The 2020 Miss Hong Kong Draft ended silently, and I didn’t even have a decent hot search.
It is an accepted fact that “Sister Hong” is worse than one year. A few months ago, Hong Kong TVB (TVB) had announced that Hong Kong sisters would be shut down for one year due to the epidemic. As a result, I didn’t expect that as a benchmark beauty pageant with a history of 74 years, even the news of the suspension was completely ignored. Hong Kong media also expressed emotion that “the Hong Kong sister is dead.”
As a result, TVB bit the bullet and held the game. Just last Sunday (August 30) held the finals. The champion selected was Xie Jiayi, known as “Little Li Jiaxin”—— The audience sighed with emotion that Sister Hong has finally returned to her former high level! Finally no longer choose “pork chop Hong Kong sister”!
This year’s Hong Kong sister beauty pageant is still worth talking about. Although the attention is not high, this competition is still a long-awaited “aesthetic rejuvenation”.
Sister Hong Kong is a product of the times, and Miss Hong Kong also reflects the times. Let’s take a look todayIn the 74-year history of Sister Gang, she is not only a vane of shaping women’s aesthetics, but also a history of the development of society’s aesthetics towards women.
Let’s take a look at the moss and biwa piles. Who has ever slept in romance and has watched the rise and fall of the seventy-four years.
1. Origin: Dressing up the Swimsuit Show of Taiping Dancing Girl
The first Hong Kong sister beauty pageant was not a positive activity. It can probably be understood as the level of the Urban Underground Song and Dance Show.
September 1945, when the Pacific War ended, Hong Kong was ruled by the military government after its reign. In May of the following year, Hong Kong Governor Yang Muqi and Cui Hu returned to revoke the military government and resume civil administration. In order to revive the hopes of the Hong Kong people, which had been suppressed for three years and eight months, the Governor felt that some activities should be carried out to whitewash the peace. Earning some ticket money can also be used to help refugees and disabled soldiers.
Then, I came up with an idea for Miss Hong Kong election. The newspaper at the time described the effect of the beauty pageant as follows: “With the coming of peace, people need to find some fun, relaxed, or romantic atmosphere to adjust the nerves that have been tense in the years of war.”< /strong>
In the era when girls felt vulgar when they showed their calves, it was a good thing to look at swimsuit women with integrity. As a result, the first Hong Kong sisters beauty pageant was an unprecedented grand occasion. The venue, which could only accommodate 1,700 spectators, ended up squeezing 2,000 more people.
More than 3,000 people have been exposed to the sun for 3 hours in order to see beautiful girls in swimsuits.
But the result may not be as fancy as everyone imagined. At that time, the rules of participation were very simple: between the ages of 16 and 60, you can find a swimsuit to wear. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to swim. After all, you just walked to the diving platform and took a look.
At the time, the society believed that wearing a swimsuit was a bad idea. Of the original 17 players who signed up, only 11 of them played in the end. Among the 11 players, there were many women in the dust. There are 20 judges, more than players.
The beauty contestant, Li Lan, the first Miss Hong Kong in history, was not beautiful enough. The Hong Kong reporter commented on her like this: “The Miss Hong Kong elected this time can only be said to be the Miss Hong Kong of the judges, not the Hong Kong Miss Hong Kong. If the elected Li Lan is invited to attend a beauty pageant in the world or anywhere. , The artists and photographers of the world will not return to Hong Kong in the future… The only candidates areThere are 11 people, there are no fish in the sea, and the young shrimp are big. “

The first Hong Kong sister chose a lonely one, and the same for the next two years, and the more and more it arouses dissatisfaction among women.
At the beginning of the third Hong Kong sister election, the “Business Daily” wrote in its July 1948 issue: “Because ordinary people hope that the election party will make some innovations, otherwise the famous ladies and ladies will not dare to participate. , So as to provide the victims of the innocent body for the victims of the (gimmick), and at the same time hope that the local women’s groups will come out and do justice Criticism, and people from all walks of life who do not deliberately play with women, are not allowed to participate in the’event’, so as to avoid boring tricks and support…”
Very straightforward: This is not something that a good boy should see. It’s offensive and disrespectful to women. Everyone must criticize it. So the election of Hong Kong sister stopped in 1948 for four years, until 1952, the first Miss Universe election contest made a comeback.
It can also be seen that Hong Kong at that time was already very concerned about the value of women’s identity.
Second, celebrities win the championship, breaking the prejudice of “Hong Kong sister non-good family”
Finally, the fourth Hong Kong sister beauty pageant is here, with the reformed competition system and the rectified jury.
The age limit for this competition is 18-28 years old, and “must have good moral character, beautiful body, and healthy physique”, but “it does not matter whether it is a professional woman or whether it is married or not.”
More severely, the five judges were all women: Mrs. Deputy Press, Mrs. Bouzan, Consul General of France in Hong Kong, Mrs. Ariel Marta, and Mrs. Du Shaohong, Mrs. Robertson, an American businessman in Hong Kong.
Women are judges, and you have the taste of Hong Kong sisters who brave the wind and waves.
Several ladies are really eye-catching, and one is selected, but Judy has become the originator of the popular high-end face more than sixty years later: Danfeng eyes, slightly wider eye distance, and angular facial lines, seem to be absent when taking pictures His smile, put it in the po now is #高個見世脸#.
Later, Judy represented Hong Kong in the election of “Miss Universe” in the world. He not only became the first Chinese to participate in “Miss Universe”, he also won the third place. It shows that the aesthetic is very international.

