After Zheng Xiuwen, there is Yang Qianwei, and after Yang Qianwei, is there a Hong Kong woman with unique style? / Movie "Chun Jiao and Zhi Ming"
In Hong Kong, the tone of the "Hong Kong women" in the newspaper era is neutral, and when it comes to representative figures such as Mui Yanfang, Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, Lai Kin Wai, Zheng Xiuwen, And Miriam Yeung, there is even a slight look of pride -
That was a generation of Hong Kong women who taught us how to survive.
Later, "Hong Kong girl" gradually became a "derogatory name", if someone uses "Hong Kong girl" to describe you, don't be complacent, it may be a secret bar that you worship gold, flattery, and princess disease, and definitely not praise you as a strong and independent "Miss Dude".
The recent derailment storm has brought the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which has not been seen for a long time, back to the front. "The last Hong Kong fairy tale" is shattered with some of the taste of dust and fly ash, no wonder the post-00s do not know Xu Zhi'an, and even the post-80s have a sense of estrangement.
Everyone cherishes this last Queen of Hong Kong.
More than 20 years ago, the "drinking song" she contributed is still very enduring; more than 20 years after a solid position, she still has the heart to open 13 consecutive songs in the Red Pavilion, and the concert tickets in July this year are all sold out within one hour.
Zheng Xiuwen is worthy of love.
Her image on the stage, screen and life is the "Hong Kong girl" in our minds, independent, self-reliant, hardworking, capable and hard-working. Therefore, when Zheng Xiuwen chose to forgive, the controversy immediately appeared. Some people are disappointed that she is too humble in love and has lost the style of "Hong Kong woman". Some people support her, the ability and courage to forgive, but not everyone has, admire the tenacity and tenacity of "Hong Kong women".
Zheng Xiuwen's early posters are pure and unrecognizable today.
Mainland self-media have once again set off a big discussion on the topic of "Hong Kong women". This generation of Hong Kong women are hardliners in their bones. Times are too fast, life is uncertain, and they work hard to establish a sense of stability in their hearts on their own. However, people's praise for the female representatives of Hong Kong's golden age is somewhat nostalgic,
After all, today's "Hong Kong women" are fundamentally a completely different concept. If you don't believe you ask the people of Hong Kong, 99% of them think that Huang Xinying is a "Hong Kong girl" - a riot, riding a bull to find a horse, a material girl.
It's very subtle, everyone talks about the same word, and it's not the same thing at all.

A generation of "Hong Kong women" that Hong Kong people are proud of:
Motivated women have the ability to change their lives
You may not believe that half a century ago, the city of Hong Kong was ashamed of its wife going out to work as a man, and women had no status to speak of. Until the rapid development of the local garment industry in the 1960s and 1970s, a group full of collective memories was derived - factory sisters.
The emergence of factory sisters not only contributed significantly to Hong Kong's economic take-off, but also put Hong Kong women on the social ladder, proving that women are no longer just fertility machines and family nannies.
Hong Kong in the 1980s.
In the era of factories, almost every household in Hong Kong had a factory sister. At that time, women did not read much, some girls started work during the day, read night school at night, hoping to graduate and have the opportunity to go to the office building to do clerical work; some did not have the opportunity to study, but also hoped to work hard for their children and younger siblings to study.
Working a few casual jobs and nailing beads at home in the middle of the night – this is one of the faces of the Lion Rock spirit.
Since then, in addition to getting married and having children, women have another way to go.
Another way, how high can it go?
Mui Yanfang is known as the daughter of Hong Kong.
From the bottom to the peak, Mui Yanfang is the first generation of "Hong Kong women" legends.
Born in the grassroots, four years old out of the rivers and lakes, often need to starve to the cold, early years of hard work, rely on their own efforts and persistence to create career myths. Therefore, Hong Kong people call her "Hong Kong's daughter", not only because she is the icon of Hong Kong's golden age, but also because she can survive with Hong Kong people.
Soon, Hong Kong's economy took off, and the development of the entertainment industry provided a stage for a group of women to show off. It was the golden age that many people miss now, and Hong Kong had enough local ginger and enough dragons: Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Mui Yanfang, Maggie Cheung, Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Liu Jialing, Wang Zuxian... All are legendary beauties of the magnificent era, and the time and place are favorable and occupied.
The image of Maggie Cheung's cheongsam in the movie "Fancy Years" may be difficult to surpass.
Of course, there are also beauties who choose the first path, marry into the giants, and fly up the branches. However, in addition to being naked and bright, most of the bitterness or loss behind it is not sympathetic. Hong Kong people like to watch the big people lively, but they will never regard Kwok Tai as the glory of Hong Kong women.
