Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung’s mother, Davies Shally has been spotted working as a cashier at a cake shop.
Cecilia has been single-handedly raising her two sons, Lucas, 9, and Quintus, 6, after her high-profile divorce from Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse in 2011.
According to reports, the actress has put her career on the back burner to focus on raising her children.
The family of three even moved to Singapore for a short period of time to allow her sons to grow up in a more conducive environment, before moving back to Hong Kong last year.
As a result, Cecilia’s earnings have significantly reduced and she is reportedly unable to financially support her mother and family.
Thus, Cecilia’s mother took on a job as a cashier in an attempt to relieve her daughter’s financial burden.
The job, which requires Cecilia’s mother to work from 11 in the morning to 8 at night, does not pay much, but is enough for her to get by.
Previously, Cecilia had also invested in a couple of businesses that her mother and younger brother ran, which ranged from a wine shop to a restaurant, although the businesses eventually closed down.
