The intense 2025 college entrance examination officially concluded on June 10th!
Summer vacation is also approaching.
At this time every year, television screens seem to be under a nostalgic spell, with classic dramas making a comeback one after another.
In addition to the annual reruns of Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber, one drama undeniably remains a "fixture" of the summer slot—the iconic palace drama, Empresses in the Palace!
Lan Shajun has noticed an interesting phenomenon.
Netizens enjoy revisiting Empresses in the Palace from time to time, and the drama never fails to deliver fresh humor and discoveries with each viewing.
Sun Li's portrayal of the protagonist, Zhen Huan, has created one iconic scene after another, earning the nickname "meme generator."
Take the recent viral meme featuring the line "If the wind understands, spare the blossoms," where netizens imitate Zhen Huan's pose of clasping hands together, standing under a plum tree with eyes lifted upward.
The more famous Zhen Huan becomes, the more rumors swirl.
Recently, actress Sun Li has been embroiled in rumors of relocating her family to the UK.
Hong Kong media reported that Sun Li has purchased a luxurious mansion in London's affluent Kensington area. Furthermore, her children have successfully enrolled in local private schools.
Delving deeper, it was revealed that Sun Li began laying the groundwork for this move a decade ago through the Hong Kong Quality Migrant Admission Scheme.
In 2014, Sun Li and her husband obtained Hong Kong residency via the Hong Kong Talent Admission Scheme. The following year, their daughter, Xiao Hua, was born in Hong Kong, automatically acquiring Hong Kong citizenship.
This strategy holds significant advantages, as Hong Kong residency offers educational shortcuts.
With Hong Kong residency, children can take the HKDSE (Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination), which opens doors to top universities in the UK, US, and beyond.
Additionally, they can participate in the Huaqiao Student Union Exam, a less competitive pathway compared to the fiercely competitive gaokao (national college entrance exam), allowing them to secure places in prestigious Chinese universities like 985 institutions with lower scores.
The news sparked heated debates online: some criticized "making money in China but spending overseas," while others empathized with "elite families' educational choices," arguing that high-income households commonly send their children abroad.
On June 7th, coinciding with her and Deng Chao's wedding anniversary, Sun Li published a heartfelt letter reflecting on their 15-year journey together.
She wrote, "I love our cozy Shanghai home; we'll grow old here together," subtly addressing the rumors.
Netizens breathed a sigh of relief, as no one wishes for a talented artist to leave the motherland.
The rumor also shifted focus to the UK, with media outlets speculating about the reasons behind the Sun family's choice.
Most analyses point to educational planning, suggesting that celebrity high-income families aim to bypass the intense gaokao competition and opt for overseas education systems that emphasize personalized development.
