Revealing the truth that Teresa Teng was forced to break off her marriage: I don’t want to be looked down upon.
People’s Daily Online, August 24 According to Taiwan Province Zhongshi Electronic News, Teresa Teng had a rough life. At the end of 1982, Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng, a wealthy businessman, broke off their engagement, which caused public outcry and various speculations. This was the third time that the singer passed by marriage in her life. How did Teresa Teng walk into the marriage hall hand in hand with Guo Kongcheng, and how did he choose to break up? Guo Kongcheng is six years older than Teresa Teng, and fell in love through the introduction of his friend He Lili. In 1981, Teresa Teng held an engagement party in Xianggong Restaurant on the ground floor of Guo Kongcheng’s Shangri-La Hotel, which featured the splendor of the Song Dynasty.
On that day, there were 3 tables, attended by about 30 people, including mothers, Hong Kong Polaroid agents and fans. Teresa Teng in a yellow dress looks very happy. There is a commemorative matchbox specially made by fans in the restaurant on the plate. On the surface of the box, the words "Teresa Teng" and "Hongkong" are printed with gold lettering on the red background, and the Shangri-La Hotel is also printed with black lettering. Although I didn’t say "I decided to get married" in detail, almost everyone met this Guo Kongcheng for the first time at this banquet.
After the engagement, the two exchanged tokens, and Teresa Teng put on an engagement ring. When meeting a good friend, she will hold out her left hand, show the ring on her ring finger and tell her happily, "I’m engaged." He Jiangxi recalled: "It was her sweetest and happiest day, and she took this relationship very seriously."
I got engaged because Guo Kongcheng’s mother found out that she had cancer. She wanted to see her son get married, and she liked Teresa Teng very much, so she hoped that Teresa Teng could marry the Guo family. Guo Kongcheng’s father was the boss of Shangri-La Group. At that time, Teresa Teng was already quite popular in the mainland. Having Teresa Teng as his daughter-in-law should be more helpful to the Guo family’s career, so he also hoped that his son would marry Teresa Teng. The reason why the relationship between the two people changed was related to a meeting between Teresa Teng and Guo’s grandparents at his home in Guo Kongcheng, Singapore, before they got married.
Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng were scheduled to hold a wedding reception at Shangri-La Hotel on March 17th, 1982. At that time, the Hong Kong media reported that she had even printed the wedding invitations and prepared the wedding dress.
Before getting married, Guo Kongcheng took Teresa Teng back to his home in Singapore to meet his elders. As a famous singer, Teresa Teng was surrounded by Guo’s servants as soon as he entered the door, excitedly asking for his autograph. The Guo family is a very conservative Chinese family, and Guo Kongcheng’s grandmother has a conservative concept. Seeing that Teresa Teng has just entered the house has robbed the limelight, he is very unhappy.
When Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng talked about the details of the wedding, Guo’s grandmother put forward three conditions to Teresa Teng: First, Teresa Teng was asked to provide detailed personal information; The second is to stop all singing and performing arts and concentrate on being a wife; Third, cut off contacts with the entertainment industry and draw a clear line with all male friends? ? .
When Teresa Teng listened to Guo Kongcheng’s request, she cried while touching the engagement ring. However, she can understand the strict family rules of the Guo family and is convinced that Guo Kongcheng will solve the difficulties, so she put forward the condition that "all other requirements can be agreed, but at least let me record and make a record".
However, a few days later, Teresa Teng received Guo Kongcheng’s reply that "your offer was not accepted". To this answer, Teresa Teng was silent. After repeated consideration, finally, Teresa Teng resolutely broke off her marriage and parted ways with her beloved Guo Kongcheng.
Most people outside believe that the relationship between Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng fell apart because of the opposition of the Guo family. However, He Jiangxi said that this is not the case. "In those days, after she broke up with Guo Gongzi, she had a hard time. During that time, I visited her at her residence in Singapore. I asked her why she broke up, and she told me,’ There is no problem with my boyfriend, but there is a problem with my parents.’ Because she is a female artist who sings on stage, that kind of family does not accept artists to marry in. I still remember her telling me,’ It’s actually ok to get married, but I don’t want to get married, I don’t want to be forced, I don’t want to be looked down upon.’ "
Teresa Teng’s younger brother, Deng Changxi, also revealed in an interview with the media that in fact, Teresa Teng had decided to quit the entertainment industry. Later, she felt that if she took this as a condition for marrying into the Guo family, it would be a sense of humiliation, so it ended in discord. After Teresa Teng’s engagement, the owner of Japanese record company, Zhou Muren, visited Teresa Teng in Hongkong.
After dinner, from about 8 pm to 12 pm, they talked in the lobby of Peninsula Hotel. Teresa Teng wants to refuse to renew the contract with Japanese Polaroid Records on the grounds that: "I want to get married, live a happy life, and don’t want to be bound by work. Please set me free!" Later, Tomaki said, "You have a lot of fans in Japan, and your existence is very important." To convince her, but Teresa Teng is very determined. It can be seen that she had planned to give up all performance activities and concentrate on being a housewife.
After this relationship ended, Teresa Teng and Guo Kongcheng returned the keepsakes to each other, and she was depressed for a period of time, which was solved by singing and making friends constantly.
He Jiangxi recalled the meeting in Singapore, and Teresa Teng’s words also revealed that he was deeply hurt by this relationship. "When Teresa Teng first came to live in Singapore, she told me,’ My health is not good and I have asthma, so I chose Singapore to rest. Because Singapore is a garden city, I am very happy here.’ But after breaking up with Guo Gongzi, she told me,’ Singapore is only suitable for the elderly and the sick, and young people are not suitable for coming to Singapore.’ The inconsistent statement is because her views changed when she was lovelorn. She didn’t think Singapore was bad, but simply expressed her misstep on the road of love, which brought her great trauma. However, there will be gains if there is a loss. Since then, she has devoted herself to her work, and her singing career has reached its peak. She has started to hold concerts in various places, and her career is very busy, but it has made her forget emotional things. "When it comes to this failure, will it make Teresa Teng lose confidence in love? He Jiangxi replied affirmatively:" No! She told me,’ No matter how many setbacks I have experienced in love, I will continue to pursue it. Love is very important to me.’ "
Take stock of six bumpy love histories
In Teresa Teng’s short 42-year-old life, there are six or seven boyfriends. Lin Zhenfa, the first lover, died of a heart attack during her relationship, and had a brief spark with movie stars Qin Xianglin and Jackie Chan. Japanese artist Mori Shinichi is also on the list, but when he came to Taiwan recently, he denied it. Teresa Teng admitted two feelings, one was Guo Kongcheng, a Malaysian rich second generation she met at the age of 28, and the other was Paul, a French photographer, who was her last emotional support before her death. > > > Next page
