Recently Liu Chunqing close to 70 was rumored to have a new child, which triggered heated discussion about his relationship with ex-wife Yang Liping, leading people to rethink traditional relationship and life patterns.
Is Liu Chunqing Going to Become a Father Again?
Liu Chunqing, who is nearing 70, has recently been rumored to have welcomed another son; most of the sources for this news are long-time residents living near Yang Liping’s residence.Some have frequently seen him heading toward the apartment building where Yang Liping lives, always carrying health supplements and warm clothing—a level of care that rivals that given to a family member.Others have noticed a keychain with a tiger design clipped to his belt—a type of accessory often chosen by families who have just welcomed a new baby.
Neighbors are privately speculating and wondering whether the two are truly about to welcome a child in their later years.
Few people remember that Liu Chunqing and Yang Liping had already ended their marriage back in the last century, and they have been separated for over two decades now.The two were married in Las Vegas in 1995. At the time, Liu Chunqing was a wealthy businessman from Taiwan who had spent a full five years courting Yang Liping. At the wedding, he publicly promised that Yang Liping would only need to focus on her dance career, while he would take full responsibility for all household matters, both inside and outside the home.In 2002, the couple quietly finalized their divorce. The entire process was free of conflict or property disputes. When asked by the public, both parties simply cited “incompatibility” as the reason and never uttered a single negative word about each other.
After this past chapter resurfaced, many people learned for the first time that the two had parted ways amicably back then, without any sensational drama or feuds—dispelling half of the lingering speculation.
Later, when Yang Liping was preparing the large-scale dance drama *Impressions of Yunnan*, she faced a severe funding shortfall—her account balance wasn’t even enough to purchase basic props—and the dance troupe was on the verge of disbanding. At that time, the first person to transfer funds to support her was none other than Liu Chunqing, her ex-husband.He also personally handled various matters, such as securing venues and coordinating personnel, working tirelessly for over half a year. Throughout the entire process, he never mentioned their past relationship nor made any requests to remarry.
To continue offering such wholehearted support even after a
divorce—a level of devotion rarely seen—once again touched the hearts of many. What’s
even more noteworthy is that, in the nearly twenty years since their divorce, publicly available records show no evidence that Liu Chunqing has ever had children with anyone else.In 2010, the two quietly reconciled, and by 2025, Liu Chunqing had simply moved in next door to Yang Liping’s residence, helping with all sorts of daily chores. Now, Yang Liping can focus entirely on rehearsing new dances at the theater,as all business dealings and administrative tasks are handled by Liu Chunqing. Their relationship is more relaxed and at ease than that of most legally married couples.
It was only then that people realized the two had been steadfastly together for many years, that the numerous rumors circulating were unfounded, and that their concerns were finally put to rest.
Most people, having lived half their lives, have long held the fixed belief that marriage must be backed by a marriage certificate to be legitimate, and that life must include the experience of having children to be considered complete.But looking at the relationship between Liu Chunqing and Yang Liping—Liu has quietly stood by Yang’s side for nearly four decades. Even at the very moment when he might have sought legal recognition, he consistently prioritized not hindering her career and never once took the initiative to ask for a legitimate, official status.
Whether this relationship—which transcends traditional societal norms—reflects the wisdom gained from life experience or represents a choice that others find difficult to understand, each person likely has their own answer.
