After the competition, Anastasia said: “I am very grateful to the judges, who recognized my philosophy... I hope to discover inner beauty through participating in this competition and use it to help those in adversity, inspiring them to hold firm to their beliefs, persevere, and not give up on their faith.”
Anastasia is currently pursuing a double degree in Drama and International Relations at the University of Toronto and has participated in the performance or production of over 20 films and television dramas. She was also the third runner-up in the 2013 Miss World Canada pageant.
The 50 finalists in this competition came from various ethnic backgrounds, including 6 Chinese contestants. In the finals on the evening of the 16th, the selected contestants showcased their talents through dance, singing, and painting alongside the candidates for Mr. Canada. During the Q&A session, the contestants not only demonstrated their knowledge but also exhibited mature and individual thinking.
Anastasia will next represent Canada in the Miss World competition. The best result for Canadian contestants since they began participating in the Miss World pageant in 1957 is the runner-up position. A significant change in the rules of the 2015 Miss World competition was announced by the chairperson Julia Morley, stating that the swimsuit segment would no longer be included. In response, Anastasia expressed that this historic breakthrough elevates the competition, reflecting that it does not focus solely on the contestants' external beauty but emphasizes the excellent qualities and inner uniqueness of women.
