“It’s pretty clear in the source article:
‘Her father decided to have her born by way of an anonymous egg donor and a surrogate mother. It was probably much more convenient than getting married again (he has an ex-wife). Alysa Liu has four more sisters, born in the same way. ‘
And then it goes on to indicate that the ex-wife did help to care for Alysa despite no biological relationship.”
That does make sense.
I guess the real question is
How long did she play mom
and for which of the girls,
before the divorce?
I guess it’s none of my business. Lol
I hadn’t watched any of the Olympics this year, but this girl intrigued me so I went back and saw her performances, as well as an interview she did last month.
She is not only technically outstanding, but very uniquely artistic. And she seems to be very self-possessed and intelligent, not only mentally but emotionally. She seems to have been brought up well.
(In the 60 minutes interview, it’s also disclosed that her father was one of the people organizing protests around the time of Tiananmen Square massacre, and had to flee China.)
