Wong and her actor husband Li Yapeng attend a charity ball to raise
funds for their Smile Angel Foundation in Beijing, December 26,
2006. [Sina.com.cn] | The charitable foundation launched
recently by pop diva Faye Wong and her film star husband Li Yapeng has set
an ambitious agenda for this year.
With its support, more than 400 children from poverty-stricken families
who suffer from cleft palates are expected to receive free operations this
year.
The celebrity couple set up the Smile Angel Foundation named after
their daughter, who recently underwent surgery to treat her own cleft lip
in November to help children born with cleft lips and palates. It will
target children under 14 years of age.
The foundation has so far collected more than 12 million yuan ($1.5
million), according to Xinhua.
Wong's daughter, Li Yan, was born on May 27 last year. Li Yapeng said
that the little girl had been born with a cleft lip in his blog in August.
"My wife and I don't intend to cover up the truth because it is related
to a child, and we have a lots of things to do within limited time or
we'll miss the best time for my daughter's treatment," Li said. "All we do
is for the benefit of my daughter and for a good environment for her
recovery."
Later Wong flew her daughter to the United States for plastic surgery.
The couple donated 1 million yuan ($125,000) to start the foundation in
collaboration with the Red Cross Society of China.

由流行天后王菲和影星李亞鵬夫婦不久前成立的“嫣然天使基金會”今年制訂了一個大計劃。
根據此項計劃，今年將會有400多名患“唇腭裂”的貧困兒童得到免費手術治療。
王菲和李亞鵬的女兒于去年11月接受了“唇裂”整容手術，“嫣然天使基金會”就是以她的名字命名的，這項基金將專為那些14歲以下的唇腭裂兒童提供救助。
據新華社報道，“嫣然天使基金會”目前已籌集了共1200多萬元的善款。
王菲和李亞鵬的女兒李嫣于去年5月27日出生。李亞鵬于8月份在其博客上公開了女兒患唇裂的消息。
李亞鵬在博客中說：“我和妻子并不是刻意隱瞞真相，只是這次關系到孩子，而且在極短的時間內有很多繁雜的手續要辦，拖延了時間便遲了治療，一切都是為了女兒能有一個好的求醫環境。”（注：博客中原話）
之后，王菲帶女兒前往美國接受整形手術。
“嫣然天使基金會”是在全國紅十字會的支持下，由王菲和李亞鵬夫婦捐資100萬元成立的。
