It is understood that Zhen Zhen has always held economic power. In order to share half of the property, Liu Jiachang filed divorce lawsuits in Taiwan and the United States in 2015 and 2018 respectively.
In order to protect his son Liu Ziqian , Zhen Zhen did not hesitate to break up with her ex-husband. The two were revealed to have divorced, but they did not make it public and were a masked couple for a full 28 years. For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar.
Liu Jiachang, this name was well-known in the 1970s.

"The godfather of Taiwanese music, Liu Jiachang? I don't know him. It's better to be more famous in Lin Xi and Fang Wenshan ."
Liu Jiachang, a genius composer, the queen of Qiong Yao Opera.
He is a card friend of Li Ao . The two talented men have a friendship between teasing each other. Once, Li Ao asked him to play cards and said that there was Kaizi, but he lost all of them and asked who Kaizi was. Li Ao said it was him!

Talk with the work:
"A curtain of dreams" (lyrics written by Qiong Yao , composed by Liu Jiachang)
I have a dream, I don't know who can share it with, how many secrets are in it, and no one can understand it if I want to tell you...
"The Past can only be reminiscent": Time has passed and never come back, the past can only be rekindled. I remember my childhood, and my childhood was with me day and night. The spring breeze blows red in the stamens again, and you have already added a new year. You have to change your mind like time to fall back, and I can only snuggle with each other in my dreams...
"Meilan Meilan I love you": Meilan Meilan I love you, you are like the orchid, you are like the green of the plum blossom every year, when you see Meilan, you think of you...
and "The Moon Full of the West Tower", "Dreamland", "In the Rain", "Going to the West Tower Alone"...
Liu's music style has a clear rhythm and a unique temperament, as if an old movie is being performed, music slowly flows out of the record player, you are taken in, fixed, and you cannot move. What flows out is a story and life.
The title of a generation of music talent is destined to be extraordinary.
02 A poor boy has a crush on the popular actress
1963, Liu Jiachang met Zhen Zhen. At that time, Liu Jiachang was 22 years old and Zhen Zhen was 15 years old.
Zhen Zhen, original name Jiazhen , Zhen Zhen is a stage name, born in Beijing in 1948, starring in many films adapted from Qiong Yao's novels such as "Colorful Clouds Flying", "Several Sunset Red", "The Heart Has Thousand Knots", and "Seagulls Flying".
Zhen Zhen has that kind of healthy and energetic beauty, sometimes lively and cute, sometimes charming.
even photographers lamented that "among the female stars, she is the best shot, it is easy to clean up, and every angle looks good at ", and Brigitte Lin also regards her as her idol.
At that time, Liu Jiachang was just a poor college student. In order to pursue music, he dropped out of school to be a singer in a nightclub. He said, "From the first time he saw her, he knew she was my wife."
He took the song "Deep in My Heart - To Zhen Zhen" he wrote for her to find her at the film company, but was snatched by the other party's agent and tore it to pieces, calling him a lunatic.
Zhen Zhen turned around and asked him, "What's your name?"
He was ecstatic and said word by word: "Liu Jiachang! You must remember this name forever."
Later, with Liu Jiachang's fame, he and Zhen Zhen became acquaintances. Zhen Zhen is still young, and she introduced her friend Jiang Qing to him and said, "You are with someone else, or we can't be together."
This Jiang Qing is also a beautiful female star. She likes Liu Jiachang's talent and often goes to nightclubs to support him. In order not to lose Zhen Zhen, Liu Jiachang married Jiang Qing in 1966. The two have a son, Liu Jipeng.
Liu Jiachang has never forgotten Zhen Zhen. Four years later, he suddenly held a press conference and said that Jiang Qing had an affair with director Li Hanxiang and announced his divorce.
On the night of the divorce, he found Zhen Zhen and said: "One day, I will marry you. It's the kind of marriage that I can't divorce me after getting married."
Regained his singleness, in order to narrow the gap with Zhen Zhen, he devoted himself to writing for four years, wrote more than 1,500 songs, setting a record of millions of sales in the recording industry, directed 25 movies, and became famous in 1972 with the movie "Late Autumn".
people are not tree stumps. He naively and stubbornly thought that Zhen Zhen would wait for him in place for four years.
At the beginning, Jose made a promise of love to Sanmao: "Echo, wait for me for six years, I have four years to go to college, and two years to serve in military service. Once six years pass, I will marry you."
Six years later, Jose fulfilled his promise.
When he finally had the confidence to pursue her, news of her marriage with others came. In the four years of his creation, Xie Xian , relying on his romance, handsomeness and careful care, won the hearts of beauty.
1970 Xie Xian and Zhen Zhen worked together to shoot the movie " Tiying ". One is as beautiful as a flower, the other is suave.
Liu Jiachang didn't expect the crisis at all when he was lying in his dream of being a talented man.
Xie Xian started a fierce pursuit of Zhen Zhen. At first, she heard that Xie Xian was very fickle and was afraid that his daughter would suffer losses, so the woman's mother strongly opposed it.
But Xie Xian is sweet-mouthed and can please his mother-in-law. After clearing the obstacles, the two registered their marriage in Hong Kong in 1974.
Li Ronghao sang in "Youthful and Promising": "If you are young and promising, you will not be inferior/she has tasted regret/money and status/I have fought but I really want to return it." This is most in line with Liu Jiachang's mood at that time.
