Some people say that he is "not old", some people say that he is "old and strong", and some people even question that he is old, and he still wants his wife to risk having children, what is his purpose?
Perhaps, the answer is hidden in Zhang Jizhong's eyes when he looks at Du Xinglin, in the video, Zhang Jizhong not only cares about his wife meticulously, but also reveals a strong love in his eyes.
Zhang Jizhong has a rich emotional experience and has had two marriages, but neither has left any heirs.
It wasn't until 2017 that he married Du Xinglin, who was 31 years younger than him, at the age of 66, that he finally realized the joy of being a father.
After marriage, Du Xinglin gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhang Jizhong, nicknamed "Dudu Xia" and "Little Flower Fairy" respectively, plus Du Xinglin's mixed-race son Martin who was born through IVF technology before marriage, the life of a family of five is very lively.
And this year, the family is about to welcome a new member.
For becoming a father again at the age of 73, Zhang Jizhong did not show any discomfort, but enjoyed it.
Zhang Jizhong often posts bits and pieces of family life on social media.

These plain and warm pictures all reveal Zhang Jizhong's importance to his family and his love for children.
Many people think that 73-year-olds should be at home to enjoy their old age and spend time with their grandchildren.
But Zhang Jizhong broke people's stereotypes, he not only had to take care of his young children, but also took care of his pregnant wife, and became the envy of many people.
Du Xinglin posted a video on social platforms some time ago, showing Zhang Jizhong's meticulous care of her during her pregnancy.

He will help her pack the delivery bag, chat with her to relieve tension, and even gently touch her belly and talk to her unborn baby when she is asleep.
These seemingly insignificant details reflect Zhang Jizhong's love and sense of responsibility for Du Xinglin.
The love story of Zhang Jizhong and Du Xinglin has caused a lot of controversy from the beginning.
The age gap of 31 years makes this marriage particularly eye-catching, and it has also attracted a lot of doubts. Some people say that Du Xinglin married Zhang Jizhong for money.
After all, Zhang Jizhong is a big director and has a lot of money, while Du Xinglin is just a little actor who is not well-known.
Some people say that Zhang Jizhong is really an "old naughty boy", he is so old, and he still likes to pursue young and beautiful girls.
In the face of the gossip outside, Zhang Jizhong and Du Xinglin didn't say much, they just lived their lives quietly.
They will share some daily life on social platforms, and they will also attend some activities together to prove their relationship with practical actions.
In Du Xinglin's view, Zhang Jizhong is a mature, stable and responsible man. He was much older than her, but he gave her a sense of security that she had never felt before.
He can accept her wayward temper, and will give her the strongest backing when she needs it.
In Zhang Ji Center, Du Xinglin is like a ray of sunshine, illuminating his otherwise ordinary life. She was young, beautiful, and full of energy, which brought back his long-lost passion.
Love has no age boundaries. As long as two people truly love each other, age, identity, and status are not a problem.
Zhang Jizhong and Du Xinglin's family, in addition to the age gap, also has a controversial topic, that is, IVF and advanced age childbirth.
Du Xinglin's first child, her mixed-race son Martin, was born through IVF technology before she got married.
At that time, she hadn't met the right person, but she really wanted to have a child of her own, so she chose this way.
Du Xinglin was pregnant with her fourth child when she was 42 years old, which caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Some people are worried about her health, after all, advanced maternal age is more at risk; Some people also questioned Zhang Jizhong, thinking that he should not let his wife have to suffer from childbirth at this age.
In the face of these doubts, Zhang Jizhong and Du Xinglin both said that this was a joint decision of their husband and wife, and they were fully prepared and would be responsible for their children.
Indeed, in today's increasingly open concept of fertility, IVF and advanced age are no longer a new thing.
Over the years, although Zhang Jizhong has rarely directed TV series anymore, he is still active in front of the public, updating videos from time to time to share his daily life with his wife and children.
Perhaps, in Zhang Jizhong's view, age is just a number, and it cannot be a reason to limit his pursuit of his dreams.
