Chinese pop diva Faye Wong may attend China Central Television's
Olympic charity event, "You Are the Torch Holder," on January 10 in
Beijing, her first public performance since her withdrawal last
year.
The newspaper Chongqing Times reported on Sunday that
the event, focused on the moving stories of Olympic torch bearers
and the grand mission of the torch relay, is the most important
charity event centered on Olympic torch holders since their
selection.
According to the director of the event, Faye Wong has been
invited to sing at the benefit. Because of the charity angle of the
event, the performance doesn't signal Faye Wong's future return to
the stage.
The pop diva has devoted herself to charity activities for the
Smile Angel Foundation, also known as Yanran Angel Foundation,
founded by Faye Wong and her actor husband Li Yapeng to help
children with cleft palates.
