Zheng Geping surprises wife Hong Huifang for 30th wedding anniversary with flower bouquet while she is overseas filming
The veteran Singapore actress is currently in Kinmen filming for the Taiwan production Breeze by the Sea, which also stars Fann Wong and with Peter Ho directing.
While the current dating scene may feel bleak for single Pringles, celebrity couple Zheng Geping and Hong Huifang is showing that they’re #couplegoals.
Hong, 62, posted a photo of herself on Wednesday (13 Dec) with a bouquet of flowers gifted by husband Zheng to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
In addition to wishing Zheng a happy 30th anniversary, she wrote, “A lifetime together is not just a simple oath to each other, but countless ordinary days of staying together, caring for each other, understanding each other, working together, and moving forward. May we be happy, happy, and healthy all our lives!”
Hong is currently in Kinmen filming for the Taiwan production Breeze by the Sea, with Peter Ho directing. The show also stars fellow Singaporean actress Fann Wong.
Zheng Geping wanted to fly to Kinmen
Speaking to Lianhe Zaobao, Zheng said he wanted to fly to Kinmen to surprise Hong but was unable to get away due to other work commitments.
The 59-year-old said, “After all, it’s the 30th anniversary and I’ve never missed a year!”
As for how he successfully coordinated the surprise, Zheng enlisted the help of Singaporean actress Yvonne Lim - who resides in Taiwan for the moment with her husband but is moving back next year - to contact Hong’s Taiwan manager.
Zheng also revealed that Hong didn’t even realise that it was their 30th wedding anniversary when he discreetly prompted her.
The couple were talking on the night of 12 Dec and he told her that it was midnight, to which Hong replied, “Yeah, time passes fast. I’m going to sleep.”
She only remembered the occasion after he told her that it was their 30th anniversary.
Though Zheng has never missed an anniversary, there was one other year that he was also unable to be there physically with Hong. It was in 2021, when she was filming Ajoomma in South Korea, and he had wanted to fly to visit her but was unable to do so due to the pandemic.
When asked whether he’s a romantic person, Zheng laughed and told the Chinese daily that only Hong would know.
In response, Hong said, “It has been more than thirty years since I met him, dated him, and got married. He is so romantic towards my children and I. He is really a very romantic man, but I am not a very romantic woman.”
She added, “In fact, we’re both not very much into traditions, but if I notice that he wants something, I will give it to him during special occasions. Our gifts are all very practical.”
