Miss Universe beauty contest has ended
Beauty, stand on the stage and enjoy your cheers and glory
Such a scene is destined to be the other side of many girls' dreams
On weekdays, these girls are scattered in the city and do all kinds of housework
On this day, I removed my status as a Filipino maid and gathered here
Some people become contestants, and some people sit down to cheer for the supporting contestants
There is a completely formal competition system. After fierce competition, one of the popular girls will become better

When the clock strikes zero, girls will take off their gorgeous makeup
Sarah is one of the contestants in the beauty contest
Before entering the stage, she worked at the employer's house day after day, just like 200000 Filipino maids living in Hong Kong
If she has a choice, she certainly doesn't want to give up her life and work in her hometown
But in order to raise four children, she had to stay here and work hard
Looking back on her childhood, Sarah used to be a little girl growing up in love
Her father is a soldier, and he can go home for a few days every two months

Such a short vacation has also become Sarah's beautiful memories
She likes to play with her father and enjoy the happy time with him
However, the comfortable life is not long. After his father retired from the army, the family began to quarrel more and more frequently
After the contradiction could not be reconciled, the mother chose to divorce her father
After that, my father returned to his hometown and died soon due to illness
Sarah, who lost her family, grew up overnight. She secretly vowed in her heart that the family to be formed in the future must be harmonious and happy
Broken marriage should not affect children's growth

Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected
When she was 17, Sarah had a baby
Because Filipinos generally have traditional ideas, most people do not take contraceptive measures and do not approve of abortion
So this year, Sarah became a mother before she grew up
The dark days began slowly
In the following years, Sarah went through two marriages and had four children
Every marriage can't let her get the happiness she imagined
In the complex life, she not only needs to raise children by herself, but also needs to endure her husband's domestic violence from time to time
The poor life and poor marriage in her hometown made her feel desperate
Sarah chose to escape this life and become a Filipino maid in Hong Kong
In her mind, this clever girl from childhood should become a teacher according to her childhood wishes
But being pushed to this step by fate, Sarah has no choice
When I first arrived in a foreign country, I often cried secretly because of my hard work
But in order to let the children live a better life, she forced herself to grit her teeth and persevere
Fortunately, the employer here was very kind to her. She gave Sarah a concert ticket for a pop singer
Sara is happier

When she woke up the next day, Sarah, who had regained her sanity, asked her employer the price of the ticket
Obviously, changing tickets into money is enough for her to pay most of her children's tuition fees
So she gave up recreation and took a sum of money to support her family
There are countless similar things that Sarah cannot mention in her career as a Filipino maid
With the introduction of friends, participating in the Philippines maid beauty contest can be said to be one of the few things she has done for her own happiness in recent years
When she dragged her suitcase to the match scene, the smile on her face was sincere
It doesn't matter to her whether she can become better on the stage

Compared with Sarah guided by fate, Hong Kong Filipino servant Royce chose a more sober lifestyle
As the ninth child in her family, she was used to living in poverty since childhood, and did not receive a complete education
At the age of 19, she faced the same situation as Sarah. She got married early because she was pregnant
The husband is not a person who knows how to take care of the family. He never went out to work after marriage. He only depends on Royce to earn money for his family
Poverty has no end, but more and more places need money
As time goes by, the children reach the school age, but they cannot afford enough money to pay for the tuition

Facing the poor income and powerless husband, Royce finally determined to get rid of the bad life here and make a living in the larger world
This coincides with the opening of the Philippines to the outside world and the delivery of Filipino domestic helpers to various countries. Royce saw the opportunity and took it to board the plane going abroad
Most Filipino girls find it difficult to accept this tedious and hard work when they come out to work as Filipino maids
Royce doesn't think so
For her, life is much better now than that in her hometown
She has a fixed residence and job, and does not need to worry about the big and small things in life as before.
Making money is supporting the family. In her spare time, she can live by herself
In addition, she also uses these rare breaks to improve her ability
Go to the park to keep fit and learn the posture of competitors
She is very busy, just to show her style in the next beauty contest

Although she knows she is 37 years old, she is likely to stand on the stage of the competition
But she still did not lose confidence, but showed her strength more confidently
Enjoy a carefree life in another city
The beauty contest is like a mirror, which makes Filipino maids living in this land look very clear
On stage, you don't have to consider whether there are stains in the corner of the employer's house. You just need to accept the cheers on the stage confidently and show an elegant attitude
Roise becomes the third place, and can be praised by everyone in a dazzling place
Filipino maid has worked in Hong Kong for ten years, but she still hasn't given up her dream and hopes to become a Victoria model one day
They are hard workers in this city, but they are also admirable lights on the way to pursue dreams

After the lively award ceremony, the girls' beauty contest ended
At night, she walked home wearing a bright red skirt and was soon overwhelmed by the crowd
When the sun rises the next day, she will put on comfortable cotton padded clothes and wander around the room to complete all the work arranged by her employer
She wears a crown, comfortable and beautiful, and will disappear in the noisy night like a epiphyllum
Sarah participated in the whole competition, and also took off the jewelry step by step backstage and returned it to the staff
She didn't get any ranking in this competition, but she got endless happiness
Facing the interview, she lost nothing. On the contrary, she smiled and told everyone: "Do the dishes tomorrow"
As city service providers, girls finally enjoy the care brought by the city
Be appreciated, encouraged and rewarded
In the bitter life, be fed a little sweet
Learn to be strong in life and find confidence in competition
These forces from life are enough to support them to bravely move forward towards the future they want.
