Yifei really appreciates her fans!

Hi,

First up, Aleksey has made a comment in Aug 25, 2008 - 21st Birthday of Crystal Liu Yifei post below. The comments link is at the very end of every post and everyone is welcome to comment! Although there is a moderation factor, thus far, I've not rejected any comments from her fans.

Speaking of fans, Wan Mei offers this cogent insight which pertains to the Aug 25, 2008 - 21st Birthday of Crystal Liu Yifei post below:

"Yifei is saying in this message that she noticed them standing out there and even recognize one of them by name but couldn't reach out to them during that time due to the situation. The text in smaller lettering she probably added as an afterthought "Maybe it is all predestined... (Picture of Heart)" is a encouragement that it is not anyone's fault that the fans couldn't meet her up close that day even though they have tried so hard."


UPDATE: 11 PM PT: Wan Mei also found and uploaded 3 new pics to photobucket.com! All pics found within this post (Title: Yifei really appreciates her fans!) are now clickable to enlarge to a bigger size!!:





Thanks dear Wan Mei especially for the tom.com pic above!

I found another 3 by tom.com, 8 by qq and 1 by unknown? All uploaded to my flickr.com account. Some could be possible repeats to Wan Mei's uploads. By last count (yes, I counted many times aloud at work much to the chagrin of my office colleagues) there are 67 pics which includes this post?!

HUGE thanks to Wan Mei for sharing the above scan and translating her message below:

"Dear Friends, (Bunny Picture)

Today is my birthday again! Every year at this time, I would receive many warm wishes and blessings from you all. I am really touched - originally I intended to arrange a meeting with you but due to late notice, and so many leaders of (fan) websites being so busy at this time, so (we will) do this next time, yeah? =)

("Ribbon Picture")
On that day of the charity event, I saw (ID of a Yifei fan) leading a few friends lifting up boards and stood outside the function area. I felt really bad about that, but I couldn’t do anything (for them) =(
Appreciation for (your group for) trying so hard! (large exclamation)
(Smaller Print) Maybe it is all predestined... (Picture of Heart)

Returning (to China) this time I might stay up to a month. At the end of September I will go for further studies. Receiving your blessings and greetings is my greatest joy. I will take all your blessings and carry it through a doubly happy birthday!

I represent myself and my three dogs at home to give thanks to all of you! (large exclamation)

From Yifei,
8.25.08"

Earlier on Aug 22, 2008, Wan Mei found and uploaded lots of pictures of Yifei at the Harper's Bazaar China 2008 charity event!

Yifei also won the Top 10 award at said charity event for bidding three times the value of "a Tiffany Crystal Lantern Necklace designed by Paloma Picasso (the daughter of the famous painter, Pablo Picasso)" and the proceeds are to be given to Jet Li's One Foundation for the earthquake victims.

According to Wan Mei, "Yifei is the only actress or actor who bid (successfully) one of the item in the charity auction. The other successful bidders are mostly the super-rich or corporate leaders." Congratulations to Yifei for receiving the Top 10 Harper's Bazaar China 2008 charity award.

Herewith, the amazing Wan Mei's uploads and his comments as well:


"Yifei is wearing a Fendi yellow embroidered dress with tulle skirt

These video clip links above are kindly uploaded and provided by choongkop of liuyifei.org and can be use without congestion outside China
The original video source is live coverage from Sohu.

Yifei acted as presenter jointly with Chen Kun (her costar in NOBLE FAMILY), Sun Li (played Yifei's mother in CHINESE PALADIN) and Huang Lei (Sun Li's husband) to present the Cartier Pendant Set sold for charity for auctioneer No. 89 at 1,200,000 (1.2 million) yuan.


Afterwards, in the charity auction Yifei bid 450,000 yuan herself for a Tiffany Crystal Lantern Necklace designed by Paloma Picasso (the daughter of the famous painter, Pablo Picasso).

(The necklace has a reference value of 150,000 yuan, so Yifei paid three times that value for charity)
















In this photo you can see Tony Blair, the former prime minister of Britain sitting (with his family and Zhang Ziyi) in the table of honour adjacent to Yifei's table.

But we actually don't see much of her during the bidding process in the video

The winners


Some of the journalists called Zhang Ziyi and Yifei the "queen" and "princess" of this event














Last one with surprise look is probably talking to Chen Kun

(More or less in chronological order)

Note that the entire 10,350,000 yuan collected through the charity auction, including Yifei's necklace is to given to Jet Li's One Foundation for the earthquake victims."

HUGE thanks, once again, to Wan Mei and thanks to choongkop for the vid links!

Finally, I myself stumbled across two pics from baidu (methinks similar to the sohu pics found and uploaded by the amazing Wan Mei earlier):
