Bringing back a smile to their faces

Tang Shuxi, an 8-year-old boy who was born with severe cleft lips and palate, sprinted and became the first who reached the destination when playing a game with other children at a summer camp in Beijing.

He is one of the 20 children aged between 7 and 10 who underwent corrective surgery for their cleft. Currently, they are attending a one-week event organized by the Smile Angel Foundation, a charity that was initiated to help Chinese children born with the condition.

The foundation was established by Chinese actor Li Yapeng and singer Faye Wong in 2006 when the couple's daughter was born with a cleft palate.
