This article highlights Charmaine Sheh’s historic fourth Best Actress win at the TVB Anniversary Awards, a record-setting achievement in the network’s history.
On January 4th, the curtains fell on the TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony. Actress Charmaine Sheh, with her deeply moving portrayal of “Man Cheuk-sum” in “The Queen of News 2”, swept the awards, winning both “Best Actress” and “Most Popular TVB Female Character in Greater Bay Area”, becoming the first actress in TVB’s history to win the TV Queen title four times, setting a new industry record. On the award stage, she wore high-end natural diamond jewelry from the British luxury brand GRAFF. The brilliance of the diamonds and the gleam of the trophy shone upon each other, much like her acting career spanning over two decades, radiating a unique and resilient charm amidst the flow of time.
This award was no accident, but the natural result of Charmaine Sheh’s relentless pursuit of her acting career. From her initial breakthrough and first TV Queen win with “Dicey Business” in 2006, to reaching new heights with “Line Walker” in 2014, her third win with “The Queen of News” in 2023, and now her fourth win with “The Queen of News 2”, she has used twenty years to complete her transformation from a rookie actress to an industry icon. In “The Queen of News 2”, Charmaine Sheh portrayed Man Cheuk-sum’s struggle and perseverance in transitioning from a traditional anchor to a new media journalist with remarkable depth, showcasing the character’s adherence to journalistic初心 in the era of流量, and allowing the audience to see the deep integration of the actress with her role. As she said in her acceptance speech:
This dedication to her craft and the process of refinement resonates perfectly with the formation and polishing journey of natural diamonds. Previously, Charmaine Sheh attended an event as a special guest wearing De Beers Group natural diamond jewelry. Under the guidance of Jodine Bolden, Chief Education Officer of the De Beers Institute of Diamonds, she delved into exploring the extraordinary world of natural diamonds. During the event, she closely admired three rare natural diamond roughs—a 297-carat巨型 rough, a 22-carat rough embedded in kimberlite, and a rare “beating heart” diamond-in-diamond rough, the latter containing a small diamond that can move freely inside, hailed as a geological marvel of great nature.
Guided by experts, Charmaine Sheh gained a comprehensive understanding of the complete journey of natural diamonds, from billions of years of nurturing and precise sorting to meticulous cutting and polishing. She also shared her own warm connection with natural diamonds: a heart-shaped natural diamond earring gifted by her mother in her youth remains a cherished token of her growth to this day.
Charmaine Sheh’s感慨 eloquently expressed the common core between the path of acting and the brilliance of diamonds—only by enduring the沉淀 of time and undergoing千锤百炼 can one achieve extraordinary value.
From her deep appreciation for natural diamonds during the De Beers workshop to the dazzling moment adorned with diamond jewelry at the awards ceremony, Charmaine Sheh’s stellar journey perfectly aligns with the unique qualities of natural diamonds. The永恒, uniqueness, and resilience of natural diamonds are vivid annotations of her twenty-year acting career; and her dedication and passion for her profession further animate the spiritual value carried by diamonds.
The glory of the fourth TV Queen win is an affirmation of Charmaine Sheh’s past achievements and an expectation for her future path. Just as natural diamonds remain brilliant as ever after billions of years of polishing, this powerhouse actress will also continue to沉淀 in the river of time, with an irreplaceable charm, releasing more dazzling light that belongs to her.
