LayarHijau – Chinese actor Zhang Wanyi became the center of online discussion on Saturday, November 8, 2025, after his remarks about marriage and age went viral on Weibo. He quickly climbed to the top of the trending and hot search lists with the hashtags #31岁张晚意焦虑晚婚晚育# and #张晚意比李沁还着急#.
The video circulating on Weibo was not an actual recording of the conversation but a compilation featuring clips of Zhang Wanyi’s appearances and several photos, overlaid with the audio of his chat with veteran singer Na Ying. In the audio, Zhang Wanyi candidly shared his anxiety about being 31 years old while most of his peers were already married with children.

“I feel like I’m getting married late,” he said, explaining that his parents were already older when they had him, so their time together was relatively short. Zhang Wanyi also expressed concern that if he delays marriage and having children much longer, the next generation will grow too distant from their grandparents. “It’ll be like a whole generation apart,” he admitted.
Na Ying comforted him, replying, “You’re only 31. If fate has arranged for you to marry and have kids later, don’t force it.”
Although the show’s name was not mentioned in the posts, netizens quickly recognized it as Divas Hit the Road Season 7, featuring Zhang Wanyi alongside Gong Jun, Ma Sichun, Na Ying, Chen Su, and Li Qin.
Zhang Wanyi’s honest reflections struck a chord with many Weibo users. Some praised his sincerity, while others said his comments reflect the social pressure that many men and women in their 30s face in China.
Zhang Wanyi’s Dating Rumors
Zhang Wanyi’s growing fame has also kept his personal life under constant scrutiny. Earlier this year, he was rumored to be dating actress Xu Hao after both posted photos of glutinous rice balls (tangyuan) on the same day, with matching IP locations in Yunnan.
However, his studio clarified that the photos were taken during the Lantern Festival celebration with the filming crew, denying any romantic relationship between the two. So far, no official confirmation has been made about the actor’s relationship status.
Zhang Wanyi had also been linked to other names such as Yang Xue’er and influencer Houzi Xin, though none of those rumors were ever proven true.
Known for keeping his private life out of the spotlight, Zhang Wanyi usually talks more about his craft and his views on family—an openness that once again resonated with many fans through this discussion about age and marriage.
