Ross, 27, earned the title of 1st runner-up at the 2021 Miss Chinese Vancouver pageant.

Chung, born in Canada to a Chinese-Vietnamese father and a Vietnamese mother, moved to Hong Kong in 1993 to compete in the Miss Chinese International Pageant. Despite not speaking Chinese at the time, she triumphed in the competition, which launched her acting career.

Her breakout role in the 1993 film “The Bride with White Hair 2” cemented her status as a celebrated figure in Chinese-language entertainment, and she went on to star alongside iconic actors like Hong Kong’s Stephen Chow and Singaporean actor Jet Li.
