Shirley Yeung Celebrates 35th Birthday

Shirley Yeung (楊思琦) was hard at work even on her birthday on August 7. The 35-year-old was busy filming the latest iteration of the anti-corruption series, ICAC Investigators 2014 <廉政行動 2014>. When director Herman Yau (邱禮濤) discovered it was Shirley’s birthday, he immediately wished her a happy birthday and said, “It is good for artists to work on their birthdays. It means that there will always be work available for as long as you want it!”

Knowing that she will have to work on her special day, Shirley already made plans to celebrate with her family ahead of time. When asked about her birthday plans, Shirley shared that she is looking forward to returning home to her daughter Krystal (楊卓穎). “Another year older! Nowadays all I can think about is my daughter. She was calling out to me as I left for work. I didn’t want to come to work at all! When I am done here I will immediately go home to be with her.”

Despite not having any time off, Shirley enjoyed a happy day with her co-workers on set. She posted several photos taken with her director and co-stars on Weibo, saying “I am very glad to be able to spend my birthday with a group of great colleagues. Spending it at work is actually pretty fun. It is more lively with everyone!” Later the cast treated Shirley to a meal and everyone was in high spirits as they toasted the birthday girl.

Recently, New Zealand’s major dairy company Fonterra announced that their baby formula may have been tainted with bacteria that could cause botulism, which leads to muscle weakness and paralysis that could potentially be fatal. As Shirley’s daughter is still taking formula, reporters asked if she is concerned about the recent news. Shirley said, “There is nothing wrong with the formula that my daughter takes. She really likes to drink milk, so I will not force her to stop the habit.”

  1. Happy Birthday, Shirley! Wish you best luck in your acting career ………. more work and drama series to act!

  2. i feel so sorry for her. Back then, she was highly respected by heaps of people and she had heaps of promos and endorsements for her. Now, after giving birth to an illegitimate baby, no one cares about her and there are only news about her every one in a while.

    1. People in Hong Kong usually have short memories of their movie stars and TV artistes. Hopefully they will forget about Shirely’s past and re-accept her again. She is not a bad actress after all.

      1. The article just confirmed she lied about her pregnancy.

      2. i would want out too if boyfriend’s mom and brother treat me like an atm machine

  3. She is 1 of the most ugliest Miss Hong Kong winners ever.
    The awful public break up with her ex was so wrong. She handled it very badly and caused so much bad publicity to herself. Its Karma!

    1. Even if she did do some bad things in the past and all, it is now the past so it is time to let it go because life is short. Also, even if it is karma, she has paid for it already…

    2. Even if Shirley handled her breakup very badly, she had already paid for it (took all the consequences and had her image ruined). It is about time to let it go, as HeTieShou said.

    3. she’s ugly? did you get to see her in person? she looks okay in tv series, maybe her choice of boyfriend was bad but she’s taking care of her child, didn’t abandon her baby or go for abortion, btw, nobody’s perfect in this world and right now she hopes to be the best mom

      1. Totally agree! From my eyes she is a hard working mom providing support to her daughter! Keep up the good work Shirley!

  4. I remembered how much I loved her performance in The Brink Of Law, I thought she was great in there. Unfortunately that’s about the only good performance she gave, that proves one thing she needs more villain roles because she is capable of it. She wasn’t that bad in Devil’s Disciples either but not enough screen time.

    I really don’t care about her previous relationships but I do sympathize with her situation, it’s not easy being a single mom and I’m glad she took up that responsibility and still come back to the world that once judged her.

  5. Never liked her after all that drama. Sorry, no sympathy from me after what she did.

  6. She has to work on her birthday? Heaven forbid! 😛

    People (like woot) need to get over what happened. She didn’t really do anything seriously wrong. She’s a single mother who kept the child (when others might not have) and is working hard to provide for her family. Wishing her success.

  7. Shirley is only average looking with so-so acting skills. There are better looking actresses or with better acting skills than her. She was just smart to perservere and take small bit roles in order to increase her chances in landing bigger and better roles.

  8. Everyone makes mistakes. Shirley did, too. But as she moves on, we need to accept her and trust that she as learned her lessons.
    Can’t say I liked all her shows/acting but I noticed her trying harder and even taking on campy roles..for that I admire her. Also the fact that she decided to have her child and bring her up singlehandedly.
    Maybe one day she will find familial bliss…

    1. I agree and no one is perfect. Whatever she did, she has paid for it already and is now struggling as a single mom. Therefore, I don’t see what is not to forgive and the most important thing is for her to learn from her mistakes. That is the most important when anyone does anything wrong.

      1. Forgiveness is a good thing to do. But how do you forgive when that person doesn’t clarify her mistakes and ask for chances and forgiveness? I find it hard to see her innocent. As long as she doesn’t admit her mistakes I think many still sees her as a cheater and lair.

      2. You ok? Struggling single mom? She has 2 apartments in Hk. Struggling single mom is someone on welfare or make minimum wage and take care of the children. Go to the poor area in you city and see see what struggling single mom is. Shirley makes a few thousand each time she does show, maybe more than few thousand, you call that struggling?

        Some honest actress makes few thousand a month but liar and cheater Shirley makes more than that and we need to give her sympathy? World is nuts

      3. Ok maybe she is not really struggling financially but being a single mom is still very hard. But whatever..

      4. Yeah whatever. All single parent have hard life. Insult to real struggling single parent. Compare them with liar and cheater.

