My name is Esabelle Chen, and I am a tall beauty with a height of 1.76 meters.

I am a mixed race of Caucasian and Chinese descent, absorbing the strengths of both parents. The natural curls of the black shawl, the straight and straight nose bridge, the big eyes, the deep sunken eye sockets, the black and shiny eyes, and the fair and delicate skin. From a very young age, I was known in my social circle for a good education and unparalleled beauty.

My father was a business tycoon, known as the "World Ship King" when he was young, and later entered the media and film industries, becoming the famous "Media King" and film industry tycoon. Of course, his business is much more than that. He owns one of the largest business empires in the world. For more than 20 years, his personal wealth has always ranked before the top 20 in the world, and he has survived several global economic crises. Many business magazines and business schools are singing the classic cases of his business activities, and he is considered a miracle of global business and a model of businessman.

My father married very late, and before that, his life was full of all sorts of unbelievable adventures. He has flown the space shuttle, he has been to the space station himself, he can fly a fighter jet, he has sailed a sailboat across the Atlantic, he has been to Antarctica, he has climbed Mount Everest in the Himalayas, he has traveled alone in a hot air balloon across the South American continent, he has sniped armed smugglers who poached elephants in Africa, and he has searched for the mysterious relics of the ancient Khmer kingdom in the tropical jungles of Cambodia. In short, any adventure you can think of, he seems to have tried.

When I was 41 years old, my father met my mother. My mother was only 21 years old at the time and was a well-known fine art model. Many famous modernist painters have painted all sides of her body. She is a typical oriental beauty in the eyes of Westerners: demure, dignified, shy, gentle, literate, etiquette, cherry mouthful, soft-spoken, standing without shaking her skirt, and smiling without showing her teeth. When my father was at an auction of a famous artist's paintings, he saw my mother in oil and was completely captivated by her charm. He went to great lengths to invite the painter to dinner, got my mother's contacts, and saw more paintings with my mother as the main character.

In the dim light, in the old oriental-style building, my mother was either dressed in a cheongsam or a purple lotus kimono, quietly shaking a fan, arranging the family's clothes, looking up at the moon on the porch, and arranging her hair and sideburns by the pond.

She was so beautiful that my father decided to chase her with all his passion.

Next, there is a 2-year romantic love story.

My mother was not a casual woman. Her family is from a good background, and her ancestors have been a Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty for three generations, and even a champion. The ancestors of all dynasties were officials in the dynasty until the Republic of China was driven out of the mainland and fled to Taiwan. Before the Kuomintang retreated, one of her seniors supported his superiors in a peaceful uprising and defected to the Communist Party, ensuring that the cultural and historical city could peacefully transition power and avoid the devastation of war. He was the chief's secretary at the time. Together with the underground Communist Party organizations, he repeatedly foiled the plots of the agents of the Central and Military Commands to murder the commander and sabotage the peaceful uprising, and made immortal contributions to the preservation of the city's historical relics. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this senior has been a diplomat, serving as a military attaché, ambassador, and special envoy abroad for a long time, and has also worked in the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My mother was born in a time of great social turmoil and change, but her family had always been relatively peaceful, and her life was solid and stable. My mother received a good education as a woman of a family, and she was elegant and noble, and she was very knowledgeable. The reason why she went to be an art model was not because of the high income of models, but because of the opportunities that models could have in contact with many famous painters. She loves art, has an excellent appreciation for art, and her art works are also famous.

My father's fierce pursuit made my mother feel shy and surprised. She had always been friendly and courteous with my father, but she was slow to agree to his proposal.

Under the influence of my mother's charm, my father gradually changed his wild and unrestrained cowboy life and slowly became a polite and noble gentleman.

He stopped all Meng Lang's adventures and became conformist, gentle and modest.

He was even baptized and became a devout believer in the Christian Baptist Church.

He even began to learn Chinese guqin and calligraphy, could play "Mountains and Flowing Water", "Yangguan Three Stacks", copied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and could write "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and "Yueyang Lou Ji" with a beautiful hand.

My mother taught him to learn classical Chinese, and his daily attire changed to a Chinese loose silk gown and cloth shoes, and he often held a folding fan in his hand.

His change surprised all his friends.

Strong love can indeed reshape a person's character, like a complete new birth.

My father's change finally won my mother's respect and trust.

On my father's 44th birthday, they finally walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand, and had a grand wedding in the church.

I was born when my father was 45 years old.

I immediately became my father's jewel in my father's palm and a priceless treasure that my parents cherished in the world.

I was born with a golden key.

In the year I was born, my father was awarded the title of Earl by the Queen of England and the glorious Knight of the Order of the Garter for a special contribution to the British Government.

I became the heiress of the earl's title and became one of the nobles of Europe.

Privately, my close friends called me "The Little Countess".

I grew up in one of my father's castles, accompanied by a housekeeper, a nanny, a private tutor, a girl from an equally well-born and innocent family, received the purest and strictest aristocratic education, and from an early age mastered many European languages and, of course, my mother's mother tongue: Chinese.

When I was 6 years old, my mother was diagnosed with cancer.

It was a bolt from the blue. My father was completely unprepared to end his loving life with my mother. At that time, he was still dreaming of growing old together.

The news almost broke him.

He stopped what he was doing and accompanied my mother around the world in search of cures.

He did not hesitate to give all his wealth in exchange for his mother's recovery.

However, although there are many excellent doctors in the world, there is no doctor who can cure death.

My mother's illness was in remission for a while, and our family spent 8 months in Switzerland. The affection between my parents has reached the height of an enviable fairy couple. And those 8 months of happiness have become the best childhood memories of my life.
