This site claims to have a driver. https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver

I have no way of testing it.

UrAvrgLnuxUsr,

Your wifi uses Realtek RTL8723BE.

New wifi drivers are available from:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/

These instructions for Debian should do the trick for Deepin 15.11:

You may also need to tweak the signal quality as per answer #2 on this link for Ubuntu:
