YouTube channel Musang King Channel is always known for their creative content. This time, content creators Jym Chong (庄靖毅, Zhuang Jing Yi) and Bernard Hiu (邱文博) decided to exchange moms. The group paid a visit to Jym’s hometown during winter solstice to see his mother, and Bernard became her ‘son’ for the day.
Along with some heart-warming events, Bernard took the opportunity to learn more about his friend and co-creator. Jym’s mom shyly spilled the tea about Jym. She shared her thoughts on Jym’s past marriage and his relationship with his current girlfriend Catherine Kai Xin (凱心).
Bernard was helping Jym’s mother decorate the kindergarten she works at for Chinese New Year. As they worked, Bernard asked her a few questions about Jym. One of them was, “When was the last time you (Jym’s mom) scolded Jym?” She was initially reluctant to talk about it, but finally shared a bit after some prompting. Jym’s mom did not mention the specific incident, but both Bernard and Jym who was listening in knew what it was about. “The most heart-breaking incident (my mom) told (Bernard) about was my past marriage,” Jym clarified.
Jym’s mother shared that watching her son’s marriage fall apart had been very painful for her. “I almost had (depression),” she said. “Every time I talk about it, I (would) be very sad.” However, she overcame it with the help of a fellow parent. The parent continued to encourage her and asked her to let the issue go. As Bernard pointed out, she didn’t have a lot of options at the time. Either she continued to be disappointed in her son, or help by encouraging him.
She also stressed that it was important to not take sides in such an incident. “We understood that it was not a one-sided thing,” she stated. However, both her and Bernard agreed that it had helped Jym better himself. In fact, she was pleased to see his relationship with Catherine going well.

Jym’s mother added that they had already met Catherine’s parents, surprising Bernard. This prompted him to ask Jym’s mom if she thought Jym was happy now. “I can see that he’s very happy,” she shared. “I realise that he’s very compatible with Catherine and they are on good terms.”
Jym himself had been upset to learn about his mother’s feeling on his previous marriage. “Because (it’s like), wow, it’s (really) my fault which made her sad. It’s (like) a stain to her,” he said. But he could tell that his mother was really happy for him and his future with Catherine. “When you receive the blessing from your parent for your relationship, it’s something that I really appreciate,” he told Bernard later.
Bernard urged Jym to “take action” and Jym smiled, promising he would. It seems we may be hearing from Jym and Catherine soon then! For now, we hope the couple will continue to nurture their relationship.
