1893 was born in Indonesia and is the daughter of Huang, the richest Chinese. At that time, Indonesia was under Dutch colonial rule. Grandfather Huang Zhixin worked as a coolie in the port first, and then as a peddler in the street. He became rich by diligence, wisdom and thrift. His father, Huang, inherited his ancestral business and made great achievements, becoming the richest overseas Chinese in Java. Huang Huilan's biological mother, Wei Mingniang, whose ancestral home is Shandong, is the first beauty in Java, China. 15 years old, married to Huang. Jiao Mingniang was so ashamed that she only gave birth to two daughters for her husband: Guan Lan and Hui Lan. Since Huang married a concubine, Wei Mingniang became more and more estranged from her and fell in love with Buddhism. Later, I took it to London and left Huang forever.
1On October 2nd, Huang Huilan got married in Brussels. This is a photo of Huang Huilan in her second year of marriage.
Huang Huilan is well-dressed, and her home is equipped with a Chinese-style European kitchen. The manager of the European kitchen used to be the chef of the Dutch governor. When she was having dinner with her parents, a housekeeper and six servants waited on her. Tableware is made of silver.
Her mother regards her as the apple of her eye. When Huang Huilan was 3 years old, the diamonds on the gold necklace she received weighed 80 carats. Huang didn't ask about her daughter's education, but Wei Mingniang asked others to teach music, dance and art besides English teachers. She pinned all her hopes on this golden leaf.
Parents' doting makes Huang Huilan a rich woman who reaches for clothes, eats with her mouth open and spends money like water. She has no systematic education, but she is born smart. As a teenager, she lived in London, Paris, Washington or new york. She is familiar with the western lifestyle, speaks six languages, including French, English and Dutch, and has rich natural communication skills.
Huang Huilan's sister Huang Conglan invited the China delegation to visit her home in Paris. When she saw Chen's photo on the piano of her host's house, she appreciated it very much and expressed her willingness to make friends. Cong Lan quickly wrote a letter to her mother, bridging the gap. Gu Weijun is not an idle person. With his charm, Huang Huilan feels that he always cares about himself everywhere. Halfway through the party, Huang Huilan was a little drunk. At the right time, they slipped to a road called "Love Road" for a walk. Speaking of going to Fontainebleau for an outing the next day, Gu Weijun immediately said to her in French, which is more fluent than English, "I'll pick you up tomorrow and take my car."
It's a car with a diplomatic license provided by the French government, with a full-time driver. Huang Huilan's psychology has never been satisfied. Later, after listening to the opera, they enjoyed the State Box. Huang Huilan secretly believes that no amount of money can buy this kind of glory and privilege from his father.
Gu Weijun stepped up her pursuit, hoping that Huang Huilan could get married immediately and return to Washington with him. He said that a fair wedding would be held at the Embassy of China in Brussels. The wedding was very grand and gorgeous. Many diplomatic envoys came to entertain. That is 1920,101October 2.
After Huang Huilan married Gu Weijun, she became a lady. She got a lot of money from her loving father. According to her husband's dignitaries, she is like a duck to water and is active in international diplomatic dignitaries. "She leads an exciting life."
Gu Weijun's position has been promoted, and her communication with Huang Huilan has become more extensive. She was lucky enough to attend Buckingham Palace's first court ball after the war, shake hands with the British ambassador and king, attend the inauguration ceremony of the president, and have social activities almost every day.
Huang Huilan has the hardware and software of a diplomat's wife: she is familiar with European customs and languages, and her French and even Gu Weijun are impressive. She is willing to work hard, active in international politics, dealing with princes and earl, and winning applause with her youth and wealth. She realized that foreign countries largely decided their views on China according to Gu Weijun and her performances, so she positioned herself as a "window to China". Her home, the salon owner's home, are accessories of the window. She spent a lot of money to repair the China Embassy in Paris. Try to make the "window" more exquisite, so that foreigners can see the moon and stars in China.
While others were praising Gu Weijun's diplomatic achievements, Song Meiling turned his attention to Huang Huilan. She said: "Don't forget the important role played by the ambassador's wife!" Diplomat Yuan said: "To tell the truth, among the wives of China's ambassadors abroad, such as Lin, she is the best among the wives of Ambassador China."
At that time, the embassy was short of funds, and Huang Huilan paid for many diplomatic entertainment expenses in Gu Weijun. Huang Huilan, the shabby embassy in Portland Square, felt humiliated by China people and renovated it at his own expense. When Gu Weijun returned to work in China, she spent $200,000 to buy the former residence of Lion Hutong as a mansion. When my father sent me a lot of money, she gave it to Gu Weijun, asked him for it, and then asked him for it. Huang Huilan was enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings and took an active part in wartime rescue work in London.
On the stage of ballroom dancing for more than 30 years, she spent money like water, winning glory for her country and herself. A foreign friend wrote a poem, calling her "the most beautiful pearl in the Far East". However, the bejeweled Gu Weijun doesn't think so. He asked his wife to "wear nothing but the ornaments I bought for you". He wants his wife to cancel the car ordered by her mother for them and stick to the old car used by the former minister. Huang Huilan thinks it natural to enjoy her father's money. Besides, Huang Huilan has her own opinion. She thinks it necessary to put on airs in diplomatic occasions. "This helps them understand that China cannot be ignored, and we are not from a backward country as they think. We come from a country that has the right to be respected. " Therefore, she has spent a lot of money to win glory for her country and herself on the ballroom dancing stage for more than 30 years. A foreign friend wrote a poem, calling her "the most beautiful pearl in the Far East".
With the passage of the sun and the moon, the gap between Gu Weijun and Huang Huilan is deepening. Gu Weijun also gradually has another genus in the center of the earth. Huang Huilan thinks that what he did to the opposite sex humiliated her and made her angry. The fate of 36 years has finally come to an end. After Gu Weijun divorced Huang Huilan, she married Yang Guang, the late Consul General in Manila. Yan Youyun, his widow. In his later years, Huang Huilan wrote "All things must end", recalling his life and his hatred with Gu Weijun. But peace of mind, resentment, no evil words. So generous that she doesn't even mention the name of the lovely woman with a knife.
It is said that Huang Huilan lives in seclusion in Manhattan, new york, and lives on the interest of $500,000 left by her father. 1993 65438+ died in February. It can be said that flowers are blooming and falling, clouds are rolling and clouds are comfortable, and tears are streaming down her face.
