2022 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown Queen & Court

It is with both joy and a touch of nostalgia that I bid farewell as Queen of Miss Chinatown Los Angeles. The past two years have been an extraordinary journey, one that I will forever cherish and hold close to my heart.

2020 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown Queen & Court

I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude, reflection, and excitement for the future as I pen this farewell message.

Through the difficult walking, dancing, and speaking practices, I hold myself with much more confidence and courage than I did before. This competition made me realize the importance of empowering women in our society and understanding our history as Chinese Americans. To the girls who want to become an ambassador for the Chinese American community, this pageant will not only teach you proper etiquette and confidence, but it will also help you present the best of yourself to become a great role model…
