Xu Zhizheng realized something was wrong and returned to Lai Shuxian's North Point apartment, only to find that Li Shuxian had fallen into a deep coma due to burning charcoal. He hurriedly called the police and sent him to the hospital. Unfortunately, Lai Shuxian died at the age of 46 due to ineffective rescue efforts.
After Lai Shuxian passed away, many celebrity friends in the industry expressed their condolences, and Hong Kong media also focused one of their focuses on Lai Shuxian's Miss Asia beauty pageant.
Li Shuxian entered the public eye because she participated in the 1995 Miss Asia competition. There were so many beauties in that year, and the competition was fierce. She, Christine Yang, Gong Xuehua and others were all popular.
In the end, she lost to the hot favorite Christine Yang, won the runner-up, and officially signed a contract with Asia Television (ATV) in Hong Kong.
There were a lot of things going on in the pageant contest back then. On January 15 this year, Lai Shuxian and Yang Yumei, the second runner-up of 1990's Miss Asia, sat on "Times Together" and talked with senior media person Yang Shaohong about their respective experiences in the contest for Miss Asia. The inside story also revealed the little-known filming experience and emotional entanglements after joining the entertainment industry.
When talking about the inside story of Sister Asia, the amount of information the two revealed was very large.
Yang Yumei (a popular Asian sister in the 1990s, including Wu Qili, Chen Baolian, etc.) revealed that some contestants used scissors to cut other contestants' appearance clothes, or sprinkled itching powder on the clothes.
Back then, she was shortlisted as a dark horse in the top ten and won the "Miss Photogenic" and "Perfect Body" awards. When she returned backstage, she found that all her clothes and underwear were missing. Not only that, because she won the award, she was also ostracized by other beauties. She even had to sit in a corner to eat alone, which made her very uncomfortable. She was even afraid that if she won too many awards in the finals, she would become the target of public criticism.
Lai Shuxian also revealed some inside stories about her year as Miss Asia, saying that the beauty contestants of the year she was running secretly gave bird's nests to the staff behind the scenes, relying on the strategy of winning people's hearts to stand out. She also specifically highlighted the beauty of Gong Xuehua. name.
Gong Xuehua was a popular member of Miss Hong Kong in that year, and she has been hotly discussed since she participated in the competition. Because when she participated in the competition, she revealed that she was 47 years old, making her the oldest among all previous Asian sisters. However, she was well-maintained and her appearance was very inconsistent with her age. In addition, she was once the Miss Chinese French beauty pageant champion, so she became a topic of conversation. She passed all the tests and advanced to the top five. Although they missed the top three in the end, their popularity was not lower than theirs, and they even won the Most Media Attention Award.
Lai Shuxian said that when Gong Xuehua was filming on location in Paris, she changed clothes directly on the tour bus and gained public attention and enthusiasm, stealing the spotlight from all the beauties around her.
However, in March this year, when Gong Xuehua was interviewed by Taiwanese media, she revealed that she was ten years older when she was running for Miss Asia. She revealed that because there was no upper age limit for running in that year, in order to cause a sensation, she wrote her age as 47, and she actually signed up. At that time, she attracted the attention of the media, and finally reached the top five, becoming the oldest beauty contestant in Hong Kong history.
In order to prove her true age, Gong Xuehua even showed her ID card to the media to prove that she was actually 64 years old this year.
In fact, in addition to Gong Xuehua, who was announced to be the oldest at the time, that Miss Asia contest also had Tao Anren, the youngest contestant in the history of Miss Asia, who was only 16 years old when she participated in the contest.

Tao Anren was born in Hangzhou and moved to Hong Kong with his father, a Chinese medicine practitioner, when he was 9 years old. In 1995, she successfully entered the finals of Miss Asia, but failed to make it to the top five. However, after losing, she still signed a contract to become an artist under ATV. She has filmed several dramas and also appeared in the movies "Hudumen" and "The King of Entertainment" , but faded out of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the late 1990s.
Tao Anren has kept a low profile since he faded out of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. After Lai Shuxian passed away, Hong Kong media discovered that Tao Anren had appeared at a party taking photos with friends a few years ago. At that time, she was nearly 40 years old and took a photo with Cheng Shaokang, a well-known Hong Kong agent and host. Apart from her mature charm, she looked the same as before.
I don’t know who has the deepest impression on you among that generation of Asian sisters?
