At the 81st Venice Film Festival, Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who served as a judge in the main competition section, walked the red carpet at the opening ceremony. She was accompanied by her daughter, who posed for a photo with French actress Isabelle Huppert and Australian actress Cate Blanchett. In a video released by Zhang Ziyi on Weibo on September 1st, her 8-year-old daughter appeared confident and poised, showing no signs of shyness.
Despite her busy schedule at the Venice Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi made time to be with her daughter, allowing her to gain exposure and broaden her horizons from a young age.
Known for frequently bringing her child to events, Zhang Ziyi took to the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival’s opening ceremony as a judge. At that time, her daughter, wearing sunglasses and a little red dress, followed behind her, holding a phone to take pictures, creating an adorable scene.
After walking the red carpet, Zhang Ziyi met with Isabelle Huppert and Cate Blanchett. The three international actresses, who are all distinguished in their own right, greeted each other warmly and posed for photos together. Isabelle Huppert, serving as the chairwoman of the jury, sat in the middle wearing a striking red dress, smiling gently; Zhang Ziyi and Cate Blanchett stood behind with their daughters, both showing joyful expressions.
In the face of such a moment, 8-year-old Zhang Ziyi’s daughter appeared unfazed, confidently striking poses in front of the camera and interacting with Cate Blanchett. Cate seemed fond of the young girl, looking at her affectionately and making gestures.
At 45 years old, Zhang Ziyi announced the end of her 8-year marriage to singer Wang Feng in October last year. It has been rumored that the couple takes care of their two children separately. Recently, she was photographed taking her children on an outing, enduring temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius while continuously taking photos of them with her phone, sparking discussions about her fully covered attire.
Zhang Ziyi often takes her children to movie-related events. In June this year, while speaking at a drama festival, her son suddenly shouted “mom” from the audience. Zhang Ziyi enthusiastically blew kisses in his direction, causing laughter throughout the crowd and revealing her son’s appearance to the public.
Not long ago, Zhang Ziyi also took her daughter to visit the filming location of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” where they both wore traditional Chinese clothing and hairstyles reminiscent of the film, dancing gracefully by the stream, resembling characters from a painting.
Many netizens have praised Zhang Ziyi for her dedication to educating her children. They admire her efforts to bring her child along even during work commitments, providing them with opportunities to broaden their horizons and nurture their self-confidence. She is lauded as a dedicated and loving mother who is conscientious in spiritually nurturing her daughter.
