For the first time in 47 years, the Miss Hong Kong election will be suspended.
TVB executives announced that due to the epidemic, this year's Hong Kong sister election will be suspended for one year.
That is to say, there will be no new beautiful people this year.
excusable.
However, there is still a little regret.
Miss Hong Kong has always been the business card of Xiangjiang, and behind it is not only beauty and culture, but also cross-era significance.
Now that it is not held, I inexplicably feel that the color has been reduced.
Since there is no election, let's review the road of Hong Kong sisters.
This road has always been at the center of public opinion, closely linked to money, power, and sex.
This road is also the road of the decline and fall of Hong Kong Sister.
If you ask passers-by, what is the most representative of Hong Kong?
Many people may say: Miss Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong sister election began in 1946.
That year, the beauty pageant was held at the Retiro Gardens Nightclub. Later, he was picked up by TVB and went to the peak of beauty pageants.
It is worth mentioning that in the year that the Retiro Garden Nightclub was held, the Hong Kong Sister Championship was finally won by Li Lan.

She came from a destitute background, had never read a book, and worked as a receptionist in a hotel.
When he heard that he could run, he immediately signed up for it, on the grounds that he "didn't want to be a host anymore."
In the end, she successfully won the crown and participated in the movie "Huang Feihong Whips the Wind and Extinguishes the Candle", cooperating with Huang Feihong.
Thus a hit.
Because of her fame, she quickly married a playground executive.
The typical sparrow becomes a phoenix.
Her appearance also opened up a path for ordinary girls - beauty pageants, which can change the class.
In the following years, countless young girls, as long as they have good looks, have embarked on the road of beauty pageants.
One of them is called Sun Yong'en.

She was recommended by her friends to run for Hong Kong Sister, and she just turned 18 years old.
At that time, Hong Kong's economy was sluggish and the atmosphere was conservative. People are shy and don't pay attention to entertainment at all.
Therefore, when Sun Yongen became a Hong Kong sister, the Hong Kong media commented on her like this: This is one of the most courageous women.
But no one expected that even if she won the crown, she did not become as popular as Li Lan.
Because being blinded by a person.
Her name is Zhao Yazhi.
This year's beauty pageant, Zhao Yazhi also ran. But because she was too nervous, she finally stopped in the top three and only finished fourth.
However, she was fortunate to sign a contract with Wireless smoothly, and during the pregnancy of her second child, she was invited by the "Shanghai Beach" crew to play Feng Chengcheng and cooperate with Zhou Runfa.
"Shanghai Beach" talks about jianghu affairs, and it is inevitable to play drama.
Zhao Yazhi resolutely did not do it.
For her sake, it is said that the director deliberately deleted a large number of action scenes.
So you will find that Zhao Yazhi in "On the Beach" has always been quiet and dignified.
There is a scene where on a snowy day, she and Zhou Runfa are reunited after a long goodbye, and should have expressed their emotions excitedly. But she was afraid of affecting her pregnancy, and she only talked while walking, which was very quiet.
Snowflakes fell and fell on Zhao Yazhi's hair, with a peaceful beauty.
She was on fire.
Not long after, he participated in "The Legend of the New White Lady".
Fame is in the ascendant.
This TV series also directly laid the foundation for Zhao Yazhi's path to the gods.
It is said that to this day, she is the highest-ranking Hong Kong sister in the hearts of Hong Kong people.
Jin Yong praised her, saying that Zhao Yazhi represented the beauty of the East.
The success of Zhao Yazhi has also allowed more girls to identify the beauty pageant, which is a shortcut to counterattack.
The following year's Hong Kong sister champion Zhang Wenying, who was originally a model, did a good job. But in order to choose a beauty pageant, he resolutely gave up his role as a model and ran to participate in the Hong Kong sister election.
There is also the champion of 76 years, Lin Lianghui, who grew up in the Uk since childhood and received a Western education. But as soon as she turned 18, she couldn't wait to return to Hong Kong and vowed to die to win the crown of Hong Kong sister.
The word Hong Kong sister represents not only glory, but also the peak dream of a girl.
From another point of view, it is desire, it is wealth, it is love.
Zhu Lingling, the 1977 Hong Kong sister champion, is a typical representative.
The year when Hong Kong sister was elected to Zhu Lingling, she was already very mature.
The Hong Kong sister stage has also become the concubine pool for the rich.
Just when Zhu Lingling appeared in the eyes of Hong Kong people, Huo Zhenting took a fancy to her.
