The new American Born Chinese television series on Disney+ Hotstar may be set in the United States, but Malaysians will be thrilled to know that not one, but two of our own are actually in it.

While it is already well known that newly minted Best Actress Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh is playing the role of Guan Yin, the Goddess Of Mercy, another of our award-winning actresses, Yeo Yann Yann, also stars in the show as Christine, the mother of lead character Jin Wang (played by American actor Ben Wang).
