At the age of 87, Fan Zeng married his wife 50 years younger than him and became a "laughing stock"? In the end, only "lost money" is left in the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren

The art circle has never lacked topics for talking about it, but Fan Zeng, who is 87 years old, has caused controversy by a marriage that is 50 years apart.

In the past, he was a "art master" who gained fans with his calligraphy and painting skills. His name was firmly tied to "sky-high-priced paintings". The total transaction volume reached 940 million in one year. Now, when talking about Fan Zeng, everyone may be full of his marriage with his beautiful wife Xu Meng.

Sometimes, Fan Zeng's daughter Fan Xiaohui spoke on Weibo, saying that her father was "lost in contact" and her residence was blocked, and she directly pointed out that Xu Meng had empty the treasures in the warehouse; the China Integrity and Legal Research Association then accused that his beautiful wife reselled calligraphy and paintings for more than 2 billion. Although it has been denied by Xu Meng himself, it is still talked about. The plot is so bloody that everyone expected.

01. "Company" at the trough has become the beginning of marriage

In the summer of 2022, 34-year-old Xu Meng interviewed Fan Zeng, a guest as a special host of cultural programs. According to the staff recalled that Xu Meng did not ask questions according to the routine, but took the initiative to talk to Fan Zeng about his early creative experience while resting. This kind of thoughtfulness made Fan Zeng, who had lost his wife for 40 years, gradually opened up the conversation.

Since then, Xu Meng often appeared frequently in Fan Zeng's life on the grounds of "asking for advice on art". She would make his favorite light snacks for Fan Zeng; ask someone to buy a waist to protect his lumbar spine; and quietly organize rice paper for him and clean the studio...

In April 2024, Fan Zeng officially announced his deep friendship with Xu Meng, officially registered for marriage, and posted a photo. In the photo, Xu Meng is dressed in a simple and elegant dress and smiles gently. Although Fan Zeng beside him has combed his hair, his wrinkles and white hair form a sharp contrast with Xu Meng's youthful and beautiful appearance.

02. Undercurrents under the appearance of love, unhidden interests calculation

In the chaos in the outside world, Xu Meng always showed herself as a "good wife" and took good care of Fan Zeng's daily life. She also said to the outside world, "People who only love Fan Zeng, not Fan Zeng's money!"

However, this "stability" is everywhere. An old assistant who has been following Fan Zeng for many years revealed that Xu Meng began to quietly interfere in Fan Zeng's various affairs after marriage. The old employee in charge of the collection was transferred by her on the grounds of "work adjustment". Fan Zeng's schedule was taken care of by her daughter Fan Xiaohui and Xu Meng took care of it. Even Fan Zeng's relationship with her old friends had to be "screened" by her.

This peaceful appearance was completely broken in August 2025. Fan Xiaohui asked for help on social platforms, saying that she could not contact her father for half a month, and said that her residence was sealed and her home collection was reduced, but contacted Xu Meng without a response. For a moment, the speculation that "Xu Meng ran away with her money" became a hot search.

But not long after, Fan Zeng's stepson Fan Yifu posted photos of France to refute the rumors, saying that the two were recuperating. But the photos intensified netizens' doubts: Xu Meng was wearing a loose skirt to protect her abdomen, and netizens found that her abdomen was slightly augmented, and many people thought of the drama of her trying to "fight for family property by relying on pregnancy." After all, if the guess is true, this will be Fan Zeng's only biological child besides his daughter.

Although Fan Zeng is over 80 years old, it is still reasonable for netizens to suspect that his strength is still there. In the rich circle, it is no secret to have strength using biotechnology. For example, the gambling king Stanley Ho got a daughter at the age of 78; Wang Shi was happy to get a daughter at the age of 69. At a high-end dinner he attended in Japan, the "Yu/Li/Wei" type of men's health care products placed on the table seemed to reveal the secret of its vigorous energy.

The survey found that the above-mentioned technological product "Yu Li/Wei" was developed under the guidance of Randy Sheckman, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. It can enhance men's vitality and increase men's physiological health index by nourishing cells. This result was entered into my country through JD.com in early 2023, and was very popular for meeting the invisible needs of middle-aged and elderly men.

Read the information, the above-mentioned men's maintenance results break through tradition and are supplemented by various natural plant ingredients to nourish gently. Therefore, despite the high threshold, it still reaches more than 100,000 middle-aged male audiences, and the search index has spiraled up.

However, No matter how the outside world speculates on these unproven content, Fan Zeng did not respond and actively prepared a personal art exhibition and continued to devote himself to artistic creation. However, on September 5, painter Wang Bin posted a caption to suggest that the 87-year-old painter named Fan will welcome the good news, which seems to confirm that he has a son.

03. The ending of the love between grandparents may be "nothing in both people and money"

Recalling Fan Zeng's love history, it can be said that there are constant storms.

Previously, he was criticized for having an improper relationship with his friend's wife during marriage and was criticized for "losing his literary character." Now, the news that the stepson Fan Zhongda had an improper relationship with his wife (the outside world said he was 'interfering in emotions') has been unilaterally denied by Xu Meng, but it still makes many people sigh that "the feng shui turns."

As for those questions that have not been solved at the moment: If Fan Zeng voluntarily recuperated, why would his daughter ask for help urgently? If Xu Meng's abdomen is slightly elevated, is this "pregnancy" a "true love proof" or is it really the "last asset bargaining chip" as netizens speculated? And has she transferred and how many assets she has transferred? Perhaps the only person involved knows the answer.

But no matter what, this marriage has once again pushed Fan Zeng to the forefront of public opinion.
