"I have never been a Cinderella . I only do what I want to do and not be burdened by the so-called image" . In November 1995, when Wen Yali married a Danish prince 5 years younger and was called the "Asian version of Cinderella" by the media, she responded.
Wen Yali's life is a legend and cannot be copied.
Although she was born in a civilian state, she was extremely excellent and proficient in five languages: Chinese, English, French, Japanese and German. She has been to Austria , Japan, and the United Kingdom and other studies. After graduation, she successfully joined Citibank and joined GT Management (Asia) Co., Ltd. three years later. In just 4 years, she was promoted to vice president and a strong woman.
When she married the prince at the age of 31, she became the first Asian civilian princess in European history. After 10 years, the prince cheated on her and she decided to divorce. "Marriage is not indispensable, so once the marriage loses its own beauty because of the other party's problems. No matter how prominent the other party's identity is, to me, he is just an ordinary person who has made mistakes. "
So what if the fairy tale is broken? When she was 42 years old, Wen Yali remarried a photographer who was 15 years younger than her. She separated again 8 years later. She used her life to prove "A man is the icing on the cake in my life, not 'essential'"!
fairy tale
"I have loved to try different things since I was a child. Are you tired? I would rather be tired than do nothing." elegant self-control destined her to be extraordinary throughout her life.
In 1964, Wen Yali was born in a commoner family in Hong Kong, China. Her father is a mixed-race Chinese and British child, and her mother is a Frenchman of Polish and Austrian descent. There are three sisters in the family, and she is the eldest sister.
At that time, Hong Kong was extremely lacking in natural resources, and her elegant childhood life was very difficult. "When I was a child, Hong Kong was short of water, so I could only wash clothes and diapers every four days" .
However, even if the living conditions are difficult, parents attach great importance to their children's education. They would rather save money than ensure that their children receive the most basic education.
, and Wen Yi has lived up to expectations. She has achieved excellent results since childhood. In 1983, she also won a scholarship and went to Vienna to study international trade. Since then, she has gone to Japan and the United Kingdom to study. Since then, she has been proficient in the languages of English, French, Japanese and German. She is truly "a woman who combines beauty and wisdom."
After graduation, Wen Yali worked as a securities broker at Citibank, and later switched to GT Management Co., Ltd. to be in charge of sales and marketing. At the age of 30, she had become the company's vice president.
The turning point of fate begins again. In 1994, the second prince of Denmark, Akim, came to Hong Kong for official business. At a cocktail party, he and Wen Yali met.
"As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world." In the eyes of the prince, elegance and beauty have both the unique elegance of oriental women and the confidence and vitality of the West. The prince instantly sinks for her and cannot extricate himself.
So the prince started a crazy pursuit of Wen Yali, picking her up and down to get off work on time and on time every day. Sometimes he also came to visit Wen Yali's parents. When he was free, he helped Wen Yali take care of her beloved dog. The two of them took a walk together, and the two naturally fell in love.
In fact, Wen Yali didn't know Akim's identity as a prince at that time, and thought he was just a businessman.
Happy times are always short. Five months later, the prince revealed his identity and decided to formally propose to Wen Yali.
Ko Wen Yali is 5 years older than the prince, and has no noble bloodline and prominent family background. Naturally, the royal family strongly opposed their marriage.
But the prince repeatedly criticized Queen Margaret and said confidently: " I will not marry Wen Yali in this life. I will not look at other women!"
Highlights could not resist her son's sexual restraint, and Wen Yali's elegant temperament and profound talent also made her admire her, so she half-superated and agreed to the marriage on the spot.
On November 18, 1995, their wedding was held as scheduled in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. Under the witness of more than 40,000 local people and the European royal family, Wen Yali became the first Chinese civilian princess in European history.
A common woman marrying a prince is clearly a story that only appears in fairy tales. So the media called Wen Yali "Cinderella", but she never thought she was Cinderella, and she did not feel inferior because of this.
Before marriage, she made an agreement with Prince Joachim, "If one day our marriage occurs, an irreversible crisis, we will break up. Instead of having a bed and a different dream, it is better to break up with one knife and let each have the right to start a new life." is willing to give up the prince's general property voluntarily.
How could I think of becoming a master!
