Kristy Yang's Page
The young pretty looking actress all the time......
|
After winning the Miss Asia Crown in 1995, Kristy is now an actress with Hong Kong's Asia TV. One of her latest movie is "Storm Riders"
Who is she
This winner of the 1995 Miss Asia Competition was born in Shanghai but migrated to Canada
with her family at the age of 11. Kristy Yang Gong Ru’s route to stardom occurred
while the pretty lass with porcelain-like features was reading Commerce at a university in
Canada. Kristy was on a holiday with her mother in Hong Kong when mom encouraged her to
take part in the beauty pageant. It was a turning-point in her life when the green-horn
was crowned Miss Asia. The former shrinking violet has certainly come a long way from
those days of yore when she would shy away from eager reporters. Nowadays she fields
questions with poise and finesse.
What is she famous for
An anomaly from the usual league of former Miss Asia-turned-Category-Three-Starlets (e.g.
Weng Hong, Li Qing, etc), Kristy Yang is a respectable up-and-coming actress appearing in
acclaimed movies like Comrades, Almost A Love Story (she plays the bride from China to
Leon Lai's character). Her role in The StormRiders ( ·ç ÔÆ) as a girl torn between two
lovers may just give her acting career another boost.
Future Role Model
It looks like Kristy could well follow the footsteps of Maggie Cheung, another beauty
queen-turned- thespian. Like Kristy, Maggie too emigrated with her family to an
English-speaking country (England) in her childhood, only to return to the Pearl of the
Orient to join the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant and seek her fortunes in the flourishing
entertainment industry. So, Kristy, take heart: there is hope for beautiful "flower
vase" after all!
