Yang Mi: I don't consider myself the perfect mother
10 Jun - As netizens began to change their perception regarding Yang Mi's parenting, the actress recently admitted that she does not consider herself the perfect mother. In a recent interview with Chinese media, the actress shared that people have different definition of what a perfect mother is, and that she would never be perfect in the eyes of others. "There are thousands of ways to be perfect in the eyes of a thousand people. We certainly can't be perfect in the eyes of others, so I think it doesn't take courage to admit that you are not perfect. It is a normal thing. Don't put too much pressure on yourself," she said, adding that one should try to be a good mother rather than a perfect one. Yang Mi also said that when it comes to educating her daughter Noemie, she hopes that she can respect her daughter's wishes instead of controlling her. She revealed that her daughter loves painting and they would often paint together. "Everyone is their own person. A mum who continues to grow, stays true to herself, and brings positive vibes, that is the most precious gift she can give her child," she said. It was earlier this month that good friend Evonne Sie denied the notion that the actress was a negligent mother, saying that the actress would often talk about her daughter to her friends.

Highs and lows as Fox takes gold from World Cup opener
Three-time Olympic champion Jessica Fox has finished the opening canoe slalom World Cup of the year in Spain with mixed fortunes, unable to add another medal to her C1 triumph. Jessica and younger sister Noemie took on the kayak cross event on the final day of competition at La Seu d'Urgell, which hosted racing for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Noemi, the reigning Olympic champion from Paris last year, was eliminated in the first round after an error negotiating the fourth gate. Jessica made it through to the semi-finals but placed third, just missing qualification for the four-paddler final, which was won by France's Olympic silver medallist Angele Hug. Looking to build toward a title at the world championships on her home course in Penrith in September, Jessica won gold in the C1 after turning in a shocker in the K1. In the kayak, she was docked a massive 54 seconds in penalties to finish third last in the 51-strong field. But the 30-year-old showed her composure to regroup for the canoe event and despite qualifying for the final in ninth spot she blitzed the field in the medal race. Fox finished 4.10 seconds clear to claim her 34th World Cup gold medal in the event ahead of Czech Mren Lazkano despite being penalised two seconds for nudging a gate. Noemie placed 20th after finishing an admirable ninth in the K1. "I'm super happy with that final. It was great to get out there and put out a fast run so it's a great way to start the season," said Jessica, who admitted her preparation had been affected by other commitments since winning both the C1 and K1 gold medals in Paris. "It's a new format, with one heat and then straight into the final and it didn't go so well in the kayak and I was quite disappointed so I wanted to come back and put down some good paddling. "To win on the first World Cup is a great start but still four more races to go for the World Cup series and then the world championships is the main goal of the year." In the men's K1 event Australia's Lucien Delfour had one of his best World Cup performances to win bronze. Delfour had the fastest time of the day but was relegated to third behind Frenchmen Titouan Castryck and Anatole Delassus due to a gate penalty.

Evonne Sie denies Yang Mi of being a negligent mother
5 Jun - While netizens have been introduced to the idea that Yang Mi was an absent mother for many years now, good friend Evonne Sie has recently dismissed the notion in an interview. The Taiwanese actress recently shared about her friendship with the Chinese star during an appearance on a variety show, saying that Yang Mi would often share photos of her only daughter Noemie with her in private. Evonne stated that she never understood the act of showing off one's baby to others, though she truly adored Noemie's cuteness. But it was only after she became a mother herself that she gradually turned into a "baby-showing maniac". She also stated that the two of them, who became friends after working together on "Tiny Times" in 2013, had a lot of discussions about parenting whenever they meet and that Yang Mi would often visit Noemie in Hong Kong discreetly so not to attract attention. It is noted that the idea of Yang Mi ignoring her daughter was due to the fact that she rarely posted photos of her child. Many also speculated that she was too busy with work to spend time with her daughter, who lives with her ex-husband Hawick Lau in Hong Kong. This was further fuelled by her former father-in-law Lau Dan, who declined to comment on anything related to the actress' visit. Yang Mi once said in an interview that she would visit her daughter whenever she was free, but she did not want to disclose the time, nor did she want to expose any of her daughter's private life. This is so that Noemie can have an ordinary life. (Photo Source: Yang Mi Weibo, SOHU)
