"Send 60 million U.S. dollars, and if you dare to call the police, your husband will be killed!" This was the ultimatum given by the kidnappers to Hong Kong's richest woman Gong Nina. One day in April 1990, her husband, Wang Dehui, was kidnapped again on his way home from playing golf. After she remitted the down payment of US$30 million, her husband disappeared and was never heard from again.
In the following years, Gong Nina searched for her husband to no avail, and was even eager to find her husband. She was deceived by a Feng Shui master and defrauded her of more than 3 billion yuan. During this period, he was sued by his father-in-law, and the inheritance lawsuit lasted for several years. Her tortuous and legendary life is something that not even a TV series dares to compile! In 2007, she died of illness without any children, and donated all her 83 billion family property.
01
Gong Ruxin was born in Shanghai in 1937. Her father worked in a bank. Her family background was very good at that time, and she lived a carefree life. Later, Gong Ruxin's father met the businessman Wang Tingxin by chance. As the relationship deepened, the two became brothers. Wang Tingxin's company needed capable and trustworthy personnel, and Gong Ruxin's father happened to be proficient in finance, shrewd and capable, and the two hit it off. Therefore, Gong's father resigned from the bank and went to Wang Tingxin's company to assist him in his work.
Because of the relationship between Gong's father and Wang Tingxin, the two families moved around more frequently and their contacts became closer and closer. Gong Nina is sweet-looking and her eyes look like two crescent moons when she smiles. She is very lovely. She and Wang Tingxin's son Wang Dehui are similar in age. They often played and studied together when they were young. They were really childhood sweethearts. Both parents were very happy with it, so the two families arranged a wedding for their baby.
In 1947, the Wang family's company's business was transferred to Hong Kong for development, but Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin continued to exchange letters and their contact was never interrupted. The two went from being ignorant when they were young to falling in love. As they exchanged letters, their feelings for each other became deeper and deeper, and living together became a common wish.
But something unexpected happened. In 1949, Gong's father was unfortunately killed in the "Taiping Ship" shipwreck. The death of the mainstay of the family dealt a huge blow to Gong Ruxin's family. Since then, his family has been in decline, and he has been relying on his mother to do odd jobs to survive. Although she was extremely financially strapped, Gong's mother never relaxed about her four children's studies and insisted that they receive a better education. Gong Nina was also able to study at Shanghai Normal University.
The time has arrived in 1955. The 18-year-old Gong Ruxin has grown into a beautiful girl. Wang Dehui is also a talented person with a graceful demeanor. The two of them can no longer overcome the pain of lovesickness just by relying on Hongyan's letters. When Wang Dehui learned about Gong Ruxin's family situation, Wang Dehui suggested that she come to Hong Kong to develop. He consulted his parents' opinions in advance. Although their parents were hesitant, they finally agreed considering the old friendship between their parents.
But after Gong Ruxin came to Hong Kong, Wang Dehui asked his parents to marry Gong Ruxin. My parents were not happy when they heard this. In the parents' concept, marriage is about being from the same family. When they were engaged in marriage, the two families were almost the same. Now the Gong family is no longer what it used to be, and has fallen to the bottom of society. In the view of Wang Dehui's parents, the two families were no longer a good match. If they get married, the Gong family will not only be of no help to them, but will also become a burden.
Fortunately, the young Wang Dehui is very assertive and will never give up. He will argue with reason, but his parents can't defeat their son after all. The two finally overcame the obstacles and chose to get married on the day Gong Ruxin turned 18, fulfilling their dream of living together.
02
After they got married, they moved out and lived separately, not wanting to be attached to their parents. The two had very similar ideas on this point.
After getting married, Gong Ruxin did not follow the path of most women and chose to be a full-time housewife. Instead, she applied to work in an accounting firm. But because her English was not up to par at the time, she made a mistake and was scolded by her boss. Wang Dehui, who felt sorry for his wife, persuaded Gong Ruxin to stop doing it and promised to support her so that she would not have to wrong herself.
However, although Gong Ruxin was moved, she still didn't want to eat at home and simply chose to work with Wang Dehui. In the early 1960s, they set up their own business and founded "Chinachem Real Estate". She served as the company's financial director to assist her husband in starting a business.
I have to admit that Gong Nina is talented in business, and she can often keenly capture business opportunities that are not easy to detect.
