How can I show pinyin on top of characters using PySide?

[Seafoodhater]

I have a string of Chinese characters and their respective pinyin. Is there any way I can display them as text like in the image above with PySide?

I have tried something like this for the CSS part:

span {
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
}

As for the HTML part:

<span>wǒ<br>我</span><span>ài<br>爱</span><span>nǐ<br>你</span>

AFAIK, PyQt does not have full CSS support so the inline-block method does not work. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!
