| Sun Li Goes Lowkey in London – Buying Property, Enrolling Kids, and Maybe Exiting C-Ent? |
Looks like Chinese actress Sun Li (孙俪) might be entering a whole new chapter—far from the drama sets of Hengdian. While she’s stayed hush on any major announcements, netizens are abuzz with claims that Sun Li has quietly relocated to London, England with her family, setting down roots in the posh Kensington district.
According to online chatter, the Legend of Miyue star isn’t just holidaying in the UK. She’s apparently bought a luxury property in one of the capital’s most elite neighbourhoods and enrolled her two children in top-tier private schools. For someone who hasn’t signed onto any new acting projects recently, fans reckon this might not be a short trip—it could be a long-term move that’s been in the works for years.
A Plan Set in Motion Years Ago?

Fans who've been following Sun Li closely aren’t too surprised. Back in 2014, she quietly obtained Hong Kong citizenship and gave birth to her second child. That same year, she and husband Deng Chao (邓超) began steering their children’s education path away from China’s notoriously cutthroat gaokao system. Instead, the kids prepped for the Hong Kong DSE exams, a route often used by families eyeing top international universities.
It’s got fans piecing together the puzzle. “She planned this out ages ago,” one netizen wrote. “From the Hong Kong ID to the kids’ school system, everything points to this move.”
And it seems the whole family’s on board. Deng Chao has reportedly begun shifting his own career to more international-facing projects, though nothing’s officially confirmed. As for Sun Li herself, there’s no word yet on whether she’s fully stepping away from acting or just taking a breather abroad.
The London Bridge Post That Got Everyone Talking
What really set fans off was a recent social media post from Sun Li, featuring a side-by-side of two photos—both taken in front of London’s Tower Bridge. One was from her childhood, where she wore a bright red dress at age 13. The other, a current-day snap in a muted grey dress. “The bridge hasn’t changed much, and neither has her aura,” a fan commented.

The post hit fans right in the feels, sparking a flood of memories and speculation. Is she reminiscing? Hinting at something? Starting over? No one knows just yet.
Not a Goodbye… Just a See-You-Later?
For now, Sun Li’s staying silent on whether this move marks a full-on retirement or just a slower pace, travelling between England and China when work calls. Given her stature in the industry and her reputation for picking only meaningful projects, a hiatus wouldn't be out of character.
Still, fans are crossing fingers that this isn’t the end. “We don’t mind her taking time off, but don’t disappear completely!” one fan posted on Weibo. Others are just happy she’s seemingly found peace in a new chapter, saying: “She’s earned it.”
As the entertainment world waits for an official update, one thing’s clear—Sun Li’s not just acting out roles anymore, she’s writing her own script now.
