On January 28, 2022, in Chengdu, a divorce case of an 80-year-old rich man worth one billion has attracted widespread attention from reporters.
The party involved is Qiu Xianfu. His wife Tian Li is twenty years younger than him. After his wife complained about divorce four times, the court finally ruled that the relationship between the two had broken down, and Qiu Xianfu's 1 billion property would also be divided in half, and the two held 50% each.
Bumpy Startup
In 1942, Qiu Xianfu was born in a rural family in Chongzhou, Chengdu. He is the eldest in the family. As the saying goes, "Everything is inferior, only high school students." Although Qiu Xianfu's parents are native farmers, they naturally have the hope of their children becoming successful for their first son. They even have to send their children to school without distinction in their work day and night.
Qiu Xianfu followed his father's genes. He was taller than children of the same age since he was a child, and he was lively and active. He always instigated the children of his neighbors to go up the mountain to catch hares and dig sweet potatoes in the ground. Because his academic performance was barely strong in school and his physical fitness was particularly good. After graduating from Middle School, Qiu Xianfu was admitted to the local sports school.
At that time, there were not many sports events in the country. Unlike now, they were able to make a name for themselves by competition activities. Most students in sports schools were assigned to various local middle schools after graduation to serve as physical education teachers, and so was Qiu Xianfu.
Although the salary is not high, the job is a strong job and it is also easy to enjoy.
After joining the work, Qiu Xianfu's conditions were the best in the marriage and love market. The people who matched him among the villagers almost broke through the Qiu family's hurdle.
Until 1966, Qiu Xianfu met his first wife under the introduction of his colleagues. two got married and held a small wedding in the dormitory assigned by the school.
After the two got married, their wife was at ease as a housewife, while Qiu Xianfu was still in school, but soon the problem arose.
Originally, Qiu Xianfu's salary only required him to arrange food and drink alone, and he could also subsidize his parents and younger brother during the holidays. However, after getting married, although his wife arranged the family's affairs in an orderly manner, , relying solely on his salary to support all the expenses is still a bit tight.
Qiu Xianfu has been active since he was a child. He is not a willing and step-by-step person. After his wife complained that she was unable to make ends meet for two or three times, Qiu Xianfu's idea of resigning and starting a business became stronger and stronger.
Through a friend's introduction, Qiu Xianfu learned that the opportunity to go south to do business was very good, so he threw down his iron rice bowl without any nostalgia and went to Guangdong with his friends.
pie will not fall in the day. In less than two years, Qiu Xianfu made more money than all his salary combined, but bad news followed.
1973, Qiu Xianfu and his partners were deeply involved in an economic dispute case. He was imprisoned once and was sentenced to ten years in prison for .
In the autumn of 1983, in Chongzhou Prison, Chengdu, Qiu Xianfu, who was over 41 years old, was finally released from prison.
After being released from prison, his career was not only cleared, but his wife, who had been sleeping in the same bed for seven years, also chose to marry again because she could not bear the strange eyes of the people around her.

is like drinking water, you will know your own warmth and coldness. My colleagues, friends, and even some close relatives now see Qiu Xianfu like a plague god. They are either afraid that he will ask for money or simply dislike him for having a criminal record.
But Qiu Xianfu, who had gone south to do business and witnessed the grand coastal economy, did not feel that his life was hopeless.
Although he wasted ten years in prison, Qiu Xianfu did not stop studying for a moment. He studied and thought about all the books he could read and newspapers he could read word by word. After he was released from prison and returned to his hometown, his elderly parents would have the savings he had paid for in his family. This was his first pot of gold to make a fortune later.
At this time, domestic reform and opening up was in full swing. Qiu Xianfu ran to the stall in Guangzhou and wholesale hundreds of tops with novel styles and bright colors, setting up street stalls at the intersection of the old neighborhood in Chengdu.
is eloquent and does not care about small profits. Qiu Xianfu's stall is always crowded with people. The first batch of purchased goods were sold out in less than a week. The clothes that cost ten yuan can be sold for fifteen or twenty yuan.
Selling shirts in summer and sweaters in autumn and winter. In less than half a year, Qiu Xianfu saved a full 30,000 yuan, and changed to a spacious rental house to bring his parents to his side. The reason why he saves food and drink and saves money desperately is because Qiu Xianfu's ambition is not just about supporting his family.
