On April 7, Phu Hoa International Group issued an official announcement about the death of Tran Le Hoa - wife of "Duong Tang" Tri Trong Thuy - in Beijing, at the age of 85 after a period of treatment but did not survive.
According to statistics released by Hurun this year, Ms. Tran Le Hoa owns an estimated fortune of about 47 billion yuan (equivalent to more than 6.8 billion USD), ranking 12th in the list of the richest self-made female billionaires in the world. Her main business activities focus on real estate and the development of the Zitong Wood Museum.
Sina page commented that in the billionaire world, Tran Le Hoa has always been a prominent and influential name. In 2016, she held the position of the richest woman in China. Her success was associated with the construction of Changan Club - a high-class complex located near Tiananmen Square (Beijing), officially operating since 1996.
The passing of the famous businesswoman quickly attracted public attention, especially rumors surrounding the huge fortune she left behind and the inheritance of her second husband - Mr. Tri Trong Thuy.
Zhi Zhongrui is known as one of the actors who played Tang Sanzang in the classic version of "Journey to the West". In 1988, he met Ms. Chen Lihua - then a successful businesswoman (47 years old) who had gone through a broken marriage and had 3 children, and also owned assets worth hundreds of millions of USD.
Meanwhile, Tri Trong Thuy at the age of 36, is a famous actor and still single. The 11-year age difference and the large difference in living circumstances and social status have caused their relationship to face many doubts from public opinion, with many opinions that the male actor "married for money".
After getting married, Tri Trong Thuy withdrew from the entertainment industry to wholeheartedly support his wife's career, making the story of "Duong Tam Tang marrying a female billionaire" a topic of discussion for a long time. However, they have been together for more than three decades, building a solid marriage lasting 36 years.
After Ms. Tran Le Hoa passed away, a journalist who had the opportunity to interview her 3 times published a memorial article, depicting the image of a kind and culture-loving businesswoman. According to her sharing, she and Tri Trong Thuy came together from a common passion for Peking Opera and maintained a harmonious marriage, respecting each other for more than 30 years. Due to age factors, the two did not have a common child after getting married.
