart never went out, which supported her to go on little by little.

▲ Even if I can never reach my father’s height, I am still guided by a beam of light.

She began to perform in those little-known theaters.

▲ For example, play Clytemnestra in Agamemnon and play the heroine Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter. For her, those glories in London yesterday are unknown, and now every step of her life is new.

▲ I also completed my master’s degree at Tufts University.

In Zhou Yinghua in the late 1970s, business was in full swing, and the second MR CHOW in the United States was opened on 57th Street in new york.

It is said that at that time, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou took a message to him and wanted to find his sister to pick Qin back, but apparently because of their estrangement, his younger brother did not convey the matter.

After the 1980s.

In 1981, Cai Qin was finally invited back to the Central Academy of Drama to teach for half a year.

▲ When she mentioned the picture invited back by Cao Yu, her excitement was beyond words. It must be that people lose everything in middle age, and such affirmation is very important to her.

▲ In 1981, the Guardian specially wrote about her remodeling process, from a sexy little wildcat to a truly mature drama expert.

In 1988, she published her autobiography "Daughter of Shanghai", which aroused widespread concern and then returned to the stage of drama in London.

▲ You can take a closer look at the style of her interview at that time. She is still fashionable and fashionable in her early 50 s, and she can’t see her age at all.

In 1993, Cai Qin’s role as Aunt Lindo in The Joy Luck Club left a deep impression on people.

After that, she turned her focus to Hollywood. Although they are all unknown bit part, they seem to be full of it.

▲ In Memoirs of a Geisha, she was soaked to the skin and tied the first peach played by Gong Li with a stick from behind.

▲ In Grey’s Intern, she is Yang’s mother played by Wu Shanzhuo.

▲ She is Li’s grandmother played by Jay Chou in "Amazing Thieves 2".

▲ There is also Jia Mu in the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions, which is one of her rare domestic works. This 50-episode TV series has been filmed for a whole year, but its reputation is not as good as expected.

In her home in Los Angeles, it is a great honor for her to collect newspaper clippings from her debut to the present, and it is a symbol of the glorious past.

Don’t regret that she is not as good as yesterday. In her words, at least she has newspaper clippings, at least she was brilliant.

In fact, after watching all kinds of documentaries and interviews, I will sincerely feel the tearing feeling of the Zhou family, which is sensitive and fragile.

They have the pride of being pampered.

▲ The father who is worshipped high above is a well-organized mother, and those genes engraved in the bones are their glory.

However, because they have been away from home for a long time, the locals simply don’t know who their father is who they regard as a "superstar". Coupled with the general environment in the 1950s and 1960s, a standard face of china spoke English fluently, and only they knew the cold shoulder and hardships.

▲ Zhou Caiqin said that she was refused rent by the local landlord just because she was from Chinese.

Later, even if they have made small achievements in their respective fields, they will never catch up with their fathers, and they will never let the family repeat yesterday’s glory.

▲ There is no sadness that I can respect my parents’ bedside and say a few more words to my father.

▲ As long as the Zhou sisters talk about their parents’ past events, it is like putting a knife in their hearts.

Born in a lofty artistic family, every child is extremely self-centered and doomed to be lonely, so it is difficult for them to get along with others.

▲ Zhou Caiqin is difficult to get along with, not only with men, but also with his younger brother Yinghua and his son.

▲ In the words of onlookers, the son is like a thorn in her eye, and the relationship between the two sides is on thin ice.

They are angular, because of their experience, their extreme distrust of the outside world and their self-protection.

They use toughness as a disguise to hide their inner uneasiness. Even though they are full of desperate impulses for love, they also take their parents’ love as a model for the rest of their lives, but they often hurt themselves in the actual relationship.

Because of this toughness, the relationship between the six of them as blood relatives is also very alienated.

▲ They are scattered all over the world, have their own lives and rarely reunite.

▲ This rare photo should have been taken in 1995, when my father Zhou Xinfang’s ashes were moved to the site of Shanghai Wanguo Celebrity Cemetery.

They will be consistent with each other for conflicts of interest, and they have also embarrassed each other.

In 1983, Zhou Xinfang’s three children born by his ex-wife fought with Qiu Lilin’s six children, and the latter won the ownership of the three-story house, and the nine children were divided into calligraphy and painting relics and other furnishings. However, in 2004, the five brothers and sisters living abroad also had a fight with Zhou Shaolin over the house.

▲ The elderly Zhou Shaolin went to court with the help of his wife, and went to court with the same ancient brothers and sisters. The final verdict is that Zhou Shaolin and his wife account for 40%, and the other five brothers and sisters account for 60%. I don’t know how my parents who are alive in heaven will feel when they see this scene.

What an emotional family!

Of course, we still left one, that is, Zhou Yinghua, the protagonist of this article, whose life story is really bizarre. In his life, he married two legendary beauties, went through four marriages and had four children, as well as a prosperous career and a mansion like a private museum. We will continue his magical experience in the next issue.
