Li attended the event on Wednesday with his 19-year-old daughter Li Yan. When leaving, Li Yan was seen using the smoking device, her actions described by online users as “skilled” and “experienced,” appearing relaxed and at ease. Throughout the incident, her father did not intervene, Swamp reported.

Some sources claimed that her mother, Wong and her half-sister, musician Leah Dou, are also smokers, and that the family is “relatively open” about the habit.

On social media, many criticized Li Yan for “picking up bad habits” and “projecting a negative image as a celebrity’s daughter.” Others argued that, as an adult, she has the right to choose her lifestyle and should not face excessive scrutiny. Several commenters noted that e-cigarettes still contain harmful substances such as nicotine and heavy metals, which can be particularly damaging to young people’s health.

Li Yan is the only child of Li and Wong. After her parents divorced in 2013, she lived with her father. Since 2019, she has studied at an international school in Switzerland. Supported financially by her parents, she has enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle, often purchasing luxury goods and spending lavishly.

She was diagnosed at birth with a congenital cleft lip and palate, and her parents devoted nearly two decades to her recovery, sparing no expense to secure the best medical care, according to Sinchew. In recent years, she underwent surgery to correct her cleft palate, which enhanced her appearance and drew praise from the public. Although not active in the entertainment industry, she remains in the spotlight as the daughter of two high-profile figures. She has occasionally stirred controversy on social media, including for posting swimsuit photos before turning 18 and appearing with wealthy friends while reportedly spending large sums despite not having her own income.

Li, 54, is known for his roles in popular Chinese dramas such as “The Singer” (1997), “Laughing in the Wind” (2001), “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” (2003), and the film “Eternal Moment” (2011). He retired from acting in 2011 to focus on business ventures. In 2022, he married model Haiha Jinxi, 35, with whom he has a daughter.

Wong, 55, has been in a steady relationship with actor Nicholas Tse since they rekindled their romance in 2014.
