Life as a single mother has not been easy for Shirley Yeung (楊思琦) ever since the birth of her daughter, Krystal Yeung (楊卓穎), in February 2012. No matter how hard life may be, she continues to stay optimistic and hard-working. At the moment, little Krystal is Shirley’s first priority. Although Shirley has not been actively filming dramas, she raked in an annual income of $2 million HKD. The bulk of the income was from lucrative stage performances in mainland China, coupled with endorsement fees and promotional appearances. Last month, Shirley was spotted taking her daughter to a playgroup in Wan Chai. After parking her car, she pushed the baby carriage and walked for 10 minutes before arriving at the playgroup. Reporters realized that there was a closer parking space that charged $25 HKD per hour, but it seemed like Shirley would rather save the money and walk. While Krystal stayed at the playgroup, Shirley chatted with other parents for some childcare tips. An insider revealed that Shirley was very focused on providing her daughter a good education. The playgroup charged $500 HKD per month, aiming to stimulate the young children’s senses through a variety of activities and games. The teachers are very professional and caring towards the children. Furthermore, the spots for the one-year old class were limited, and a draw had to be used to determine the students’ enrollments. Shirley worked hard right after the birth of Krystal. She would appear as a spokesperson, or perform onstage whenever she had the chance. TVB management executive, Virginia Lok (樂易玲), tried to offer Shirley job opportunities whenever possible. Shirley expressed, “She has constantly been helping me, and I’m very grateful.” In the middle of the year, Shirley will be participating in a mini movie as the female lead. Creds: Sudden Weekly
