Hong Kong singer Faye Wong recently delighted fans with a rare public display of affection for her daughter, Li Yan, in photos that went viral on Chinese social media. The Mandopop diva, known for keeping a low profile, is seldom seen in public with Li Yan, who turned 18 on May 27.

In the heartwarming photos, Wong, 54, is seen standing behind her daughter, hugging her and kissing her forehead. The images quickly garnered attention, with many netizens commenting on Li Yan’s mature appearance, noting how different she looks compared to her younger years.
Li Yan is Wong’s daughter with her former husband, Chinese actor Li Yapeng, 52. Wong also has another daughter, singer Leah Dou, 27, from her first marriage to Chinese rocker Dou Wei, 54. Currently, Wong is in a relationship with Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse, 43.
Li Yan has been in the spotlight since birth. Born with a cleft palate, her parents took her to the United States for operations shortly after her birth in May 2006. To protect her from the relentless paparazzi in China, Wong reportedly sent Li Yan to an exclusive boarding school in Switzerland in 2019.
The mother-daughter duo trended on social media in March when they were spotted together at Beijing Capital International Airport. Fans were quick to notice that Li Yan is now almost as tall as her mother, who stands at 1.74 meters.
Faye Wong’s rare public appearance with Li Yan has once again highlighted the singer’s enduring popularity and the deep bond she shares with her daughter. The photos serve as a touching reminder of the personal side of a star who usually keeps her private life away from the public eye.