Especially after the "June 7th Incident" broke out in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's real estate industry encountered a cold winter. When major bosses fled the real estate industry one after another, she believed that when everyone was the most pessimistic, it was a good time to enter the market, and suggested that her husband decisively enter the market. Wang Dehui believed in his wife's judgment, obeyed her orders, and spent a large amount of money to acquire the land.
As expected, soon after, the real estate industry not only recovered, but also gained momentum. And the land they hoarded when prices were low made their real estate projects cheaper and therefore more competitive. The real estate projects made them a lot of money. The huge success of the real estate project has made "Chinachem Real Estate" famous, and the couple's worth has also increased. Their assets have reached more than 10 billion, and they have become Hong Kong's richest people.
What's rare is that although the two of them have tens of billions of assets, they keep a low profile and live a simple life. Diligence and frugality are virtues, but some people think that they have gone too far and become "stingy". It is said that they often eat boxed lunches with their employees, and if they can’t finish the food, they take it home without wasting anything. No drivers or bodyguards are hired. Whether at work or out for activities, Wang Dehui drives the car himself.
Although the couple could keep a low profile, they were still targeted by kidnappers because the company had a good reputation. It really goes along with the old saying, “If you’re not afraid of thieves stealing, you’re afraid of thieves missing you.”
03
On the morning of April 12, 1983, the couple went to work as usual. It was spring, the sun was warm and the breeze was gentle. The two of them enjoyed the caress of spring without any premonition of the approaching danger. When the car reached a remote place, it was suddenly attacked by two cars. The kidnappers smashed the window glass and kidnapped Wang Dehui directly. Before leaving, he said: "The ransom is 11 million U.S. dollars, not even a cent less!" He threw Gong Ruxin on the road and walked away.
Gong Ruxin was so frightened that when she came to her senses, the kidnappers had already left. Eager to save her husband, she immediately raised funds and transferred them to the designated account for the kidnappers. The kidnappers actually released Wang Dehui as agreed. Wang Dehui, who had escaped from danger, learned that Gong Ruxin had paid a ransom of 11 million US dollars. He was so distressed that he scolded his wife: "You are confused, giving such a huge sum of dollars to this kind of garbage!" Gong Ruxin retorted: "Your life is more important than money!"
After this disaster, Gong Ruxin insisted on hiring bodyguards. Wang Dehui recalled the experience of being kidnapped, and was afraid, so he reluctantly agreed. Since then, several years have finally passed peacefully. Seeing that nothing happened, Wang Dehui gradually relaxed his vigilance and even felt that the cost of hiring bodyguards was a waste. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was uneconomical and unnecessary, so he simply fired all the bodyguards.
In fact, hiring a bodyguard is like buying insurance. It is buying a protection, and it is a measure that is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.
In 1990, it was spring again in April. On his way home from exercising at the gym, he was ambushed by kidnappers again. This time the kidnapper Lion opened his mouth and demanded a ransom of 60 million US dollars. The amount was huge, and Gong Nina requested to pay half of it first and the rest later. The kidnapper seemed to be reasonable and actually agreed, and in a "humane" manner allowed the couple to talk to each other, which was also the last time the couple talked.
After Gong Ruxin transferred the 30 million US dollars, the husband's "lost and found" incident did not happen again like last time. The kidnapper seemed to have disappeared and could never be contacted again, and the husband's whereabouts are unknown since then.
After the police intervened, they tracked the imported account information and finally captured the kidnapper. The kidnappers admitted that Wang Dehui had been torn into pieces and sunk into the sea. But Gong Ruxin, who was obsessed with her, never gave up. She wanted to see people alive and her body dead, and would rather believe that her husband was still alive.

Later, Gong Ruxin's obsession developed to the point of believing the lies of Feng Shui master Chen Zhencong. He said that Wang Dehui was still alive, but just living on an uninhabited island. Gong Ruxin, who was smart and capable in the business, lost her reason and became obsessed with finding a husband. She lost her basic judgment and spent a huge sum of 3.2 billion on Chen Zhencong.
What's even more outrageous is that she followed Chen Zhencong's advice to "keep a girl's heart" and wore braids. She also dressed like a girl in a cute and cute style, pink and rosy, and was nicknamed "little sweetheart", "senior girl", etc.
