@@luckybamboo104 Actually I have an uncle who used to work at then Baptist College in the 70’s and now is Baptist University. He said she was studying there.
@@luckybamboo104 I’m sure people who were not growing up in the 70’s wouldn’t know who Li Chi Chong is. Unfortunately he already passed on some time ago. I remember he came from Singapore like Robert Choi. He began working for TVB during the early 70’s and started out from EYT, he also participated in TV drama as well. This is the only one time he did the host for Miss Hongkong. When looking back, I would say he did a great job with his macho look and well spoken manner, very calm, very natural. But anyway, this show was forty five years ago, that leaves me a very nice distant memory.
U said Li Ka Lai is a smaller version of Loretta Chiu, I don’t think so. She used to live at Pok Fu Lam and was my neighborhood, she’s a long body stands around 5’7. And she did some amateur modeling before.
@barry demay Not #2 Li Ka Lai, it was the press who gave #3 that nickname. In retrospect, I can understand why. Frankly, I feel the press did an injustice to all these beautiful ladies by comparing them to the contestants of the year before. 45 years later, I find them very attractive, especially the poor 1st runner-up whom the press dislike back then! She looked so cute & sweet, her win was fair & square.
@@luckybamboo104 That’s just generation thing. U know what, the final of this 1978 pageant was a very successful one, if someone can get it uploaded, u can tell they did a great job for the set design and TVB was known to be good at big show production back then and because of that, this show won the silver award from the New York TV Festival. True, everything goes by the time. These day Miss HK Pageant doesn’t look great like they just do it in their own studio to cut budget. If u see the Final, they have a once-in-a-lifetime singing.
Sorry for my cut up, I’m trying to tell u that year they had a Broadway like performance by Frances Yip, Roman and Liza Wang, that was really once-in-a-lifetime.
