Preamble:
In 2023, a 61-year-old Asian actress won the Academy Award for Best Actress, becoming the first Asian actress in history, which is undoubtedly a big celebration in the film industry.
Immediately afterwards, she married a 77-year-old rich man who had pursued her for 19 years, and the wedding of the two was grand and luxurious.
Just when everyone was still rejoicing about their romantic story, at the beginning of 2024, the actress announced on social platforms that she had a "little miracle on the first day of the new year".
This series of events sounds as heartwarming as a send-off in the snow, and people can't help but ask, is all this real?
How the first Asian Oscar actress came to be
Her path from the film industry was not smooth, and since her debut in the 80s, Michelle Yeoh has gradually become famous in Chinese and Western films with her excellent acting skills.
Especially in the 90s, she played the character and charm of oriental women in films such as "Royal Sister" and "007: Tomorrow's Empire", which made her internationally famous.
As an exotic actress, Michelle Yeoh not only has to face the test of her own strength, but also needs to face various prejudices from the mainstream culture.
For example, many Western filmmakers are not optimistic about Asian faces, nor do they know how to portray the unique personality of Eastern women.
However, Michelle Yeoh was not defeated by these circumstances, but continued to improve herself and constantly enrich her inner cultivation.
She read Chinese and foreign classics, learned art from teachers, and integrated the core of Chinese and Western cultures.
In front of the camera, she uses her eyes to advance layer by layer, outlines the characters with subtle expressions, and releases the oriental charm with her smart figure.
Tender girl, deep woman, tough mother...... Michelle Yeoh is an all-around chameleon, and she uses her cultural heritage to give these different characters a unique vitality.
However, what really makes her a global Asian American is her outstanding performance in the sci-fi film "Instant Universe" in 2023.
This film about space exploration has many challenges.
The first is the novelty of the subject matter, which tests the actor's cosmic knowledge and imagination.
The second is that there are many action scenes, but they are limited by the space of the studio.
This is also a big challenge to Michelle Yeoh's physical function after the age of 60.
However, as an experienced person, she not only has a big breakthrough in terms of technology, but also has no sense of disobedience when performing life-and-death mechanical actions.
This is due to her excellent acting skills and deep grasp of her physical limits.
It is Michelle Yeoh's dedication to the art of cinema that has won the unanimous recognition of the audience and the judges.
In this film, Michelle Yeoh plays a terminally ill space explorer.
In the face of the vastness of the universe and the fragility of life, the heroine's drama of struggling to survive on the edge of the ultimate has touched countless audiences.
When Michelle Yeoh picked up the little golden man, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
As an excellent actor who has been fighting for many years, this moment of brilliance is undoubtedly the most glorious moment in her acting career.
A 19-year courtship marathon with a 77-year-old billionaire
When her career was in full swing, Michelle Yeoh's relationship also ushered in a highlight moment.
On July 28, 2023, 61-year-old Michelle Yeoh tied the knot with 77-year-old former Ferrari chairman Jean Todd.
The couple's story is full of drama.
In June 2004, the two met for the first time in a golf game.
Michelle Yeoh, with the unique charm of Eastern women, deeply attracted the attention of Jean Todd, a successful man in the West.
Jean Todd was born into a family of car dealers in Italy and had a soft spot for car culture from an early age.
He likes Michelle Yeoh's unique oriental beauty and appreciates her excellent performance in acting.
In his eyes, Michelle Yeoh is not only charming on the outside, but also full of personality and depth of thought on the inside, which is exactly what his dream ideal partner looks like.
At the end of July, Jean Todd immediately proposed to Michelle Yeoh.
However, this sudden flame did not make Michelle Yeoh nod immediately.
Because at this time, she was still working hard for her career as an actress.
Years of struggle on the road of acting have made her know that the peak of her career is extremely difficult and requires uncompromising dedication.
And Jean Todd's marriage proposal is tantamount to a turning point, pulling her to distract herself from facing marriage and family.
So at the beginning, Michelle Yeoh couldn't decisively choose feelings.
So, Jean Todd chose to wait patiently and proved his sincerity to Michelle Yeoh with 19 years of companionship.
