圣莫尼卡华裔女子当选洛杉矶华埠小姐第一公主 母女相隔32年同获殊荣
曾在圣莫尼卡居住的华裔青年艾什莉·赖（Ashley Lai）摘得2026年洛杉矶华埠小姐选美比赛“第一公主”桂冠，成为今年华埠小姐选美的新一届文化大使。值得一提的是，她的母亲32年前也曾在同一比赛中夺冠，母女两代人相隔32年先后站上同一个舞台，在洛杉矶华人社区传为佳话。赖在获奖后表示，自己过去一度怀疑自己“不够华裔”，而这次当选让她开始以文化大使的身份更深入地连接华裔文化，积极促进华裔社区的文化传承与交流。洛杉矶华埠小姐选美比赛创立于1963年，由洛杉矶罗省中华总商会赞助，是一项一年一度的领袖项目，旨在从大洛杉矶地区选拔优秀年轻女性代表华裔社区。比赛不仅看重外形与才艺，更注重获奖者服务社区、传承文化的意愿与能力。华埠小姐的头衔在洛杉矶华人社区有着悠久的分量，历届获奖者多年来活跃于社区公益、文化推广与青年领袖培养等领域。

Ashley Lai, a Chinese-American woman who has lived in Santa Monica, has been named First Princess of the 2026 Miss Los Angeles Chinatown pageant, becoming one of the pageant's new cultural ambassadors. Her mother won the same competition 32 years ago, and the two standing on the same stage a generation apart has become a much-told story in Los Angeles's Chinese community. Lai said after her win that she once doubted she was 'Chinese enough,' and that the title has led her to connect more deeply with her heritage as a cultural ambassador, promoting cultural inheritance and exchange in the Chinese-American community. Founded in 1963 and sponsored by the Los Angeles Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (the 'Lo Sang' Chinese chamber), the Miss Los Angeles Chinatown pageant is an annual leadership program selecting outstanding young women from the greater Los Angeles area to represent the community. It weighs not only appearance and talent but also a winner's commitment to community service and cultural preservation. Miss Los Angeles Chinatown titleholders have long been active in community charity, cultural promotion and youth leadership.
