Chinese director Zhang Yimou celebrated his 65th birthday with his wife and children on Thursday.

Zhang’s wife Chen Ting posted a heartwarming post on her micro-blog account with photos showing Zhang, Chen and one of their children celebrating together. Chen’s existence and the existence of her children with Zhang had remained a secret until 2013.

"Happy birthday, father of our children! Please spare no effort to make 'The Great Wall' a good movie, and leave the little family stuff to me!" Chen wrote. The post soon generated huge buzz online.

The photos also depicted a Great-Wall-shaped birthday cake.

Zhang's upcoming international science fiction blockbuster "The Great Wall" began filming on March 30, 2015. The cast will include Chinese movie stars Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, and American actors Matt Damon, Willem Dafoe and Chilean-American actor Pedro Pascal.

The film is scheduled to be released in November 2016.
