Zhao Wei Hasn't Made a Comeback Yet, But Her Daughter is Breaking Through With Her Looks

Although Chinese actress Zhao Wei has faded from the limelight for years, the world has never forgotten her. Recently, she’s been pushed to the edge of trending topics again—this time, it’s because her ‘daughter is stealing the spotlight’. Having divorced her wealthy ex-husband Huang Youlong years ago, Zhao Wei has placed all her focus on her only daughter, 'Little April'. As it turns out, this 15-year-old star kid’s debut immediately overshadowed her mother’s buzz.

Recently, Little April posted new photos on Xiaohongshu with great fanfare. She looks nothing like an ordinary middle school student: an oval face, high nose bridge, sharp chin, and long, slightly wavy hair flipped back—the vibes are full blast. Netizens couldn’t stop raving: 'She’s basically trainee level,' 'The next visual ace of a girl group.' Even more remarkably, everyone agrees—she really looks nothing like Zhao Wei. The comments section held nothing back: 'Did her genes get swapped?' 'She’s not the Little Swallow* type at all,' 'This looks more like a chaebol heiress,' as discussions heated up.

The extent of Zhao Wei's pampering of her daughter has earned her the title of 'low-key tycoon drama in real life' among netizens. Born in Singapore in 2010, Little April attended a top international school in Hong Kong for primary school, and was later reported to have transferred to a prestigious aristocratic boarding school in Switzerland for secondary school, where the annual tuition easily reaches hundreds of thousands of RMB—not including living expenses. Judging from the exposed photos, Little April has a slender frame and impressive proportions, with netizens estimating her height to be close to 170cm—firmly the type to 'get scouted wherever she goes.'

On the other hand, Zhao Wei herself finds herself in a rather awkward situation. Since being blacklisted as a 'tainted celebrity' without warning in August 2021, she’s been banned for four and a half years now, with the reasons remaining mysterious and no chance for a comeback. Over the past few years, she has continuously tried to test the waters, posting and engaging in various ways, but with limited results. Just recently, she managed to appear on livestream, only for the feed to be cut off immediately, as if she’s 'muted the moment she appears,' making outsiders break a sweat for her.
