Chinese actress Dong Xuan was previously married to Gao Yunxiang, divorcing in 2019. Six years later, she recently made a high-profile announcement of her remarriage to actor Zhang Weiyi. The news immediately sparked heated discussion on Weibo. Her close friend Tong Liya made a surprise appearance as bridesmaid—Dong Xuan, dressed in a white wedding gown with a beaming smile, while Tong Liya appeared in a new-style traditional Chinese dress, looking elegant and becoming one of the most eye-catching bridesmaids. The bridesmaids group included, besides Tong Liya, Tong Dawei’s wife Guan Yue and several friends from outside the industry. As for the groomsmen group, it was composed of comedians Zuo Lingfeng, Liu Tong, and others.
In fact, Dong Xuan and Tong Liya first met in 2009 through a collaboration. The two share a similar appearance and have often been mistaken for twins. In private, they even refer to each other as 'sisters without blood ties.' Their bond runs deep—even their children, 'Duoduo' and 'Little Dimples,' have been classmates from kindergarten through elementary school and are as close as one family. Each other's children even call the other mother 'mom,' showing the extraordinary closeness between the two families.
Dong Xuan has experienced a marriage before, and Tong Liya also divorced director Chen Sicheng. Back then, both were at a low point in life, leaning on each other to get through tough times. Dong Xuan once revealed that her decision to remarry had a huge impact on Tong Liya: 'When she saw me find happiness again, she began to believe in love once more.' Tong Liya also laughed and said that originally her 'heart was sealed in cement,' but now she has been moved again. However, there are still traditionalists online who believe that 'divorced women being bridesmaids is unlucky.' Fortunately, most netizens support their genuine friendship, thinking that 'the bond between sisters is what matters most.'
