| Shawn Zhang Defends His Marriage to Christy Chung Against Criticism |
Shawn Zhang recently found himself at the centre of a media storm after rumours began circulating about the motivations behind his marriage to actress Christy Chung.
The speculation was sparked when a netizen directly questioned the Chinese actor during a live broadcast, asking if he was only interested in Christy for her wealth.
Shawn Zhang, known for his calm but firm demeanor, wasted no time in addressing the comment.
He pointed out how unfair it was for anyone to use his wife’s professional success as a means to question the sincerity of their relationship.

"Is it really wrong if my wife is more successful and stronger in her career?" he asked rhetorically, turning the question back on those who dared to judge.
He then went further, challenging the public’s assumptions: "Does this mean that if a man earns more than his partner, the woman is simply 'living off him'? Is that what you think of all women in such relationships?"
Not stopping there, Shawn Zhang also took the opportunity to highlight the double standards often present in society, particularly when it comes to relationships with age differences.
"When men are older than their wives, it's seen as normal, but when the woman is older, it's called inappropriate. Why is that?" he questioned.

For those not familiar, Christy Chung is a highly successful actress who rose to fame with her striking roles in films like Kung Fu Hustle and The Legend of the White Snake.
