Cecil Chao, the billionaire owner of Cheuk Nang Holdings Ltd., offers a large sum of money to any man who can persuade his daughter to marry him. You might believe that there has already been that person who managed to persuade Gigi, Chao’s daughter, to marry him. However, we have received only 20,000 negative responses to date, with not a single positive response. Why? Continue reading.
Gigi has been in a lesbian relationship with a woman named Sean Eve for over ten years. And it is natural for Cecil Chao, as a parent and father, to want his child to be happy. This is what prompted him to offer his daughter a dowry of 40 million US dollars, and after 20 thousand unsuccessful offers, he decided to increase the amount to 180 million. Cecil is confident that money will one day do its job and serve as a key to Gigi’s epiphany.
The daughter refuses to give in to her father’s whims and marry a man who will choose her solely for money, leaving Shona alone. Cecil says in an interview, “I don’t want to interfere in my daughter’s personal life; I just want her to have a happy marriage, children, and to inherit my business later.” He believes that Gigi still has plenty of time to change her sexual orientation and find happiness with a man who will help her run their family business.
In response to her father’s dowry price increase, Gigi published a letter in one of Hong Kong’s newspapers, in which she stated: “Dad believes it is simple to transition from homosexuals to heterosexuals. So I suppose I should just let him figure it out for himself. “I believe I will marry a man when he marries a man.”
It’s natural for Gigi that her father has no idea what happiness is for her, and that she has no intention of changing her sexual orientation to fulfill her father’s hopes and dreams.
She continued in her letter, writing: “I’m sorry if I led you to believe that I chose a lesbian relationship solely because there are so few real men in Hong Kong. There are many wonderful men in Hong Kong; they are just not for me.”Gigi has made it abundantly clear to the public that she is content with who she is and with the person she is with now, and that she knows exactly what she wants to do with her life.
“The rich are crying, too,” as the story goes. However, Cecil Chao’s relationship with her daughter is an example of where parents’ misunderstanding of children can lead. If you truly love your child, regardless of who they are or who they want to be, you should support and understand him in his endeavors — even if they appear to you to be wrong at first glance.
