Introduction

Last month, former TVB actress Nancy Wu, 43, made headlines as she officially announced her relationship with her doctor boyfriend on Instagram. Although Wu has kept the details of her beau under wraps, Hong Kong media later confirmed his identity as Akin Chen, a man notably younger than her and hailing from a wealthy family.

Akin Chen's Background

Akin, a graduate of the prestigious Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the esteemed Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, has made a remarkable impact in the medical field since joining Doctors Without Borders in 2012. His commitment to humanitarian efforts has seen him perform life-saving surgeries in some of the world’s most troubled regions, including war-torn Sudan, Syria, and Haiti.

Online Criticism

However, the recent unveiling of their relationship took an unexpected turn when a netizen, claiming to be a junior of Akin's from CUHK Medical Centre, posted comments on Threads that would ignite a firestorm online. The individual praised Akin's dedication, describing him as extremely capable and selfless, but also included a biting critique of Nancy, stating, 'I don’t know how Nancy Wu has managed to hold on to this senior of mine.'

Public Response

This remark quickly drew ire from internet users, who rallied to defend Nancy, labeling the criticism as 'disrespectful' and 'unnecessary.' Responses flooded in, with many arguing that the online commenter should not have interjected their opinion about the couple’s relationship.

Support for Nancy Wu

Supporters of Nancy Wu also emphasized her own contributions to charity, highlighting her recent humanitarian visit to Ethiopia as a testament to her compassion and hard work. Further defending her character, a nurse who had worked alongside Akin praised him for his dedication and kindness in the medical field, calling him a 'rare gem' and congratulating Nancy for finding such an extraordinary partner.

Ongoing Discussions

As social media continues to buzz with mixed opinions, it remains clear that both Nancy and Akin's relationship is bound to attract attention—and scrutiny. Will this public dissection impact their love life, or will they keep thriving against the odds? Only time will tell!
