On the afternoon of May 8, 1995, Teresa Teng died of a sudden illness in Chiang Mai, Thailand, at the age of 42. The cause of her death has also aroused doubts from the outside world. For a while, rumors spread, and some people even said that she was killed. At this time, the remarks of the retired major general of Taiwan's intelligence agency Gu Zhengwen caused public uproar and revealed a dusty historical truth...
Once upon a time, the singing voice of Teresa Teng was regarded as "the voice of ecstasy" , listening to it will "kill the revolutionary will". At the beginning of
's reform and opening up, with the introduction of the new recorder, a mellow and sweet singing voice quickly became popular in the north and south of the country. On the cover of the tape played by
, people found that the female singer was just like her voice, and her appearance was pure and moving. Although
experienced controversy at the beginning, but with the trend of emancipation of mind, the name Teresa Teng, in sweet honey, small town story , Ye Laixiang, moon represents my heart and other popular songs, It has become popular in the whole and Chinese , and it has become a growing memory in the hearts of a generation.
Teresa Teng's ancestral home is Daming County, Hebei Province. Her father, Deng Shu, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and was a Kuomintang officer. Later, she followed the defeated Kuomintang troops to Taiwan. Her mother, Zhao Sugui, was from Dongping, Shandong. Authentic Chinese.
However, her footprints have been all over the world, but she has never been to the mainland. What is the secret behind this? Is it really as rumored that she is a "spy" sent by the Taiwan authorities?
Mystery of Death
After the 1990s, Teresa Teng, who gradually entered the age of confusion, began to reduce the number of appearances in front of the public, especially in the last two years of her life, except for occasional charity performances, she basically rarely participated in charity performances. Attending large-scale singing performances, in a "semi-retirement" state.
The main reason is her body. Her stubborn asthma disease has plagued her all the year round, and her condition has become more serious as she grows older, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to her singing career.
In order to maintain her good personal image and recuperate from her illness, Teresa Teng had no choice but to make a decision to temporarily leave the entertainment industry. During this period,
was accompanied by her foreign boyfriend Paul.
Paul is French and a photographer. The two met and fell in love in Paris due to work. Later, Paul returned to Taiwan with Teresa and became her personal assistant.
This is a typical "sister and brother love". Paul is fourteen years younger than Teresa Teng, and his personality is more capricious and somewhat childish, but Teresa Teng is very tolerant to him.
In April 1995, Teresa Teng and her boyfriend came to Thailand Chiang Mai , which is a world-famous resort, but she came here for another purpose.
Thailand Buddhism was prevalent, At that time, Teresa Teng also believed in Buddhist Tantra, so her trip was mainly to worship Buddha in order to obtain inner peace.
They stayed at the Mae Bin Hotel in Chiang Mai, in a luxurious prince suite on the 15th floor.
Around 4 pm on May 8, Teresa Teng had a sudden asthma attack. In order to survive, she kept knocking on the door for help.The waiter heard the sound and went to check. At that time, Teresa Teng was pale and out of breath.
Although everyone gave her first aid in a timely manner, and then rushed her to the hospital, she was unable to recover after all, and she passed away after a generation of songs.
At this time, his boyfriend Paul was not around. Before Teresa Teng became ill that afternoon, he left the hotel and didn't come back until 7 pm.
When the hotel manager told him that Teresa Teng had been taken to the hospital, he was indifferent and fell asleep until the police woke him from the bed.
After Teresa Teng died, the cause of her death became the focus of attention. Some Japanese media pointed out: Teresa Teng's body showed obvious red marks from the left neck to the forehead, such as streak marks and slap marks.
This led to speculation that "Teng Lijun was assassinated", and the hotel manager judged that she was mad at her boyfriend based on Paul's indifference.
Subsequently, the medical staff responded: "Teng Lijun has no bruises, nor any trauma."
Although the rumors subsided, Teresa Teng's family was extremely angry at Paul's irresponsible attitude before and after the incident, and even did not allow her Attend Teresa Teng's memorial service. After
, Paul sadly returned to China and disappeared.
