50-year-old Best Actress Charmaine Sheh (Ah Sheh) has seen her popularity surge again for her role in the TVB drama "The Queen of News," and her earning power remains strong. Though she is a domineering queen in her career, at home, Ah Sheh is a 100% devoted daughter. "Eastweek" recently caught her going to a BBQ meat restaurant after work to buy extra dishes, even calling her mother to check in. These simple actions are full of filial piety.
When she was 5, Ah Sheh's father passed away in a car accident, leaving her mother to raise her and her two siblings alone—a family bond that is extremely strong. To repay her mother's sacrifices, after becoming financially independent, Ah Sheh spent HK$35 million (approximately RM17.44 million) in 2015 to purchase connected detached houses in Sai Kung, even gifting one of the houses to her mother to ensure a comfortable retirement. However, in recent years, Sheh’s mother has unfortunately been stricken with a serious illness, raising concerns for her health. To help her mother recover, Ah Sheh not only accompanied her to various Western medical clinics, but also searched widely for effective traditional Chinese remedies.
In addition, according to close friends, the ever-filial Ah Sheh made a bold decision to move house on the advice of a metaphysics expert. She was willing to spend nearly HK$2 million (about RM1 million) a year in rent, moving to a prestigious, well-feng-shuied duplex mansion in Mid-Levels, becoming neighbors with other celebrities such as Moses Chan. According to the expert, the feng shui of this new home would not only help her mother battle illness, but also boost Ah Sheh’s own fortunes. The mansion commands a monthly rent as high as HK$166,000 (about RM82,000), but for her mother's health, Ah Sheh feels it’s all worth it. Encouragingly, after moving into the new residence, Sheh’s mother’s health improved significantly, with better spirits and complexion; meanwhile, Ah Sheh’s career has been flourishing and everything’s going smoothly. #
