Xie Lingling: Acting genius to expensive daughter-in-law, knocks out Joey Wong

In the 90s, the name Ta Linh Linh not only resounded throughout the Asian entertainment industry with her rare talent and beauty, but was also known as "the most expensive daughter-in-law of the wealthy family".

From "acting genius" to "perfect beauty" of Quynh Dao

Xie Lingling (born in 1956) entered the entertainment industry very early and quickly became one of the most sought-after child stars in Taiwan. In 1964, when writer Quynh Dao produced the film "Wan Jun", Xie Lingling, then only 8 years old, successfully defeated more than 1,700 other contestants to transform into Wan Jun's cousin on screen. This role helped her become famous overnight, her name became known to everyone, becoming a child phenomenon of Chinese cinema.

Xie Lingling's talent has also been recognized by experts when she received the Best Child Actress award for two consecutive years at the Golden Horse Film Festival - the most prestigious award in Taiwanese cinema. This is clear evidence of the title "acting genius" that the media has given her.

After growing up, Xie Lingling still maintained her halo, her beauty became more and more attractive and her influence was comparable to famous beauties of the same period such as Lin Qingha and Lin Fengjiao. At the peak of her beauty, the actress was even said to "outshine" the "beauty once seen in 50 years" Lin Qingha - the famous "Dongfang Bai".

The famous marriage with a playboy billionaire and absolute filial piety

In 1980, at the height of her career with countless opportunities ahead, Ta Linh Linh made a decision that surprised the public, which was to get married to tycoon Lam Kien Nhac. This decision made many people regret her brilliant career, because this billionaire was famous for being a womanizer, having had ambiguous relationships with many showbiz beauties.

However, in the face of the passionate pursuit and promises of the "playboy" from Hong Kong, Ta Linh Linh fell in love and decided to "follow her husband and quit the game" at the age of 23. With her exemplary, gentle and thoughtful nature, she quickly received the utmost love from her husband's family.

In particular, Ta Linh Linh's mother-in-law - Ms. Du Bao Chau - a powerful woman, known as the "iron lady" in the business world, is extremely pleased with this showbiz daughter-in-law. She has repeatedly given "winged" words to praise Ta Linh Linh in front of the media, publicly expressing her love and trust.

During her marriage, Ta Linh Linh gave birth to 5 children (3 girls, 2 boys) for her husband, took good care of them, raised them well, and was always filial to her husband's parents and fulfilled all the responsibilities of a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

Even when Lam Kien Nhac "returned to his old ways" and indulged in "picking flowers and weeds" outside, Ta Linh Linh did not make a fuss or create scandals on social networks, but always maintained the reputation of her husband's family. This patience and thoughtfulness is the reason why her mother-in-law loved Ta Linh Linh like her own child, and even taught and guided her to enter the business world, preparing her for the future.

"Third child" Joey Wong squeezed in and the bitter ending

It seemed that Xie Lingling's wealthy life would pass peacefully with the admiration of many people, but a big incident happened in 1992. Lam Kien Nhac suddenly fell in love with Vuong To Hien - the beautiful and famous "Nhiep Tieu Thien" from the movie "Thien Nu U Hon".

This tycoon pursued Joey Wong very enthusiastically, not sparing any money to buy a villa worth up to 30 million HKD (nearly 100 billion VND at the current exchange rate) to live with his lover, along with countless other valuable gifts.

Joey Wong was immediately heavily criticized by the public and media for being considered a "third person" interfering in someone else's family happiness. However, she seemed to not care about public opinion and remained with Lam Kien Nhac as a matter of course.

As for Xie Lingling, thinking of her five children, the actress initially tried to endure it. Even when she caught Lin Jianyue and Wong Cho-Hsien dating at a hotel, she pretended not to know and tried to salvage the marriage. Xie Lingling had separated from Lin Jianyue in 1993 and tried to give her husband time to come back.

However, Xie Lingling’s endurance and sacrifice could not restore her philandering husband’s love. Finally, in 1995, the actress decided to divorce, ending an unhappy 15-year marriage.

"Big win" when leaving the rich family and the spectacular transformation

Although her marriage broke down, Tse Lingling had a "spectacular" divorce that was unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong showbiz. Thanks to the support and assistance of her mother-in-law - Ms. Du Bao Chau, she not only won custody of all 5 children but also received a huge fortune of up to 400 million HKD (about 1,332 billion VND), including a villa worth 125 million HKD along with cash and other valuable assets.

After breaking up with Xie Lingling, Lam Kien Nhac was eager to bring "third child" Vuong To Hien home. However, he faced fierce opposition from his own mother. Ms. Du Bao Chau publicly declared that only Xie Lingling was qualified to be her daughter-in-law and used harsh words to criticize and scold Vuong To Hien in front of the media, even saying "consider it as my son spending 30 million HKD to find a chicken to entertain himself", causing the "first beauty of Asia" to lose face and suffer enormous pressure from public opinion.

Joey Wong is single and the fulfilling life of Tse Lingling

After many years of waiting but unable to sit on the main wife's chair, Joey Wong finally had to break up with tycoon Lam in 1996. This scandalous love affair seriously affected her career and image.

Later, the actress of "A Thien Nu U Hon" reconnected with her ex-boyfriend, singer Te Tan. It seemed like they had found a place to settle down, but then they had to cancel the wedding right before the big day because of the scandal from the groom's family (the story of Te Tan having a child out of wedlock).

After many missed opportunities and suffering unnecessary scandals, Joey Wong left the entertainment industry, lived in seclusion abroad and has been single ever since, living a monastic life and no longer appearing in public.

As for Ta Linh Linh, leaving the wealthy family was the turning point that helped her completely transform, becoming a successful businesswoman, a billionaire thanks to smart and sharp real estate investments. The actress not only bought a house near the Lam family's old villa to conveniently take care of her children, but also learned business experience from her ex-mother-in-law.

The grudge between Xie Lingling and her "rival" Joey Wong has also gone with the wind. She chose to let go of her hatred, live a peaceful, successful and respected life, proving the "skill" and courage of an intelligent, strong woman who knows how to turn pain into motivation to rise up.

When talking about her love rival, Xie Lingling said she did not blame her, and even sympathized with Joey Wong for being betrayed by Lin Jianyue. The mother of five confided: "If I had the chance to meet her, I would hug her." At over 60 years old, she still retains her youthful beauty, lives happily with her successful children, and has not remarried.
