Tabloid victim reborn in an act of charity
Faye Wong (pictured) is the reigning queen of pop music and her husband Li Yapeng is a television actor the public love to hate. Their every move makes the tabloid headlines. Li was forced into a hospital-staff lift to escape the paparazzi when he visited his wife after she gave birth to their daughter. But later, with his wife's consent, Li revealed the family secret that their newborn was born with a cleft palate.
After taking their baby to the United States for treatment, the couple formed the Smile Angel Foundation to help children with the same problem. At the first fundraising party, their friends from the entertainment world chipped in some 12 million yuan ($1.53 million) so that children like their daughter can bring a big smile to this world.
