Cindy Wu Crowned Miss Chinese Vancouver 2021

12/13/2021

Unanimously praised by the panel of judges, the graceful and elegant Cindy Wu was crowned Miss Chinese Vancouver 2021. The art and design instructor with a double degree from the prestigious Parsons School of Design and a master's degree from the Royal College of Art has represented Canada in various international painting competitions. She once auctioned her work to fund water development and construction in areas of Africa suffering from extreme poverty, with the ambition to bring unity among people using her artwork. In the two-minute talent performance at the Final, Cindy likened herself to the gentle yet persistent historical character Mulan whom she portrayed with charcoal. Not only were her artistic skills impressive, but the symbolic meaning behind the art was even more vivid.

This year’s adoption of a completely new hybrid format featured physical and online components. The Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2021 has brought firm belief and endless hope for eight courageous and gorgeous young ladies to shine and share their individual stories at this dazzling annual spectacular event. Through a series of training and online courses, the girls were blessed with the opportunity to challenge themselves while regaining the feeling of togetherness among one another. Although there were bittersweet moments, tears, and laughter, every minute of their journey documented the transformation and growth of these adventurous girls who dare to dream. The grand finale integrated the essence of Eastern and Western cultures. Be it image styling, stage design, or the artistic presentation of performances, the profound meaning of the theme "Time to Embrace" was manifested throughout the show, allowing you, the audience, to experience the beauty of the world as it is time to emancipate from obstacles and embrace each other once again.

In strict compliance with the health and safety guidelines, the organizing committee invited a small number of distinguished guests to participate at this extraordinary event. The charming emcees, including the sophisticated and modest Fred Liu, the humorous Brian Chiu (BChiu), and the young and charismatic Chris Yuen, formed a hilarious trio injecting laughter and joy to the show. It was a great pleasure to have Dr. Dayan Huang from the emergency department of Vancouver General Hospital; Miss Hong Kong Maur Yeung; Management agent of famous Asian Hollywood actors Mr. Andrew Ooi; Winner of Hong Kong's Ten Outstanding Young Persons Selection, Mr. Matthew Lui; and multimedia specialist and early childhood educator, Miss Tracy Chen as the honorary panel of judges to nominate the champion and winners of various awards this year.

Following the round of applause from the crowd, the lovely and vivacious finalists made their grand entrance in bright, colourful swimsuits. The vibrant dance moves paired with the brisk and romantic Mediterranean music set off the intro to this year's Pageant. The 8 finalists ignited the stage with poise and charm! Immediately after, the big screen was turned on, featuring each contestant's self-produced introduction from multiple perspectives. The girls were subsequently posed with a series of fun rapid-fire questions to test their wits. While maintaining a leisurely manner, the girls provided an answer instantly without hesitation, triggering laughter and excitement to the guests below.

After the enthusiasm and glamour, the stage was transformed into an artistic arena. The girls shared their previously recorded videos onscreen, capturing the most sincere feelings of their own and delineating the evolution of their live performances. In the blink of an eye, an East-meet-West cultural excellence wasdemonstrated through stunning, fast-paced drawing, gentle and touching vocals, energetic hip-hop, and original Chinese dances. In addition, various musical instruments were played, including the guitar, harp, and clarinet, transcending the attending guests to a small concert hall. Cheering in the audience was also Gloria Tang, former Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant and Miss Chinese International, who made a surprise appearance to boost the girls’ confidence!

In an elegant cocktail dress, the finalists’ intelligence was tested in the most anticipated Q&A segment. Aligning with this year's East Meets West theme, the candidates were challenged with the task to fullyunderstand different traditions in the world and integrate other cultural concepts into Canadian society. Though the bar was raised, the contestants were not deterred but able to confront with ease instead.

The magical night went by in an instance, reaching a sentimental and touching moment when the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant finalists emerged in a refinedcheongsam to reveal their deepest emotions. Each of them responded to a question they had prepared for themselves three months before the start of this once-in-a-lifetime voyage.

The 2021 Pageant was meticulously designed to embrace every minute of the full journey, including the first meeting with the judges. Both funny and tearful moments from the first encounter, to the judges' harsh criticisms, to the girls' immediate reactions were inserted into final TV program. On top of that, a team of quick-witted DJs joined in with their comments while supporting their favorites. It was indeed a novel experience for viewers across Canada to enjoy the Pageant as a reality show!

Undoubtedly, the special presentation by the renowned music master and producer, Mr. Richard Yuen was the cherry on top of this fantastic finale. Richard has created countless popular masterpieces in the music industry for decades. Together with young local artistes and musicians, a series of significant numbers were rearranged in an ensemble using Chinese and Western musical instruments, including the piano, guzheng, erhu, violin, guitar, and flute. Coupled with the amazing vocals from singer-songwriter Duck Lau and singing artistes Dionne Phillips and Athena Wong, a divine musical entertainmentwas staged. Setting off the show's climax, the finalists paraded on stage for the last time that night accompanied by the classic “Chasing” from the legendary Leslie Cheung.

Walking with you in the wind and the rain, Fairchild Media Group fully supports B.C.'s Flood Relief

11/26/2021

Fairchild Media Group's Fairchild Television, Talentvision, and Fairchild Radio AM1470 & FM96.1 is urging everyone to lend a helping hand to the flood victims of British Columbia so that they can safely overcome adversity and rebuild their homes as soon as possible.

As a result of a sudden "atmospheric river" effect, the continuous rainfall in southern British Columbia has caused 24 cities and towns in the province to record more than 100 millimetres of rain since November 13. Hope, the worst-hit area, recorded 252 mm of rain which is 73% of the local average of 344 mm in November. Coquihalla Summit, Agassiz, Chilliwack and Squamish also recorded more than 200 mm of rain. This "500-year-old" extreme rainfall coupled with the forest fires this summer has caused flash floods in various places and rivers to burst levees. Railway and road traffic has been paralyzed by flooding and earth-rock flows. Floods have blocked many cities, and residents were urgently asked to evacuate the premises. The loss of life and property is hard to estimate. The Provincial Government of British Columbia declared a "state of emergency" across the province on November 17. The federal government also dispatched thousands of air forces to assist in supplying supplies, monitoring disaster areas, and air evacuation.

The British Columbia Government website lists 4 Canadian charities, including the Canadian Red Cross, United Way, Food Bank BC, and The Canadian Salvation Army to provide support to those impacted by the flooding and landslides, which led to mass evacuations and cut off entire communities from the rest of the province. In addition, the BC SPCA will also fully assist families with pets affected by the disaster. You can select your favourite charity and follow the link below to its fundraising page to donate.

The heat dome in British Columbia has triggered more than 300 active wildfires in the province.

Many Lytton residents still remain missing. Fairchild Media Group in collaboration with Canadian Red Cross has set up a donation page to lend a helping hand to the victims of wildfires in British Columbia.

Between July 3 to December 31, 2021, the Province will match all donations, up to $20 million made by individuals and corporations. 

Please visit http://www.redcross.ca/British-Columbia-Fires-Appeal/FairchildGroup to make a donation now!
