Former Chinese actor and businessman Li Yapeng, who is also the ex-husband of Cantopop diva Faye Wong, hit the headlines recently after he admitted that a charity hospital he founded was in serious debt.
According to the hospital, it has operated on 11,000 children with a cleft lip for free.

Kind-hearted online observers flocked to the hospital’s donation link and in a few days, the hospital raised 20 million yuan (US$2.9 million), enough to pay the overdue rent.
His live-stream sales session on January 17, which lasted for five hours, generated more than 10 million yuan (US$1.4 million) in sales.
