A famous Chinese filmmaker is suffering from malicious comments after posting a video celebrating his youngest daughter's first birthday.

According to Hong Kong media outlet South China Morning Post, 74-year-old Chinese drama and film producer Zhang Jihong posted a video online celebrating the first birthday of her daughter 'Xiao Longzhou', who was born to her 31-year-old younger wife, Duxinglin.

The two married in 2017, and Duxinglin was a French student and previously served as Zhang's manager.




Jang Ji-joong posted a video on social media, saying, `Dear daughter, I'm glad you've grown this much. I will devote all my life experience to help you grow," he said.

He also shed tears of emotion at his daughter's growth, saying, "I don't think I'll be able to walk far with you, but I'll give you all the love and support every day."I plan to make a video and leave a letter on my daughter's birthday," he said

The video was congratulated by many fans with more than 200,000 'likes'.




However, some netizens left malicious comments.

They responded mockingly, such as "You won't see your daughter's wedding", "You are destined to take care of your old parents from an early age", "You have to give birth at that age, I feel sorry for your child". There were even some sexually harassing comments.

In response, Duxinglin, the child's mother, said she had collected evidence from malicious commenters and had begun legal action.




She called for stricter regulations on the platform and mature attitudes of netizens, saying, `As a mother, I will do everything I can to protect my daughter.'

The two share travel and traditional cultural content on social media and have more than 5.7 million followers.

Duxinglin said in past live broadcasts that "With or without love between us, it's not for others to care. This is my life", and Zhang Ji-joong also "was attracted to each other, deeply in love, and shares a passion for traditional culture".
