Julie Kuo first Taiwanese-born woman to compete in Miss USA contest
taiwannews.com.tw
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- This weekend in Las Vegas Julie Kuo (郭瑞筠) became the first woman of Taiwanese descent to compete in the Miss USA pageant, though she fell short of her goal of winning the crown.
Before the competition, Kuo had been predicted by Heavy and Pageant News as one of the likely winners of the 2017 Miss USA pageant, though in the end, she had to settle a top 20 finish out of 51 competitors. She was among five immigrant women vying for the Miss USA crown and seven out of the top ten finalists were also women of color.
Her ensemble for the evening gown competition was picked by The Pageant Planet as Top 10 Preliminary Evening Gowns At Miss USA 2017.
Kuo was born in Tainan, but at the age of 10 emigrated to Hawaii with her family. She became valedictorian of her graduating class in high school.
She became eligible to compete in the Miss USA pageant by winning the Miss Hawaii competition in 2016, also a first for a woman of Taiwanese descent, an impressive feat for an event with a history of highly talented competitors, including previous winners such actress Kelly Hu and Miss USA and Miss Universe 1997 winner Brook Lee.
During the talent phase of the Miss USA pageant, Kuo performed the violin, which she has played for over ten years. The ultimate winner of the pageant was also an immigrant, Kara McCullough, who was born in Naples, Italy.
Kuo hopes that her participation in pageants will bring more visibility to Taiwan. She aspires to be a small restaurant owner and serve her favorite Taiwanese foods.

Taiwanese comedian Chu Ke-liang dead at age 70 taiwannews.com
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- The famous Taiwanese comedian Hsieh Hsin-Ta (謝新達), better known by his stage name Chu Ko-liang (豬哥亮), who has been entertaining Taiwanese for decades since the 1980s, lost his battle with cancer early Monday morning at National Taiwan University (NTUH) in Taipei after suffering liver failure, according to his doctor.
At his side was his daughter, the singer Jeannie Hsieh (謝金燕), 42, with whom he had recently mended ties with after a long-running feud. Chu reportedly abandoned Hsieh after both she and her sister suffered severe injuries in a near-fatal car accident, and Hsieh severed ties completely with her father after he had gone into hiding in the mid 90s to avoid a reported NT$1 billion (US$33 million) gambling debts.
Steps For Mending A Family Feud

Step into the other person’s shoes.
“No matter how flat you make a pancake, it’s still got two sides,” says Dr. Phil. Try to see the other person’s side of the story and make an effort to understand why he acted the way he did. Try not to judge; instead, look at the situation from a bird’s eye view. Conversely, examine your role in the feud. Are you as innocent as you may claim? Ask yourself what you did to contribute to the problem. Did you do or say something hurtful? Did you promise something and then back out of your agreement — even if it was for a valid reason? Keep in mind the other person probably has some valid points that you need to weigh and consider.
Choose to forgive.
Forgiveness is a choice, Dr. Phil says. Don’t wait for a feeling of forgiveness to wash over you suddenly; you have to choose it. Holding onto a grudge will only eat you up inside and cause more family rifts. The only thing worse than not speaking to a family member for a year is not speaking to him for a year and one day. The past is over. The future hasn’t happened yet. The only time is right now.
Stand up and be the hero.
Sometimes, relationships need a hero — someone who makes the first move, chooses to be the bigger person, is willing to compromise, or step up and start the healing. Swallow your pride and be that person. Think about what the future holds if you do not mend this relationship. There comes a point where you have to stop blaming each other, you have to stop judging each other, and you have to say to yourself, “What can I do today to make this relationship better?”
Extend the olive branch.
Take responsibility for your actions and offer an apology. Explain why this relationship is important to you and affirm your love for the other person. Ask yourself, if your family member died suddenly, what would be left unsaid? In a perfect world, if you could write the script of your life, what would your relationship with that person be like? Start creating that relationship now.
