Li Nanxing wanted a low-key 62nd birthday, but his friends in Beijing had other plans

Singaporean actor Li Nanxing celebrated his 62nd birthday in Beijing with a surprise party organised by friends, despite having planned a quiet occasion. The gathering featured tributes to his acting career and gifts reflecting his personal and professional journey.

Among the guests were actress Vivian Lai, entrepreneur and fashion influencer Hao Yiwen, and hairstylist Kim Robinson, who travelled from Hong Kong. Friends served Shanxi dishes associated with good fortune, showed a video montage and presented Li with a personalised keepsake; he responded by singing “Tomorrow Will Be Better”.
