Chinese girls lifting people over their heads

Here are some scenes of Chinese / Hong Kong TV shows in which a girl lifts a guy over her head with no apparent reason for why she is so strong. All scenes are somewhat comedic, with the shows being lighthearted wuxia serials or comedies, and the girls are ordinary girls, i.e. not vampires, robots, possessed, superheroines or anything like that.

The first scene is from a comedy / wuxia series called The Duke of Mount Deer or Royal Tramp from 2008. In the scene a young girl and her master demonstrate some fighting skills to the main character and at the beginning the girl lifts up the old guy with one hand and holds him abover her head.
The second scene is from a recent comedy show called Can't Buy Me Love. A girl and a guy follow a thief through the streets. The guy eventually is able to stop the thief and causes him to fall to the ground. Then the girl arrives and angrily grabs the thief, lifts him over her head and starts to shake him until some piece of jewellery falls out of his pocket.
Number three is from Paladins in Troubled Times. A young girl wants something from a man (I don't remember what) and proposes a challenge: One of them is going to lift something in the room and if the other one can't lift it, he/she looses. She starts and lifts him over her head which he in return obviously can't, so she wins.

I have no idea if there are more scenes like that in the shows mentioned as these feats are somewhat random and each of the series is about 40-50 episodes in length. In one plot summary of the series I read, the girl from Can't Buy Me Love is described as being amazingly strong, but the only ubergirl moment I found (so far) is the one pictured above.

I posted the three scenes to mediafire:

Can't Buy Me Love (ep 10) - overhead lift
Paladins in Troubled Times (ep 3) - overhead lift
Royal Tramp 2008 (ep 18) - overhead lift
