On June 7th, Chinese actress Sun Li took to Weibo to post a lengthy message commemorating her 15th wedding anniversary with her husband Deng Chao. In her post, she reflected on their life together, mentioning plans to grow old in Shanghai as a couple, dispelling rumors of a supposed relocation to London, UK.
Sun Li, born in Shanghai in 1982, wrote early in the morning of June 7th on Weibo: “Today is the anniversary of my marriage with Mr. Deng, it has been 15 years.” She shared that Deng Chao gave her a pair of tennis rackets this year and expressed how their life has become more routine – taking their child to school, going for a walk and having coffee together when they have spare time. She described their support for each other when one has work, ensuring the other can focus on their job without worry. Deng Chao commented with a string of rose emojis under Sun Li’s post.
Sun Li revealed that recently she and Deng Chao had conversations about life, death, and the future, emphasizing how they never shy away from discussing these topics. To them, understanding the impermanence of life makes them cherish the present moment even more. She specifically mentioned, “He talked about our life in old age that day, saying he really likes Shanghai, and our little home in Shanghai, we will grow old together here.”
This seemingly casual remark appeared to indirectly address the previous buzz surrounding the immigration rumors.
Last month, Sun Li posted two photos with London Bridge in the background, showing a comparison between the present and past. Recently, a well-known Weibo user claimed that Sun Li had relocated her whole family to London and had purchased property in an upscale residential area, with their two children attending prestigious local private schools, indicating a shift in focus towards life abroad. The news stirred public opinion, as Sun Li and Deng Chao did not immediately respond, fueling curiosity among the public.
There were also reports suggesting that Sun Li and Deng Chao had visited various universities in the UK multiple times in recent years with their two children, seemingly aiming to broaden their horizons. On May 12th, Sun Li even accompanied her daughter Xiao Hua to participate in a Latin dance competition in the UK, enthusiastically recording Xiao Hua winning the championship on her phone.
Some netizens noticed that Sun Li has been frequently seen in the UK in recent times, with each visit appearing to be quite extended. Some speculated that her latest TV drama “A Wonderful Life” was very successful, so as the lead actress, she would have been expected to actively promote it. However, she reportedly missed a seminar held in Beijing and flew to London instead. This led some to believe that Sun Li’s visits to the UK are not merely for leisure but possibly linked to long-term plans for her children’s future.
Sun Li has not officially addressed the migration rumors to the UK, but on their 15th wedding anniversary on June 7th, she not only shared affectionate messages about Deng Chao but also expressed their intention to “grow old together” in Shanghai. She also revealed that their 14-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter have found their passions and are working hard towards them, understanding that continuous practice and reflection are key to achieving their aspirations.
Public records show that Deng Chao and Sun Li met while filming the TV series “Happiness is like a Flower” in 2005, tied the knot in 2010, and have a son named “等等” and a daughter named “小花”, leading a happy family life. The couple has become a symbol of a loving couple in the Chinese entertainment industry, attracting significant attention with their every move.
