Dengtai Hotel Hong Kong

Teresa Teng is definitely my idol. . .

May 8th this year is the 5th anniversary of Teresa Teng's death/KLOC-0.

In the first few months of this day, people from all walks of life have already begun to prepare-some are preparing for the "Teresa Teng's Death 15 Anniversary Charity Concert", some are preparing to issue the "Teresa Teng's Death 15 Anniversary Stamp Album", and some are organizing the sea election of "Looking for Teresa Teng's descendants to commemorate Teresa Teng's big concert". ...

After 15 years, why does Teresa Teng still have such charm?

Perhaps it is because: "In that era of wild emotions, Teresa Teng shouldered the heavy responsibility of speaking for an era and comforted the hearts of countless people with his sweet singing."

Perhaps it is because: "No one has so many excellent works, so many die-hard fans, so many contemporaries and descendants as Teresa Teng."

Perhaps it is because: "In the 42-year life journey, her beautiful life of' loved ones, missing souls, once owned, is eternal' is so pitiful and nostalgic."

……

All this still seems difficult to answer a question: Why do people miss Teresa Teng so much?

Legendary life

Teresa Teng is known as the "Oriental Goddess" after a generation of songs, and her life is full of legends.

Teresa Teng1953 65438+/KLOC-0 was born in Yunlin County, Taiwan on October 29th, and his real name was Teresa Teng. Her father is a veteran, whose ancestral home is Handan, Hebei, and her mother's ancestral home is Dongping, Shandong. Teresa Teng has three older brothers and 65,438+0 younger brothers. Her parents have been living a hard life because of the large number of children.

Parents have long known that their daughter Teresa Teng has a good voice and is a piece of singing material. But in any case, they never imagined that their daughter, with this specialty, not only changed the economic situation of the whole family, but also became a superstar in the Chinese world.

/kloc-at the age of 0/3, Teresa Teng participated in the singing competition of Taiwan Golden Horse Award Record Company and won the championship with a song "Picking Red Dragons". The next year, she dropped out of middle school and joined the cosmic record. That year, she released her first record, Fengyang Flower Drum. From 65438 to 0968, Teresa Teng began to perform in some karaoke bars, participate in movies and host programs on TV stations. Under the arrangement of the company, Teresa Teng went out of Taiwan Province Province and visited Hongkong, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other places.

From 65438 to 0973, Teresa Teng went to the United States to study English, and the next year he went to Japan for development. Soon, she won many awards such as 1974 Japan's "Best Newcomer Singer Award" for her song "Airport". The total sales of records that received this song also reached 750,000.

1979, Teresa Teng won the Golden Bell Award "Best Female Singer Award". Two years later, her five albums won the Platinum Record Awards in Hong Kong at the same time, completely conquering the music scene in Hong Kong. From 65438 to 0983, 30-year-old Teresa Teng entered the peak of his acting career. 19831On February 9th and 20th, 983, she walked into Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, USA, the dream place of global pop singers, and became the first China singer to sing here. Many Chinese living in the United States still remember the grand occasion at that time-as early as the end of 65438+ year 10, concert tickets had been snapped up; "Caesar's Palace" originally had only 1 100 seats, but it was later increased to 1500 seats, but the walkways on both sides and the steps in the middle were still crowded with spectators. In the performance, Teresa Teng specially sang 12 poems, such as Fan Zhongyan's Blue Sky of Su Mu, Su Dongpo's When is the Mink Head Bright Moon, and Li Yu's Yu Meiren Spring Flower Autumn Moon, which fully appreciated the profound beauty of Chinese. Shortly thereafter, she set another record, becoming the first China female singer to take the stage at Lincoln Center in new york and Los Angeles Music Center. 1At the end of 983, 15, the "15 anniversary concert tour" from Teresa Teng was held in Hongkong. Its performance scale, audience and record sales all set new records in Chinese music. 1986, she was named "the seven most popular female singers in the world" and "the ten most popular female singers in the world" by Time magazine of the United States, becoming the only Asian singer who won two awards at the same time.

1987, Teresa Teng released the album "I only care about you". Since then, she has basically stopped participating in commercial activities and gradually entered a semi-retirement state.

