At 8 pm on August 10, the 2013 Phoenix TV Miss China Universe Americas Finals will be held at The Palazzo Theater in Las Vegas. Wonderful presentation. This is a dazzling top beauty pageant, a peak showdown between beauty and wisdom. Who will win the gorgeous crown?

Invited by Phoenix TV, the Phoenix Overseas Chinese Federation in Arizona organized a large-scale viewing group to participate. The event was organized and led by former Overseas Chinese Federation chairmen Fang Huixian and Gao Zhizhong, including members of the Chinese restaurant club affiliated to the Overseas Chinese Federation, the Overseas Chinese Women's Association and people from all walks of life in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. With the enthusiasm of the Arizona sun, Shachen drove to the magnificent Las Vegas to witness the beauty of the city. Bloom.

When we talk about organizing a group to watch the "Big Show" in Phoenix, we have to go back to 20 years ago. In the 1990s, Las Vegas in Nevada was booming, and the casino entered its golden age. Major casinos were built, including the Pyramid (Llixor 1991), the MGM Grand Casino (MGM Grand 1993), Treasure Island (Treasure Island 1993), and the Stratosphere. 1994), Paris (1997), New York-New York (1997), The Sword in the Stone (Excalibur 1998), Bellagio (1998), and the bombed-out and rebuilt Aladdin (1998) As the casinos and hotels opened grandly one after another, the Las Vegas Strip made of gold became even more dazzling, and the casino entered a new century. Rich businessmen from all over the world came here to spend a lot of money, and countless artists and theater troupes also came here.

At that time, the casino was not only filled with spring scenery, but also a branch of red apricot came out of the wall. In July 1991, the local newspaper published an article about the "Hong Kong Ming Chi Sheng Cantonese Opera Troupe" coming to the casino "Riviera". "An advertisement for the performance. Cantonese operas such as "The Second Life of Red Plum Blossoms" and "Luo Shen" starring Kai Minghui and Ruan Siu-fai, the lowest ticket price is $10 and the highest price is $100. Many overseas Chinese from Hong Kong and Guangdong flocked to the city and drove to the gambling port to watch.

In 1995, there was another "One Night Only" event. Lin Zixiang and Michelle Ye opened the concert on the MGM Grand stage. This concert of the then "Gossip Couple" caused a sensation in the Chinese world. Six thousand Chinese people drove or flew to the casino from all over the United States. However, due to wind and snow that night, traffic was blocked, and a considerable number of people could not make it to the venue. At that time, the Chinese in Phoenix City were not far behind, and it was planned by the local "Huamei Industrial Company" and "Fenghuang Travel Agency" , for the first time, a group went to watch it. This was the first time since the opening of the port that the local Chinese people collectively bought tickets to watch "Da Qian" in the casino. This show was very entertaining. Now I can relive the old dream and share it with the public

. In 2006, the Hong Kong music scene classified singers into "gods, saints, heroes, tyrants, queens, immortals, and hidden people". They are: singer Xu Guanjie, singer Alan Tam, singer Anita Mui, singer Tshin Ni, Luo Wen, singer Xu Xiaoyi, singer Leslie Cheung, and the hidden singer is Lin Zixiang.

Lin Zixiang is not usually high-profile. He hides himself but has strength. Ye Qianwen was born in Vancouver and became famous in Taiwan. She has a straightforward and cheerful "ghost girl" character. She began to learn skills from Lin Zixiang, but later became a housewife and caused a scandal. Ironically, when Ip came to Hong Kong for development, it was Lin Zixiang's wife Wu Zhengyuan who recruited Ip to join the record company. At that time, Lin Zixiang often wrote songs for Ye Canwen and taught her to speak Cantonese, and Ye Canwen called Lin Zixiang "teacher". Later, Ye Canwen became popular in the Chinese music scene in Hong Kong, and Lin Zixiang became her best love song partner. In the end, the two became partners in an extramarital affair! At that time, Ye Cuiwen also knew that she had fallen in love with a married man, but as she said, when love came, she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to! Many people were not optimistic about the "teacher-student love" between George Lam and Ye Cuiwen at the beginning, but George Lam fell in love without hesitation. In order to avoid the pressure of public opinion, Ye Canwen rarely sang for a while, while Lin Zixiang quietly took her abroad to travel around and play golf to relax. In 1995, Lin Zixiang paid HK$35 million in alimony to divorce his ex-wife. This matter caused a lot of uproar in the city, and finally they decided to go to Las Vegas to hold a "one-night-only" concert to publicize their relationship and end the scandal with actions. Later, in 1996, Lin Zixiang officially married Ye Cuiwen in Vancouver.

It was a late concert. Lam (Lin Zixiang) sang "A Man Should Be Strong", "Real Man" and other traditional songs with his bold and high-key singing voice at the beginning, while Sally Ye opened the show with her famous song, "A Chic Walk" which is popular in the Chinese world. Then the two held hands and sang many old and new love songs, English songs, and "Voice of the Heart" from Sally's new album. In order to cope with fans from all over the world, Lin and Ye have made careful preparations.

They set up a unique dialogue unit with the audience during the concert. This Q&A was a surprise. The audience asked: Are you dating? A: You asked too late. We have already made it public. Question: When will you get married? Sally answered falsely: I don't know, I haven't agreed to the marriage. Question: What are your measurements? Answer: It's bigger here, it's thinner here. Question: Can I sing a song with you? Answer, of course, we can go on stage and sing "I'm Too Tall" (Sally took off her high heels) and sing "Know My Heart Clearly" together. Later, Sally walked off the stage to sing and shook hands with the audience one by one, playing the friendship card.

Of course, some people were rude. During the performance, I heard someone shouting "adulterer and adulteress" from time to time, and some asked various pointed questions during the Q&A. Lin and Ye were not cheap. They had already made several signs, and their assistants would hold them up on stage. When asked a good question, they would hold up a sign that said "Thank you for your concern." They would say "No response" to embarrassing scandal questions and answers, and they would even directly hold up a sign saying "None of your business!" to questions that slandered their dignity. But raising signs was a sign raising, and throughout the whole process, Lin and Ye always controlled the scene with smiles on their faces. Finally, Sally put on a white gauze floor-length evening gown that looked like a wedding dress and appeared. Many fans in the audience sent flowers and gifts. In a warm and exciting atmosphere, they completed this concert with "a special meaning in life".

The concert that year was on Christmas night. Lin Zixiang and Michelle Ye made their relationship public to the world that night, and received warm blessings from everyone. This was the biggest Christmas gift they received that night.

However, for MGM, Lam and Sally are the best gifts from Santa Claus to the casino! This pair of lucky cats attracted thousands of yellow-skinned Orientals, most of whom turned into gamblers from the moment the concert ended. They couldn't wait to stick their butts to the seats of the blackjack table, put their hands on the handles of the slot machines, and began to race against time, without mercy, and nonchalantly throwing in countless banknotes and silver coins. For an elusive golden dream, thousands of people "meaningfully" dropped three or two hundred dollar bills. This kind of gift immediately made MGM millions! Amidst the seductive jingling bells that sounded from time to time, countless Chinese people rubbed their red eyes and looked at the large casino that exuded a mysterious emerald green light. They seemed to see a green figure all over the body, saying in an irresistible soft voice: "In order to keep the casino green, please bring more green banknotes!"

On that Christmas night, many people had unforgettable memories. http://www.paaca.us/

At the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas, the lions opened their mouths widely

. Now, in order to please the Chinese who flock here and are superstitious about Feng Shui, even the lions have closed their mouths.
