However, when Meimei got famous everything changed. She practicaly got whatever she wanted, the other brothers were burdened with her chores and her childhood was lost. The mom alos used her daughter for attention which was totally messed up. When the daughter finally admitted to the mothers obbsession with the mom flipped out and pretty much Shunned the daughter. This story shows what fame can do to families
