In a recent interview on YouTube's Kam Shing Mode, she discussed the benefits of stepping away from acting and how it has reduced her stress levels. Yoyo, who was previously with TVB until 2013, revealed that she no longer feels the need to force herself to work hard, living a simple and frugal life, occasionally purchasing only T-shirts and sportswear.\n\nThe actress, married to singer-actor Ekin Cheng since 2013, admitted that they have had occasional disagreements. However, Ekin makes her feel at ease, and their 20-year relationship has been generally smooth.
