A stunning beauty who is invincible and has the title of a prisoner's daughter, grew from a humble concubine beside a prince to a national image spokesperson who controls the royal financial power, helps her husband to seize power, and impresses the world, and empress dowager who "mother is in the world". Such a legendary script that exists in the novel will one day be staged in the Arab world.
The hostess is the Empress Dowager of Qatar, known as "Middle East Wu Zetian", Sheikh Moza.
Moza is the most well-known woman in the Arab world. She is the darling of Western media and a representative of the soft power of Qatar . Her beauty also gave the romantic Frenchman who had always had a high standard for beauties.
During a visit to France with her husband, cameras around the world watched, the president of Elysee Palace at the banquet Sarkozy actually ignored his diplomatic etiquette and was attracted by Moza, who was wearing a red rose-colored long clothes beside him for a long time, and was photographed by the media, which made France quite embarrassed.
knows that Sarkozy's wife is the coquettish and sexy Bruni, and it is not easy to make Sarkozy feel moved in front of the media around the world.
Mozha was already 50 years old at this time, and she could make a president of a country so lose his composure, let alone the peerless beauty he was young.
What is surprising is that Moza was born in Middle East , which has a low status in women. He not only showed up in a colorful robe on international occasions, participated in a large number of international activities in Qatar, but also held a position of real power like the chairman of the Qatar Education City. It is by no means a simple vase for Qatar.
In the US Forbes magazine selection, Princess Moza is one of the 100 most influential women in the world.
63 years ago, no Arab would have thought that an ordinary baby girl would write such a legendary life experience in the Arab world.
Marry into an enemy family and endure 18 years of revenge successfully
Qatar, a small country with a small land with a population of only a few million, is not even comparable to the area of Beijing, but it is a shining pearl of the Arab world. The per capita gdp per capita reached 85,000 US dollars ten years ago, which is more than three times that of Saudi Arabia during the same period, and more than 30,000 US dollars more than the United States.
(Qatar location)
all of this depends mainly on the amazing oil reserves in the Persian Gulf region. Since the 1960s, the large-scale oil extraction has led to a rise of this country that relies on pearl farming in history to become an oil-rich country.
However, the wealth brought by oil extraction once caused the country to fall into turmoil.
The reigning king Khalifa at that time did not want oil wealth to be shared by all the people. The extremely selfish king intended to be more intercepted within the royal family in terms of wealth distribution, which was strongly opposed by a group of people in the country, one of which was Moza's father.
These opposition parties were eventually beaten by the king in one fell swoop. Moza's father was thrown into prison and later exiled to Kuwait . It is conceivable how Moza feels about the Qatar royal family at this time.
As she grows up, Moza, who is naturally beautiful, is becoming more and more famous in the school. She takes advantage of her beauty and ushers in an opportunity to change her life fate at the age of 18.
(Hamad)
At that time, King Khalifa had a son named Hamad. He was the heir to the king. He received education in Western military schools, had outstanding military talents, and was a relatively open-minded noble in the Arab world.
By chance, he went to Mozha's school for inspection and was deeply attracted by the 18-year-old Mozha. The two with similar thoughts fell in love at first sight.
: If nothing unexpected happens, this relationship was strongly opposed by the king. Moza was born in a family of political prisoners. How could he marry the noble royal family?
Furthermore, in order to appease his allies, Hamad had a political marriage long ago and had an eldest daughter-in-law at home. How should he explain to his allies if he married Moza?
But Hamad insisted repeatedly that he must make Moza his wife, and Khalifa had to reluctantly agree.
Like those civilian girls who married into wealthy families, Moza, who was not a good wife, did not receive enough respect in the family at first. She was under pressure from her eldest wife, and the strict constraints of Islamic society forced her to keep a low profile in the royal family and restrain her own sharpness.
(Mozha)
As we all know, in a monarchical society, mothers are precious to their children. If a woman from an ordinary background wants to gain a foothold in the royal family, she cannot do without her fertility.
Moza is really good at this. She gave birth to five sons and three daughters for her husband in one breath, one of whom is the current King of Qatar Tamim.
While maintaining a high fertility rate and consolidating its position in the royal family, Moza did not forget to enrich his brain. In 1986, he successfully obtained bachelor's degree certificate from from of Qatar University, making knowledge preparations for future intervention in political affairs.
Under the influence of Moza, her husband Hamad became increasingly dissatisfied with his increasingly conservative father. There was a contradiction between father and son about the direction of how the country reformed.
(Hamad)
especially in Gulf War when the Crown Prince personally led the Qatari army to fight Iraqi in Kuwait, which made his favorable impression in Western countries continue to rise.
On the domestic side, because Khalifa relies too much on oil revenue and cannot withstand the economic crisis brought about by the decline in oil prices, people naturally become more and more disgusted with the king.
So in 1995, taking advantage of the opportunity of the old king on vacation, the 43-year-old Hamad decisively launched a coup to announce his new king with his hard work in China over the years.
A domestic cadres have fallen to the mountains and support their long-awaited new prince, and the old king becomes the commander of the bare hands.
Hamad ascended the throne with almost no blood without any effort. Moza successfully took revenge and successfully let his enemies wander abroad, and felt the feeling of being exiled.
(II) The most dazzling pearl in the Arab world. The strongest virtuous man in the Middle East helped
After her husband ascended the throne, Moza walked from behind to the front. Although he was the second wife, because of Hamad's infinite trust, she was actually the first lady of Qatar.
