55-year-old diva Faye Wong recently returned to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage after seven years, performing with her celestial voice in "The World Gifts to Me". The lyrics praising the resilience of life were healing, and as she sang emotionally towards the end, she choked up and shed tears on stage, clasping her hands together, leaving the audience deeply moved. Always keeping a low profile, she was later exposed by an old neighbor who revealed that her parents and brother had passed away, bringing her directly to the top of Weibo's trending list, making many fans both heartbroken and furious.
On the day of the performance, Faye Wong neatly tied up her hair and wore a flowing long gown of pure white silk, with bright red earrings accentuating her ethereal presence. Returning to the Spring Festival Gala stage after seven years, her voice remained hauntingly beautiful, so much so that netizens questioned whether it was lip-syncing, "exactly like the CD." Towards the end, singing the last line "Those who have gone far have gone far away, may they be at peace," filled with emotion for departed souls, Faye's eyes welled up with tears, clasping her hands and bowing deeply, leaving listeners profoundly touched.
Faye Wong's old neighbor, singer Hei Ni, later recorded a video on social media, revealing that Faye's emotion and tears during the performance were because she is now considered an orphan, with her parents and brother having passed away. She is only connected by blood to her two daughters, who are from two different divorced families.
It is reported that Hei Ni, who watched Faye Wong grow up and was a close friend and neighbor of her late mother, disclosed in the video that Faye’s mother passed away around the age of 60 due to illness, and her brother died in his 50s, also due to illness, unmarried, and childless. In recent years, her father also passed away. Now, only her two daughters are her blood relatives. Hei Ni stated that Faye Wong, characterized by her kind nature, had a harmonious family relationship. She mentioned that Faye Wong was moved to tears during her Spring Festival Gala performance of "The World Gifts to Me." The lyrics "Those who have gone far have gone far away, may they be at peace" were precisely expressing Faye's longing for her departed loved ones.
After the revelation, fans were both heartbroken and enraged, commenting, "Is this how you use the word 'orphan'? Did a dog teach you Chinese?", "Faye Wong has always been very protective of her family's privacy, spreading news like this is too much," "How can you casually disclose someone's family privacy at this time of year?"
