8th March 2025 – (Hong Kong) Hilary Chong, the reigning Miss Hong Kong at 22, has recently opened up about her father’s health struggles, sharing a series of poignant black-and-white portraits on social media. In her heartfelt post, she reflected on the fragility of life, stating, “You know, life is very fragile. In the face of life and death, one feels so small.

Thankfully, we have been granted another chance, and we must learn to cherish those around us, alright, Dad?”

However, she has since gained recognition for her evolving beauty, prompting speculation about possible cosmetic enhancements. In response to these rumours, she once remarked, “To address the surgery allegations: I simply reduce the number of edited photos.”
