Hong Kong singer-actress Miriam Yeung showed up for a slew of work commitments in recent weeks, but unknown to many, she had undergone an operation just before those events took place.
The 51-year-old was a guest performer at Chinese singer Jike Junyi’s concert in Shenzhen in late July and performed at Strawberry Music Festival in Harbin in mid-August.
Yeung was a guest performer at Hong Kong singer Terence Lam’s concert in Hong Kong in late August. She then appeared with American actor Daniel Wu and Hong Kong actor William Chan for a branding event in Shanghai. She was also a guest performer at Hong Kong singer-actor Jordan Chan’s concert in Chengdu on Sept 6.
“I have outperformed myself after working for 12 consecutive days,” Yeung wrote in Chinese on social media on Sept 7. “Looking back to a few weeks ago, I was a little worried when a routine ‘factory check-up’ turned into ‘repairs’.”
She posted several photos of herself at photo shoots and on stage, and a final photo of a cannula inserted into her hand without disclosing what the operation was for.
“Thankfully, it was just a minor issue,” she added. “A few days after the procedure, Cherie Yu made it to the stage on time.” She was referring to her character in the Love In A Puff film trilogy (2010 to 2017), which also starred Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue.
“To this day, I remain deeply grateful to my colleagues and my team for their care and support,” she wrote. “I’m slowly recovering now, but still need proper rest to get back in shape.”
She has a 13-year-old son with her husband, Hong Kong public relations executive Real Ting, 46.
Yeung revealed on social media in 2013 that she was discharged from hospital after an operation which went well, without disclosing details.
She said in a 2019 episode of Chinese reality show Viva La Romance that she struggled with uterine fibroids, which are benign tumours in the uterus, during her pregnancy.
Yeung will be holding four concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum from Nov 29 to Dec 2 to mark her 30th year in show business.
