Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung celebrated Mother's Day by sharing a poignant reflection on her 18 years of motherhood through an intimate social media post featuring rare family moments.
The 44-year-old star, who co-parents two teenage sons—17-year-old Lucas and 14-year-old Quintus—with former husband Nicholas Tse, also privately welcomed her youngest child, Marcus, in 2018, who is now 7 years old.
In an emotional video shared on Xiaohongshu, Cheung expressed how rapidly time seemed to have passed since she first became a mother. She reflected that while the years had flown by quickly in both her roles as mother and daughter, the experience had been filled with happiness.
Cheung described the challenges of parenthood, noting that the most difficult aspect was aligning her perspective with her children's as they grew. She explained that parenting required her to revisit life's lessons alongside her sons, facing challenges and solving problems together. Despite this being familiar territory for her, she found the process rewarding and said she cherished this shared journey of growth.
The video compilation offered fans a rare look into Cheung's family life, carefully maintaining the privacy of his youngest son, Marcus, by keeping his face obscured. One touching moment showed the actress holding her youngest child while remarking that she would soon be unable to carry him as he grew. Other highlights included humorous interactions with her older sons—Lucas pretending to be disgusted after smelling raw fish and Quintus presenting her with roses while expressing his affection.
The post received overwhelmingly positive responses from netizens, with many praising Cheung's devotion to motherhood.