You can’t set up a street stall for a lifetime, and according to the price at that time, a deposit of 30,000 yuan was enough to invest.
With the development of the economy, cities are changing with each passing day, and old houses for demolition and new high-rise buildings are everywhere. Qiu Xianfu has to travel to Guangzhou several times a month, and has also seen the changes in the real estate market.
Although he was jealous, Qiu Xianfu knew that his wallet was not strong enough, so he started from the building materials industry, an industry related to real estate economy precision, and started his own way to make a fortune.
987, 45-year-old Qiu Xianfu opened his first building materials company in Chengdu and transformed into "President Qiu".
No one can see that he has been in prison for ten years, and no one expects that he started his business only at the age of 41, and he has gained millions in just four years.
A successful career and outstanding performance, Qiu Xianfu's life began to rise steadily, but the only flaw was also what his father was still worried about before his death. That is, since his first wife remarried, Qiu Xianfu has been single, never remarried, and no children.
When setting up a street stall, it is understandable that you don’t get married. But now you have a good harvest of both career, fame and fortune, and it will be too late to not consider the major events of your marriage.
Although Qiu Xianfu showed no concern for his relatives and friends on the surface and let everything go with the flow, he still longed for someone around him who knows the cold and the hot, and spend the long night together.
At this time, a new employee in Qiu Xianfu's building materials company attracted his attention.
This woman is named Tian Li, and she is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She is as beautiful as a flower and a young man. Qiu Xianfu is already tall and has always maintained the habit of training. It is impossible to tell from her appearance that she is an old man in his fifties.
After the two met at work, Qiu Xianfu took the initiative to show his goodwill and kept Tian Li away from all the past he had never told to outsiders.
Although Tian Li knew that the two had different ages, experiences, and status, she was also generous. Regardless of the gossip of the people around her, she married Qiu Xianfu.
On March 14, 1998, at the Jinjiang Hotel in Chengdu, Qiu Xianfu held a grand wedding for Tian Li and invited more than 200 guests. This was a very good style at that time.
The guests who came to attend the wedding banquet looked at the old couple on the stage. naturally some people speculated behind their backs that they bet that their marriage would not last long, but the fact is that they spent more than 30 years together.
Trust breaks
Shortly after the wedding, Tian Li became pregnant, which made middle-aged Qian Xianfu happy that he didn't sleep well for three days and three nights, for fear of hindering the baby in his wife's belly.
Ten months pregnant, Tian Li gave birth to a delicate and beautiful girl. Qiu Xianfu looked at the child's black and transparent eyes, hoping to give her the best things in the world.
For the children to have a better future, Qiu Xianfu has been more attentive in his career. The company has opened one after another, and the land he bought and invested in was also one after another. Now, on the most prosperous , Chunxi Road, Chengdu, there is a whole office building that is Qiu Xianfu's assets. It took Qiu Xianfu a full twenty years to go from being worth one million to being worth hundreds of millions.
However, the assets accumulate more and more, the relationship with his wife Tian Li has also changed quietly, and the starting point of the conflict actually comes from Qiu Xianfu's most beloved daughter.
It turns out that Qiu Xianfu and his first wife were together for seven years and never had children. At that time, medical technology was underdeveloped, and some folk remedies were also used to treat infertility and , so Qiu Xianfu didn't know whether it was his ex-wife's physical problem or his own problem.
Less than two months after marrying Tian Li, the other party became pregnant. He had given birth to his first daughter, and Qiu Xianfu wanted to hold a fat boy, but Tian Li's belly was no longer moving.
As my daughter grows up, her facial features are becoming more and more delicate. Everyone says that she inherits Tian Li’s beauty, but few people say that her daughter looks like herself. Isn’t her daughter’s own?
The doubts grew bigger and bigger in Qiu Xianfu's heart. Finally, after the party was together, Qiu Xianfu, who had drunk too much, made a big fuss at Tian Li, questioning whether she had a crush on her and had found him, the sucker, as the father of the child.
Such words are a great insult to any woman. Through familiar people, Tian Li finally realized that it was not only Qiu Xianfu who thought so, but many old colleagues and customers of many companies were actually adding fuel to the fire and spreading rumors .
