On May 8, 1995, a generation of song queen Teresa Teng died of bronchitis and asthma attacks, and died in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Now that 24 years have passed, she seems to have never gone far and live forever in the hearts of her fans.
Today, this rich flower has always been on the hot search list. From the old videos that have been preserved, we have discovered the weird and playful and cute side of Teresa Teng .
: As long as there are Chinese people, there will be Teresa Teng's singing.
Her huge influence, spanning the distance between time and space, was selected by CNN in the United States as: "The 20 most well-known musicians in the world in the past 50 years."
has been imitated but has never been surpassed.
As the spiritual mentor of countless musicians, Teresa Teng has created indescribable music classics, such as "When will you come again", " Small Town Story ", " I Only Care for You ", "Sweet Honey", "The Moon Represents My Heart", etc.
Looking around the entire Chinese music scene, after so many years of death, there are still so many people who still commemorate and miss her, and I am afraid there are only a handful of people.
In other words, what kind of person is Teresa Teng?
was born in Taiwan in 1953. She has three older brothers and one younger brother on three sides. She is the only daughter in the family.
's real name is Teresa Teng, which means "beautiful bamboo". Later, most people mispronounce "Yun" as Jun, so they simply changed it to Teresa Teng.
My father is a veteran from mainland China to Taiwan. The brothers and sisters grew up in "military villages", which is the residential area built by the government for military families, namely the "outsiders" tribe.
Teres Teng's childhood life was very hard. Fortunately, she had amazing musical talent. At the age of 10, she participated in the Huangmei Song Contest held by "China Radio" and won the championship with her song "Visiting English and Taiwan".
13 officially debuted and participated in the first singer training class of Zhengsheng Company. He received guidance from the early Taiwanese pop musician and composer Weng Qingxi . While
became famous, it also brought her academic troubles. Jinling Girls' Middle School gave her an ultimatum to either continue singing or focus on her studies.
After several months of struggle, Teresa Teng finally chose to drop out of school and continue to pursue her musical dream. Later, in an interview, she said:
"I like singing very much, so I am just singing for myself. Even if there is no bonus, as long as I can sing, I will be very happy."
Life is full of choices, and sometimes there is no difference between good and bad. I hope you can also listen to the sound of your heart and do what you like.

In the music scene, Teresa Teng quickly made a splash with her fresh and natural singing voice, and the yellow orioles coming out of the valley.
A soft and good voice has conquered fans in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Southeast Asia and other places.
In the popular "Creation 101" last year, a Thai contestant sang Teresa Teng's "Going to the West Tower alone" and said that she fell in love with singing because of her.
At that time, Japan, which was the second largest record market in the world, Polydo Company took a look at Teresa Teng's talent at a glance, and the two parties successfully signed a contract for 5 years.
In Japan, she debuted as a newcomer of "TeresaTeng". Then the Japanese albums " Airport " and "Love" became popular in Japan, making Teresa Teng the most famous Chinese singer in Japan.
Then, she attended the Red and White Song Festival three times as a singer, and won the "Japanese Cable Award" in Japan for three consecutive years. This record was not surpassed by Ayumi Hamasaki until 2000.
In addition to singing skills and temperament, Teresa Teng's character is also unforgettable for Japanese agents.
During the Japanese development period, she required that every concert must have Chinese songs and a set of cheongsams.
Whether Japanese fans can understand it or not, she wants others to know: "I Teresa Teng is Chinese."
She looks gentle and weak on the outside, but she has a stubborn sense of family and country in her bones.
During this period, a "fake passport" storm occurred. At that time, Taiwan and Japan had a bad relationship and Taiwan's passport was invalid.
Because he was going to Japan to participate in an event, Teresa Teng switched to Indonesian passport, but was deported by Japanese customs. Taiwanese people also expressed deep dissatisfaction with her.
In desperation, she had to go away from the United States and later traveled to Canada.
For mainland China in the 1970s and 1980s, Teresa Teng's songs belong to the category of banned broadcasts, meaning a melodious sound.
But this did not hinder the spread of her songs among the people. At that time, most people used recorders and card tapes to listen.
There is a clip in the movie "Youth", and Chen Can secretly brought a recorder to Lin Dingding and the others.
When Liu Feng first heard Teresa Teng's singing, his legs and feet became soft and he felt the impact from the soul.
Then, he made the stupidest decision in his life to confess to the female warrior Lin Dingding, and all the subsequent encounters began.
The same thing happened to Juding , the lyricist of "Intimate Lover".
1977, my father's friend took a Shanghai-made "202 recorder" to his home and played a song by Teresa Teng for A Ding. "I was stupid at the time. I think there is such a sound in the world."
In Wang Xiaoshuai's movie " Qinghong ", Li Jun, a young technician played by Qin Hao , accompanied by Teresa Teng's "Ten Thousand Loves" and became the most fashionable entertainment at that time.
In that era of barren information, Teresa Teng's singing was like a wind from the strait, bringing people a new way of expression and life picture.
However, as time goes by, people's concepts are gradually changing.
When Teresa Teng died in 1995, CCTV reported the first time that her related information was broadcast, and the queen's music began to become popular in the mainland.
But unfortunately, she never fulfilled her long-cherished wish to hold a concert in the mainland in her entire life.

