Life of Rose Chan - Famous for her amazing act.
This part of Rose Chan's show won't go down well with certain ppl. It has some explicit descriptions of her acts. Those who feel offended by the descriptions, please pass by. This is not a porn fiction. It's a true story about a well-known striptease in the 50s and 60s era.Once the music starts, the troupe emerges from behind the curtains, clad only in panties and a star covering each nipple. Dancing slowly to the tune of Chinese music, typically chacha and mambo rock, they strip naked the moment a voice booms "Hoi" ( Cantonese : open) over the microphone.
When Rose Chan comes on stage, she moves subtly, gently swaying in a slow dance, all by herself. As she removes one piece of clothing after another, the tempo gradually picks up. When she reaches the point of removing her brassiere, she holds back.
That is when her stagehands bring in the pythons and she dances with the snakes wrapped all around her. Next, she removes her brassiere, and dances bare-breasted. After a while, the snakes are removed.

She then approaches the people sitting nearest to the stage, who are normally the elderly big towkays (Hokkien : business owner). She takes an old man's spectacles, rubs it agains her private parts, and then gives it back to him. Some of her acts are very crude. With her legs spread wide open , she peruses her most intimate parts to :
a) stuff a banana inside
b) open the cap of a Coca Cola bottle
c) pull out a string of razor blades that was inserted in one by one
d) shoot a dart at a balloon high up
She then tells some jokes. Sometimes, she will ask a Caucasian (because she knows theya re more sporting than the shy, local guys) to go up on stage, and gets him to strip her or any of her performers. She slowly rolls down her panties bit by bit until the audience can have a peek at her pubic hair. The crowd goes hysterical and eventually she removes her panties, and dances and sways to the beat. The music then slows down and she walks around, and then off she goes backstage.
Before she died of breast cancer at the age of 62 in 1987, in an interview, she said it was all hard work. She had to practise and practise to get the acts right. Her life was not bed of roses as her name.

otherwise, very interesting.
thanks
I was very dismayed that her children "disowned" her. If anything I would look at her from the standpoint that she had to do what she had to do in her life to support herself. It wasn't her fault that certain cultures "sell their children" when the parents need money. And she had to do something to support her kids.
Those old geezers that "bought" her and married her for her looks and then just dumped all over her were just as much to blame.
I blogged about her because I find her life interesting and how a woman can perform such difficult task just to earn some living.
As I grew up, I hardly heard about her until several years ago I came across an article in a magazine about her. I wondered how was her life. I googled to find out. I was curious to know about her life from the beginning till her death.
When she was in her hospital bed, she told the writer that if anyone wanted to write a book about her , she would agree but for a sum to pay for her medical bill. Until her last breath, no want came forward. I think she died a pauper.
