Just as the renowned Chinese writer Eileen Chang once described her rosy-hued cheongsam as having "the fragrance of a color that can be smelled", the dress was often connected with many poetic scenes in stories and real life.
One of the best works showcasing the beauty of the cheongsam is the 2000 film by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai titled In the Mood for Love, in which actress Maggie Cheung wore 23 different cheongsams with a variety of colors and patterns.