But the greater value of Judy’s champion lies in the innovation that shook the stigma of Hong Kong sister beauty pageant.
My father is a famous director, but Du Yu, and my mother is Yin Mingzhu, a movie star who is popular in Shanghai. As a result, this girl has to rely on her own efforts. In the age when the slogan of “female independence” had not yet been shouted, Judy proved by himself that women can open their careers without relying on others.
This kind of “star second generation” with identity and social status appeared in the Retiro nightclub and participated in the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant, which also firmly broke the dimension wall of “good girl” and “Hong Kong sister”. Since then, most of the contestants are “good family women” or even “big ladies”, and dancers have gradually faded out of the Hong Kong sister pageant stage.
Since then, “feminine charm” is no longer a shame for Hong Kong women. They face their beauty and are proud of it.
Three, “Muyi Tianxia”
Miss Hong Kong is over in the 27th year of her birthThe wandering career in Retiro nightclub was officially taken over by TVB——
Run Run Shaw knows very well that Hong Kong sisters pageant is the most convenient way to harvest female artists. Run Run Shaw spared no effort in touting Hong Kong sisters. Not only did he increase the rules of the competition: Hong Kong sisters can get a one-year TVB official actor contract; he also personally brought the freshly released Hong Kong sisters to attend and sit in major events such as TVB Taiwan celebrations. Close to his position.
After TVB took over, the Hong Kong sister also shouted the slogan of the most logical saying: Wisdom and beauty coexist.
TVB’s star-making era kicked off, and Hong Kong sister also celebrated the 20-year golden age. It was an era when Hong Kong was rejuvenated, and traditional culture and traditional aesthetics returned. The Hong Kong sisters pageant honestly reflects the dignified and generous traditional aesthetics. The selected Hong Kong sisters are the lord of the sixth house and the temperament of the world.
In the first Hong Kong live broadcast of the Hong Kong sisters election in 1973, Hong Kong sisters appeared two tied champions, namely Sun Yongen elected by TVB and Deborah elected by the “Hong Kong Oriental Pearl Pageant”.
After Deborah was crowned, she hosted movies, TV, and TVB on three occasions. In the fifth year of her debut, she was married when she was in full swing. The husband is Xie Xian, who is called the fourth brother in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and their son is Nicholas Tse.

Zhao Yazhi, who is known as the “beauty of the century”, and later became popular across the Taiwan Strait with “Chu Liuxiang”, “Shanghai Beach” and “The Legend of the New White Lady”, when she participated in the first Hong Kong sister election Is the favorite to win. After all, the beautiful face and the demeanor brought by the stewardess career, the 19-year-old Zhao Yazhi stood on the pageant track simply dazzling.
YesUnfortunately, the question-and-answer session was quite intense, and the stumbling words did not convey the meaning, and finally ranked fourth.

Similarly, Zhong Chuhong, in the 1979 beauty pageant, because he couldn’t wear high heels, he took the wrong steps, and he fell out of the championship favorite and was fourth.

But I have to say that the 1970s was an important period for the rise of Hong Kong sisters and the peak period of male gaze.
There was such a saying at the time:
“The champion of the Hong Kong sister is to choose a wife, so she must be virtuous and generous; the second runner-up is to choose a girlfriend, so she might as well have a variety of styles; the third runner is to choose a little sister, who is innocent and cute.”
Hong Kong women are still under the four-character mountain of “good virtuous and virtuous” that has been carried for thousands of years. Hong Kong sister has also become a kind of “concubine selection beauty pageant”, shouldering various fantasies of men——
There is a traditional aesthetic support, and there is a gathering of people’s lust: not only to look at the beautiful women in swimsuits, but also to look at the beautiful and innocent. Look at her crazy, see her funny and dignified.
In the 1980s, gods were fighting
This is the most glorious era of Hong Kong sister.
For the contestant, Miss Hong Kong became the most talkative person in the restaurant. Most of the Hong Kong sisters in this period were elected in the entertainment industry with shining stars. Their names are in the history of shadows, and the classic gifs they contributed together are a compulsory version of a Hong Kong style textbook.
The 19-year-old Maggie Cheung who won the runner-up of Hong Kong Sister and the “Best Photogenic Award” in 1983.
Maggie Cheung later recalled: “Participating in the Miss Hong Kong campaign was the most courageous decision in my life. I was most afraid of competing and comparing with others, because I was afraid of losing! This time I made up my mind because Participating in the Hong Kong beauty pageant is an important opportunity for me to enter the entertainment industry. Even if I lose the election, I will still haveThe opportunity to be an entertainer, because acting is so attractive to me. “
The girlhood of Maggie Cheung’s hair like clouds, her eyes flowed, and her star was shining as soon as she debuted in the image of a girl. In 1988, she made 12 films in one year and was dubbed “Zhang Yi Da”. Later, he won the Hong Kong Film Awards five times and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards four times. As the record holder of these two awards, he became a legend of Chinese film.

In 1987, she created many “firsts” in the history of Hong Kong sisters. From this year on, the beauty pageant used a new theme song; it was also this year that all beautiful girls wore three-point swimsuits on stage for the first time.
There was also a girl named Qiu Shuzhen that year, who became the favorite to win the title as “the sexiest Hong Kong sister”. He was only slapped by his old classmate Huang Ying for a “chin plastic surgery”, arguing for a while, and angrily retired.
But Qiu Shuzhen was still red and purple in the end, and also contributed to “Zhu Yin Blink”, “Qingxia Drinking”, “Zhang Min Turning Back”, “Zu Xian Dressing” and called “the god-level operation that cannot be copied” -“Shuzhen Diaopai”.