Teresa Teng sang more than 400 songs in her life, singing for love for life, but she has never found the home of love.
started her love at the age of 18. She experienced 6 relationships in total. Unfortunately, she was either separated by yin and yang, or had deep love and shallow relationships, or had bad relationships, and finally left regrets...
First love is a young industrialist named Lin Zhenfa .
The two have a sweet relationship and once reached the stage of talking about marriage. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Lin Zhenfa died of a heart attack. Teresa Teng was heartbroken and took a year to get out of the sadness.
The second relationship is still sad. The other party is a businessman named Zhu Jian.
With his company, Teresa Teng slowly walked out of the blow of her first love. The two had a stable relationship, but on a flight to visit her, the plane crashed over Vietnam...
Hearing this bad news, Teresa Teng, who was waiting at the airport, burst into tears and cried for three days.
The third person who entered her emotional world was the Taiwanese young actor Qin Xianglin at that time. He took great care of Teresa Teng, and the two had a scandal.

, but he was fickle, and he went to the United States to chase Brigitte Lin again. In less than half a year, news of their engagement came out, which made Teresa Teng so angry that he quickly came out to clarify the scandal.
After being involved in the "passport storm" in Japan, she traveled across the ocean to Los Angeles for further studies. It happened that Jackie Chan was also shooting a movie in Hollywood at that time.
By chance, the two met each other. Since meeting the gentle and elegant Teresa Teng, Jackie Chan has been obsessed with it.
The depression of being alone in a foreign land, Jackie Chan's earnest care made her feel the warmth she had never felt before.
The two often eat and go out together, and their relationship quickly heats up. Under the moonlight, they spend a romantic time with each other.
However, after a long time in the world, the two people have many differences in their views. Teresa Teng is as quiet as a virgin, eager to be with her day and night, and the dragon moves like a rabbit, and she brings a group of brothers to chatter.
Once, Teresa Teng went to visit the set and waited for a few hours on the set. Jackie Chan was so busy that he forgot that there was a beautiful woman waiting for him, which made her proud and arrogant and left.
When he got home, he called and broke up: "Jackie, I don't think you need me, so you should be with your brothers."
At the same time, the reality gap between them also made him feel ashamed: "She is so good, I seem to be useless."
Later Jackie Chan wrote in his autobiography:
"She is gentle, beautiful, smart and humorous... To be honest, I can't deserve her, or at least I can't deserve her at that time. She is the embodiment of elegance."
In fact, the so-called inability to be worthy of being not enough is just an excuse for not loving enough.

