LIKE many children of Asian mothers, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh (pic) still cannot escape her mum\u2019s nagging, although she is now an international star.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a few days ago, my mum kept saying: \u2018Why are you so thin? Why are you working so hard?\u2019\u201d the Oscar-winning actress quipped during an interview with Sin Chew Daily.<\/p>\n
But Yeoh said she understands those are simply her mother\u2019s way of expressing love.<\/p>\n
The Ipoh-born star was promoting her latest Chinese-language film, It\u2019s My Time, which hit local cinemas on Thursday.<\/p>\n
She plays a master of the Rubik\u2019s Cube named Zhao Yanhong.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chinese actor Bai Ke plays Yeoh\u2019s son, whose relationship with his mother is defined by her constant nagging and disagreements with his wife over parenting.<\/p>\n
\u201cAsian parents especially like to express their love by nagging.<\/p>\n
\u201cZhao Yanhong is always telling her son he\u2019s not capable enough or that he lacks confidence,\u201d she said, noting that in many Eastern families, love is deeply hidden.<\/p>\n
> A doctor in China has become an Internet sensation for having the name Ye Lvsu, which means \u201cchlorophyll\u201d in Chinese, reported China Press.<\/p>\n
Amused netizens joked that it is a perfect name for the doctor working at a hospital in Chongqing, Sichuan \u00adprovince.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe name sounds professional the moment you hear it,\u201d one netizen quipped.<\/p>\n
The online buzz began after a social media user shared the doctor\u2019s profile from the hospital\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n
It stated that he is a deputy chief physician at the Occupational Diseases and Toxicology Department.<\/p>\n
Having graduated from China Medical University, he has spent 17 years working in the field.<\/p>\n
