Faye and LYP in Hangzhou

Faye Wong (王菲) and Li Yapeng (李亚鹏) went to Hangzhou on June 6 to visit children injured in the earthquake. Despite appeals by the local government officials to keep media activity to a minimum, the press corps grew as word of the visit got out. (Added 6.7.08: Unable to keep the press at bay, LYP asked that they at least shield the children’s faces in their photos. The first photo in the lineup below, posted 6.6.08, was replaced with a copy that blurs the baby’s face.) LYP asked photographers to When the inevitable question about Faye’s return was raised, LYP’s answer was very interesting: “The main thing now is to do charity. Other things cannot be [pursued] for the time being.” This is definitely not a “no.” This photo of Faye with the recuperating baby shows her genuine warmth and caring. And you can see the same caring in LYP’s face, too. As a couple, they are symbols for the love and generosity of all the people of China.
