Li Ya Peng accepting an interview after settling the case peacefully at Thailand's airport yesterday Does not have the power to override law Li Ya Peng accepted an interview after settling the matter peacefully. He was still firm on his motive about the assault of the reporters,saying that he did that to defend and protect his daughter. Li said "I wanted to say,as a normal man,i have no power to override the law. Also,as a normal man,i have no power to influence the society to show pity at celebrities. However as a father,i have the right to protect my daughter and fight for her best interest. I hope that everyone will understand their limits. I have already mentioned my principle before. My family,my wife,and my daughters are my bottom line. You can take pictures of me,stalk me and do anything. But don't ever bother my daughter. It won't be good for anybody if similiar incidents happen again in future. Everyone can take pictures of me and my wife,but not my children. Even if you want,do it in a far distance,don't scare them." How did Faye Wong feel? Faye Wong was calm when she arrived to Beijing airport yesterday.

Faye Wong was emotionless when Li Ya Peng told the reporters that the case has already been solved and closed. Source : Mingpao,Oriental Daily Translated by Edward @ http://******************/forums/
I really dont know who fault is it. As it is not right to beat people up but if is me I might react worse as I hate people touch my family.
I know it's really bad when the press is right up into your personal lives and focusing on the underage daughter. It's still bad to let your anger out and beat up someone
I still totally blame the reporters, it wasnt as if he didnt initially tell the reporters not to take photos of his daughter, the reporters just had no self respect and kept on taking photos really close up scareing the girl. If i was a parent id beat them up, could never let anyone harm my child.
ugh, theres nothing to apologize Li, those reporters deserved it!!! and touche chibi, i would so attack those reporters to protect me family
If that was me I would have hit them as soon as they stuck that camera in her face. There paps are just getting worse and worse
The reporters instigated it. They planned it, they arranged it. If your still befuddled by it, then you have to look and get a feel of what it's like to be harassed consistently. I back Li ya Peng up, totally. A dog doesn't bite you if you don't harass it. It's as simple as that. Go to texas, threaten someone and you'll be shot and it's as simple as that.
Yup. I'd grab the camera, smash it. HK celebs need to hire black body guards. They have no entourage.
