Deng Chao and Sun Li on their love for L’Officiel

Deng Chao and Sun Li takes a busy break from their upcoming works - film "Painted Mural" plus a baby

Although the two has been legally married for year, actors Deng Chao and Sun Li’s wedding and announcement of a child in the comings brought at a smile love and marriage. Translation by genna@cfensi.

L’OFFICIEL: What do you both feel is the most important to learn and abide by in a marriage?
Sun Li: Love is between two people, while marriage is between two families. So, I feel you have to learn to trust and to have tolerance. Both husband and wife should be honest to each other; we use the same password for both of our email accounts. There are no secrets between us, but this causes some trouble at times, such as when we want to plan something romantic, it then becomes quite difficult.
Deng Chao: I don’t like the term ‘managing love’, to ‘manage’ is something you would have to do deliberately. As long as you’re willing to understand each other’s opinions and consider for their sake, that’s the best way for a married couple to get along.

Deng Chao and Sun Li officially married, to host wedding this year

April 26, 2011 | Posted in Mainland China,Relationships, Tagged , ,

On screen and off screen, Sun Li and Deng Chao help each other trust in love.

Actor Deng Chao revealed to the press that he and actress Sun Li had received their marriage certificate on his birthday in February last year, and hopes to have a wedding late this year. The two had previously filmed two series together – Happiness is like a flower 幸福像花儿一样 and Sweet 甜蜜蜜, and stars in the upcoming film Painted Mural 画壁 (a sequel to Painted Skin).

Sun Li said that because of her parents’ divorce, she had never believed in love before meeting Deng Chao. Deng Chao once dedicated a best actor award to Sun Li, saying that “It’s your love and support that allowed me to continue to bravely work in this field. I love you.”

Other than their good looks and innate charm, Deng Chao and Sun Li are two of the kindest artists around. Sun Li is already known for her helping stray pets, and Deng Chao has participated in numerous nonprofit works. Sun Li recalls that once, before they were dating, a driver in their production was hurt and the team decided to donate money to help pay for his hospital fees. Sun Li asked him how much he was going to donate. Deng Chao told her to wait, opened up his suitcase, took out all the money, kept a small bill for the cab back, and donated everything else.

Congratulations, Sun Li and Deng Chao!

While Deng Chao was in New Zealand, his girlfriend, actress Sun Li was posing for a magazine to raise animal rights awareness. She has been a continuous long-time advocate for ethical treatment of animals in China, trying to raise awareness through various projects. She teamed up with equestrian Alex Hua Tian, who represented China in the 2008 Olympics as the youngest event rider.  Their photoshoot for the magazine “The 5th Channel” showed images of her learning how to take care of his horse and he was photographed playing with her dogs. The exchange could be summed up by Sun Li’s statement: “All animals are friends of mankind, all deserve our care and concern, no matter if it is a stray dog or a purebred horse.”

Yu Xiaowei getting ambushed with questions about Gao YuanYuan

This was from maybe two weeks ago actually… I just haven’t had time to post it until now. While most news portals’ main attraction at this event was Yu Xiaowei ‘s appearance so they could ask him questions about his relationship with Gao Yuanyuan (which has received even more interest now after Xia Yu and Yuan Quan’s marriage), I just wanted to celebrate HOTSPOT, because despite it only having existed for two years and it only being a biweekly magazine, I’ve already grown to love it in contrast to Vogue or Elle in China.
