Lan Hsin-Mei Reveals She’s Not Her Mum’s Biological Child

The Taiwanese host opens up about being taken in as a teen in a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute.

Taiwanese host Pauline Lan Hsin-Mei has opened up about a deeply personal chapter of her life, revealing that she is not her mother’s biological child.

In a video shared on the Facebook page of Lady First ahead of Mother’s Day, the 60-year-old star paid tribute to Mama Lan and recounted how her mum took her in when she was just 13 or 14, a time she described as the most rebellious period of her life.

Despite being only 18 years older than her, her mum stepped in with both strict discipline and immense patience, raising her as her own.

Hsin-Mei credited her mum for shaping who she is today, from her quick thinking and sharp mind to her strong physical health, adding that her mum’s loving home-cooked meals played a big part in her upbringing.

Though her mum is now getting older and has difficulty walking, Hsin-Mei shared that she hopes to continue travelling the world with her.

She ended the video with an emotional message: “Even if we’ve seen the whole world, mum, you should know — my world is only you. Love you.”

Her mum was just in her early 30s when she took Hsin-Mei in.

Hsin-Mei hopes to continue travelling the world with her mum.

Is Bugis Street now really a ghost town? News reports state that around 80% of shops on Bugis Street’s Level 2 have closed following lease expiries, with plans for a new youth-focused retail concept in the works. However, a visit to the area shows a more nuanced picture — while many units at the back remain shuttered, the front section still sees decent footfall and operating stores, with some offering clearance sales. Shop owners have expressed concerns over recent reports, which may have impacted business, as they continue adapting to rising rents and changing retail conditions. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #sgtiktok #bugisstreet #singapore

Shrinkflation is affecting everyday items in Singapore, with products like coffee, shampoo and snacks seeing reduced sizes while prices remain unchanged. According to the Singapore Department of Statistics, rising costs such as raw materials, energy and transport are pushing companies to adjust product sizes instead of increasing prices directly. The trend means consumers may be paying the same for less, making it important to check product weight and volume when shopping. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #shrinkflation #sgtiktok #singapore