Gu Zhengwen's words are shocking
Shortly after Teresa Teng's funeral, Taiwan's "Exclusive Report" magazine published an article, like a blockbuster, which caused an uproar in public opinion, and also caused an uproar in the world.In the
article, Gu Zhengwen, a retired major general of Taiwan's intelligence agency, testified:
"Teng Lijun is a secret intelligence staff member of the National Security Bureau of the Kuomintang. "
Teresa Teng, who has always shown a pure and sweet image, is actually a spy? I am afraid that no matter how rich the imagination, the two will not be linked together.
Gu Zhengwen is a native of Shanxi. He used to be a patriotic young man, but after his arrest, he defected and defected and became a notorious spy chief in the history of the Kuomintang, known as the "living king of hell".
During the civil war, he took advantage of his former work in the CCP to crack our army's underground radio station, causing us to suffer heavy losses.
In 1955, he again became the mastermind behind the famous " Kashmir Princess " bombing. Fortunately, Premier Zhou temporarily changed his plan, which saved him.
After the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, he continued to be reused by Chiang Kai-shek , which specialized in subversive and infiltrating work on mainland China, and soared in Taiwan's intelligence system.
, as a veteran agent , since Gu Zhengwen dared to speak up in the newspapers on this matter, obviously he will not follow the wind and make no basis for it.
Sure enough, along with his narration, a dusty historical truth emerged before the eyes of the world...
In the summer of 1968, Teresa Teng, who was 15 years old at the time, received an invitation from Singapore , and there was a local charity performance that wanted to invite her to participate.
To this end, Teresa Teng submitted an application for exit to the relevant departments of the Kuomintang authorities.
At that time, Taiwan was in the midst of the white terror of "military martial law", and various civil society activities and personal freedom were being monitored "overtly, loosely and secretly", and immigration management was naturally more stringent.
During that period, anyone entering or leaving Taiwan was subject to strict scrutiny by the "National Security Agency of Taiwan" without exception.
In the review process of entry and exit applications, there is a very important item, is whether the applicant can use his or her existing conditions to carry out intelligence work for the Taiwan Kuomintang government.
In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek reorganized the Kuomintang spy system, and "spy politics" has since become a lingering cloud over Taiwanese society.
At that time, a large number of civilians, intellectuals, and people in the literary and art circles were incorporated into the Kuomintang spy organization for various reasons. A large number of
people need to leave the country. In order to obtain the exit permit, they had to accept the exchange conditions of the Taiwan Kuomintang spy organization and were included as intelligence staff of the "Taiwan National Security Agency". Teresa Teng falls into this category.
Regarding the tasks and roles of these people, Gu Zhengwen further explained:
"A secret service intelligence officer like Deng Lijun who has been absorbed in is fundamentally different from other professional spies in principle. The espionage work of espionage skills is only to use his or her existing conditions to serve the Taiwan Kuomintang government under appropriate circumstances.”
It can be seen that in order to perform abroad, Teresa Teng had to be included in Taiwan’s intelligence department and became a a "spy".
However, Teresa Teng was only 15 years old at the time and was still a minor. She lacked the ability to judge and independent, and coupled with the special historical environment at that time, her behavior was completely forced and helpless. What
can be sure of is that Teresa Teng is not a spy in the true sense, and can only be regarded as an information transmission medium at best.
Although she is a Chinese, she cannot choose her own background and social environment, which also causes her to do it out of her own hands many times.
However, her singing has long surpassed all prejudices and differences, and has become a classic memory of an era, and has become the common spiritual wealth of all Chinese at home and abroad.
Actually, Teresa Teng is a very patriotic person, she is proud of being a Chinese on any occasion. No matter where she goes, she insists on singing Chinese songs. During her development in Japan, she refused to use Japanese products and refused to take a Japanese stage name.
Teresa Teng once sang a song "Original People", expressing the nostalgia of mainlanders living in Taiwan for their hometown.
In 1988, Teresa Teng, who was a smash hit on both sides of the strait at that time, received an invitation from CCTV to participate in the 4th " Sound of the Straits Concert", but due to the obstruction of the Taiwan authorities in every possible way, coupled with various complicated historical The reason, Teresa Teng finally failed to make the trip.
's failure to set foot in her homeland in her life has also become a permanent regret in the hearts of Teresa Teng and thousands of fans.
