Miss Hong Kong is a large-scale beauty pageant in Hong Kong, and 1946 began to appear. At first, the Ritz-Chi nightclub in North Point, Hong Kong was held by a private organization. It was not until 1973 that Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Company Limited began to hold the annual Miss Hong Kong election, and then it was uniformly held by TVB. 1973 when wireless first took over, the ratings kept climbing, reaching 40% at the peak.
The first meeting after the takeover was unusual. Xie Xian's first wife, Di Bola, won the championship, and Angie Chiu, who has been praised as "the first beauty of Chinese" and "the coordinate of an era" since then, is one of the most famous Hong Kong sisters.
This period is also the golden age of Hong Kong Sister's beauty pageant, and many deified goddesses come from this period.
Maggie Cheung, the runner-up of 1983, created countless classics such as Sweet Honey and In the Mood for Love. In 2004, she became the first Cannes film winner in Asia with Clean.
Sexy and beautiful Chingmy Yau, in "God of Gambling 2", she is dressed in red and holding a card, which can hardly be called a classic.
However, today, the ratings of Miss Hong Kong have plummeted. Writer Han Songluo said: "The golden age of Hong Kong Sister was in the late 1970s and the whole1980s. Zhu Lingling, Cora Miao, Cherie Chung, Kuang Meiyun, Maggie Cheung, Michelle monique Rice, Barbara Yung, Yang Baoling, Li Meifeng, Chen Farong and Qiu Shuzhen were all distributed in this period. Anita Yuen, Guo Aiming and Ada Choi at the beginning of 1990 can be regarded as the aftertaste of this era, which can still explain the aesthetics of "Hong Kong Sister" instead of the aesthetics of "Luo Cha Haicheng" in Liaozhai. But then the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant went on the road of no return. "
When people call Hong Kong Sister Guanghua no longer, it is not that Hong Kong Sister has no beauty these years, but we dare not choose beauty.
In 20 14, Mrs. Molly, the executive chairman of one of the four Miss World beauty contests, announced the cancellation of the 63-year swimsuit session, hoping that the audience would pay attention to the cultural connotation of women, pursue "purposeful beauty" instead of physical appearance, and reposition the aesthetic angle of women.
20 15 hong kong sister champion mai Mingshi, with a peach face and a sweet smile, graduated from the law department of Cambridge university. She was originally a well-deserved incarnation of Hong Kong elder sister's slogan of "wisdom and beauty coexist", but she was criticized as a model of Hong Kong women, anti-feminist and paternalistic because she wrote a column on life ideals.
This year's Hong Kong sisters are beautiful under both popular aesthetics and traditional aesthetics-this may seem politically incorrect, but it is not wrong.
In the decades of social development, "beauty" is no longer an aesthetic meaning, but more submerged by social symbols-"beauty" has been painted with so many layers of whitewash that it can't see its true colors.
Is the revival of Hong Kong sister's word-of-mouth in 2020 an aesthetic revival? We don't know anyone.
But I believe that on the one hand, beauty pageant should not be a beauty pageant from a gender perspective or male gaze, on the other hand, it should not be a beauty pageant for women from one extreme to the other. Beauty pageant should be a beauty pageant, regardless of gender and political correctness. Choose a beautiful woman that both men and women will appreciate.
