Hong Kong singer-actress Cecilia Cheung has sparked concern among fans after revealing that she has been battling health issues while continuing to manage a busy schedule.
In a video posted on July 10, the 46-year-old revealed that medical tests confirmed she was suffering from “severe anaemia”.
To help with her condition, Cheung said her manager has purchased iron supplements, which she is required to take three times a day.
“Hopefully, these supplements can help improve my anaemia,” she said.
In the video, Cheung also checked her temperature, adding that while her fever had subsided, she was still exhausted.
Fans have left messages wishing her a speedy recovery, while others urged the Lost In Time (2003) star to rest and reduce her workload.
Earlier on July 4, Cheung sparked concern among fans after appearing noticeably weak during her performance in Beijing, China.
At the time, she said she had chosen to push through the show despite running a high fever.
