According to historical records, Huang's home is as big as a palace, covering an area of more than 200 mu, which is equivalent to the size of 18 standard football fields. There are hundreds of servants at home, and Huang's meals are flown in from Australia by special plane every day. In this environment, Huang Huilan was born.
Huang Huilan's mother is from Shandong, and she is a famous local beauty in Java, China. At the age of 15, she married Huang, a wealthy businessman, and they gave birth to two daughters, Huang He. As there was no son, Huang began to take concubines and look for his son to inherit the family business. But his love for Huang Huilan has not diminished at all.
At the age of 3, Mr. and Mrs. Huang gave their daughter a gold necklace with diamonds. The diamond on the necklace weighs 80 carats. Huang Huilan lived a life of spending money like water since he was a child. She didn't study in the school system. She found a full-time teacher at home to teach her to study. She is proficient in music, dance and art, and also knows six languages. She is called "the most beautiful pearl in the Far East".
By chance, Huang Huilan met Gu Weijun, a famous diplomat at that time. Gu Weijun, handsome and steady, made Huang Huilan shine at the moment, and Huang Huilan, beautiful and talented, made Gu Weijun fall in love at first sight. In this way, the two fell in love. Gu Weijun took Huang Huilan in a car with a diplomatic license provided by a foreign government, and they sat in a special box to watch musicals, which made Huang Huilan feel very proud, an honor that his father could not buy with any money.
1920 10, two lovers held an unprecedented grand wedding in Brussels embassy. The young couple are very happy and sweet after marriage. As a diplomat, as Mrs. Gu, there are naturally many opportunities to meet foreign envoys. Well-informed Huang Huilan got along very well in the diplomatic circle, attending a palace dance at Buckingham Palace and attending President Truman's succession ceremony, which made her very excited.
The embassy in Portland Square, where Gu Weijun is located, is very old. Huang Huilan felt humiliated by China people, so she redecorated the embassy with her own money. On weekdays, she is also very keen on doing public welfare. After returning home, Gu Weijun bought Chen Yuanyuan's former residence in Beijing Lion Hutong for two people. Huang Huilan's father sent his daughter a lot of money. Huang Huilan gave the money to Gu Weijun and asked him when he would spend it himself.
There is no doubt that Huang Huilan loves Gu Weijun very much, but the gap between them is also very obvious. Because of the different living environment, the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger. Gu Weijun's self-esteem as a man was hurt. He thinks that his wife's light has completely obscured him, which is unacceptable to him. He asked Huang Huilan to wear only the jewelry and clothes he bought for her, and refused the limousine that Huang Huilan's parents ordered for them.
Huang Huilan didn't agree with her husband. She believes that women are independent individuals and should not be attached to men as accessories. The difference in their ideas aggravated the estrangement. In addition, Huang Huilan happened to find that Gu Weijun seemed to have other ideas, so in 1956, Huang Huilan, 55, filed for divorce with Gu Weijun, 68. Although Huang Huilan proposed divorce, it revealed the meaning of divorce everywhere.
After the divorce, Huang Huilan came to the United States alone, while Gu Weijun married Yan Youyun. Huang Huilan's father's business in Java was occupied by the Japanese army because of the war, and the local economy began to slump. In order to support herself, Huang Huilan gave speeches everywhere and told everyone around her. In her later years, Huang Huilan lived in seclusion in Manhattan, relying on the interest of her father's legacy before his death.
In her later years, she wrote an autobiography "All good things must come to an end", which mentioned her lifelong feud with Gu Weijun, but she never complained about Gu Weijun. He is a respectable man, she wrote. China needs him very much, but he is not the husband I need. 1993 100 February, 100 Huang Huilan ended her brilliant and legendary life.