After her husband passed away, she took over the position of president of Chinachem Group in his stead. After decades of dominating the shopping mall, she valued the company's assets to an astronomical figure of more than 80 billion.
didn’t want Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway when the company was booming. Her father-in-law jumped out and said that Wang Dehui had written a will before his death, and that all the inheritance belonged to his father-in-law. The date of the will produced by his father-in-law was March 1968. Seeing that the fruits of her years of hard work were about to be taken away, Gong Ruxin was of course not to be outdone. She also showed Wang Dehui's will in her hand, which was in March 1990. The inheritance lawsuit lasted for 8 years to find out which one was true and which one was false. In the end, Gong Nina won the case.
won the lawsuit, but her life was really going through ups and downs. Shortly after the lawsuit ended, her health deteriorated and she was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. Although she was extremely wealthy, she was unable to recover. In 2007, another day in April, Gong Nina passed away in the hospital at the age of 70.
05
Her life is destined to be full of twists and turns, and even her death will not be peaceful.
Feng Shui master Chen Zhencong, who once defrauded her of a huge sum of 3.2 billion, was greedy and made up a will saying that Gong Ruxin's inheritance should belong to him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to fabricate the romantic love history of the two to enhance his persuasion. In the end, Chen Zhencong was outwitted by his cleverness and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
In the end, all the inheritance of more than 80 billion was donated, and the dispute over the inheritance was finally settled. If Gong Nina knew something underground, she should feel relieved.
Gong Nina grew up as a helpless girl who lost her father at a young age and grew into a rich man worth more than 80 billion. During this period, she experienced her husband's second kidnapping and disappearance, experienced two inheritance lawsuits, and finally died in the hospital. Her life was full of ups and downs and drama. Her business ability is admirable, and her life experience is embarrassing.
's husband, Wang Dehui, was kidnapped for the second time. Some people bluntly said that he was too stingy and wasted money on bodyguards. I personally think it is unfair to say this. It is not necessary to hire bodyguards, and bodyguards are not omnipotent. Some celebrities are protected by more than 20 bodyguards, but they are still assassinated and lie on the streets. The key is to strengthen social security, and it is the greedy and inhumane kidnappers who should be strongly condemned!
Some people even said: With so much money, I am not willing to spend it, and I don’t have a son or a half, so what’s the point of earning so much money? Of course, it is happy to have children and enjoy family happiness, but career success will also bring a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction! There is more than one path in life, and the standard of happiness is different for everyone.
I hope she will have no kidnapping, no fraud, no illness in heaven, and can be a real carefree "little sweetheart"!
@爱米儿 I have heard about
Gong Ruxin’s story a long time ago. She is almost a household name. How could she be so rich, so famous, and dressed so girlishly? But what makes people sad is that behind the girl who dresses up like this, there is such a sad love story.
In fact, after reading this story, I was thinking, that once-in-a-lifetime, vigorous love is what each of us yearns for and pursues, but is it really hurtful because it is too passionate and long-lasting?
Think about it, if Gong Nina did not have such a perfect love and just got married and lived like an ordinary couple, then after one party passes away, if the other party is still young and in good condition, they may be sad and miss for a while, but they will also move forward. You will find a partner that suits you, accept love again, get married, and start a new life.
If Gong Ruxin could do this, she might live a happier and more complete life for the rest of her life.It was because of this childhood sweetheart, a vigorous, once-in-a-lifetime love that she could not accept anyone else for the rest of her life. It was because of her obsession with her husband that she was defrauded of more than 3 billion yuan to find her lover who should be no longer alive.
Everyone will have an obsession with someone or something. The deeper the obsession, the harder it is to get out of it. They will do some things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and pay some prices that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Look at those corrupt officials. They have no worries about food and clothing, even for generations. They are still obsessed with money, until one day they look too much, commit a crime, and put their own lives and freedom on the line. Look at some businessmen, who don't make enough money and are obsessed with fame and fortune. They have no bottom line and no bottom line. Conscience, you can add melamine to baby milk powder; some people are obsessed with so-called love. You can see the kind of people who hurt themselves and others when they don’t get it. The kind of people who fall into extramarital affairs and can’t get out. They know clearly that the other person doesn’t love them, but they just can’t get out, and they stay entangled for years or even decades.
Of course, I still sympathize with Gong Ruxin's experiences. Because she is too rich and famous, she attracts people who deceive her or hurt her, and her life is not smooth. But I do feel that if everyone could realize their obsession and let it go, life would be easier and people would be more awake. Just like what Master Hongyi said: If you stick to a thought, you will be trapped in it; if you let go of a thought, you will feel at ease in your heart.
