According to Chinese media, after 14 years of divorce from Nicholas Tse, Cecilia Cheung raised two sons alone and became a "model textbook for single families".
In 2011, when the marriage between Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung came to an end, almost no one believed that the female star would raise two young children alone, and then train them to become excellent students.
18-year-old eldest son Lucas is admitted to the top prestigious school in Singapore, second son Quintus continuously wins prizes in international mathematics competitions. All take place in a family considered to be "without fatherly affection".
After the divorce, Cecilia Cheung took her two children to live in Singapore. In the local Chinese community, the image of a single mother running back and forth between film sets and parent meetings has become familiar. She is called the "mother who never gets late".
In the program "Brilliant Journey", Truong Ba Chi for the first time revealed her core educational philosophy, which is education through adversity. She believes that children should not grow up in absolute favor and be overly pampered, but need to go through failure to grow up.
If the child's life is too smooth, when they encounter failure, they are very prone to collapse and lack the ability to face difficulties," the actress explained. What surprised many people was that when she knew her child was having difficulties in studying or life, she "felt happy".
When teaching her children, she focuses on fostering independent personality and resilience, teaching her children how to face public pressure. Truong Ba Chi gives her children a lot of freedom, but at the same time emphasizes responsibility and the spirit of shouldering it.
Her educational philosophy originates from her own childhood experiences - she does not want to create pressure like her parents did for her. Respecting children's autonomy helps foster decision-making ability and sense of responsibility.
Ta Dinh Phong once admitted that he was a "strict father", but after the divorce, his level of participation in the child's growth process was clearly not enough.
In 2024, on the birthday of his eldest son, Nicholas Tse maintained a discreet attitude, while at the same time he publicly interacted with Wang Fei and Li Yan.
On the contrary, Truong Ba Chi puts her children's emotional needs first. She gave up many acting opportunities, completely shifting her life focus to her children.
In a video on Douyin recording the scene of her preparing food at 4 am, the timetable of her eldest son and the list of allergens of her youngest son pasted on the refrigerator door - those details show her dedicated daily care.
Nicholas Tse's fatherly love is mainly reflected in short trips and some outdoor activities with his children. The actor once choked up and said: "The most regrettable thing is that I missed the moment my children took their first steps.
According to the media, the achievements of the two sons are the best affirmation of Truong Ba Chi's education method. Lucas and Quintus are not only good at studying but also have rare maturity and filial piety at the same age. Even more touching is the fact that the children actively become a bridge between father and mother.
Although divorced for many years, Ta Dinh Phong's parents still love Truong Ba Chi. The ex-husband's father - Ta Hien - has publicly said many times that Truong Ba Chi will forever be a member of the Ta family, while almost not mentioning Vuong Phi - Ta Dinh Phong's current girlfriend.
After the divorce, Truong Ba Chi still regularly took her two children to visit her paternal grandparents. Ta Dinh Phong's mother praised her two grandchildren for being well-educated - indirectly affirming Truong Ba Chi's efforts.
