People will certainly encounter many ups and downs in this life, and what can support you in the low years is your greatest wealth in life.
When it comes to Du Meiru, many people may not know it, but when it comes to her father and mother, almost everyone in China knows it. Du Meiru is the favorite daughter of Shanghai Emperor Du Yuesheng, and her mother is Yao Yulan, a famous Peking Opera singer known as the Winter Emperor.

Although Du Yuesheng has died for decades, his legend has never stopped. He is a leader of the Green Gang, a tycoon in the business world, and even has a strong influence in the political world. Du Yuesheng started his business from the soil of smoke. At the most exaggerated time, his company's annual income was about 200 billion yuan today. At that time, Du Yuesheng was absolutely rich.

Du Yuesheng started out on the soil of smoke, and later invested in many legitimate businesses. He became a figure in the business world who only covered the sky with his hands by taking stakes in many banks and factories. Du Yuesheng has friends all over the world, many of whom are political leaders. Du Meiru is lucky because she has impeccable parents. However, Du Meiru is also unlucky, because when she grows up, the Du family will decline.
Before Yao Yulan married Du Yuesheng, Yao Yulan married Du Yuesheng when she was 42 years old. Du Yuesheng had several wives at that time.

Du Yuesheng loves Yao Yulan very much. Before Du Meiru was born, Du Yuesheng had only six sons but no daughter. So Du Yuesheng dotes on Du Meiru very much. There is a Donghu Road in Shanghai, which was formerly called Du Meiru Road. When Du Meiru was born, Du Yuesheng was very happy, so he bought this street and gave it to Du Meiru.
At that time, the life of Du's family could be said to be very luxurious. Du Yuesheng had many guests at that time, and his family could be said to have three thousand diners. Du Yuesheng was generous and generous, and many people were always attracted to him. Du Meiru later recalled that at that time, there were 97 servants in the whole Du family, and there were 17 servants for her mother alone.
Du Meiru enjoyed all the splendor and wealth in her childhood. Du Meiru said that when she got up, she was served by three servants, one to comb her hair, one to put on her shoes, and the other to put on her clothes.

Du Meiru ate delicious food every day at home, not only Chinese food but also western food. Du Meiru often wants to go to Shanghai Hotel for dinner. Every time Du Meiru wants to go out for dinner, Du Yuesheng will ask someone to take Du Meiru out for dinner immediately even if the food is ready at home.
Du Yuesheng's doting on Du Meiru even caused Yao Yulan's complaint. Du Meiru has been doing very well in school since she grew up, so Du Yuesheng likes Du Meiru even more. Du Yuesheng has never read a book himself, but after his success, he has always respected scholars. No matter how hot the weather is, he always wears a long coat. Du Meiru also learned to sing with her mother when she was a child, and the costumes she used to perform were worn by the last queen Wanrong.
Du Meiru has seen many such treasures since she was young, and she is not used to them. Maybe today's Li Ka shing can't compare with Du Yuesheng at that time. Du Yuesheng was very happy when Du Meiru was admitted to St. John's University in Shanghai, and Du Meiru was naturally very satisfied. But in the end, instead of waiting for college life, she waited until she drifted to a foreign land.

Two months after Du Meiru entered the university, Du Yuesheng told Du Meiru to pack her luggage because her family was going to Hong Kong. At that time, there were more than 100 people in Du Yuesheng's family, which can be said to be vast and mighty. Du Yuesheng told Du Meiru that she would reapply to the university after she came back. As a result, she had been away for decades. When Du Meiru came back, she was already an old woman with grey hair on her temples.
When Du Yuesheng and his family arrived in Hong Kong, the situation was much worse than before. They still had a lot of income in Shanghai. After arriving in Hong Kong, they had to sit on their laurels. Du Yuesheng left in a hurry. He didn't have time to sell many of his assets, so he only took some US dollars with him.
Du Meiru can't continue to go to school. To Du Mei's surprise, her father Du Yuesheng died of illness only two years after he arrived in Hong Kong. Before his death, Du Yuesheng began to arrange his own inheritance. At that time, he had only 110000 dollars left in his family. With a family of more than 100 people, everyone had limited money.

At that time, Du Meiru was still unmarried. According to her father's arrangement, she could only get 6000 dollars. In fact, Du Yuesheng also had a large amount of assets at that time, that is, the IOUs he deposited with HSBC. These IOUs have been borrowed from Du Yuesheng for many years. If the money is recovered, it will be a huge sum of money, enough for Du Yuesheng's descendants to live a prosperous life.
However, Du Yuesheng asked Du Meiru to take out the IOU and burn it in public. Du Yuesheng refused to let his descendants ask the creditors for money. This event deeply shocked Du Meiru.

After the death of Du Yuesheng, the life of the Du family became more difficult. At that time, the whole family often couldn't make ends meet. Du Meiru was in charge of the accounting of the family at that time. It was she who kept trying to make a living for the family. Du Meiru went to Taiwan with her mother, and later met a pilot. Later, the couple went to Jordan to open a Chinese restaurant. Du Meiru raised her living by working hard to earn money. When Du Meiru lived in Du Mansion, he probably never thought that she would have this day.
However, her father's influence on Du Meiru has enabled her to face life even when she is down and out. Now Du Meiru has sold two restaurants and returned to Taiwan to settle down. What she and her husband never forget is their hometown in Shanghai. A few years ago, Du Meiru returned to Shanghai to visit. Du Meiru also sighed that the country has changed too much nowadays.
