Broken marriages rise in China over last decade, report Cui Jia, He Na and Wu Wencong in Beijing.

'Sometimes, I believe everything comes with an expiration date and no relationship can be immortal" is a lyric from a love song by Faye Wong, the Chinese pop diva, who announced the end of her second marriage on Friday.

Wong, 44, and former actor turned business mogul Li Yapeng, 41, who had been married for eight years, signed a divorce agreement on Friday in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where Li was born. Li has been awarded custody of the couple's 6-year-old daughter.
