The actor chose to develop a lodging business model by Dien Tri Lake, while continuing to maintain charity activities.
In August this year, Ly A Bang's Thien Tam Mac Van homestay opened by Dien Tri Lake, Kunming (China). Next to him are close people such as his 81-year-old mother, daughter Ly Yen who just returned from abroad, and old friend Chu Kiet - who co-starred in the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The event also had the participation of representatives of the local cultural and tourism sectors.
From a famous actress of Chinese cinema, Ly A Bang has tried her hand in many fields after leaving the screen, from the Internet, publishing, restaurant business to cultural and tourism real estate development.
Among his projects, the Nui Tuyet Le Giang Art Town project encountered difficulties due to misjudging the market and cash flow disruption. Ly A Bang was once involved in a debt dispute of more than 40 million CNY and was restricted from consumption. Business failures and marital fluctuations caused him to fall into a difficult period.
To solve financial pressure, the actor switched to livestreaming sales. However, besides paying debts, he still maintains charity activities. Ly A Bang and his ex-wife Vuong Phi established the Yen Nhien Angel Fund, supporting children with cleft lip and palate defects. After nearly 20 years of operation, the fund has supported thousands of children with surgery.
Yen Nhien Angel Children's Hospital also faced financial difficulties, including an overdue land rent of more than 20 million CNY. After negotiations, the hospital acquired a new land plot in Chaoyang, Beijing, ending 14 years of location lease. The restriction on consumption for Li Yapeng was also lifted.
During the time of focusing on livestreaming, Ly A Bang quietly returned to the field of culture and tourism. Thien Tam Mac Van facility by Dien Tri Lake is the second branch of the brand that he has developed for nearly 10 years.
In 2017, he took over and renovated a project at the World Exhibition Park in Kunming, investing about 30 million CNY. By 2024, this facility was recognized as a national type A tourist homestay.
A recent event also attracted attention. The Yen Nhien Angel Fund received a donation of 99,999 CNY from Ho Tan Dieu, a girl who was once noticed for taking off her jacket to clean the subway floor in Chongqing after a passenger vomited blood. When she learned that she was being treated for a serious illness, Li Yapeng returned the money and also donated 99,999 CNY to the patient support organization she participated in.
After many years of turmoil, Li Yapeng is continuing to build a new life from jobs familiar to him: accommodation business, cultural - tourism development and charity. This journey is likened to the image of Guo Jing that he once portrayed on screen: not going fast, but persistently pursuing the chosen path.
