Former Anchor Couple Show Off Stunning New Zealand Home With Lake Views and Artful Design

Former television anchor Chang Peishan has opened the doors to the New Zealand home she shares with her husband, Cen Yongkang, showing off spotless interiors, striking design details and sweeping views of forests and a lake.

Chang said her latest “New Zealand mission” had ended successfully after she travelled there to spend time with the couple’s two children. She joked that each morning began with cooking and cleaning, then offered four humorous reinterpretations of Chinese idioms to describe her housekeeping standards.

A speck of dust is nowhere to be found.

“One speck of dust is nowhere to be found” meant that even dust would feel unnecessary wherever she had cleaned. “Bright windows and clean tables” meant the glass was so clear that birds might fly into it. “Everything in perfect order” meant every piece of furniture had its own precise latitude and longitude. And “a home with only four bare walls” referred to the removal of clutter, leaving visitors to joke that the house looked like a show home.

The photos showed a minimalist modern interior with strong natural light. The living room used an elegant grey palette, sculptural pendant lighting and polished furniture. Another area featured a bright orange L-shaped sofa, a white furry cushion and a huge koala plush toy.

Outside, the floor-to-ceiling windows and second-floor balcony opened onto blue skies, dense greenery and a lake. Chang said maintaining a home was not easy and required every family member to contribute. Ethan helped drive, cut grass, carry rice and accompany her shopping. Sammi went shopping with her and even paid for a fitness class and cosmetics as a treat for her mother. Chang jokingly called herself “Auntie Shan, the domestic helper,” adding that after she returned to Taiwan, the children joked they would have to take turns going hungry.
