Aaron Kwok’s Wife Moka Fang Praised For Flying Economy Class On Daughters’ First Plane Ride

Chinese model Moka Fang — aka Mrs Aaron Kwok — has been the target of various reports in the past that don’t exactly paint her as a very thrifty person.

In addition to those epic rumours about the 34-year-old meeting her husband through a ‘pickup artist training camp’ for women who want to snag themselves a celeb, Moka’s high SES posts featuring branded goods and tai tai hangouts have earned her a reputation as somewhat of a gold digger.

However, it appears that the tables have turned in recent months, with Moka garnering praise for being “down-to-earth” instead as expensive #OOTDs made way for pics of wet market trips and simple outings with her daughters, three-year-old Chantelle and two-year-old Charlotte.

On Sunday (Jul 11), Moka posted a short vlog of herself travelling from Hongkong to Shanghai with Chantalle and Charlotte. It’s believed that they were on their way to visit Aaron, who is currently filming The White Storm 3 with Louis Koo and Sean Lau in China’s Yunnan province.

According to Moka’s caption, this was the first time the two little girls got to sit on a plane, which explains why they were excitedly singing ‘Row Row Row Your Boat’ (um, wrong vehicle, but still super cute) in the car and watching everything that was happening outside the airport windows in fascination.

Fans will have more adorable updates like this to look forward to as Moka shared that she will be documenting the trio’s “noisy, difficult, and happy” days in quarantine.

As the direct family of one of Asia’s biggest stars (who makes enough money to drop “a seven-figure sum” on paintings and supposedly buy a luxury mansion as a gift), most folks would probably have expected Moka, Chantelle, and Charlotte to be flying in first class, but that was not the case.

At the end of the clip, Moka showed herself and her daughters in what is clearly the economy class section, judging from the size and arrangement of their seats.

Netizens were pleasantly surprised at Moka’s choice of travel method and left comments applauding her for knowing how to be frugal.

“You’re actually flying economy. You’re really such a low-key and nice Heavenly King’s wife,” one netizen remarked in amazement, while another wrote, “Flying economy makes someone seem a lot more down-to-earth and approachable, I like this humble side of you!”
