On August 29th, the Qixi Festival, Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi shared a video on Weibo of celebrating the festival with her two children. The caption read, “Holding the hands of my children, exploring every corner of the world together. Every morning is precious, every evening is like Qixi.”
In the photo, Zhang Ziyi, wearing sunglasses and a sun hat, dressed in a black dress paired with a pink knitted cardigan, exuded elegance in her youthful attire. Netizens marveled at how Zhang Ziyi could still maintain a beautiful appearance while traveling with her children, expressing their admiration.
Zhang Ziyi’s 9-year-old daughter, “Xing Xing,” had her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a black dress matching her mother’s outfit. Her 5-year-old son was dressed in a pink outfit, looking handsome and cute. The picture of the mother and her two children together was heartwarming and full of love.
Additionally, Zhang Ziyi took her children to the zoo and went diving in the sea to explore the underwater world. “Xing Xing” wore a pink diving suit, looking as beautiful and lovely as a mermaid. In the video, Zhang Ziyi was seen playing and frolicking with her children by the sea, showing her youthful spirit and seemingly enjoying the moment more than the children themselves.
Some netizens commented, “The scene of Zhang Ziyi and Xing Xing diving hand in hand is so beautiful!” Others shared that Zhang Ziyi appeared to be preparing for an upcoming feature film she was about to direct, titled “Swimming Across the Coast for 100 Meters.”
Zhang Ziyi, who rarely shares photos of her son’s face, this time allowed the little handsome guy to appear on camera. The “little brother” made a cool hand gesture towards the camera. Although part of his face was covered by his hand, one could still see a resemblance to his mother, Zhang Ziyi.
At the age of 46, Zhang Ziyi divorced singer Wang Feng in 2023, ending their 8-year marriage. While it was rumored that the two children were taken care of separately by each parent, Zhang Ziyi was later spotted frequently bringing her children out together. Particularly noticeable was that whenever Zhang Ziyi took photos of her son, “Xing Xing” as the older sister would patiently stand by, smiling sweetly at her brother, indicating a close bond between the siblings.
Speaking of “Xing Xing’s” diligence, Wang Feng once praised his daughter during an interview, calling her a top student. He mentioned that “Xing Xing” was very diligent in her studies, not needing adults to worry about her. She would actively complete school assignments after school, happily learn extracurricular knowledge, and always had to be forced by adults to take breaks. Some netizens admired and exclaimed, “The ambition in learning of ‘Xing Xing’ must have been inherited from her mother, Zhang Ziyi!”
Zhang Ziyi, known as “International Zhang,” has won numerous international film awards and is a multiple winner of Chinese film awards such as the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan. Since becoming single again, she has shifted her focus to her career. Despite frequent appearances at film and television events, seemingly to compensate for the decreased workload after becoming a mother, she has never neglected spending time with her children. She is widely regarded as a very dedicated mother.
