Yung Mei Ling's Childhood Life

My original name is Yung Mei Ling and my maiden name was Nui Nui.

My stepfather, Uncle Tong, my mother and my uncle, Chan King, all called me by this name.

As you know, I came back to Hong Kong from the UK in mid-1982 to compete in the Miss Hong Kong pageant (I was number 6 at the time) before breaking into the television industry.

I was born on 7 May 1959, which means I spent all my childhood and teenage years in Hong Kong.

I left Hong Kong in 1974 after studying at Rosemary Secondary School.

I was so beloved by my uncle that I was worried he would be taken away from me.

I pretended to be a doctor and gave injections and medication to the doll.

I always cried every time I had my hair cut.

I loved music, dancing and painting since I was a child.

l nearly lost my life playing on the beach in the sea.

As the only child in my family, I have been loved by both parents since I was a child, but unfortunately my biological father died when I was seven years old and I had to live with my mother.  My mother's brother, Chen Jing, love me very much. When my mother and my stepfather, Uncle Tong, emigrated to England in 1972, my uncle stayed with me in Hong Kong and he became my only relative.

I remember when I was a child, I used to pamper my uncle and ask him to feed me before he could eat. So I pampered him in front of his girlfriends, much to his embarrassment, and as a result, his girlfriends treated me in different ways, either with great affection or hatred.

When my uncle got married with Sheila, I flew to England to be a bridesmaid! And they soon had a new baby, and they are a happy family.

Later, her uncle studied art and drew sketches and portraits for me every day.

When my uncle started to have girlfriends, I used to make trouble with him because I didn't want his girlfriends to steal him away.

My mother bought me a lot of dolls to play with so that I wouldn't become a "tomboy", and I didn't let her down.I spent all day with those cute dolls. But maybe I have a big imagination. I imagined myself as a doctor from time to time, and the dolls were my patients as a matter of course. So, I undressed all the dolls and gave them a consultation and an injection. Not only that, but I also stuffed the mothers' bought beads into their mouths or their bottoms as medicine for the patients!

There is another incident that I always remember. That time I was with the children next door. I learnt how to catch a dragonfly. I was so excited to go to the beach not far from home to practice. I managed to catch nearly 40 of them and put them all in a box. However, I was worried that the dragonflies would die because of lack of air. So I put a window in the box. The next day, I woke up to find dragonflies all over the house, causing my parents and uncle to go out to catch them.

I have been a good-looking girl since I was a child, especially with my big eyes and false whistle teeth, which won me the praise of my relatives and friends.

I had to cut my hair every once in a while and I had to cry every time!

翁美玲的童年生活

我的原名就是翁美玲,乳名則叫囡囡,我的繼父棠叔、母親、舅父陳景,都是叫我這個名字的。大家都知道我在1982年中,由英國返來香港參加香港小姐競選(當時我的編號是6號),才闖進電視圈的。但1974年在玫崗中學讀完F4離開香港,而我是在1959年5月7日出生的,即是說,我由童年到少年的日子,都是在港渡過的。
◎得到舅父寵愛,擔心他被搶走
◎扮醫生替公仔診症打針餵藥
◎每次剪長髮總要大哭一場
自小便愛音樂,舞蹈和繪畫
◎海灘嬉水差點丟掉小命
◎第一批追求者統統吃貓麵

 

我是家中的獨女,自小便得到雙親的寵愛,可惜的是到了七歲的時候,我的親生父親便去世了,我祇好與母親相依為命。更難得的是,母親的誼弟陳景,也十分疼惜我。當母親於1972年和繼父棠叔先行移民到英國時,舅父和我一起留在香港,他更成為我唯一的至親了。

記得小時的我,經常向舅父撒嬌,竟然要他餵才吃飯,而看到舅父結識女朋友,我心中便很不高興,大概是擔心舅父被人搶走吧!於是我在他的女友面前向他撒嬌,令他大感尷尬,因此他的女友對我的態度各走極端,或是很疼惜我、或是很憎我。

舅父與舅母《SHELA》他倆結婚之時,我還特地飛到英國去擔任伴娘呢!而他倆很快添了個BABY,一家三口,樂也融融。

阿翁爆自己的內幕:原來大眼妹自小就對舅父十分依戀,要舅父餵才肯吃飯,後來舅父學美術,每天為她畫速寫畫像之類,很快她對美術也發生了濃厚興趣,未回港之前,她在英國學的就是美術,其中包括時裝設計,如果不當藝員,阿翁隨時可以在大規模的製衣廠任設計師。
「到我舅舅開始交女朋友時,我還常常跟他搗蛋,
 因為我不想他的女朋友把他搶走。」
 說得高興,她索性連自己兒時的祕密也說出來。

 

其實,我也有女孩子性格的一面的。

媽媽為免我變「男仔頭」,便買了不少公仔(洋娃娃)給我玩,我沒有讓她失望,整天都和那些可愛的洋娃娃在一起。祇不過,可能我的想像力豐富吧。我不時幻想自己是個醫生,而公仔便理所當然的做了我的病人。

於是,我把公仔的衣服全部脫光,給她們診症打針。不單如此,我還把那些媽媽買來的珠仔,塞進她們的嘴裏,或由屁股塞入肚內,當做給病人食藥呢!

還有一件闖禍的往事,令我常記心頭的。那一次,我剛跟鄰居的小朋友。學懂了捉蜻蜒的方法。於是,我興緻勃勃地走到離家不遠的沙灘實習。結果,我成功地捉到接近四十隻,將他們全部放在盒子中。但,我又坦心蜻蜒因沒有空氣而死掉。於是在盒子上開了個窗子。不料,第二天醒來,發覺全屋都是蜻蜒,害得父母、舅父要齊齊出動去捕捉。

 

我自小樣子長得不錯,尤其是一對大眼睛,以及一副假哨牙,更贏得親戚朋友的讚美,紛紛說我是個「小美人」,而我也很「貪靚」,由小學開始,便蓄了一把長頭髮。

家人也很贊成我這樣做。可惜,學校不准我留得太長,於是,隔一段時間便要剪髮一次,而我每次都要大哭一傷呢!
