In 2012, Lai Changxing was sentenced to life imprisonment for smuggling.
The Lai Changxing smuggling case involves a large number of people, including many senior officials and dignitaries. With the exposure of Lai Changxing's smuggling case, people associated with it have also been punished by the law. Among them, two female stars were also involved.
Lai Changxing is a businessman who succeeded for a while with unique "tricks". In 1994, Lai Changxing founded Xiamen Yuanhua Group Co., Ltd. When the company was founded, that is when his illegal smuggling activities began.
Lai Changxing is bold, dare to think and dare to do, has worked in various processing plants and made a lot of money.
After the establishment of Yuanhua Company, Lai Changxing became even bolder. He began to engage in the crime of smuggling and illegally imported cars, cigarettes and other products, from which he made huge profits and destroyed the original economic order.
In 1999, the relevant departments opened an investigation into the Lai Changxing case and found evidence of Lai Changxing's smuggling crime. After Lai Changxing heard the news, he turned on absconding mode and hid in Canada for quite a long time.
In the end, Lai Changxing was repatriated to China.
After Lai Changxing was arrested, the corrupt officials who had been in cahoots with him were punished by the law, which was very gratifying. But at the same time, some people associated with Lai Changxing are also under great pressure of public opinion. Dong Wenhua is one of them.
The story also starts with Lai Changxing's admiration for Dong Wenhua.
Dong Wenhua was a popular singer in the 1980s and 1990s. Her songs "the Moon of the Tenth five" and "the Story of Spring" have become indelible classic songs in the hearts of the older generation. At that time, most families with televisions could hear Dong Wenhua's songs.
Around the 1990s, Lai Changxing made a lot of money and made many famous people. Dong Wenhua is one of the more famous.
Lai Changxing is determined to get to know Dong Wenhua. After being introduced by a friend, the two get to know each other and become friends.
In 1999, Lai Changxing was investigated for smuggling, and the news of Dong Wenhua's acquaintance with Lai Changxing spread like wildfire. At that time, photos of her and Lai Changxing were still circulating on the Internet, and some people said that Dong Wenhua took a high performance fee from Yuanhua.
All kinds of rumors come one after another, there are all kinds of things, and some of them are terrible to hear.
Dong Wenhua's reputation has plummeted.
Dong Wenhua, from a household name to a beloved singer, has become the object of questioning by many people, and her career has also fallen to a low ebb. Since then, it has been hard to see news of Dong Wenhua in the media, which will scramble to report every public performance before that.
Lai Changxing said that in those years, when Yuanhua Group performed, Dong Wenhua would be invited to perform.
Every time she gives Dong Wenhua money, she doesn't want any reward and helps with the singing. Lai Changxing also revealed that Dong Wenhua has said that if there is not enough money in business, it can also help.
Judging from the final results of the official investigation, Dong Wenhua has nothing to do with Lai Changxing's smuggling case. But the three men became tigers, and Dong Wenhua's career was eventually brought down by rumors and rumors.
Dong Wenhua was not the only one affected by the Yuanhua smuggling case, but Yang Yuying, a jade daughter who was popular all over China at that time, was also deeply affected by it.
Yang Yuying was a famous singer in the 1990s. Her songs were highly praised by the people.
"Heart Rain", "I don't want to say" and "tell you gently" are all over the streets. Her sweet voice and gentle appearance made Yang Yuying a hot star at that time.
How does such a top star have anything to do with Lai Changxing's smuggling case? It also starts with her boyfriend Lai Wenfeng.
Lai Wenfeng is the nephew of Lai Changxing. He is an important participant in the business territory of Lai Changxing Yuanhua Group. After being investigated and dealt with for Lai Changxing's smuggling case, Lai Wenfeng was also jailed for crime.
As an important participant in Yuanhua Group, Lai Wenfeng naturally made a lot of money. Rich and handsome, he took a fancy to Yang Yuying, who was very popular at that time.
In order to pursue Yang Yuying, he can be said to have tried his best. Take the initiative to create the opportunity for Yang Yuying to perform in Xiamen and specially send a Mercedes-Benz team to meet Yang Yuying. As long as he hears Yang Yuying go somewhere to perform, he will personally plan and give Yang Yuying the best hospitality.
The handsome and rich Lai Wenfeng moved Yang Yuying with such considerate behavior. Yang Yuying accepted Lai Wenfeng's declaration of love, and the two started the mode of love.
The couple are said to have registered their marriage in Hong Kong in 1997.
Yang Yuying also focused on her family and dropped out of the singing scene.
However, after the Yuanhua smuggling case broke out in 1999, Lai Changxing's criminal behavior was exposed by the media. Lai Wenfeng, as Lai Changxing's nephew, was also deeply involved in the smuggling case and became the object of arrest.
The relationship between Yang Yuying and Lai Wenfeng was immediately exposed by the media. Then came various versions, and some people said that Yang Yuying had something to do with the smuggling case. Fortunately, after the final results of the official investigation, Yang Yuying had nothing to do with the case, and even so, the image of Yunu collapsed. Yang Yuying, who had already retired from the singing world, coupled with the influence of the Yuanhua case, began to disappear.
A generation of jade girls came to an end.
The Lai Changxing case has passed for many years, and people have long forgotten it, and Dong Wenhua and Yang Yuying have also made a comeback one after another.
Think of that period of the past, the heart added infinite emotion, as if after a century in general.
No matter how much attention has been paid by the media, with the passage of time, it will be lost in the world, and each of us has to face a life as insipid as water every day.
