At 46, Lin is stopping at two - Straits Times June 12, 2001

TWO is enough for retired movie queen and proud new mum Lin Ching-hsia.  The 46-year-old Lin, who delivered her second daughter on Saturday, said she would not try for a son or another child, reported Oriental Daily News yesterday.  Lin and her baby were visited by her showbusiness friends such as singer-actor Leslie Cheung, who proclaimed quickly that the newborn was beautiful and bore an even greater resemblance to the former actress than her first-born.  Her husband, Michael Ying, head of Esprit Asia, said they had yet to name their new bundle of joy and denied that the child will be named Ai-ching or "Loving Ching" as reported earlier.  Lin's elder daughter, who is five, is named Ai-lin, which literally means "Loving Lin".  Ying has a teenage daughter from a previous marriage.