In order to prove your innocence, Tian Li took Qiu Xianfu and the child's hair directly to a professional medical institution for paternity test . After the identification results of
were released, seeing that his daughter was indeed his own child, the stone hanging in Qiu Xianfu finally fell to the ground, but when he looked up at the back of his wife at the corridor, he couldn't help but breathe. The gap between the couple is unlikely to be eliminated in his life.
Four appeals
The reason why Tian Li married Qiu Xianfu was not entirely for money, but it is unrealistic to say that his assets are not a plus point at all. After getting married, Tian Li became the vice president of Qiu Xianfu's company, But soon, she found that her rich husband was different from ordinary nouveau riche.
The Qiu family lives in an old community with two bedrooms and one living room. Whether her husband is worth millions or hundreds of millions of yuan, it has never changed. decades of old objects, piles of express boxes, and countless miscellaneous items are all piled in a small old house, making it hard to imagine that this is a rich home.
In the past, Qiu Xianfu was in the rising period of his career and his child was still young, so Tian Li didn't ask for anything. But until the child went abroad to study and did his own career independently, Tian Li had to look back on her married life and realized that she was like an outsider and had no idea how much assets her husband Qiu Xianfu had.
At the end of 2019, Tian Li and Qiu Xianfu's younger brother had a conflict due to a company accident. The two had a big fight in the company, and Tian Li even slapped his brother in front of a group of shareholders.
Although Tian Li is the eldest sister-in-law of the Qiu family, her younger brother always thinks that she married her elder brother for money, so she never reports to Tian Li, the vice president in company affairs.
Although Tian Li shouldn't have hit someone, it is indeed the fault of her younger brother just talking about the right or wrong of the matter.
But when her husband Qiu Xianfu learned about this, he not only scolded Tian Li in a scattered manner, but also directly removed Tian Li from his position, telling her not to inquire about the company's affairs again.
Qiu Xianfu has always regarded his younger brother as his most trusted right-hand man. His wife beats people in public, which isn’t it a shame for people to look down on her face? With this idea, he not only one-sidedly, but also asked Tian Li to take the initiative and publicly apologize to her younger brother.
Various things have long erased Tian Li's love and tolerance for her husband Qiu Xianfu. She went back to her parents' home and sued Qiu Xianfu in the Jinniu District People's Court of Chengdu with a divorce agreement.
On May 15, 2020, Tian Li got the final judgment of her three appeals, but what she did not expect was that the reasons for three divorces and three failures were simple: first, the evidence she gave was not enough to determine that the marriage between the couple could not be maintained; second, because the only child of the two settled in the United States, She had a legal obligation to take care of her husband Qiu Xianfu, who was 78 years old at the time.
Seeing that his wife repeatedly appealed for divorce but failed, Qiu Xianfu breathed a sigh of relief and "graceful" increased his wife's living expenses from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. However, half a year later, his wife appealed to the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court again, demanding a divorce.
On January 28, 2022, Qiu Xianfu and Tian Li's divorce lawsuit finally came to an end. The Chengdu Intermediate People's Court determined that since the relationship between the two parties has not been repaired and the plaintiff has filed four lawsuits, , the relationship between the two parties has indeed broken down. The two parties agreed to divorce, and the property under their name is the joint property of the couple, and it is divided equally with a share of 50%.
After receiving the court's judgment, Qiu Xianfu was stunned. His current property has reached a huge amount of billions! Although he lived in a dilapidated old house, ten years ago, he built a private museum in his hometown, Chongzhou . The famous paintings of Qi Baishi , the authentic works of Daqian , and various porcelains, antiques, and carvings, are all private property he has collected for decades!
According to what he told reporters, this museum, , is planned to donate to the government after death. The treasures in it are national treasures and should not belong to private people.
He had no intention of refuting the court's divorce judgment, but in terms of property division, His billion property was all driven by his millions of savings before marriage and could not be classified as the common property of the couple.
Conclusion
Qiu Xianfu, who is now eighty years old, is still sitting in a wheelchair, and his younger brother is pushing him between Sichuan Higher People's Court and the company.
Some people questioned that Tian Li was impure in her intentions towards Qiu Xianfu, but she had been doing housework for Qiu Xianfu for 30 years, but what she got was her husband's repeated distrust. The couple was originally a commoner. If Qiu Xianfu really regarded Tian Li as a relative, she might not face the current dilemma of being plagued by lawsuits and half of the property.
