The Chinese screen has many famous stars from a very early age, especially the blossoming of the child star generation. However, not all child stars have a stable career, developing into adulthood. There are even cases where the actor is seen by his family as a “tool” to make money very early, trading both childhood and youth.
One of the most notable cases is the family of Wen Zhaoyu.

Tieu Tieu Bin has been happier and freer lately
As for the father, Wen Zhaoyu, he still did not give up his desire to “exploit” the potential of his children in the entertainment world. Without Tieu Tieu Bin, Mr. Wen still has 2 sons. The second son, who was given the stage name Mini Ban by his father, also participated in acting but was not as successful as his older brother. In addition, the youngest son with the stage name Manh Manh Bin was also taken by his father to participate in television shows. However, there is no one who brings achievements and sales like him all year long.
Currently, Wen Trieu Vu has a new wife and has let go of his ambition to “get rich” thanks to his children, leaving the three brothers free to develop and choose their own future.