(Mozha)
keeps accompanying her husband to show off on the international stage, relying on his perfect figure and stunning face to gather the lights of the media on himself.
Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a queen. Mozha first invested heavily in hiring internationally renowned clothing and makeup teams (such as Gaultier, Chanel) to create the most fashionable fashion clothing for himself on different occasions.
Model-like slender figure is versatile in any clothes. Moza’s signature clothing is a solid-color long skirt and a luxurious belt, which looks particularly exquisite and luxurious.
Of course, while pursuing Western fashion, she does not forget to retain the characteristics of her own nation. The Muslim headscarf on Mozha's head may be the most attractive part of her outfit. This kind of Middle Eastern style headscarf prevents herself from suffering too much criticism in front of domestic conservatives.
Whenever I take a photo with the wife of an international politician, Mozha, who has both Western aesthetics and strong Islamic style, can always become the most dazzling star and is the "group photo killer" that many noble ladies are afraid of.
(Bruni and Moza)
Hamad showed up in various occasions in such a way that in the eyes of a considerable number of Islamic fundamentalists, he was regarded as a hen's silence.
But Hamad didn't care about these rumors at all. He and his wife intended to lead by example to open up the free atmosphere of Qatar and allow his wife to play a crucial role in the modernization reform of Qatar.
Reform first must break the shackles of thought, and making the open mind inevitably improve the education level of the people of Qatar, especially the education level of girls. The improvement of the education level of the people can also provide a steady stream of talents to Qatar's top technology industry.
For this purpose, Hamad appointed his wife as Chairman of the Qatar Education City and Vice-Chairman of the Supreme Council of Education, and he also served as a member of the United Nations Leading Committee on Education Leading Activities.
(Qatar Education City)
Qatar itself has weak education and does not have a world-renowned university that can be shown off, so Moza and her husband planned to build a Qatar Education City covering an area of 14 square kilometers.
is a diverse education city covering Georgetown University , Cornell University , Northwestern University and other world-renowned universities have settled in Asia and set up branch schools, covering kindergartens and universities.
Qatari local students who receive education here can accept the same standard degrees as the university's location and can get the opportunity to study and exchange in Europe and the United States.
Moza spent a huge amount of money to build a powerful team of software and hardware teachers and luxurious hardware facilities, turning this education city into a top-ranked higher education collection area in the Middle East.
These foreign schools that have settled in are not just simple decorations. The technical team brought by them have benefited a lot from Qatar's oil refining, production and compound utilization capabilities, greatly consolidating and strengthening Qatar's advantageous position in oil and natural gas .

Oil as a non-renewable energy will one day be dug up, or the national economy will be affected by fluctuations in international oil prices. This is a fact that has been proven in the king.
Therefore, Hamad and Moza have a clear understanding of the issue of Qatar not relying too much on oil. try to broaden Qatar's economic development channels, avoid taking oil capital, focus on developing cultural industries, and use culture to export their own values has become Qatar's policy direction.
The cultural field, including education city, museum, art exhibition, has become the focus of Mozha's management with a special hobby for fashion art.
It is worth mentioning that the Doha Islamic Art Museum, which was built astronomically and digitally under Moza's insistence.
(Museum of Islamic Art)
The designer of this museum won the Pritzker Architecture Award and the world-renowned Chinese architect I.M. Pei . The entire building has both classic Islamic elements and modern cutting-edge design styles.
The museum has accumulated countless rare treasures in the Islamic world for thousands of years, such as the fountain installation of the Andalusian Royal Palace 1,000 years ago, the ceramic ancient art relics in Iraq, and precious jewelry made of jade in the Mughal Empire... · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

In more than 20 years, Qatar has grown from an unknown small country to a must-pass place for tourism in the Middle East, and the proportion of the output value of the tourism industry has increased from almost zero to 3% of gdp in 2013. This figure is already very rare in Middle Eastern countries with oil as the pillar.
Especially with the east wind of this year's World Cup, the number of tourists in Qatar has soared by 500%. In the future, Qatar has targeted more than 5 million tourists each year.
In addition, as the butler of the royal family’s money bag, Moza’s vision is very comparable, the collection of artworks she hunted and real estate investment in prime locations in European and American countries.
A large number of five-star hotels, top football teams, office buildings, high-end luxury brands, and pearl industries have been included in the asset list under the name of the Qatar royal family. These unique investments have made the royal wealth no longer rely solely on oil.
(Moza and his wife and the Queen of England)
When Moza's son Tamim succeeded to the throne, Qatar royal family had a net worth of US$2.4 billion, which is more than 5 times that of Queen of England who just died not long ago.
Conclusion
After Hamad abdicated, Moza continued to be active in Qatar politics to provide advice and work hard for his young son. Under the careful governance of this family, Qatar is like a paradise in the turbulent Arab world.
(Doha, the capital of Qatar)
According to statistics from the "2018 Global Wealth Report ", Qatar's Gini coefficient ranks last among all Arab countries.
This means that Qatar is the place with the smallest gap between the rich and the poor in the region and the fairest distribution of social wealth. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Arab Spring that swept through many countries in the Middle East did not affect this small Persian Gulf country at all.
(Mozha)
Therefore, although it has been criticized and questioned by some extreme conservatives, Princess Mozha and her family have always been as stable as Mount Tai in Qatar, and she herself is deeply loved by the people.
