Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

As the music stopped, the audience's hearts remained in their first love, in that beautiful memory that had been sealed away for so long.

My wandering thoughts were interrupted when contestant number 5, Chen Xiyu, began to sing.

This is a very famous Cantonese song, and it was one of the top ten hits a few years ago.

No need to dwell on the past.

All that has passed is dead.

In the past, people were lost in dreams.

Do not recall the tears shed in the wind, lamenting our parting.

"No Need to Remember Old Dreams" carries a touch of sadness. Chen Xiyu's slightly hoarse singing makes it sound like a woman who has experienced many hardships recounting a past relationship.

There's no need to dwell on the past.

After time has passed, it is no longer mentioned.

Why wait so much for love in the past?

I will repay you for all the grievances I have wronged you.

There was relief, but also sadness, a sense of understanding gained from countless experiences, and a feeling of helplessness in the face of life's twists and turns. Deep down, there was also a faint sense of anticipation.

"The long road of life ahead..."

They each find their own way and fly apart towards the horizon.

If one day we have unfinished business,

I will always meet you again, even at the ends of the earth.

Life is full of disappointments, and adult love is something you can only hope for, not something you can force. You have to be able to take it and let it go. If you should try to hold on, you won't give up; if you can't, then we'll both find our own happiness.

Therefore, there is no need to dwell on old dreams, nor to grieve or be saddened by them.

The joys and tears of past lives, the coming and going of fate.

Let me repay you in full today.

Lingering feelings remain, yet a graceful letting go is achieved. In the adult world, love is no longer the only thing; there are too many ties, and love is no longer everything in life.

After Chen Xiyu finished singing "Old Dreams Need Not Be Remembered," the accompaniment for the song by the last contestant, contestant number 24, Tan Feixia, also began.

Another very lyrical song that was sung everywhere is "The Moon Represents My Heart".

After the melodious prelude began, Tan Feixia's sweet voice sang:

You ask me how deep my love for you is,

How much do I love you?

My feelings are genuine.

My love is true too.

The moon represents my heart.

Tan Feixia's singing voice is very sweet, as sweet as if she were soaking in sugar water, and it also tastes just like the feeling of being in love.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,

How much do I love you?

My love remains unchanged.

My love remains unchanged.

The moon represents my heart.

The cloyingly sweet vocals and lyrics perfectly capture the essence of lovers entwined. The tender whispers and blushing words exchanged are truly captivating…

"A simple question,"

It has already touched my heart.

A deep and profound love story.

It has made me miss it to this day.

The stage lights also began to change, turning pink, as if countless pink bubbles were surrounding Tan Feixia.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,

How much do I love you?

Think about it.

Go and take a look.

The moon represents my heart.

As the final music ended, this group of contestants' performance also came to a close.

The enchanting lights disappeared, and the stage was illuminated by a bright white light, as if it were daytime.

Host Chen Jinchu also stepped onto the stage, saying, "They were so beautiful! Four love-related songs that made me want to fall in love. I think the four beauties sang much better than Lu Xinghe. Xinghe, don't you think?"

The camera focused on Lu Xinghe in the audience. Lu Xinghe smiled, his features were exquisite, and he exuded a sense of warmth and approachability.

Lu Xinghe nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement with the host's words.

Chen Jinchu smiled and said to Lu Xinghe, "But your opinion doesn't count; we need to hear the opinions of professionals. Shigao, it's up to you."

Fang Shigao, who was already sitting next to a musician named Lin Zifeng, said, "Zifeng, among the audience, you are the most professional in terms of music. Why don't you give us some feedback?"

Lin Zifeng took the microphone and asked the host, Fang Shigao, "Let me test you. Of the four beauties who just performed, who do you think sang the best?"

"Huh? Why are you testing me?" Fang Shigao said, both amused and exasperated. "I'm notoriously tone-deaf. You're better off asking me why roosters don't lay eggs."

The audience burst into laughter again.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore." After laughing, Lin Zifeng began to give his serious critique.

"The four beauties each have their own unique voices. It's hard to say who sings the best, because every audience member has their own favorite style, and I can't make that decision for them."

However, from a professional perspective, I think contestant number 19, Hu Xiaoxiao, sang better. I could tell that among the four contestants, she was the only one who had seriously studied vocal music.

At the same time, it was also clear that she hadn't been studying vocal music for very long, and was still a little behind professional singers.

But her hard work and dedication to learning vocal music, and her commitment to today's stage, are commendable.

Moreover, her voice is very unique and distinctive, with exquisite detail. I have high hopes for her; I believe that if she continues to learn, becoming a professional singer in the future will not be a problem.

Fang Shigao expressed surprise, "You have a very high opinion of contestant number 19."

“I always think highly of people who have potential and are willing to work hard,” Lin Zifeng said.

Chen Jinchu smiled and said, "Thank you, Shigao, thank you, Lin Zifeng. I hope contestant number 19 will continue to work hard and go further. The following performances will also be absolutely wonderful."

Backstage, after her performance, Hu Xiaoxiao stood behind the stage, listened to the guests' comments, and nodded to herself: Not bad, it seems her efforts were not in vain.

As Zhao Yanhong passed by, she saw that Hu Xiaoxiao seemed to have a satisfied expression on her face. She stopped and teased, "The guests were just being polite and giving a few compliments. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

How many contestants haven't been praised? I've been praised too. You don't think that being praised guarantees you first place? Naive, you're celebrating too soon.

Hu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Zhao Yanhong strangely: "You're not happy when people praise you, do you only feel happy when people criticize you? Your taste is quite peculiar."

"I'm just trying to be helpful, but which of the beauties performing today didn't pull out all the stops? Even Athena, who seems otherworldly, brought her elementary school ballet skills to the stage. But until the very last moment, who knows who will emerge victorious?"

In order to win first place in tonight's competition, Zhao Yanhong even used the Cantonese opera performance that was originally intended for the finals in the semi-finals.

"Something I've been saving? Sorry, my suitcase is too big, it's packed with too much stuff, all top-quality items. And—" Hu Xiaoxiao voiced her doubts:

"Tonight is just the semi-final. Do we really need to give it our all? Isn't it enough to just be in the top 16 and not get eliminated? If we use all our skills tonight, what will we have to win the final?"

Moreover, talent is only one aspect of the Miss Hong Kong pageant. Other aspects of the competition are equally important, or even more important.

If you only focus your energy on your talents and neglect other aspects, you will lose badly.

True strength lies in mastering everything.
