Okay, so I was digging into this Shelling Hwong guy, you know, just another boring afternoon. I started by checking what I could find on the internet about him. Turns out, this guy was quite something. He used to work for Nationalist China in Honolulu. Imagine that, a vice-consul! Born in Taiwan, and then he applied for naturalization on August 31.
Then I followed a lead, a real juicy one. This Shelling Hwong, he met this famous actress, Lisa Lu. They met, and boom, it was love. Though, nobody seems to know exactly how or where they met, but that’s not the important part. They clicked, fell for each other, and decided to get hitched.
Now, who is this Lisa Lu? I did some more searching. She’s a big deal, a Chinese-born American actress and singer, a real star. She even played in those Kunqu theatrical things, that’s some old-school Chinese opera stuff. Started young, too, as a teenager.
- Lisa Lu:
- Born in China.
- Actress and singer.
- Started career in Kunqu opera.
I found more, kept going down the rabbit hole. Lisa Lu, her real name is Lu Pingxiang. Born on January 19, 1927. This lady’s been around, seen a lot. She’s worked everywhere – Hong Kong, America, mainland China. She’s been in movies, TV shows, you name it. She even had some recurring role on a TV show back in ’61.
And get this, she’s also a trained opera singer! This woman’s got talent. And she’s Shelling Hwong’s widow. They had quite a life together, I bet. Sadly, he passed away and left her a widow.
So, there you have it. I started with a name, Shelling Hwong, and ended up learning about this amazing actress, Lisa Lu. It’s like peeling an onion, you know? One layer leads to another. That’s what made this whole search fun. Just a regular afternoon turned into a story of an actress, a diplomat, and their life together. That’s what I discovered, just by digging around. Quite the day, huh?
