Chinese actor Zhang Wanyi recently got candid about his thoughts on marriage during a TV show aired on 8 November, revealing a surprisingly honest and emotional side that resonated deeply with viewers.
The Lost You Forever star, now 31 years old, admitted that seeing his friends settle down and start families has made him reflect on his own life path.
“Many of my friends are already married and have kids. I feel like I’m getting married a bit late,” he said with a small laugh, showing both warmth and sincerity.
Veteran singer Na Ying, who was also present on the show, immediately offered comforting words.
“You’re only 31! If your fate comes a bit later, let it be. Don’t force yourself,” she told him — a moment that drew smiles from the audience.

Zhang Wanyi went on to explain that his parents were already quite mature when they had him, and that has influenced how he views his future.

“If I marry late and have children late too, my kids might not get to spend much time with their grandparents,” he said honestly.
“It feels like we’re one generation apart.”
It was a raw, genuine moment — one that revealed a thoughtful side of the actor beyond his calm on-screen image.
