Pop diva Faye Wong and her ex-husband Li Yapeng's daughter, Li Yan, is about to celebrate her 19th birthday. Having been in the spotlight since she was young, she has gradually demonstrated a unique personality and mature charm in recent years. Last year, at 18, Li Yan posted a set of black-and-white artistic photos, in which she appeared calm and elegant, receiving endless praise from netizens. Not only was she said to resemble her mother, but many also believed her features bore some resemblance to the late diva Coco Lee. This photo set even trended on Weibo, sparking a wave of discussion.
Recently, however, Li Yan once again became the focus of online attention. A black-and-white photo of her holding a cigarette surfaced, shared by netizens on social platforms with the caption, 'Time flies, Faye Wong's daughter Li Yan is smoking now.' In the photo, Li Yan has her hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a simple short-sleeved T-shirt, holding a lit cigarette in her left hand. However, it's unclear whether she is actually smoking, with some speculating it might have been a pose for the photo. This photo quickly garnered nearly 1500 comments and sparked heated discussions.
In response to the controversial photo, netizens had mixed reactions. Some believe that Li Yan, as an adult, has the right to choose her own lifestyle as long as it doesn't affect others, arguing that 'there’s nothing wrong with smoking.' Meanwhile, many focused on her appearance, suggesting her facial features increasingly resemble her father Li Yapeng, while some pointed out that her eyes are reminiscent of Faye Wong, indicating that Li Yan embodies the excellent genes of her parents.