      5. I agree.. the world is nuts when people are so caustic to each other. You have no idea what the true situation is with the past relationships. There are two sides to the story, one of which paints Shirley as a victim of meddling parents forcing her a certain way. Are you 100% certain she wasn’t pushed? Can you safely say without any doubt that others didn’t interfere with her life? Can you say without doubt that the original relationship was perfect?

        The past is the past… she didn’t kill anyone. She hasn’t done anything that hasn’t been done a million times over by men and women alike. But at least she didn’t abandon her child.

        You, however, would strip her of her job. She’s an actress, it is what she does, and right now she’s willing to take on any work to help support herself. How is that any different from any other single mom trying to return to the job she has been trained for or did before the child?

        humans really are terrible to each other.

      6. Well said TVBFanatic! I agree with you and being a single mom in general is really hard since they have to take on both roles of the parents. Being even one role is already hard but having to do both is twice as hard. I know some stay at home moms who married well off guys and think they are struggling since they can’t work and have to live off one income. However, did they ever think of the single moms that have to provide for themselves regardless of whether they make a lot or not.

        We really do not know what truly happened with Shirley and Greg’s family. There are 2 sides to a story and I have a feeling that Shirley being with him and his family may not have been the greatest time of her life. But everything is now the past and she is trying to move on and took responsibility for the child that she chose to have.

        Why do people have to be so mean and nasty to each other???I really do not get it.

      7. I don’t support someone mean I strip her of job? Works that way? How? Teach me.

        I have Right to not support her, Whys wrong? Lots of people go on here and say even more nasty things indirect say Christine fat pig or Gillian *. I just say she is liar and cheater. She went on tvb and say she not pregnant and cried but she is pregnant. Not cheating but need to lie? Cheating is cheating no excuse. If relationship not good break up and go with Andy, not wrong. Cheating is.

        Human not only nasty, they are hypocrite too. Say should not do one thing but do it themselves. Say we should not judge but still judge other and assume things then believe it like fact. Right hts?

    2. The only thing she did right in her mistakes was having that baby daughter.

      1. Yes. But if that baby daughter grew up listening to others gossiping/ judging/criticising her mother it’ll be sad indeed. If she appreciates the sacrifices her mother made to bring her into this world, all is fine. If she doesn’t, it’ll be a bigger heartbreak for Shirley.

      2. shirley deserves all this because she was the perpetrator in the first place who cheated on poor gregory and has the kid with another guy. don’t feel any sympathy for shirley if her daughter hated her when she grows up when she got bullied at school later and everyone call her mom cheater

  9. I find Shirley’s cheerful personality to be a better fit as a variety show anchor rather than lead actress material. Sitcoms would be a better fit than regular dramas though.

    Wonder what will be her next projects as she will be back in filming dramas due to recent TVB staff shortages.

    1. I find her cheerful personality very fake. She is beautiful but isn’t smart. I think she’s very naïve. She doesn’t know how to handle relationships and the media. Ignoring the truth is just making herself seem more and more fake! People are not that dumb, they remembered she’s a cheater, lair, who made poor decisions on man. She’s going to have trouble finding a wealthy man who will accept her past. Used to like her but now she left me with a sour feeling.

      1. Same here…I always feel that she tries really hard to be cheerful in front of people. In other words, fake

      2. What else do you expect her to do? To have Shirley feel sorry and cry all the time when she speaks to the media?! She will have a tougher time. She is not asking for sympathy. She just wants to move on. Why can’t people give her another chance and forget her past?

      3. Because humans judge first and when it happens to them, they will ask ‘Why are people doing this to me?’

        Lol. Can’t really doing anything. Its innate.

      4. Good point Crystal! Sadly, many humans are selfish and continue to criticize others until it happens to them. That’s when they know how it feels. Many people usually do not care until it happens to them or someone they care about. People usually don’t learn until they get a taste of it…

      5. HTS,
        That’s right. But just cause its innate, it doesn’t mean humans can’t learn to discipline themselves and try to see things in a different perspective. Takes practice, lots of it.

  10. in case you’re interested, there is a gossip show hosted by spencer leung which dedicates an entire episode on the identity of krystal’s father. apparently, reporters believe the father is neither gregory lee nor andy ng! 0.0

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rZTxjzxpl8

    1. It is just gossip and it is not important at all. That is her business of who the father is.

  11. I’m about to give you people a piece of my mind.
    1st of all, she’s ugly? If she’s ugly then how did she won Miss Hong Kong? & She holds the record for the most award won in the contest.
    2nd of all, she isn’t bad at acting, she’s not the best, but she isn’t bad. Acting is a learning process, if you people think it is so EASY, then try it. If you become successful, then you can come back and prove me wrong. But if not, then shut up.
    & 3rd of all, what did she do wrong? So she had a baby without a husband. Like get over it! Millions of people have sex everyday and get pregnant, Its not like you guises won’t have sex one day. If you wanna go ‘HATE’ someone, why don’t you go hate on all the teenage moms out there. And not come for her, she’s 35, not 15 or 16 getting pregnant. Okay? Okay.

    1. I don’t hate Shirley but I think people may not like her because she cheated on her boyfriend and karma bite her in the butt when the new guy dumped her also.

      1. I disagree on the karma thing and the beauty thing but Shirley Yeung is a terrible terrible actress. But I feel these days she is desperate to get back to full time work and since there are many more terrible terrible actresses, I feel she should be given a chance. After all motherhood,some hardship and some heartbreak may give her news perspective in acting.
