Former Hong Kong singer-actor Don Li has announced his exit from the entertainment industry.
In a recent TikTok video, Li, 43, said he hasn't pursued singing professionally for several years and only posts covers of old songs occasionally on the platform.
He also took to Instagram to share more about his decision to step away from the spotlight, adding that he's currently working hard to be the best version of himself.
'I hope that my life journey will be quiet. I want to concentrate on work, spend more time with my family, connect with like-minded friends and travel. That's enough for me,' he wrote.
Li also addressed the rumours about him becoming a monk, which surfaced earlier in February after he posted photos of himself sporting a shaved head, dressed in monastic robes.
The Port Of Call (2015) star clarified that his time as a monk was only temporary instead of a lifelong commitment.
'It's a solemn and serious ritual, so I won't explain too much. Life's journey is divided into many stages, and I currently like myself the most at this stage,' he wrote.
Li kickstarted his entertainment career in 2003 after emerging as a finalist in a talent show.
He teamed up with singer Mandy Chiang to form a duet act in 2005, but the pair parted ways in 2007 to pursue their music careers as solo artistes.

Punk-cute Labubu builds global emotional bridges, one grin at a time
A woman takes a selfie with art toys in a new Pop Mart offline store in Bangkok, Thailand on July 5, 2024. – Xinhua photo BEIJING (June 14): When the same toothy little monster appears dangling on Rihanna's purse and in David Beckham's social media post, and its hashtag racks up over 1 billion views on TikTok, it's clear this designer toy's global takeover is complete. Labubu, a spiky-toothed, mischievous imp manufactured in factories in south China's Dongguan and marketed by Beijing-based toy giant Pop Mart, is telling a Chinese IP globalisation story in an unexpected way. Originally priced at 99 yuan (about US$14), Labubu's 3.0 blind boxes have vanished from shelves at home, while resale markets see common variants triple in value and rare editions surge 30-fold to 3,000 yuan. This nine-toothed creature has also sparked a global frenzy, from Los Angeles to London, Milan to Tokyo, snaking queues form outside Pop Mart stores worldwide – some stores even witnessing frenzied scrambles for the coveted figurines. JPMorgan has even described Labubu as 'the next Hello Kitty.' Under Labubu's spell, Pop Mart's 'The Monsters' franchise saw revenues soar past 3 billion yuan in 2024, a staggering 726.6 per cent leap, crowning it as Pop Mart's top-performing IP. Investor enthusiasm surged in tandem: Pop Mart's share price has surged, lifting its market capitalisation to over HK$300 billion (approximately US$38 billion). The boom also catapulted founder Wang Ning into the ranks of China's wealthiest. This surge is no mere accident. Beneath the playful craze lies a deeper shift in youthful consumption: a shift from utility to emotional resonance, from price tags to personal identity. A monster of emotional resonance Created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubu defies traditional cuteness. With large ears and a fixed grin featuring nine pointy teeth, its oddball charm resonates with a young generation that sees itself in its mischievous, soft-hearted persona. 'It's weird-looking, and that leering grin borders on creepy,' said Dingding, a senior at Zhejiang University. 'But that's exactly why I love its defiant attitude.' This 'rebellious cuteness' mirrors the emotional complexity of modern youth. Cheng Fei, a Shanghai-based indie designer, said that in an era flooded with cuteness, Labubu's deliberate anti-aesthetic has become its strongest selling point. While Labubu's design sparks instant emotional connection, the blind box model adds emotional suspense: you never know what you'll get, and the thrill of unboxing a hidden edition feeds the dopamine loop. Compared to traditional toys, these collectibles offer more emotional value. Emotional spending is a growing trend among young people worldwide. A China Consumers Association report noted that emotional release is now a key driver in the purchasing decisions of young people. 'The rush of tearing open the box – it's like betting on fate,' said Guangzhou-based buyer A Yuan, who once drew a hidden edition on her first try. 'It felt like my luck had turned.' From factory to cultural frontier Labubu has helped shatter the stereotype of Chinese manufacturing as merely cheap and functional. While China has long been the world's factory, few domestic toy brands had global recognition – until now. Labubu's explosive popularity today not only marks a leap in China's design capabilities but also signals the emergence of Chinese brands in the global race to build super IPs. Wang has said he wants to create 'the world's Pop Mart, not anyone's copycat'. Labubu's runaway success appears to have created a blueprint for this globalisation strategy. Exporting Chinese IP has long been seen as challenging due to cultural and aesthetic differences. But Labubu offers a workaround – its design has 'low cultural thresholds', making it emotionally accessible to diverse audiences, according to a cultural industry researcher. Labubu is not tied to a fixed storyline, allowing fans to project their own meaning onto it. 'Many young people are telling their own stories through Labubu,' Wang said. The open-ended narrative also fuels user-generated content and a secondary market, from custom outfits to beauty treatments like fake lashes and rhinestone teeth. Gu Huijie, who runs a business in Yiwu specialising in doll accessories and outfits, said: 'Over half of our orders come from overseas, and the vast majority of our products are headed to the United States.' She attributes the surge in demand to the launch of the new Labubu series. Notably, Labubu's global expansion is deeply localised. Pop Mart has released special Labubu editions customised for different countries, including the Merlion edition for Singapore, the edition dressed in traditional Thai attire for Thailand, and the matador edition for Spain. These one-market-one-plan efforts retain the IP's core identity while catering to local tastes. Labubu's rise from a niche collectible to a cultural icon exemplifies China's growing creative confidence. Nevertheless, the country's creative prowess has transcended the designer toy boom, with breakthroughs reshaping global industries. The animated blockbuster 'Ne Zha 2' has soared into the top five worldwide box office earners; DeepSeek is reshaping the global AI landscape; 'Love and Deepspace', a Chinese-developed hit mobile game, has climbed bestseller charts in multiple countries – all proving 'Created in China' is no longer playing catch-up, but setting the pace. – Xinhua

