Move over, Du Fu! British actress Rosamund Pike’s sons, Solo and Atom Uniacke, are stealing the cultural spotlight this Lunar New Year season with their impressive recitations of classical Chinese poetry. 🌟 The brothers, aged 14 and 12, recently shared bilingual festive greetings that’s got social media buzzing about Gen Z cross-cultural connections.
“Even the moon waxes and wanes,” Atom recited in flawless Mandarin during a virtual cultural exchange event, quoting Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai – proving poetry knows no borders.
