HK celeb Lydia Sum, who died on Tuesday, lived for her only child after divorce
I thought it was a nice article on how great a mom Lydia was. She never gave up on Joyce's dreams of entering the entertainment industry and always supported her despite having so many setbacks and negative feedback from the audience. I find that not a lot of Asian parents are supportive of their children's career paths, especially when things aren't looking great.
Lydia also sacrificed having a love life just because her daughter was scared that the step-father wouldn't love her. I think that's quite selfish of Joyce, but perhaps she was very young then, and years passed and Lydia just didn't find the need to have a man in her life. But to be able to give up one's happiness for another person at any time, one must love that person dearly.
It was sad that she was not able to see Joyce married and have kids yet, which are events I think every parent wants to see for their child. I don't know whether Joyce would ever be able to really be in the entertainment circle and win HK's people heart, but I do hope she'll find happiness with whatever she will do. That is probably what Lydia would want.
