From Wealthy Tycoon to Old Age Dementia: A Phenomenon Seen Through a Lifetime – The Role of a Wife
Humanity's myriad aspects, in this prosperous world, people desperately pursue love, which has long been replaced by the mundane concerns of rice, oil, and salt under peaceful coexistence. It seems that for most people, it's more appropriate or even necessary to prioritize stability and contentment over passionate love. Unless there's mutual admiration, even a spark ignited at first glance during a mutual glance is enough to send people into the marriage hall.
A grain of sand in the times, falling on people's shoulders, becomes a mountain. The high cost required to pursue love makes many people willing to live a plain life.
For wealthy people, this doesn't seem like a difficult thing. They possess power and wealth, and it seems they are the ones who should be pursuing genuine love if possible. However, throughout history, the love and hate stories of wealthy people have repeatedly staged on people's faces, like a comedy show, allowing everyone to see their extravagant appearance and empty souls.
A good relationship can lead people to truly successful places; an erroneous entanglement can immediately send people into the eighteen levels of hell.
For Hong Kong tycoon Qiu Degeng, his marriage was such.Determined ambition,
In 1942, Qiu Degeng was born in Shanghai, in a normal family. Although his family was not wealthy, it was still a comfortable life. His father worked hard as a small businessman, and perhaps because of his father's profession, Qiu Degeng inherited some business acumen.
However, Qiu Degeng's father soon due to his own business failure, leading to the family's decline. So, young Qiu Degeng was forced to drop out of school and come to work as a sweeper in a movie theater.
When he first arrived, he didn't know anything and was clumsy, often making mistakes and was scolded by many leaders. Seeing that he was young, his colleagues sympathized with him and secretly helped him, reminding him of some important work matters. This greatly helped Qiu Degeng. With the help of his colleagues and his own diligent efforts, Qiu Degeng's work performance improved rapidly, and he was appreciated by his superiors, and he was promoted step by step, and eventually he used his own savings to buy a movie theater, solving his food and clothing problems.
Although the movie theater was bought, Qiu Degeng only had experience working in a movie theater, not operating experience. At first, he was in constant losses, and he was worried every day. He couldn't bear it, so he went to ask for advice from a movie businessman who was doing business. The businessman just asked him one question:
What do you want to do seriously?
Qiu Degeng firmly replied: 'I want!'
Just this simple question opened Qiu Degeng's eyes—As long as you're passionate, there's nothing you can't do. So he worked harder to study the operating model of the movie theater, and finally earned his first fortune.
At the same time as Qiu Degeng's movie theater business became more and more prosperous, his love life also ushered in a major change. At a wine party, Qiu Degeng met his wife, Qiu Jinqiu.”
Qiu Jinqiu was born into a wealthy family, well-educated and knowledgeable, and Qiu Degeng admired her very much. And Qiu Degeng's ambition also made Qiu Jinqiu think that his future was unlimited. The two were in love and agreed to marry and start a family.After marriage, Qiu Jinqiu used all her dowry to support her husband's development. Qiu Degeng was very grateful, and their lives were very happy until a bad thing happened—Qiu Jinqiu's father was a former Japanese collaborator and was persecuted and confiscated his property.
In order to avoid persecution, the couple fled to Hong Kong.
Two wives, of vastly different backgrounds
For Qiu Degeng, Qiu Jinqiu was the most important person in his life. Without Qiu Jinqiu, he might still be a homeless person wandering the streets of Hong Kong.
After Qiu Degeng came to Hong Kong, he started his movie theater business, believing that he had previous experience in this field, which was basically a sure thing.

However, when he first entered Hong Kong, he thought everything was too simple. The Hong Kong situation was constantly changing. Yesterday's valuable industry could be worthless tomorrow. Therefore, Qiu Degeng encountered many setbacks in the early days of his business.
Seeing his husband's depressed state, Qiu Jinqiu was also worried. Fortunately, she had a strong business sense and was even more keen on business than her husband. So she often read business newspapers and judged the situation based on the news, and guided Qiu Degeng to invest accordingly. Every time Qiu Degeng could make a fortune, and Qiu Degeng quickly became a wealthy man.
Even though they could share hardships, they couldn't live happily ever after. Not long after, this powerful helper died suddenly, and Qiu Degeng was heartbroken. At this time, Qiu Jinlan appeared.
Qiu Jinlan was Qiu Jinqiu's younger sister, and the two looked very similar.
After her sister's death, Qiu Jinlan coveted Qiu Degeng's wealth and approached him step by step.
Qiu Degeng didn't want to mourn his deceased wife, and when he saw such similar people, he couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Soon after, the two married.
After marriage, the two's lives seemed harmonious, but in fact they were mutually beneficial people, that is, mutually dependent.
Fortunately, everything was still calm on the surface, but in 1979, Qiu Degeng failed to obtain the distribution rights during the distribution, and he suffered the biggest blow in his life.
Qiu Degeng had eight children, and Qiu Jinlan gave birth to three, while Qiu Jinqiu gave birth to four. During the distribution, due to unfairness, both sides were dissatisfied and disputed. Qiu Degeng had to adjust the distribution, but disputes were always difficult to resolve. Besides, Qiu Jinqiu had passed away, and her mother was still alive, so she naturally favored her own children.The two children clashed and quarreled, and Qiu Degeng and his wife quarreled constantly. In the end, they lost their patience and broke up.

Qiu Degeng's heart was heartbroken, and Qiu Jinlan immediately took advantage of this opportunity to seize his fortune. In the end, this former wealthy tycoon died alone without anyone caring about him. It is said that a successful man has a supportive woman behind him, and Qiu Jinqiu is that woman; and a failed man must have a failed woman behind him, and this woman is Qiu Jinlan.
Even though he could share hardships, he couldn't live happily ever after. Finally, this powerful helper died suddenly, and Qiu Degeng was heartbroken. At this time, Qiu Jinlan appeared.
