Whether she is So-fun in River flows east, Wing in Gum Gi Yok Yip, or Min in C'est... Gi Yi in The Rising Sun, she is a representative of the people of Hong Kong. Like most people in Hong Kong she always works hard and tries to do her best.
Beauty comes with the increase of wisdom. Let us see how she appraise herself about her beauty.
On the day of the interview, Anita looked fresh and refined, probably resulted from her constant care of her skin. However, she said " I do not take care of my skin very much when I am in Hong Kong. However, when in China, I would do a mask after each take. I would also do deep cleansing twice every Saturday. That probably is because it is dusty in China. An elder once told me that you have to do a mask everyday. However, I do not think that we need to nourish the skin too much. It si alright as long as there is just enough nourishment. Just as the other parts of the body, the skin needs rest. Hence we have to rest our skin. As for choosing skin care products, choose the ones that suit you. Most importantly, we should not feel pressured but choose the ones that we like. Latelly, I fell in love with a special brand of whitening notion. I felt very happy when I applied that notion and that helped to make it more effective.
What does she take internally to help care for her skin? She is a traditional person and believes in taking traditional kind of soup. Carrot and green turnip, water chestnut and tomato soup; tomato and fish soup are her favourites. However, she can have these from her mom only when she is in Hong Kong.
Freshness and full of energy is one of the necessity of beauty. When asked how she de-stresses and maintains her freshness, she replied that SLEEP is the only way. "Whenever there is a problem that I cannot resolve, I would go to sleep. My mind will be fresh after the sleep and I then can think about salving the problem rationally." " I can go to sleep, whenever there is a place where I can put up my feet"
Even though she is thin, she loves activities such as climbing, jogging, playing badminton and other exercises. Anita said " health goes hand in hand with beauty. Only when you are healthy that your natural beauty can be revealed. For example, being thin is the standard of beauty nowadays. If you maintain thinness by dieting, taking laxatives, etc. it is not healthy. Besides you are wasting food and damaging the mechanism of the body.
Anita believes that internal beauty is just as important as external. " 3parts internal and 7 parts external" External beauty should come with intelligence. External beauty without intelligent talks and behaviour is short lived. Beauty which comes from internally is more lasting. "Early in my career I became excited easily and had a bad temper. I did not know how to relax. My friends said that my eyes were scaring looking whenever I was angry. Now I have learned to relax and accept other peoples' criticism. I do not get angry too easily.
What is a beautiful life? She said that a good life would be one that you retire early and rich, just like the title of a book. This of course is a joke. she wish that in one or two years time, she can have a family with kids and a husband and work. She does not need a luxurious life. One that she is comfortable is enough. "If I have a year's holiday, I would like to go travelling with the girls who joined the beauty contest the same year as I . It does not matter where to go, only that the food must be good" she continued.
A lot of people would have thought that Anita is a person who has it all. Career and romance are both satisfactory. However, Anita said that she is quite an ambitious person. She still thinks that she can do a bit better in work. As for Romance, it is necessary for two people who stay together to learn from each other. Maybe that is life you have to keep on learning to improve yourself and your beauty.