During this period, he silently supported the development of Michelle Yeoh's career and never asked for a result.
He also gradually found his place in Michelle Yeoh's world - an image of a lover who understands her, trusts her, and wholeheartedly wants her to fly higher.
In the past 19 years, the two have experienced life and death tribulations, and they have also found resonance in the precipitation of time.
Michelle Yeoh's acting career is in full swing, and she also saw the courage to be herself from Jean Todd.
When she can finally stop running, this silently guarded lover is still waiting for her behind her.
So, she finally mustered up the courage to lead this long-overdue marriage.
No matter how you look at it, this is a sincere love that is cross-border and cross-cultural, and it took 19 years to write a perfect ending.
This kind of enduring bonding that transcends races and boundaries has also inspired countless ordinary people who strive for love.
The "Little Miracle of the New Year" of Billions of Grandmothers
At the end of 2023, the "Golden Boy and Girl" returned to the bride Michelle Yeoh's hometown of Malaysia hand in hand.
In December, a lavish wedding ceremony takes place here.
Rich people, royalty, and celebrities from all walks of life gathered, and it was very lively.
The newcomers are accompanied by aerial floats and fireworks displays, and the pomp and circumstance are astounding.
On the first New Year after the wedding of the century, the newlyweds brought another surprise to everyone - they welcomed a cute little life.
On New Year's Day 2024, Michelle Yeoh posted a photo of a baby's feet on social networking sites and wrote: "A little miracle has come on the first day of the new year!
The news immediately went viral on the Internet.
Everyone speculated whether this was Michelle Yeoh's biological child.
After all, for a 61-year-old woman, the possibility of natural fertility is very small.
In addition, Michelle Yeoh has just been married for less than half a year, and the time for pregnancy is very tight.
Therefore, the truth of this "little miracle on the first day of the new year" immediately became the focus of everyone's attention and discussion.
There are also some bad-hearted netizens who directly questioned that this was Michelle Yeoh's baby born using surrogacy.
They even demanded that Michelle Yeoh apologize and stop using women's bodies.
Soon, the truth was revealed - this little baby was not Michelle Yeoh's own child, but her stepson's child, so she went directly from being an actor to a grandmother.
Michelle Yeoh had a brief marriage in her early years, which was born to her ex-husband.
Now the arrival of this grandson has become her most amazing gift for the New Year.
Given that Michelle Yeoh's husband Jean Todd has a net worth of up to 100 billion yuan, this new little grandmother will also have endless wealth.
Presumably, the happy life of the three generations of the old and young will also be the envy of countless people.
Grandma's heartwarming declaration: I am ecstatic for this very special joy
From a movie queen to a billionaire woman, to a little grandmother, Michelle Yeoh has used her 61 years of life to perfectly interpret what is the true happiness of women.
Once upon a time, she also left a Hong Kong tycoon who asked her to give up her dreams for the sake of her acting career.
So, when she met Jean Todd, who could tolerate her pursuits, Michelle Yeoh understood that she had found true love.
Now, she is even more ecstatic with a bumper harvest in her career and family.
She wrote on social media: "I am ecstatic for this very special joy!"
Indeed, being able to enter the marriage hall with a man who has been silently guarding her for many years, and being lucky enough to enjoy the fun of being a grandmother, Michelle Yeoh is glad that she did not miss this belated marriage when she was young.
In fact, Michelle Yeoh, who is 16 years different from her husband, also had doubts about this relationship at first.
After all, in addition to the age gap, the two have completely different growth backgrounds and lifestyles.
As a nobleman of Western high society, Jean Todd has an innate elegance and taste.
And Michelle Yeoh was originally just a girl in a small Malaysian town, and later worked hard for her family all over the world.
However, there are no borders in front of love, and there are no barriers of identity.
In the end, it was Jean Todd's indomitable love for Michelle Yeoh that moved her.
When she also let go of all her worries and decided to hold this sincere hand, two people from different worlds finally became married.
And this love that transcends time and space will also be talked about by tens of millions of people.
Epilogue:
The romance and extraordinariness of Asian actresses and hundreds of millions of grandmothers are also very scary after thinking about it, and it turns out that they are all real.