1981, when preparing for the album " Light Love ", Teresa Teng met Guo Kongcheng.
This noble son is one of the most wealthy people in Southeast Asia. They are in love and can be regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman. The two also held an engagement ceremony at Shangri-La Hotel .
However, at this moment, the grandmother of the Guo family made three requirements for Teresa Teng:
1. Require Teresa Teng to fully disclose her personal resume in writing; 2. After marrying into the Guo family, she immediately withdrew from the entertainment industry and stopped singing; 3. The relationship with all friends in the entertainment industry must be cut off.
and three conditions are indispensable.
To be honest, music is Teresa Teng's second life. How could she give up just by saying that she would give up?
even if that person is her favorite, even if she is reluctant to let her be a canary from now on, for Teresa Teng, who has an independent personality, it is tantamount to a personal humiliation.
In the end, she decisively gave up her wealthy marriage and adhered to her dignity and pride.
Nowadays, women in the new era are increasingly independent, and they will not choose to imprison the soul who pursues freedom for the sake of those "false" fame and fortune.
Later, Guo Kongcheng married a girl who looked very similar to Teresa Teng.
It was only many years later that when others accidentally mentioned the queen, his tone was still very sad, and Teresa Teng also took 10 years to get out of that love.
The last relationship was the French photographer Paul , 15 years younger than her.
She once told her friend that the reason she chose to date the other party was because he didn't know she was a big star before, and she wanted to have an ordinary love.
However, the love that ordinary people have is a luxury for her, and has been rejected for many years.
After her death, Paul lived alone for three years, and she burst into tears when she heard Teresa Teng's song.
I have to say that there is a rare thing in life. Seeking benevolence does not necessarily mean benevolence, but more of it is a regret of not being able to seek it.

The well-known Teresa Teng never cared about so-called fame and fortune, did not put on a star air, treated others humbly and sincerely.
No matter what difficulties or unhappy things she encounters, she rarely complains, always smiling, like a fragrant flower filled with fragrance.
Every time I sing ", what do you say ", Teresa Teng's must-have is to tease male audiences. Whether it is a soldier or a middle-aged uncle, Miss Deng is never afraid.
Start with aggrievance and resentment, looking for a goal: "I haven't forgotten you, you forgot me, you even said the name wrong."
Then randomly select a lucky person here: "Prove that you are lying to me, see what you say today."
Next, launch a cute attack on this honest man, pointing his finger:
"You said you have come to see me for two days, and it will take more than a year to wait, 365 Life is not easy, you don’t have me in your heart, so give me my love back.” As soon as the interlude arrives, Miss Deng will gently inquire about the name and age.
Finally, Miss Deng shook her hair, rolled her eyes, and left him without looking back. She returned to the center of the stage, leaving only a graceful back.
agent Guan Weihua recalled:
"What's more interesting is that she is rare childish. She insisted on competing with Yao Housheng for who has eaten more dumplings. As a result, the two of them ended up eating 6 plates, which made everyone laugh."
However, since her debut, due to years of hard work and running, her health has deteriorated and she even suffered from severe kidney disease.
people are as glorious as they are in front of them, the vicissitudes behind them.
In the winter of 1994, Teresa Teng suffered from a severe cold and has not recovered since then, thus becoming asthma.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, she died young in Thailand due to asthma caused by acute heart disease at the age of 42.
On the day of the funeral, traffic in the entire Taipei was paralyzed, and 200,000 people lined up all night at the entrance of the funeral home to say their final goodbye to the queen of the song.
Although the beauty has only lived for 42 short years, it has influenced generations of fans, and time is favored by time and has become new.
Teresa Teng once said during his lifetime: My greatest wealth is one billion applause and eternal nostalgia.
Now it seems that although 24 years have passed quietly, one billion applause remains, and nostalgia never ends.
Hong Kong producer Zhang Wenxin commented: "The reason why Teresa Teng has been loved by so many people may be because her personality and voice are not aggressive and anyone can get close to it."
and good friend Brigitte Lin also sighed that in recent years, she often dreamed of Teresa Teng:
"She is the same as the reality, a mysterious woman. What's amazing is that in the dream, people in the world think she has gone to heaven, but I know she is still in the human world."
The beautiful elf has never flew away, and has always been in the hearts of each of us.
"If I hadn't met you, where would I be? How was my life like, should I cherish my life..."
