The Comeback - Yes! Yes! Yes!
Faye Wong, a Beijing native who shot to fame in Hong Kong in the mid-90s may return next year to sing the theme song for the Beijing Olympic Games!
A staff member of Wong’s husband Li Yapeng’s company told the Chinese Businessman newspaper that the organizing committee of the Beijing Games (BOCOG) has sent invitations to the singer, hoping she will sing the theme song for the upcoming games with the price for her performance rumored to be three million yuan.
She unofficially retired from singing in recent years after marrying actor Li Yapeng and gave birth to her second daughter, Li Yan. The girl was born with cleft palate, which was corrected by surgery in the US. [Cri]

A foundation created by Chinese pop diva Faye Wong and her film star husband Li Yapeng was launched here Tuesday to help children born with cleft palates.
Yan Ran Angel Foundation, named for Li’s daughter, will help children under 14 years old.
The foundation was launched after Wong and Li’s five-month-old daughter Li Yan recovered from plastic surgery for her cleft palate.
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). Donations to the foundation will be encouraged.
