Jay Chou, the pop music superstar who is immensely popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, says forthrightly that the greatest pillar of support emboldening him to jump into show business was the strong emotional bond he has with his mother, Yeh Hui-mei. He even wrote a song, "Do What Mama Tells You," to express his gratitude to the mother who worked so hard to raise him single-handedly.
紅遍兩岸三地的亞洲流行音樂天王周杰倫亦直言不諱：母親葉惠美對子女的舐犢之情，是自己勇闖星海的最大支撐，他甚至還作出膾炙人口的「聽媽媽的話」一曲，表達對艱苦撫養他長大的單親媽媽的孺慕之情。
