The latest appearance of Feng Shaofeng and Zhao Liying‘s son has left the public astonished.
On August 22, Chinese news outlet Sohu reported that passersby spotted actor Feng Shaofeng taking his son, Jiang Jiang, to visit the Great Wall of China in Beijing. Sources state that Feng Shaofeng accompanied his son alone, leaving behind both his ex-wife Zhao Liying and his assistants. He held his son’s hand constantly to keep him safe in the crowd and patiently explained the history and architecture of the Great Wall to the young boy.
Casual images of the top C-drama actor and his son quickly attracted widespread attention. The boy’s appearance surprised and amazed many onlookers. Witnesses noted that Jiang Jiang looks very handsome and shares a stronger facial resemblance with his famous mother. Remarkably, at just 7 years old, Jiang Jiang boasts an impressive height that reaches his father’s chest, showing rapid growth compared to his peers (Baidu lists Feng Shaofeng’s height at 1.80m). Bystanders also described Jiang Jiang as bright, well-behaved, and adorable.
The father and son have enjoyed multiple outings during this summer break. On August 19, fans spotted Feng Shaofeng taking his son to Universal Studios Beijing. The two visited the Harry Potter-themed shop to pick out souvenirs and spent a full day having fun together. In recent years, alongside dropping off his son at school and attending school sports events, Feng Shaofeng frequently uses his free time to give Jiang Jiang new experiences. He previously took Jiang Jiang to Chengdu to explore local culture. Netizens praised Feng Shaofeng for prioritizing quality time with his son despite his demanding career.
Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng announced their marriage on October 16, 2018, which coincided with the actress’s birthday. The couple welcomed their first son in 2019 before officially announcing their divorce in April 2021. Rumors regarding their split speculated reasons such as infidelity or Zhao Liying not fitting into her in-laws’ family due to her humble background and lack of a university degree.
Feng Shaofeng assumed primary custody of their son, who currently lives with him and his paternal grandparents in Shanghai. According to Zhao Liying, she agreed to yield primary custody because Feng Shaofeng was in a stronger financial position. The family of The Legend of ShenLi star’s ex-husband is well known for its immense wealth in the textile industry, with Feng Shaofeng as the sole heir to the family fortune.
In Chinese showbiz, Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng are among the few former couples who maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship. After their divorce, they avoided public disputes and didn’t use their private life for attention. Instead, they focused on providing their son a normal childhood filled with love from both parents. The two share parenting responsibilities flexibly—when one is busy filming, the other takes over childcare duties.