They are proud of Hong Kong women who have taken the other path. Maggie Cheung is the pride of Hong Kong people, after the cannes film festival and the Berlin Film Festival, 5 Hong Kong Film Awards and 5 Taiwan Golden Horse Awards are in hand, and Chinese actresses are unprecedented. Girls who go out of the circle with vanity rarely take a shortcut to beauty.
Zhang Guorong witnessed Maggie Cheung's transformation as an actor, and how Miss Hong Kong, who debuted as a young and astringent little white rabbit, went through the tempering of her acting skills step by step to make her talent complete.
Maggie Cheung was the runner-up of The Hong Kong Sister in 1983.
The times are caring, the market is booming, even if there is no talent of Maggie Cheung, many actresses with mediocre qualifications in that era also have the opportunity to make a circle, each spending into each eye, there is always an audience to pay. That's why we miss the golden decade of Hong Kong's entertainment industry with thousands of colors.
Since the middle of the last decade of the last century, hong Kong's climate has been quietly thin after the day, and only one Zheng Xiuwen has run out alone and outperformed across the board. She is the light of Hong Kong women in the minds of many people, her talent and appearance are not enough, she strives to rescue her with all her might, and she lays a foundation for herself.
The original photo of Zheng Xiuwen and Xu Zhi'an.
She is thin, tough, stubborn, tenacious, harsh on herself, and has no regrets about love. Because of Zheng Xiuwen, many people began to appreciate the beauty of flat chests, believing in the phrase "no matter how beautiful they are, they are not as noble as you", and learned self-love and independence.
After Zheng Xiuwen, there is no more queen of heaven in Hong Kong.
However, it is good to have a Yang Qianwei. If Du Qifeng interprets Zheng Xiuwen's hardness and purity with multiple roles, then Peng Haoxiang uses a Yu Chunjiao to show Yang Qianwei's bravery.
A Hong Kong woman like Miriam Yeung is fearless. The tenacity of the "tumbler" who "fell down and then went up" not only changed his life, but also "saved" the stubborn big child Zhang Zhiming.
Miriam Yeung may be the epilogue of a generation of Hong Kong women. / Movie "Chun Jiao and Zhi Ming"
A generation of "Hong Kong women" despised by Hong Kong people:
There is charm in paying bills, and there are buildings with climaxes
Most of the post-80s and post-90s women who grew up watching Hong Kong TV are influenced by the elite women of TVB workplace dramas.
For example, Mao Xiaohui, a highly paid and high-ranking female lawyer in "Male and Female Love", Nie Baoyan, a female forensic doctor whose work can no longer be cool in "Forensic Records" and who never drags mud and water, and Gao Jie, a female journalist who is in a storm in "Criminal Investigation Files"... Their work ability and income level are comparable to those of men.
Is the professional color of Hong Kong women weakening? / "Male and Female Love"
However, when the overall population of Hong Kong entered the "more women than men", the situation of high education, high income and low marriage rate of Hong Kong women became more and more common, and the weakness of men in society was revealed. This disadvantage has begun from the student stage, for many years, whether it is preparatory, examination or further education, the performance of boys is significantly worse.
However, Hong Kong women have not gained an absolute advantage in future work income, and the median income in Hong Kong statistics has been lower than that of men for many years, and the opportunity for promotion is less than that of men, and at the same time, they are criticized in the marriage market.
This unfairness has triggered a protracted and fierce debate between "Hong Kong men" and "Hong Kong women".
The netizens of the forum defined "Hong Kong women" as "money lovers" money worshippers who "talk about money and love famous brands", and even some people counted the "81 crimes of Hong Kong women", summed up, mainly excessive greed, excessive vanity, bad temper and only talking about rights without mentioning obligations.
Materialism is a word that has always been wrapped around Hong Kong women. / Panorama
The powerful "Hong Kong women" naturally fought back, teasing the "Hong Kong men" for treating the untrimmed edges as unruly, foul-mouthed, self-righteous, incompetent, and macho... In short, it is a daily scolding war, Hong Kong women scold Hong Kong men for not having great ambitions and getting a word, and Hong Kong men and Hong Kong women have no connotation and only look at Hong Kong paper.
There is a female writer in Hong Kong, Leung Ying-yeon, who is considered to be the ancestor of "Hong Kong women" in the derogatory sense. She once wrote an article called "Men's Shoes" to ask Hong Kong men to "stomp" and learn to wear designer shoes because of what class says and what people wear — as a result, she was ridiculed by netizens for being extremely superficial.
There have been Hong Kong women pretending to be flight attendants on the Internet to be exposed, and netizens have taken this as a synonym for the vanity of Hong Kong women.
