As we all know, Li Yapeng and Faye Wong's daughter Li Yan was born with a cleft lip, but they never gave up their love and treatment for her. Even though the two parted ways, they still performed multiple surgeries on the child, making Li Yan's smile as bright as an ordinary person. What's even more touching is that Faye Wong and Li Yapeng also founded the Yanran Fund, which not only treats their own children, but also helps other children with the same disease. Therefore, many people praised Li Yan for her existence like an angel.
In a live broadcast last year, Li Yapeng went to the hospital to visit children with cleft lip and palate and actively raised money for the operation. During the live broadcast, Li Yapeng revealed that his 18-year-old daughter Li Yan had just completed the fourth cleft lip and palate repair surgery in her life, a process that has lasted for 23 years.
However, this news has been kept secret until this year (2024) when Li Yan is about to undergo her fifth surgery, which will also be her last. In the curiosity of netizens, everyone began to speculate whether Li Yan's recent sudden return to China was to prepare for the upcoming surgery?
Cleft lip and palate repair surgery is not a one-time process and requires a series of treatments. Li Yan had her first surgery when she was a few months old and spent the next few years undergoing constant surgeries and repairs. Despite this, Li Yan still shows self-confidence, which shows her inner strength and courage.
Instead of being depressed and running away from her cleft lip and palate, the little girl showed her confidence and showed the world the perfect state of a girl in a single-parent family.
At that time, when Li Yapeng's daughter underwent surgery for the first time, the young Li Yan was only three months old. The operation lasted up to 5 hours, which was undoubtedly an ordeal for the parents. Before being pushed into the operating room, Li Yan said a word to her father on the side, which instantly made Li Yapeng burst into tears.
Li Yan said, "Dad, let's take a selfie." "It's a small act of comfort that touches people. Li Yapeng watched Li Yan walk into the operating room, and walked to the side of the road downstairs silently, tears flowing silently. He was filled with guilt for not being able to give his daughter a perfect appearance.
When Li Yan was 7 years old, Faye Wong and Li Yapeng ended their marriage, and Li Yan began to follow her father in daily life. Li Yapeng was questioned after his divorce from Faye Wong, questioned whether he was a competent husband, and questioned his performance in the field of public welfare and business, however, no one doubted that he was an excellent father.
Since Li Yan was one and a half years old, Li Yapeng has taken her to climb the mountain. Although Li Yan showed amazing mountaineering skills and love at a young age, Li Yapeng was always by her side. Since then, no matter how busy he is at work, Li Yapeng will take Li Yan to conquer new peaks every month or two.
Li Yapeng has shown extraordinary fatherly love and responsibility, and he has not only excelled in educating his daughter, but also encouraging her to participate in public welfare and cultivating her interests in many aspects. In order to ensure that Li Yan would not feel inferior because of her own specialness, he even took her to the fashion stage. Li Yan has never been bothered by her special situation, but has shown more determined self-confidence than ordinary children. All this is due to Li Yapeng's selfless dedication and care.
With the joint efforts of Li Yapeng and Faye Wong, they founded the "Yanran Fund". Li Yan also actively participated in it and did her part. Due to the surgery she underwent at a young age, Li Yan showed extraordinary independence and optimism at a very young age. She has never felt inferior due to her special circumstances, and has always faced life with a firm attitude.
Growing up unfazed by criticism, Li Yan had the courage to experiment with a variety of hobbies, fashion styles, and lifestyles. Although the family has experienced the divorce of her parents, she is good at reconciling the relationship between her family, and often goes out shopping with her half-sister Dou Jingtong, showing a casual and comfortable attitude.
Li Yan has grown up so healthy and positive, as if she has never left any scars on her body. Her power to overcome negative emotions does not come from monetary wealth, but from something incomparably precious. This incomparably precious thing is love. Love gives Li Yan the most powerful power, even though this answer seems old-fashioned. After all, a confident girl is the most beautiful being in the world.
I hope that Li Yan's last cleft lip and palate repair surgery will be successful, and with the completion of the operation, she will also usher in adulthood, and she can pursue her own life without burden and fetters. I believe that this moment will make Faye Wong and Li Yapeng feel extremely gratified.
