Art imitates life, which actress Dawn Yeoh can attest to.

In the beginning scene of her new film King of Hawkers, her character Zhang Nala gets into a quarrel with her mother Law Yoke Ping (Liu Lingling) after announcing that she wants to marry rich playboy Lee Guozhong (Collin Chee), whom she had a child out of wedlock.

Angered by her daughter's naive decision, Law forces Nala out of their flat, throwing her suitcase out with her.
