As the "hotel king", why did he oppose his son marrying Teresa Teng?

The "hotel king" who opposed his son's marriage to Teresa Teng was Malaysia's former richest man Robert Kuok. His ancestral home was Fuzhou, Fujian, but he was born in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. He is Asia's sugar king and hotel king, with a net worth of over 100 billion. Even the famous Shangri-La Hotel, Arowana cooking oil, and Beijing International Trade Center are his assets. Just the rent received by Beijing International Trade Center amounts to more than 5 billion a year. Therefore, many people know the name Robert Kuok, and he is one of the few rich people who can be compared with Li Ka-shing.

Guo Henian had two wives in his first marriage. The first one has passed away, and the second one is He Baolian. He has 8 children. His eldest son Guo Kongcheng also had a relationship with Teresa Teng. Almost married. Because Robert Kuok had made emotional mistakes in his early years, he was particularly concerned about his son's relationship and interfered many times. It was learned that he and Teresa Teng directly opposed his son's marriage to Teresa Teng, and the two did not get together in the end.

It is said that Robert Kuok’s eldest son Guo Kongcheng has always been his right-hand man and is highly valued. The Guo family has business all over Asia, and Guo Kongcheng naturally often travels to various parts of Asia on behalf of his father. When he was helping his father with his business in Hong Kong, he accidentally met the famous star Teresa Teng in a restaurant. The two admired each other after some exchanges, and soon developed into a relationship, and later held an engagement ceremony at the Shangri-La Hotel in Hong Kong. Just when many people were happy that Teresa Teng had found a good home, Guo Kongcheng, who brought Teresa Teng back to the Kuok family mansion in Malaysia, never expected that the situation was completely different from what he expected. His grandmother, father and others were very traditional people and looked down upon Teresa Teng, who was an entertainer. In their traditional concepts, women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise children, and should not go out to show off. Therefore, in the eyes of people like them, the so-called actors are just actors, and they are still working in a low-level industry, so naturally they will not be treated well.

In order to make Teresa Teng give up, they put forward many harsh requirements, the most core of which was to let Teresa Teng give up her singing career and become a housewife who took care of her husband and children. At this time, Teresa Teng began to fall into a dilemma between the man she liked and the singing career she liked. If she gives up her career, she can only be a wealthy wife who takes care of her husband and children, and she will lose a lot from now on. If she chooses a career, she will have to give up her dream of becoming a rich lady. After careful consideration, she finally chose to give up marrying Guo Kongcheng and continue her favorite singing career.

Although Teresa Teng's relationship ended in failure, and I was not able to marry into a wealthy family as I wished, it is inevitable that I will have a little regret. After Guo Kongcheng and Teresa Teng broke up, Teresa Teng never married. On the other hand, Guo Kongcheng soon married a Japanese Yumiko who looked somewhat similar to Teresa Teng. Since Yumiko lives in Hong Kong all year round and rarely appears in the media, few people know her current situation.
