Recently, netizens spotted Liu Haoran and Dong Zijian at a morning market in Shenyang, where the two were seen strolling through the stalls and sharing breakfast at the same table. Photos and accounts of the encounter quickly circulated online, drawing attention to their unusually relaxed public appearance. Around the same time, both actors have shown increased activity on social media, suggesting the start of a promotional phase.
The two previously co-starred in the upcoming film My Friend Andrei, which is nearing its release. They are currently participating in promotional activities alongside the main creative team, and their appearance in Shenyang is understood to be part of the film’s roadshow and publicity schedule. Compared with standard press events, the casual setting of a local market offered a more down-to-earth glimpse into their promotional journey.
In terms of career direction, neither Liu nor Dong has taken on a large number of projects in recent years, but both have maintained a focus on production quality and strong creative teams. Liu Haoran continues to prioritize film roles, adopting a selective approach, while Dong Zijian has been more active in television projects, balancing genre variety with steady output. Their renewed collaboration is also seen as the result of coordinated backing and resource integration behind the scenes.
Overall, their joint appearance reflects not only the rollout of a new film but also their respective professional strategies at this stage of their careers. As My Friend Andrei approaches its release, further attention is likely to follow their promotional activities and the reception of the project itself.
