According to Chinese media on the 23rd, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng announced their divorce on Weibo, saying, “After careful consideration and discussion, we have decided to end our marriage after eight years of marriage.” They said, “We will continue to raise and accompany our children together as family members. “I will remain as the children’s most trusted parent,” he emphasized.
Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng have one son and one daughter. It was decided that her daughter would be raised by Wang Feng and her son by Zhang Ziyi.
He added, “We had a great marriage together. There is no fight about right and wrong between the two. Even if you divorce, you will not abandon or betray your partner. “This is a decision we made together, so I hope you understand and support it,” he added.
