As a mature man after 80, there is always a lingering image of a goddess in his mind, she is Angie Chiu.
Angie Chiu (November 15, 1954 - ), nickname: Ah Chi Ya Ya Chi Chi, was born in Hong Kong, China, and graduated from Shung Tak Catholic English College.
In 1973, she won the 4th place in the first "Miss Hong Kong" beauty pageant and entered the acting industry in 1975 when she appeared in her first TV series "Ride the Wave". She was awarded as one of the top ten stars in Hong Kong. In 1985, she won the Gold Award at the New York International Film and Television Festival for her performance in "The Goddess of Mercy"; in the same year, she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry. 1987, she made her official comeback and was nominated for the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress for her role as Yao Mulan in "The Smoke and Mirrors of Beijing". 1992, "The Legend of the New White Lady" was again a hit. In 2007, she was awarded the title of "Most Respected Performing Artist" in the first China Huading Awards. "In January 2019, she was nominated for the 1978 Excellence Award for the Top Ten National Actresses of the 40 Years of Reform and Opening Up ; in December of the same year, she was awarded the Top Ten Actresses of the New Era International Television Festival .
My favorite film she starred in was The Legend of the New White Lady. The Legend of the New White Lady is adapted from the folk legend The Legend of the White Snake, which was initially set in Feng Menglong's The Legend of the Wise in the Ming Dynasty and matured and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, making it a model of collective Chinese folk creation. The image of Bai Suzhen, the snake demon portrayed by Zhao Yazhi in it, has become a goddess in the minds of almost all Chinese people of that era. Whenever "The Legend of the New White Lady" started airing, literally millions of people were in the streets, and even today, the TV show's ratings are quite impressive. Why? I think it highly caters to the concept of love and affection advocated by traditional Chinese culture. The unbreakable, untidy relationship between husband and wife, the kind of blood thicker than water, mother and son's affection, deeply touched the heart of every Chinese people, making people feel shocked and warm.
Let me share the stills of Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the New White Queen".
Hey, it's a pity that I can't upload the pictures here.
