China News, April 10 - Recently, a mysterious photo of Nicholas Tse's son has been circulating on the mainland Weibo. In less than three hours, more than 2,000 netizens have reposted it. However, it was later confirmed that the photo was actually one of Edison Chen from his childhood, used to grab attention.
According to Taiwan’s “Today News,” this Weibo post sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens really believed that this was a photo of Nicholas Tse's son, but the identity of the child's father was questionable. Netizen Tian Lan Ruo Kong Xiao Shi Yi commented: "Can I tell the truth? At first glance, he really looks like Edison Chen." Another netizen, Lost Hou De Gu Lu, said: "It's like this kid was carved from the same mold as our brother Edison Chen." There were also comments such as: "His eyes look like Chen's, and his nose looks like Bai Zhi's. This kid really grew well, only taking the best features. xyz software king."
The scandal involving explicit photos of Edison Chen in 2008 caused quite a stir in Hong Kong's entertainment circle. Although it has been two years since then, netizens couldn't help making a fuss over this Weibo post. Most netizens who saw the photo were just looking for entertainment. However, some keen-eyed netizens noticed that the photo was actually one of Edison Chen as a child, saying: "This is clearly a photo of Edison Chen when he was little... I've seen it many years ago." Netizens also questioned whether Nicholas Tse's son had double eyelids or not, pointing out differences. Some even found evidence claiming: "This is a photo of Edison Chen when he was young. Don't do this. Think about Nicholas Tse; isn't this too cruel to him? And what did the child do wrong? Stop using these matters to insult children. Bai Zhi Zhang isn't stupid; she's not afraid of lawsuits."
The netizen who circulated the photo realized that their uploaded photo had already been widely shared by many netizens. They left a comment on Weibo: "I didn't mean to. I posted it casually without expecting it to become so popular. Sinful, sinful."
