The selection of Miss Hong Kong this year came to an end. Champion Xie Jiayi, runner-up Chen Zhenyi, and second runner-up Guo Baiyan.

After reading the photos, people miss the golden age of Miss Hong Kong. Maggie Cheung, Chung Chuhong, Qiu Shuzhen, Anita Yuen, Li Jiaxin… If the names of those Hong Kong sisters were taken off, the starry sky of Hong Kong film industry would be much dim.

At that time, there was a saying that said: “The best representative of Hong Kong is not the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui, the old pavilion of Victoria Peak, the Ocean Park, or the rich and powerful nightclub, but Miss Hong Kong.”

Now, such a grand occasion is no longer.

But from another perspective, the history of the decline of Hong Kong sister selection is also the history of the awakening of female consciousness.

40’s ~ 70’s: a record of low-level women turning around

In the mid-1940s, Hong Kong women had low social status and few job opportunities. Most of them hoped to marry a good family to change their destiny. At the end of World War II, people who survived the artillery hope to see fresh entertainment activities. The big environment gave birth to the Miss Hong Kong competition. Although the scale of the game was small at the beginning, it was the hope of lower-level women to change their destiny.

In 1946, the first Miss Hong Kong was jointly organized by the Retiro Air Force Club and the Xiangzhong Swimming Group. The main person behind it was the nightclub owner Li Jianfa, known as “Hong Kong Du Yuesheng”.

There were 117 people who signed up for the election, but only 11 people actually showed up. One of them was Li Lan. She put on a swimsuit and white shoes, walked back and forth on the springboard 3 times, then appeared on the diving platform and easily won the first place.

Li Lan was born in a poor family and was originally a hotel waitress. The title of Miss Hong Kong champion changed her destiny and gave her the opportunity to enter the show business circle. She starred in Hong Kong’s first film “The Flame of Love” after the War of Resistance in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong’s first Huang Feihong film “Wong Feihong Whip the Wind and Extinguish the Candle”.

Shortly after, she married an amusement park manager, led a stable and stable life, and ended her short career as an actress.

In 2004, the Mainland and Hong Kong signed the “Closer Trade Relationship Arrangement.” In order to obtain new opportunities, Hong Kong artists have chosen to go north, including the former Hong Kong sister Chen Farong. She successively starred in martial arts dramas “Water Moon Cave Sky”, “Spirit Mirror Legend”, and “The First Under Heaven”, winning a group of mainland audiences.

I only saw the old people go, but no new people come. In order to attract the audience, Miss Hong Kong took a path of judging ugliness. In 2007, the champion Zhang Jiaer was complained about as “pork chop Hong Kong sister”. In 2008, the champion Zhang Shuya was selected for shady. In 2009, the third runner-up Xiong Yingshi was named “Hu Zha Shuqi”.

Hong Kong director Yihua Lam said: “Now that Miss Hong Kong is on the cover of the weekly magazine with a gossip scandal, the public’s enthusiasm for this event is probably not much better than that of a Hong Kong-produced film. I mean the director is not known. Cast is also a very general low-cost work.”

In the old days, Hong Kong sister was synonymous with nobleness, but now Hong Kong sister is criticized. Everyone is asking, why is there no good-looking Hong Kong sister?

Perhaps it is not that good-looking Hong Kong sisters cannot be elected, but good-looking women are unwilling to run for Hong Kong sisters. Relevant statistics show that in 2017, the female labor force participation rate in Hong Kong was 50.8%, 1.6 percentage points higher than that of men. It seems that “women carry half the sky.”

At this time, the education level of Hong Kong women is the highest in Asia, and the social status is also the highest in Asia. They do not need to show themselves on the stage of Miss Hong Kong in order to obtain rising resources, they can directly enter the original male main> , Author: less fork
