I woke up this morning to find 6 (!!!) emails awaiting me from friends and people I don’t even know telling me that the People’s Republic of China girl - Zhang Zilin - won the China Miss World 2007. Strange! I had no idea people are that into Miss World or that they consider me as being that associated with Miss China. The amount of incoming traffic from Google about Miss China, Miss World 2007 and Miss Asia variations is quite overwhelming for a small blog.
I kind of saw it coming. China’s Miss World candidate is absolutely gorgeous and no other Miss World candidate comes close. Having the event in China made it even more special for her. Together with Miss Japan winning the Miss Universe 2007, there is a growing appreciation for Asian beauty. There’s a reason why many consider Chinese girls to be the most beautiful girls in the world :)

Stunning.

Eh, eh ! No Nobel prize or Fields medal yet in 50 years for the New China (let say half a Literature politically-uncorrect prize with Gao Xingjian !) …but a true Miss World ! Sign of times…
