Zhao Liying won the Best Actress award at the Feitian Awards for her role as “Xu Banxia” in the drama “Half a Summer” not long ago. On the night of the 20th, she once again won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress. During her acceptance speech, she expressed that “Xu Banxia” is her “life role” that appeared when she was most lost, bringing back her confidence in life and work.
One month ago, Zhao Liying’s victory at the Feitian Awards made headlines with “Change in the ’85’ Flower Grid.” A month later, she defeated Tang Yan from “The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion” and Zhou Xun from “Imperfect Victim” to reclaim the title, marking her second Golden Eagle Award win after “The Journey of Flower” in 2016. Donning a white evening gown, she gracefully walked onto the stage to deliver her award acceptance speech: “I had hoped to be calm while receiving the award, but I am truly excited inside.”
Zhao Liying’s repeated success has earned her the title of the “outstanding actress among the post-85s generation.” However, what caught the attention of netizens more recently was Zhao Liying’s heartwarming moment with her son “Xiang Xiang.” Celebrating her 37th birthday not long ago, she was spotted taking her son out for a meal, displaying a scene filled with love between mother and child.
In the photos shared on Weibo, Zhao Liying was dressed in a casual style with a baseball cap, white cardigan, and loose-fitting pants. Her son “Xiang Xiang” wore a matching white top and joyfully bounded ahead of Zhao Liying. While waiting for their ride, Zhao Liying carried her son and even let him sit on her lap, showcasing an overflowing display of maternal love. Netizens praised her as a role model for career-oriented women.
Since her debut, Zhao Liying has starred in popular TV dramas such as “The Journey of Flower,” “Princess Agents,” and “The Story of Minglan.” As a proclaimed “queen of ratings” in Chinese dramas, she transitioned from an idol drama actress to a powerhouse female star with the release of series like “Half a Summer Wind Blows” and “Happiness Over Two Lifetimes” in 2022.
In the past, Zhao Liying was romantically involved and married to Feng Shaofeng while working together on “The Story of Minglan.” However, their marriage did not last for more than 3 years before announcing their divorce. Despite having a busy work schedule, she is often seen devoting her full attention to her son during their time together, rather than being engrossed in technology and childcare. Each time they reunite, she is seen wholeheartedly focusing on her son’s company.
