CNBC AI News has learned that Dangdang founder Li Guoqing and Zhang Danhong are set to wed on August 16, 2025. The news has sent ripples through the business and social spheres, marking a new chapter for the prominent entrepreneur.
The bride, Zhang Danhong, a Beijing native, is also an alumna of Peking University, where she and Li Guoqing both studied. She previously worked as a journalist with Deutsche Welle.
Days before the official announcement, Li Guoqing shared a video of himself at a performance of the musical “Notre-Dame de Paris” on social media, accompanied by the caption, “Living for those you love; to love, is far more profound than simply loving!” The post seemed to hint at his excitement and anticipation for the future.
Last night, Li Guoqing formally acknowledged the wedding in social media, stating, “Thank you for the well wishes from friends. We’ll strive to perform well on this ‘make-up exam’.”
The wedding is scheduled to take place at the Ziyunxuan in Beijing on August 16, 2025, with the venue confirmed. The couple’s invitation is unique, expressing “two trains that missed their stops [and] finally arrived at the same platform in their twilight years,” which sets a romantic tone for their late-life union, which they are calling “A Delayed Answer for Two Peking University Graduates.”
Instead of gifts, the invitation asks guests to donate 500 yuan to a primary school in Guizhou, a reflection of the couple’s philanthropic inclinations.
The announcement comes after Li Guoqing and his ex-wife reached a final settlement on their divorce proceedings, ending a seven-year legal battle.
In recent months Li Guoqing, now 61, appears eager to embrace this new phase of his life following a series of turbulent events. We wish him well in his future endeavors alongside his soon-to-be wife.
