On May 4th, mainland Chinese actress Sun Li shared a photo on Weibo celebrating her daughter “Xiao Hua’s” 10th birthday, along with a heartfelt message expressing her love and blessings for her daughter. In the photo, Sun Li and Deng Chao are seen kissing their daughter’s face, causing it to distort, making it impossible to clearly see the lovely appearance of “Xiao Hua”.
Sun Li wrote in her post that her 10-year-old “Xiao Hua” was full of emotions this year. When Sun Li asked her if she was looking forward to her birthday this year, she candidly expressed both anticipation and reluctance, saying, “After this birthday, all my birthdays will be two-digit numbers, no longer single digits,” which made Sun Li feel a bit sentimental. It is evident that facing the growth of children, parents are truly conflicted; wanting them to grow up quickly yet not too fast.
At 41 years old, Sun Li reflected on how her daughter has grown up. She mentioned that this summer, “Xiao Hua” has already planned to attend a summer camp with her friends. In the past, Sun Li used to accompany her children on trips, but now “Xiao Hua” is going alone, which worries Sun Li a little. However, the increasingly mature “Xiao Hua” not only prepared a gift for her mother on her birthday but also said to Sun Li, “Ten years ago today, Mom worked hard.”
Sun Li and Deng Chao have been married for 14 years and have two children, a happy family of four. Now that “Xiao Hua” is 10 years old and her brother “Deng Deng” is almost 13, the children are gradually growing up, making Sun Li feel “a bit emotional”.
Recalling the warm daily life with Deng Chao and the children, Sun Li mentioned that both she and Deng Chao are strong-willed individuals who cherish their freedom, yet they are deeply bound by this family. She revealed that Deng Chao, who used to love excitement and playing, now insists on coming home if his business trips exceed two days.
Sun Li concluded her post by saying, “As children grow day by day, we grow older. In the river of life, we should leave more beauty for each other.” The final sentence, “Xiao Hua, happy birthday,” expresses her deep affection for her daughter.
In the photo, “Xiao Hua” sits obediently in the middle, with Deng Chao and Sun Li holding birthday number balloons for their daughter. Just like in previous years, the couple sandwich their daughter and kiss her, distorting “Xiao Hua’s” face, seemingly not allowing her to truly “reveal” her face.
Upon seeing Sun Li’s post and photos on Weibo, many netizens were moved, commenting that the annual family tradition of kissing photos is indispensable. In addition to wishing “Xiao Hua” a happy 10th birthday, they also left messages wishing “the best super dad, the best Li mom, the most loving family, to always be happy”.
