Taiwanese Hokkien Pop Singer Chan Yawen Hits Back At Accusations That She Is Faking Parkinson's Disease
Do netizens really think anyone would lie about something so serious?
In March, Taiwanese Hokkien pop singer Chan Yawen, 54, revealed that she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and that there's atrophy on the left side of her brain.
Over the years, Yawen also suffered from a series of health issues including hypothyroidism, asthma, heart inflammation and also had a tumour in her salivary glands and throat.
She revealed that she was shocked when she was told that she has Parkinson’s, and at one point, believed that heaven was playing a joke on her.
Yet somehow, there are people who are not convinced that Yawen is ill and have accused her of “pretending to be sick” to gain sympathy and attention.
Seriously?