Not to be a princess
"It was only then that I knew the meaning of a princess. I did not marry a person, but a whole Denmark country. I have to take my own responsibility for the country."
It turns out that on the wedding day, Queen Margaret said seriously to Wen Yali: "From today on, you are a Danish." And the title of Princess is not only an honor, but also a responsibility and obligation behind it.
At that time, Wen Yali secretly made up her mind: "As a princess, I can't let the people down, absolutely not."
Wen Yali lives up to her love and has amazing adaptability. According to Reuters News, she mastered Danish in just a few hundred hours and was able to handle various interviews skillfully.
She changed the cold style of the Danish royal family in the past, and won the recognition of the local people with a friendly image. She also actively participated in the local public welfare undertakings. She served as the custodian of 21 public welfare organizations including the Danish Red Cross Youth League, the Danish Visually Impaired Association, the Animal Foundation, and the United Nations Children's Fund. She became a model and textbook for all European princesses to actively follow.
Queen Margaret is very satisfied with Wen Yali. She even said in public that she hopes her eldest son will learn from her younger brother's vision of choosing a wife.
can gradually develop a rift with the prince when the elegant and beautiful family is perfectly integrated into Danish royal family and the people.
Perhaps there is no pressure to inherit the throne. Whenever Wen Yali is busy with diplomacy, charity and other public activities, the prince is singing with other women every night.
He often goes to parties and is photographed having sex with other women on their backs to go to nightclubs to drink, and never get home at night. There are even rumors that he has a fixed sexual partner and more than one, which is nicknamed the "Party of Party" by the media.
As a wife, Wen Yali was in great pain for a while. She once persuaded the young prince, hoping that he would take some more time to govern the country and deal with foreign relations. However, the prince was young and liked to play, so he simply regarded Wen Yali's good words as a warning.
After repeated persuasion failed, Wen Yali decided to divorce and give up all royal privileges and noble status.
The Danish royal family felt that they owe her and still retained her title of princess. The Danish people also stood on her side, but a royal marriage that countless people envied was over, which was inevitable that it was a pity.
Everyone couldn't help but express sympathy for Wen Yali's experience, but she used her behavior to show the world that she didn't need anyone's mercy. "Not all fairy tales must be happy, but it doesn't matter, life continues!"
Wen Yali was 40 years old at this time. Although she resumed her single life, she was still actively participating in social activities. In 2008, an explosive news shocked the world. Wen Yali met true love again and married Martin, the royal photographer of the Danish royal family, who was 15 years apart from her.
At the wedding, the Danish royal family expressed their blessings to her through social media, and the ex-husband, the prince and two children also prepared gifts for her.
After remarrying, Wen Yali lived a very happy life. Although Martin was just a stepfather, he treated Wen Yali's two sons as his own and was often photographed picking up and dropping off two little princes from school.
After working, the couple often go out with two children and a family of four. The whole family is having fun and a happy smile is filled with their faces.
However, 8 years later, the marriage of the two came to an end. When asked about the reason for divorce, Wen Yali gave a very tough reason. "We have different values and we no longer talk to each other when we are together. I think this is not the life and love I pursue. I would rather be single."
When dealing with love and marriage, Wen Yali is very open-minded. If you are suitable, you will go your separate ways. No matter whether it is money, power, or even ideas, it cannot stop her from living as her own queen.
"Whether you get married or divorce, it is all your own life, and the rudder of the ship in your own life must be in your own hands. You can make your own decisions without asking for other people's opinions."
ending
Now, Wen Yali is 51 years old. While she is actively engaged in charity, she also starts to go into business.
, Wen Yali was interviewed in the public again. Compared to those issues of marrying into the royal family, she is more willing to talk about how to control her own destiny.
"I define myself with three words: curiosity, world citizen, mother. Curiosity makes me open up in my heart, which is wisdom and courage; world citizen is the positioning of myself, not restraining myself with nationality; mother is my responsibility and the source of strength."
Her story continues. She is still confident, still believe in love, still responsible, and passionate about charity... She lives as her own queen.
As Yang Lan said: "The best woman is not bright and charming, nor elegant, but a kind of calmness after experiencing the ups and downs of life, a kind of tranquility after reading the world, don't be afraid of sadness, because all the pain will make you better. The scar in your heart is the pointing point for women to know how to be their own better."
