My Sister of Eternal Flower (Traditional Chinese: ), is the title of an Hong Kong television drama starring Charmaine Sheh, Raymond Lam, Ngo Ka-nin, and Toby Leung. Produced by Kwan Wing Chung My Sister of Eternal Flower is a TVB production. It premiered on 16 May 2011.
The company XENUS was successfully run by Zhang Sum (Bowie Wu). One day Zhang Sum ended up in the hospital, and his spoiled grandson Hugo (Raymond Lam) took over the company. However Hugo was incapable and loses control of the company to Mike (Ngo Ka-nin), a genuinely skilled manager.
Mike manipulated the company and moved all the clients to his own company. XENUS was near collapse, while Hugo loses everything and become the joke of society. At the low point of his life, the only one that backed him up was a mentally low-IQ girl Fa Lai-chu (Charmaine Sheh). Hugo would bounce back and have to decide between the intellectually disabled girl Fa and Agnes (Yoyo Chen), the beautiful perfect model who didn't stand by him enough.
The show did generate a lot of online comments. Some people felt that a screenplay having a mentally ill character was a disrespect to the mentally disabled community. Others felt that the role played by Charmaine Sheh is largely a copy of Roger Kwok's role of a mentally disabled person (previously in Square Pegs).