03 Finally got the beauty home
On the 6th day after Zhen Zhen and Xie Xian married, 33-year-old Liu Jiachang ran to Xie Xian and Zhen Zhen’s home in Hong Kong and stayed at the door for a day and a night. While Zhen Zhen was going out alone, he ran over to Zhen Zhen and said, “I can’t live without you.”
Maybe, it is always very eager to strive for the necessary warmth in life.
From then on, Liu Jiachang launched a series of "crazy actions", completely ignoring the outside world. He went wherever Zhen Zhen went, and he also went swimming.
Once, Zhen Zhen and her mother went to the United States to visit their father. Liu Jiachang thought she was going to go away from the United States, so he crossed the ocean to chase him, holding the guitar and sang "Why don't you look back" to her.
Maybe it is a comparison of Xie Xian's performance in the past two years after marriage. Maybe it is the persistence of the man in front of her that moved her. On the lawn at the door of the hotel, Zhen Zhen talked about her happy life with Xie Xian, but Liu Jiachang just kept repeating: "I want to be with you."
Once, Zhen Zhen went to Japan, and Liu Jiachang also chased him to Japan. Then the rumors of the two "secret meeting" in Japan were circulated back to Hong Kong. Xie Xian did not believe Zhen Zhen's explanation and filed for divorce. He was young and energetic and misunderstood. In anger, the two divorced in 1978.
After divorced Xie Xian, Zhen Zhen could not resist Liu Jiachang's crazy pursuit. The two got married in New York in August 1978.
Finally, 15 years of bitter love bear sweet fruits. At that moment, Liu Jiachang felt so happy, as if a child had obtained candy.
Tsai Xian was very painful during that time. He often ran to the rooftop alone to drink. After all, it was the purest time in his life, but he finally walked out of that depressing time.
was linked with Deborah in 1979, and then there were Nicholas Tse and Xie Tingting .
The end of the fairy tale is that the prince and the princess lived a happy life from then on.
But life is not a fairy tale love. The passionate love starts, the desolate ends. Did Liu Jiachang give Zhen Zhen happiness?
04 If life is just like the first meeting?
Love and marriage are not the same thing, men and women are not the same thing, men come from Mars, women come from Venus, and people who are too talented are often different from ordinary people.
Zhen Zhen was tired of life in the entertainment industry and wanted to live a life of an ordinary person, calm and simple. Liu Jiachang was keen on politics and gambling, and was involved in political disputes and debt collection storms. He was once addicted to gambling and lost 50,000 US dollars in a minute.
No matter how much property you have, it can't stand uncontrollable gambling. On the one hand, you are worried that all the money in your family will be lost. On the other hand, it is difficult for Liu Jiachang to change. After discussion, the two divorced when their son Liu Ziqian was over one year old, but they did not announce it to the public.
Liu Jiachang said in the program "Liu Jiachang's Speaking": "I only know how good the sound should be. I am an idiot in other aspects."
He doesn't use a mobile phone, can't surf the Internet, can't go to the supermarket, and in the past few years in the United States, Zhen Zhen handled everything, and after marriage, he didn't even pour a glass of water for her.
However, once his wife fell ill, he burst into tears and asked his friends to find the best hospital. After Zhen Zhen's surgery was successful, Liu Jiachang relaxed and cried in an instant like an ungrown child.
Even the "Fourth Brother" Xie Xian has put aside his grudges for many years and once praised Liu Jiachang for being a love-like person. Zhen Zhen is very happy to follow him.
However, things have undergone a dramatic change. In 2015, he was 72 years old and said that he had no living expenses and that his life was all supported by Jiang Qing's son Liu Jipeng.
Then in anger, he sued his ex-wife Zhen Zhen to court and denounced his son Liu Ziqian for being unfilial, which made the scene look bad. Only then did people realize that the two had divorced, but 28 years had passed since this incident.
When you love, it is true love, and when you hate it, it is true hatred.
He is not like a person who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for so many years. He cannot learn Xie Xian's emotional intelligence and cannot handle complex relationships. He just speaks and does things according to his nature and lives as a stubborn old man.
I always feel that he still loves Zhen Zhen very much in his life.
He never cared about money and gave Zhen Zhen his whole life's property and house. When facing the media, he also said, "She is a family member and is more important than his wife."
said that he controlled the musical direction of his son Liu Ziqian and insisted on singing the Liu family-style " Reminiscing You ".
is a fancy to his son's talent and cannot bear to waste it. I hope he can inherit his music career. Although his method is a bit tough, his son is not very accepting.
He dug up Xie Xian's "corner" and took away Zhen Zhen. In his later years, he lived alone in Longhu Mountain, Yingtan, Jiangxi Province, and regained his freedom and the woman he loved in his life - Zhen Zhen.
In the end, the dust returns to the dust, the road returns to the road, is it really, if life is just like the first meeting, what if the autumn wind is sad and painted a fan?
However, Liu Jiachang carefully designed and built a town with ancient oriental charm in Longhu Mountain. It took 11 years, invested more than 500 million yuan, and the environment was beautiful, which is indeed enviable.
How can you deeply feel its truth, its goodness and its beauty before?
Love is like a coin, one side is two sides. Perhaps no one can take only one side and not the other side.
is painful and happy.
