Chinese actress Zhao Liying, who got married to actor Feng Shaofeng in 2018 and gave birth to their son “Xiang Xiang,” has been recently spotted spending time with her son amidst her busy schedule. Despite the custody rights belonging to the father, Zhao Liying has been making efforts to spend quality time with her son.
On September 19, the media captured photos of Zhao Liying and her 6-year-old son Xiang Xiang out shopping with a nanny. The trio was seen waiting to cross the street, with Xiang Xiang being closely protected in the middle. Zhao Liying, wearing a mask, a casual white printed t-shirt paired with loose gray pants and a pink baseball cap, interacted affectionately with her son while waiting to cross the street, highlighting their natural and intimate mother-son bond.
The images quickly went viral online, attracting attention and causing Zhao Liying to address the public on Weibo. She requested media outlets to refrain from focusing their cameras on minors, emphasizing the importance of protecting children’s privacy in the public eye. Zhao Liying emphasized that being a mother is one of her life roles, and it’s essential for every mother to accompany her child’s growth journey.
Since Xiang Xiang’s birth, Zhao Liying has maintained a low profile, never actively exposing her son’s face to the public. She always shields her son’s face with her body or a hat whenever they are photographed. Despite her efforts to keep a low profile, she has been frequently caught on camera interacting with her son. This recent incident marks the sixth time this year that Zhao Liying’s motherly moments have been captured by the media, prompting her to appeal for respecting her child’s space from external disturbances.
In the midst of her public plea, it’s evident that Zhao Liying strives to navigate her role as a mother while protecting her son’s privacy in the spotlight.
