“What that means to me is that all the Asians out there are saying, ‘See, it’s possible. If she can do it, then so can I.” That’s the most important thing,” the actress said.
The film chronicles the adventure of a Chinese-American laundromat owner, Evelyn Wang, who not only struggles to get along with those close to her, but also to pay her taxes.

“I’m a very normal person. I just work really hard. There are so many brilliant actors out there… All they have to do is find an opportunity and get there,” said Yo.
I remember watching Michelle Yeoh for the first time in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005). Now that I often rewatch that on purpose, gosh– this movie is stunning. The cinematography, storyline, scripts, and of course, the actors are top notch. Michelle Yeoh is indeed, a goddess. pic.twitter.com/YA0SvGQttV
