Chinese Pop Diva Faye Wong Helps Children With Birth Defects
Chinese pop diva Faye Wong and her film star husband Li Yapeng created Yan Ran Angel Foundation, which is named after their daughter, to help children born with cleft palates.
The foundation was launched after Wong and Li's five-month-old daughter Li Yan recovered from plastic surgery for her cleft palate. Harelips, which are often associated with cleft palates, are a common congenital malformation.
The couple donated one million yuan (125,000 U.S. dollars) to start the foundation in collaboration with the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC).
Li's agency said that the couple were planing to host a charity banquet before Christmas, and Faye Wong would attend the banquet to show her thanks to people who have donated to the foundation. (Source: Xinhuanet.com ; Sina.com.cn )