To be precise, it was the Huo family who took a fancy to her.
When Zhu Lingling took the crown, the Huo family's roses greeted her.
Subsequently, Zhu Lingling became Huo Zhenting's girlfriend.
Not long after, she became the daughter-in-law of the Huo family.
Their wedding was grand, no less than that of the royal family.
The luxury hotel was held, hundreds of tables were set up, and many celebrities were invited, business, politics, sports, entertainment... All came.
In an instant, Zhu Lingling became a rich bride.
That year, Zhu Lingling walked into the door of the Huo family with the title of Hong Kong sister champion.
Open the precedent of Hong Kong sister marrying a tycoon.
Later, Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen, Wu Wanfang, etc., all successively became rich daughters-in-law.
However, Zhu Lingling also worked hard, and after only a year of marriage, she gave birth to her son Huo Qigang.
Two years later, Huo Qishan was born again.
Another ten years, with Huo Qiren.
All the children were born, and her status was as stable as Tarzan.
But the life of the rich is not good after all, after marrying into the Huo family, Zhu Lingling's actions are restricted, and when she goes out to wear jewelry, she must borrow from the housekeeper.
When her three sons grew up, she couldn't stand it anymore and was determined to divorce her.
As soon as she divorced, she turned around and married Luo Kangrui.
Luo Kangrui is also a tycoon, with a number of real estate companies and a value of over 100 million.
Having married into the rich twice, I have to say that Zhu Lingling is the luckiest Hong Kong sister.
This period is also the prosperous period of the Hong Kong sister election.
However, there are still too few beautiful women who can really come out.
The Hong Kong sister champions of those years, such as Zhao Wenya, Dai Yue'e, Lao Jin Changliang and Su Yunrui, did not catch fire.
However, Zhong Chuhong, who did not even enter the top three, and Weng Meiling, who fell in the first place, suddenly became red.
Fate is really a trickery.
Still, fate seems fair.
After Zhong Chuhong became a generation of sexy actresses, she lost her husband in middle age and is still alone.
Weng Meiling, on the other hand, committed suicide due to emotional entanglement with Tang Zhenye. It lasts for 26 years.
They are all from Hong Kong sisters, but the ending is just as sad.
Pathetic.
Along with their love and hate, Miss Hong Kong has gradually become the focus of Attention of Hong Kong people.
In 1983, Hong Kong's economy slowly recovered, and sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong reached the second stage.
Hong Kong's entertainment industry is on the rise.
That year, Teresa Teng held six consecutive concerts at the Hongkan Stadium in Hong Kong, once setting a new high for concerts.
100,000 people watched. Highest at the box office. The venue was full.
At this moment, the Election of Hong Kong Sisters has reached its peak under the impetus of the times.
Maggie Cheung appeared at this time.
As an adult, she ran to run for Hong Kong Sister. But in the end, only the runner-up was obtained.
That year's championship was won by Yang Xueyi, but unfortunately she could not bear the weight of the crown and disappeared a year later.
And Maggie Cheung, who went up against the current, went from being the least optimistic and became an international film queen.
Since she became famous, no one has ridiculed her baby fat, and no one dares to laugh at her for being only second.
Because at this time, Maggie Cheung proved her acting skills with films such as "Ruan Lingyu" and "Fancy Years".
Especially in "Fancy Years", her emotional drama with Liang Chaowei is stunning and dazzling.
The two didn't have to talk, just staring, it was worth a thousand words.
In particular, the back of Maggie Cheung wearing a cheongsam is still a talking point.
Closely behind Maggie Cheung was Zhou Haimei.
She is also not a Hong Kong sister champion, and she has not even reached the top three, not even the top ten.
Almost nothing was won, not a single award.
However, Zhou Haimei won in luck.
She is different from Maggie Cheung, who is doing her best to prove herself, while Chow Hai Mei has great luck.
A few years after losing the election of Hong Kong sister, Zhou Haimei was favored by Jin Yong and starred in "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", playing Zhou Zhiruo.
She became popular overnight.
Its fame even overshadowed the other two leading actors, Ye Tong and Ma Jingtao, becoming the most outstanding person.
Jin Yong once said in public that Zhou Haimei was his favorite heroine.
Some people even said that if Jin Yong had known that Zhou Haimei played Zhou Zhiruo, he might have rewritten the final ending.
This shows how popular Zhou Haimei is.
