한어Русский языкEnglishFrançaisIndonesianSanskrit日本語DeutschPortuguêsΕλληνικάespañolItalianoSuomalainenLatina

xi mihua's rise is a combination of a flexible mind and courage. he started as a low-level jackpot boy and climbed to the pinnacle of casino power step by step. with the "sun city" brand, he got involved in many fields such as gambling, entertainment, and real estate, and eventually created a fortune of tens of billions and became a legend in macau.

however, xi mihua's wealth did not bring him real happiness, but pushed him into the abyss of desire. he was addicted to gambling, spent money like water, and even broke the law to open a cross-border gambling platform, which eventually burned him. in 2021, xi mihua was arrested by the police on charges of illegal gambling, money laundering and other crimes. after the court trial, xi mihua was sentenced to 18 years in prison and fined 24.8 billion hong kong dollars.

xi mihua's imprisonment had a huge impact on his family. surprisingly, his wife chen huiling did not show too much sadness. instead, she took the children on vacation to europe to celebrate the birthday of her eldest daughter. the photos they posted on social media are still luxury cars and mansions, and the luxury remains. this "none of my business" attitude has aroused strong doubts from the public. some people accuse chen huiling of being cold-blooded and ruthless. while her husband is in prison, she is living happily with her children; others believe that chen huiling is using this method to protect the children from outside interference so that they can live a normal life.

xi mihua's lover mandy lieu chose to "cut losses in time". after xi mihua was arrested, mandy lieu took the huge breakup fee and went to the uk, bought a manor, and lived an idyllic life. although her choice seemed "wise", it also caused a lot of controversy. some people think that mandy lieu is a typical representative of "gold diggers" who only love money and ignore friendship; others think that mandy lieu's choice is human nature. after all, xi mihua can't protect himself, so there is no need for her to keep her virginity for him.

xi mihua's story is not only a failure and downfall in life, but also an exploration of desire. he experienced the vanity brought by wealth and the consumption of desire, and finally fell into the abyss. his fate reminds people that money and desire are uncontrollable forces that will devour people's hearts and lead to the destruction of life.

xi mihua's story has also triggered people's thinking about family, responsibility, morality and other issues. in a materialistic society, it is easy for people to get lost in material desires and forget the true meaning of life. we need to reflect on how to protect our bottom line and how to maintain our original intentions under the temptation of desire.
