Song Yeng (father)

We know many celebrities, whose fathers were not so involved in their lives. But Brenda is not one of them. On the contrary, she was brought up by two loving doting parents, who did everything to foster her skills and talents. Till now she is so close to her dad.
Mr. Song Yeng is the name of Brenda’s father. He was born in Asia, and he comes from a respectable clan Xiong. He belongs to Hmong ethnic group and he was a part of a tribe, which resided in the Thailand and Laos mountains. He changed the surname for “Song” after his moving to the USA. In the USA he met the beautiful Asian girl Mia and married her. They parented three kids – Brenda and her two brothers.
Song Yeng lives with his family in Valencia, CA. He is Buddhist. Mr. Song taught his daughter to understand and to love her heritage. That’s why the actress knows a lot about the customs of nomadic Hmong people. Being a big fan of kung fu, he taught little Brenda the secrets of classic kung fu. He showed her the films about kung fu fighters, like “Five Deadly Venoms” and others. That helped her to create a strong female character of Asian origin in the television film “Wendy Wu”.

Mai Lee Song is Brenda’s mother. She is a Thai girl, whose parents took her to the USA when she was in kindergarten age. She resided in Sacramento, CA, when she met a Hmong guy Song Yeng. She fell in love with him, and he introduced the beautiful girl to his family. They accepted Mai as a daughter.
Now Mai is a homemaker. She brought up 3 children with her husband. Mrs. Song played an important role in Brenda’s career. She moved with the girl to Los Angeles to help her become a professional actress. During 2 years she lived with Brenda in LA, when the girl was acting in commercials. Later her husband and son joined them. Thus, the family reunited.
Mrs. Song is a breast cancer survivor. Despite such a serious health disorder, which she had to deal with, Mia looks perfect and much younger of her age and resembles Brenda’s older sister.