However, although she was vigorous, her fate was far less smooth than that of other Hong Kong sisters.
After becoming famous, Zhou Haimei loved several men successively, passed on a lot of peach-colored lace, and her career plummeted, and finally disappeared from everyone.
A few years ago, she was also scolded to shut down Weibo for playing the evil mother in "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost".
Her encounter also highlights another mode of survival of Hong Kong sister.
Even with the aura of the body, if you don't work hard enough, you will still be beaten back to your original form.
The younger generations Yang Baoling and Chen Farong are typical representatives.
They are the most loved Hong Kong sisters after Zhou Haimei.
One shocked Xiangjiang because of his appearance.
The other, because of the temperament of the amazing judges.
But Yang Baoling did not love Xingtu and loved men, and secretly married Chen Rongsen as soon as she debuted, and then the tragedy began to cycle.
After getting married, Chen Rongsen exposed her privacy and publicly told reporters that Yang Baoling has a big sexual desire and wants to do it ten times a week.
Yang Baoling's reputation plummeted, and the stars were destroyed.
After that, she disappeared.
Coming out again, I have experienced a third marriage.
And Chen Farong, after winning the crown, acted in "Water Moon Cave Heaven", which became popular.
Later, she inexplicably withdrew from the film and television circle, heard that she ran to invest, and as a result, she lost everything, and she is still plagued by scandals and is alone.
Their story can be called a typical example of the fall of Hong Kong sisters.
A woman, because of luck, opportunity, and personality, although the starting point is the same, but it will really take a different path.
However, there are still some people who do not admit defeat and finally succeed in standing on the top of desire.
That's Li Jiaxin.
At the age of 18, Li Jiaxin participated in the Hong Kong Sisters Beauty Pageant. The year she was elected, she pushed Hong Kong sister to the peak of public opinion.
Because she is beautiful enough, the Hong Kong media pursues her as "Hong Kong sister among Hong Kong sisters".
Li Jiaxin lived up to expectations and really won the crown.
The moment she stood on the stage, she was trembling, and the whole person was excited and surprised.
Because at that moment, a woman's fate will be rewritten again.
Later, she entangled with Liu Luanxiong and other rich people, fell into the small three doors, and her reputation plummeted.
However, Li Jiaxin did not accept defeat.
Within a few years, she married Xu Jinheng in reverse.
Easy transition from one giant to another.
Today, Li Jiaxin has really become a Kotai.
And her legend also makes the word Hong Kong sister smeared with materialism.
Later, Qiu Shuzhen married a rich family, and was also bitterly criticized for being a gold lover.
Not to mention Guo Aiming, she did not marry a tycoon, but chose to marry Liu Qingyun, and was also questioned by the Hong Kong media for many years.
This is the most prosperous time in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Especially in the film industry, many classic masterpieces have emerged, such as "God of Gamblers 2", "Drunken Fist 2", and "Domestic Lingling Paint".
The media said that this is the film year in Hong Kong.
However, for some reason, just when the film industry was ripe for the day, the Hong Kong sister election was lonely.
After Guo Caiming and Guo Keying, except for an accidental appearance of She Shiman, there was no longer a beauty who surprised Xiangjiang.
In recent years, the Hong Kong sister draft has been declining.
Some people even laughed: If in the past, the audience was eager to know how beautiful Hong Kong sister is, then now, they are eager to understand how ugly Hong Kong sister really is.
Especially in 2017, the controversy continued.
Among them, Lei Zhuang'er won the final championship and won the "Most Photogenic Miss" award.
However, her appearance was scolded as the "tooth champion".
It was also laughed at that the champion was not as good looking as the runner-up.
Since then, the three words of Lei Zhuang'er have rarely appeared in the news.
The 2018 pageant, not to mention, simply can't be named.
Last year's Hong Kong sister competition did not arouse any sparks.
If it were not for the suspension of Hong Kong Sister this year, I am afraid that the public would have long forgotten about the beauty pageant.
From the beginning, to the peak, and finally to the gradual decline, the Hong Kong sister election has gone all the way, lasting 47 years, witnessing the ups and downs of Hong Kong for more than 70 years, and finally going into decline.
Why, exactly?
Someone gave the answer, perhaps because of the economic impact.
It is also said that it is probably a change in aesthetics.
And Sister Chi wants to say that beauty has never changed, and what has changed is that we miss that era.
The creatures are old.
And we, on the other hand, have grown up a long time ago.