Barbie Hsu's kids at centre of drama as stepmum complains about costly camp fee
Wang Xiaofei and Mandy Ma held a wedding ceremony just last month, after registering their marriage in 2024. The late Barbie Hsu (far right) had two children with Wang. Photos: Mandy Ma/Instagram, Barbie Hsu/Instagram Drama is heating up in the Wang Xiaofei household after his new wife, Mandy Ma, sparked outrage online over a livestream comment she made about summer camp costs, reported Sin Chew Daily . The 44-year-old Chinese businessman is the ex-husband of the late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu. Wang and Hsu share two kids from their 11-year marriage: an 11-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son. Hsu passed away in February at the age of 49 due to pneumonia-related complications. This latest controversy began during a livestream, where 26-year-old influencer Ma mentioned that the 2,000 yuan (RM1,177) summer camp fee for one of Hsu's children seemed 'a bit expensive'. Ma's comment didn't sit well with netizens, who quickly accused her of being stingy – especially since she is now a stepmother to Hsu's children. Responding to the backlash, Ma clarified that the 2,000 yuan fee – equivalent to TWD$8,215 – was for just one hour of camp. 'The payment has already been made,' she explained. 'We were just casually chatting – thank you for treating our family matters like your own.' Despite the online criticism, Ma is said to be actively involved in her stepchildren's lives. One of the kids even wrote her a heartfelt Mothers Day card this year, saying: 'Thank you for often taking me abroad. Happy Mothers Day.' Wang and Ma held a lavish wedding ceremony last month, a year after registering their marriage.

Isabella Leong, who once dated a HK billionaire, reportedly in new relationship
Actress Isabella Leong is believed to be dating Chinese actor and director Marc Ma. Photos: Isabella Leong/Instagram, Sin Chew Daily Macau-born actress Isabella Leong, the ex-girlfriend of Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li, has apparently found love again, Sin Chew Daily reported. The 36-year-old recently sparked dating rumours after she was photographed attending an event with Chinese actor and director Marc Ma, who's nine years her senior. The pair were later seen holding hands as they left the venue, appearing happy and relaxed as they chatted and laughed. It's reported that the two had dinner together later in the day. According to Hong Kong media reports, speculation about Leong and Ma's budding romance first surfaced in late 2024, when they were spotted leaving a cafe in Beijing hand-in-hand. The rumours intensified when netizens noted that Leong has been spending much of her time in Beijing in recent years, suggesting it may be because she wants to be closer to Ma, 45. Leong met Li on the set of The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor through Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh in 2008. Both Yeoh and Leong starred in that Hollywood movie. Although she was initially interested in marrying Li – with whom she shares three children – Leong decided to call it quits in February 2011 as she 'couldn't accept' how 'popular' the billionaire was with women. 'I needed more security in my life,' she said in a talk show last year. Meanwhile, Ma began his career as a child actor in the 1991 film Fazike but initially struggled to find a foothold in the industry. After graduating from high school, he left his hometown of Lanzhou and travelled to Beijing to sit for the entrance exam at the Central Academy of Drama which he unfortunately failed. In 2000, Ma found work as a production assistant at a drama production company and later starred in the 2003 series Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils – a role that opened more doors for casting opportunities. He gained fame for his performance in the 2013 film The White Storm , which earned him the Best Newcomer prize at the Hundred Flower Awards.