There is charm in the bill, there is a climax in the building - the endless Leiren quotations on the Internet, which are in the middle of Huang Zihua's description of "Hong Kong women" in "My Sheng Lady", "the spirit of the spirit, the soul".
"Hong Kong women" degenerated into a "scolding" word, on the one hand, because of the unequal proportion of men and women and unequal gender concepts, and on the other hand, it was also caused by the increasingly fierce competition under the limited resources of the land of bullets. In the tradition of Hong Kong social thought, Hong Kong men lack silver, which naturally shows that Hong Kong women worship gold.
Young Hong Kong women want to be as confident as their predecessors, but they can't fight as hard and be as dashing as their predecessors. Because there is a sense of security with tiles to cover the head, but redoubling your efforts may not be able to catch the express train to buy a house.

Even the entertainment industry, a place that makes quick money, is not so easy to mix.
As far as the power of suckling, you can only mix 20,000 wages in the TV station, this road is not feasible, and naturally many people take another road. In addition, fairy tales will be broken, fighting to the end of Zheng Xiuwen, or is it not the fate of being "derailed", but also to endure?
As a result, we often see wet gossip such as "a certain gold-worshiping actress is on the wave and the rich man is cruel to his ex-boyfriend", and the eye-catching tomorrow star or the light of Hong Kong women is rare to see.
The Miss Hong Kong selection has been complained about to bring people less and less sense of surprise.
Hong Kong's new generation of "Hong Kong women":
"Hong Kong version of Lola", or Xie Anqi?
When Hong Kong was anxious about the lack of a new female legend, the "Hong Kong version of Lola" became popular.
Because of the negative stereotypes of narcissism, petite and fragile, covetous vanity and sublime beauty, Hong Kong women are about to be insulated from adjectives such as independence, autonomy and hard work.
So, as soon as Zhu Qianpei appeared, she quickly became an Internet "celebrity" - she completed incredible physical labor every day, constantly challenging people's preconceived judgments about Hong Kong girls in their minds.
Hong Kong version of Lola Jura Pey.
Zhu Qianpei is 30 years old and works in transportation and handling. She is an outstanding appearance, wearing an army green vest, shorts and cargo boots, and was filmed by passers-by while carrying out heavy unloading work, resembling "Lola" in "Tomb Raider".
Her story is a long-awaited urban legend for Hong Kong people.
Girls who lived in middle-class communities in their childhood, because of the failure of their father's business and left Hong Kong with their parents, decided to return to Hong Kong on their own as a teenager, did various jobs, slept on the sofa in the back of the truck, and were cheated by men to save up, scarred, but still self-reliant. In this crowded and bustling city, such a woman has received more and more praise and admiration.
At a time when Hong Kong values are eager to be revalued, Zhu Qianpei's down-to-earth perseverance, independence and unpretentiousness are seen as a positive response to the confused era - the crazier the world, the more tenacious they are.
Zhu Qianpei once participated in a mainland blind date program.
However, how many lolas are there in Hong Kong now? Zhu Qianpei, who is desperately trying to survive, also loves to be beautiful, adheres to the delicacy that a girl should have, and longs for someone to love, care and protect in her heart. The picture in the video undoubtedly covers up too many hardships in this girl's life.
Everyone loves legends, but life doesn't need too many legends.
Xie Anqi sang a song "Xi Ti Street" about the changing times of a city. Cities, like people, have a gas number, good times will not be every day, the key lies in how you live.
Huang Weiwen gave most of the good works to Yang Qianwei, but gave the best works to Xie Anqi. Over the years, she is one of the few Hong Kong female singers with a local temperament and highlights.
Xie Anqi, who came from the grassroots, has a unique kind of casual encounter. When he first debuted, he took the bus to announce it; when he was about to be red, he suddenly ran to get married and have children... Such a girl, who looks like she has no sense of fame and fortune, can strip away the derogatory meanings of worship of gold and vanity from the word "Hong Kong girl" and return it to neutrality.
Xie Anqi gives people a sense of closeness. / Wiki
Compared with Zhu Qianpei, Xie Anqi is more like most ordinary Hong Kong women. She is one of the pan-Hong Kong women, looking forward to every "Happy Sunday for Hong Kong Women": eating "Xiduo SendIng Wheat Peel" at the tea restaurant, reading the gossip magazine "1746 Issue", then talking about gossip with friends, singing K on vacation, manicure, massage, dish cooking, putting on the face, shopping, grabbing bargains...
In a business society, money is paramount, and not loving money is fake. Ordinary Hong Kong girls, steady and profitable, occasionally breathe, even if they are inflated.
Xie Anqi was doomed not to become Zheng Xiuwen.
She doesn't need to be a "plain but most beautiful" Hong Kong woman after the day.
