Hawick Lau and Li Xiaofeng are rumored to have split, drawing significant public attention.

(Beijing, April 9) The past marriage between Hong Kong actor Hawick Lau and his ex-wife, Chinese star Yang Mi, has once again come under public scrutiny, sparking renewed discussion online. At the same time, his current relationship with Chinese actress Li Xiaofeng is now rumored to be facing difficulties.

According to reports, a trending topic questioning “how much disappointment Yang Mi endured before ending the marriage” has reignited interest in their past relationship, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Meanwhile, Li Xiaofeng has reportedly deleted posts showcasing her relationship with Hawick Lau, and the couple has not been seen together publicly for some time. These developments have led many to speculate that their once high-profile romance may have quietly come to an end.

Adding to the speculation, Hawick Lau’s father, Lau Dan, recently shifted his stance when asked about his son’s relationship. Previously full of praise for Li Xiaofeng, he now stated that he is unsure whether his son is currently in a relationship—further fueling breakup rumors.

As questions swirl around his personal life, Hawick Lau’s career trajectory is also being compared to that of Yang Mi. Since their divorce, his career has appeared to slow down, with a noticeable decline in popularity and reports of him taking on smaller regional commercial appearances. In contrast, Yang Mi continues to maintain her position as a top-tier actress, securing numerous endorsements. Reflecting on their past, she once remarked calmly, “The longest project we shared was raising our daughter.” She has also consistently protected her child’s privacy, refusing to let family matters be overly publicized—an approach that has earned admiration and highlighted the stark contrast in their post-divorce paths.
