The Craziest Season: A Decade of Memories from China's 'Happy Chinese Girl Selection'

The 11th season, which aired in 2011, is widely considered the most memorable and "craziest" in the show's history. The heated competition between contestants led to fans passionately vouching for their favorite artists. One of the most memorable moments came from popular singer Liu Xin, who moved the audience with her rendition of "Lao Nan Hai" (Old Boys), a performance that led her to share the stage with fellow contestant Su Mang, as they sang a duet of "Fen Lie & Shatan".
The competitive spirit within the show was not just limited to the stage. Fans also took to social media, engaging in intense debates on who they thought should be the ultimate winner. Many cited their favorite contestants, such as Tang Lihong, Huang Chun, Li Si Dan, and Yang Fei Yang, as potential champions.
The talent show's unique format, which featured 24-hour live broadcasts, set it apart from other programs. It allowed audiences to see every moment of the contestants' lives, from their bedrooms to the kitchen to the practice rooms. The only place not shown was the bathroom, leaving viewers with plenty of content to dissect and judge. Fans of the show will also recall the intense rivalry between the fanbases of various contestants.
The climax of the season was marked by a fierce battle between fans of Tang Lihong and those supporting Huang Chun. Ultimately, it was Tang Lihong who emerged victorious, but not without a dramatic showdown between the two competing supporters. Another memorable moment came from popular contestant Yang Fei Yang, who impressed the audience with her captivating performances week after week, despite not receiving the same attention from judges as some of her peers. Even after being eliminated, her resilience and positive attitude earned her a loyal fan base.
As time has passed, many contestants from the 11th season have gone on to enjoy successful careers in the music industry. Liu Xin has remained a popular figure, with fans often demanding her appearance on the hit show "Sisters Who Make Waves".
