Celebrate the "Chinese Cheongsam Overseas Collection" and the "Global (China) Cheongsam Congress" Launching Ceremony

[Bamboo Forest Report] On August 16, many cheongsam enthusiasts gathered in Phoenix City to participate in the launching ceremony of the cooperation between the local "Chinese Cheongsam Overseas Collection" and the "Global (China) Cheongsam Federation", announcing that the Chinese Cheongsam Overseas Collection is in line with international standards, jointly carrying forward the essence of traditional Chinese quintessence, and promoting the beauty of cheongsam culture. Attendees on that day appeared in colorful cheongsams of various lengths and lengths. Their graceful figures, combined with the cheongsam's simple and clear lines, rich and colorful styles, and soft fabrics, bring out the unique elegance, femininity, elegance and charm of oriental women. It becomes an unforgettable, unique and beautiful landscape. The China Cheongsam Federation is a cultural communication platform jointly established by celebrities from all walks of life and outstanding representatives of the global Chinese community with the strong support of the Chinese Ministry of Culture, the Women's Federation, embassies of various countries in China, and overseas Chinese organizations. It currently has 427 branches, including 324 domestic branches and 103 foreign branches, with more than 2.3 million members. As the brand awareness of the China Cheongsam Association becomes higher and higher, the number of branches is also gradually increasing, and the number of members is increasing day by day. The Qipao Club has members all over the world, including Mrs. Zuma of South Africa, the Japanese royal princess, and the wife of the US Deputy Secretary of Foreign Affairs. They are all members of the Qipao Club.

The purpose of our cheongsam association is to "carry forward Chinese traditional culture, show the style of cheongsam, and highlight the charm of oriental women." This year, on May 16, the China Cheongsam Federation also broke the Guinness World Record for the largest number of people walking in cheongsam. The number of global participants reached 200,000, walking in China and various places around the world. It also used visual art to show off the elegance and graceful charm of Chinese women and spread the connotation and beauty of Chinese clothing culture. Arizona’s “Chinese Cheongsam Overseas Collection” was established in 2012. Since its establishment, it has held cheongsam salons and participated in many performances such as the Spring Festival, Asia Festival, and Chinese school stage plays. In particular, it has participated in charity performances and won the first prize at the 10th "A Taste of Asia" fundraising dinner. In a short period of time, it has achieved remarkable results, which is impressive. In this year's Spring Festival Gala, a nostalgic "Shanghai Beach" program captured the hearts of a large number of people. The cheongsam is full of charm, showing that cheongsam is not just clothing, not just aesthetics, but also culture. Perhaps it is not just culture, but also a national spirit and sentiment. Cheongsam is not only about curves, but about confidence and aura. As the theme song of the China Cheongsam Federation sings in "Ode to Cheongsam": "You are the beautiful messenger of China, and you are the sunrise impression of the world."

Zhang Huafang, formerly the chairman and vice-chairman of the Chinese Cheongsam Overseas Federation, and now the president and vice-president of the Global (China) Cheongsam Federation, and Tang Ke are both practitioners, performers and leaders who love beauty, cheongsam and Chinese traditional culture. Zhang Huafang was the former chairman of the Greater Phoenix Overseas Chinese Federation and is currently the chairman of the Chinese Restaurant Association of Alberta. She is a well-known strong woman. But she is not satisfied with just being a strong woman, she also wants to be a beautiful and strong "woman". She has been responsible for the training of local Chinese beauty pageants and packaging beauties many times. I also have a special liking for Chinese clothing, especially cheongsam and its culture, with a sense of mission, honor and pride. This time she joined the Chinese Cheongsam Federation because she returned to China to work hard.

Since she has the convenience of being a social activist, she must spare no effort to promote Chinese culture. How can she waste these resources in vain? To this end, she said, "As a Chinese, we have the obligation and responsibility to show our culture and aesthetics to more people. I will try my best to create more opportunities for everyone and seek a larger and more international stage." She also hopes that members can continue to be ambassadors of the beauty of China, show the beauty of traditional Chinese costumes to all ethnic groups, and allow Chinese culture to be passed down overseas. Vice-president Tang Ke is considered to be a cheongsam lover by nature. His unconcealable grace is revealed from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. He is calm and looks at the flowers by the water. He is a person who can wear cheongsam to the core. At the same time, she will regard carrying forward and promoting the cheongsam culture of her motherland as her lifelong career. Chinese culture and art have always been with her in her life. In 2004, she was one of the top 10 image designers in Southwest China for Miss Universe in China. She later served as an image designer in Hong Kong, Singapore and other places. Before establishing the "Chinese Cheongsam Overseas Collection" in Arizona, she had already created many original cheongsam dances and was determined to establish the cheongsam brand image overseas. Behind the awards and recognition are the countless hard work and sweat she has silently put in.

In order to create the cheongsam, the business card of Chinese fashionable women, she showed two visions: First, she gave everyone a professional and artistic vision of cheongsam cultural etiquette guidance and beauty. During the day's activities, she demonstrated and taught everyone elegant sitting posture, squatting posture when picking up things, noble, reserved and virtuous demeanor, etc. The second is innovation, creativity, creation, and integration into an international perspective. The combination of cheongsam dance and tango she choreographed continuously collided, explored, and practiced in the process of organic integration of Eastern and Western elements, and was recognized and appreciated by mainstream society.

When Chinese style leads the world trend, Chinese cheongsam will take advantage of the situation, continue to grow, and shine on the international stage. The establishment of the Phoenix branch will also play a positive role in guiding the global development of Chinese cheongsam culture.
