Li Wanhua used to be the king of gambling. How did she know him?

Stanley Ho, the gambling king of Macau, died at the age of 98. His death marked the disappearance of another legend.

When the gambling king was alive, his news kept coming. For example, his wife or children made another news about fighting for property. For example, He Dahao's daughters, He and He Chaoxian, went to court because of family funds, and fighting for property is very common in the gambling king's house. After all, the gambling king has four wives, and competition is reasonable.

But I can't believe it's really rare this time. Two daughters born in a big house will go to court because of their property, and Mr. He's big house is his favorite. She married Mr. He when he was a poor boy. She is a real good girl, and Mr. Stanley Ho is a poor boy, so Mr. Stanley Ho is on top.

Mr. Stanley Ho became the king of gambling, his family was not rich, and his big house was respected. However, Mr. Stanley Ho has married several wives in succession, and the big house can be said to be bleak at dusk. Mr. He's big room is called Li Wanhua!

The poor boy pursued his daughter, Mr. Stanley Ho, and was born in a famous He Qidong family. His great-grandfather was He Dong, the richest man in Hong Kong. Ho, the father of Stanley Ho, was the first China native in Hong Kong's colonial history. In other words, Mr. Stanley Ho grew up with superior family conditions, but he went bankrupt in the Shiguang stock market crash and fled to Vietnam. His good days are over.

After graduating from the Faculty of Science of the University of Hong Kong, Mr. Stanley Ho 194 1 came to Macau with HK$ 10 and just entered Macau. Mr. Stanley Ho worked in Macau Lianchang Trading Company, and it was here that he met Li Wanhua. Mr. Ho met Li Wanhua's brother-in-law because of his working relationship, and then met Li Wanhua by chance.

Li Wanhua is now known as "the first beauty in Macau Street". She comes from a prominent Portuguese family, and her ancestors used to be high officials in Portugal. My father is a lawyer and the only notary in Macao. He owns many properties in Macao and Portugal.

Moreover, Li Wanhua's temperament was similar to that of the popular actress ingrid bergman at that time, and countless people pursued her. Compared with Li Wanhua, Stanley Ho is a standard poor boy. But Mr He vowed to marry Li Wanhua!

Since Li Wanhua can't compare with other suitors in money, there are only other ways, that is tenderness and romance!

He Chaoxian said, "In pursuit of my mother, my father specialized in Portuguese. Every day after his mother's school, he rides his bike to the landscape garden where her mother lives, and then invites her to tea after work. "

Perhaps unlike other self-seeking constantly chauffeured men, Li Wanhua was conquered by 2 1 year-old Stanley Ho, and she married him.

Marry a good wife. After Mr. Ho got married, Li Wanhua helped him start his business in Macau. Perhaps without his wife's help, Stanley Ho might have succeeded, but it would not be so easy. Jinghong Sun, the nephew of the gambling king, said:

"Gambling king from Li Wanhua. At that time, the gambling king's father-in-law was a notary in the government. When he saw that Stanley Ho liked it very much, he asked him to be a secretary, which established a lot of popularity for his future inheritance. "

With the support of the Li family, Mr. Stanley Ho earned the first sum of 1 10,000 yuan in the first year after marriage, which was the beginning of his career and Mr. Stanley Ho began to take off.

In 1960s, the Portuguese government legalized the gambling industry in Macau, and in 196 1, it cooperated with Fok Ying-tung, Han Ye and Teddy yip to bid for the Macau casino, which was a great success. Franchise of "Dove Ticket" and "Ticket Shop" in Macau. Especially on New Year's Day of the following year, his new garden casino opened, from which he began his all-round way in the gambling world, but his original wife's situation was not very good.

Bad luck, Li Wanhua's misfortune.

Li Wanhua suffered from colitis in 1957, but he looked for famous doctors everywhere, but he could not be cured. In addition, he had to remove his stomach and take medicine for a long time. He had to eat liquid food, and his weight dropped from 1 15 kg to 70 kg. Very unfortunate.

At first, Mr. He was able to accompany her carefully, but after a long time, he might get bored. Finally, he hired a private nurse to take care of Li Wanhua. Finally, the nurse became Mr. He's second wife. Her name was Lan Qiongying. When Li Wanhua learned that her husband was going to marry a second wife, she was in great pain.

Mr. He himself said:

"I can't be a monk all my life. Besides, I had a big family at that time, I was very busy with work and had many kinds of entertainment. I need a woman to do housework and always accompany me. "

It is very painful for Li Wanhua to lose her husband, but her misfortune has just begun. 1973, Li Wanhua suffered a car accident, suffered severe brain damage and was in a coma for a whole month, which made his health worse. Daughter He Chaoxian said:

"When my mother woke up, she lost most of her memories. She didn't know how to eat for a long time, and it was difficult to move."

For Li Wanhua, it is quite painful to lose her husband's love, mobility and most of her memories. However, God is not kind to such a woman.

198 1 In June, Li Wanhua's eldest son, He You, had dinner with his wife in his father's apartment in Lisbon, and died in a car accident on his way home. Stanley Ho lost his beloved son, but he became a walking corpse, and his eldest daughter, He, was also crazy because of this. Soon, Mr. He passed away.

In 2004, Li Wanhua died at the age of 80. Perhaps he has enjoyed wealth all his life, but the scenery at dusk is bleak. After his death, his husband, Stanley Ho, personally went to Macau to choose a cemetery, and made an obituary in the name of "Wife Li He Wan Hua" in memory of his wife.

In the obituary, Mr. Stanley Ho called Li and Wan Huawei "loving his wife", and there were no names of two Lanqiong Ying, three Chen Wanzhen and four Liang Anqi in the family ranking to show respect for his original wife.

Maybe this is the last thing he can do for his original wife. This also shows that Li Wanhua, the original wife, is always the most important, and his favorite is in his heart. After all, without the help of his original wife, he wouldn't be so smooth.

Li Wanhua's life can be said to be rich, and her family conditions are also superior. After she married her husband, his career was booming, but she was very lonely. Not to mention her poor health, her son is dead, her daughter is crazy, and her husband has three wives and four concubines. This is really sad for an old man!