But it was in this year that Teresa Teng's 225 Songs was first released in Beijing. At that time, Teresa Teng's songs were very popular in Chinese mainland. In addition, the authorities of Taiwan Province Province allowed the residents concerned to return to the mainland to visit their relatives, so Teresa Teng began to have the idea of performing in the mainland. She originally planned to hold a grand concert in Beijing with Dunhuang frescoes as the background and the images of four classical beauties in China. But later, due to various reasons, this plan failed to come true.

From 65438 to 0989, Teresa Teng moved to France, bought a house and real estate in France, and lived a nearly secluded life. In May of the following year, her father passed away. The bad news came that she fell ill with grief, so that she could not go back to Taiwan Province to attend the funeral.

1993, Teresa Teng returned to Taiwan Province province. In an interview, she said: "Although I am semi-retired in recent years, I love music, and I will never give up my work in music, so I will not sing for entertainment. I often walk into the recording studios in Britain, France and Japan to exercise my vocal foundation. My English teacher assigned me an' assignment', and I have to hang my voice at home at least four times a week. Usually pay attention to basic throat maintenance, don't smoke, and drink a little cocktail. For a while, I was a vegetarian, and now I want to eat some fish and chicken breast ... "

1On May 8, 995, a bad news spread all over the world-on that day, Teresa Teng, who was only 42 years old, died of asthma in Chiang Mai, Thailand. A superstar in the Chinese world, so far away.

Soul returns to Bao Dao.

1995 May 1 1 afternoon 10: 30, Thailand Airlines Flight 633 carrying Teresa Teng's body arrived at Taipei Taoyuan Airport.

For the "daughter of Baodao" who has returned to her native land, Taiwan Province Province has broken the convention. The airport kept everything simple and allowed Teresa Teng's family members, fans and Taiwan Province officials to meet her body on the tarmac. Subsequently, Teresa Teng's body was sent to the First Funeral Home in Taipei. A copper coffin with crystal glass can preserve the body for 50 years; Taiwan Province "Army Musical Instrument Team" served as a mourning hall and a funeral guard of honor; 200,000 people lined up outside the funeral home all night, waiting to say goodbye to Teresa Teng. On that day, the traffic in Taipei was paralyzed.

On May 28th, Teresa Teng's coffin was transported to Yunyuan, Jinbaoshan Cemetery, Jinshan Township, Taibei County, and buried with his father's body. Previously, the owner of Jinbaoshan Cemetery contacted the Deng family for the first time and "sold" a treasure trove of mountains, seas and feng shui in the garden to the Deng family at a symbolic price of NT$/kloc-0, as the final destination. According to her real name, this cemetery was named "Yunyuan".

A few days ago, a reporter from global person magazine made a special trip from downtown Taipei and drove for an hour to Jinbaoshan Cemetery. Following Teresa Teng's singing, I soon found the narrative garden.

Yuan Jun Garden is divided into two parts: the square and the cemetery. The square is bigger than the cemetery, with a piano buried on the ground and only a huge keyboard exposed. This is the work of a famous Japanese designer. As long as the tourists' feet step on the keyboard, the piano will make a wonderful sound. In the center of the square is a full-length statue of Teresa Teng. She smiled and spread out her hands, as if welcoming all the people who came for her. At the entrance of the cemetery, there is a circular pavilion, which is the sound and lighting control center of Yuan Jun. The computer in the pavilion stores the songs sung by Teresa Teng, which are played in cycles every day.

On Yunyuan's tombstone, Teresa Teng's head is engraved. The coffin behind the tombstone is polished with black marble. Behind the coffin is a stone carving. The upper part is a reclining image of Teresa Teng. Her color photo is inlaid on the right below, and the words "Teresa Teng, 1953- 1995" are written on the left. On the right side of the coffin is a huge stone with the word "Yuan Jun" inscribed by James Soong, the current chairman of the People First Party. On the left side of the coffin stands a stone tablet engraved with the same epitaph in many languages-"Here lies a superstar who has devoted his life to the art of singing".

Whenever I come to Yunyuan, people will see flowers presented by fans in front of the tombstone. Teresa Teng fans from all over the world are not far from Wan Li to pay their respects here, so there is a constant flow of people here all year round, and flowers never fade. In front of the stele of Yunyuan, there is a tree covered with Xiao Mu cards, and "Mupai" are all mourning words written by fans.

Goodbye again

"When will you come again?" Today, 0/5 years after Teresa Teng's death, more and more people use her songs to express their nostalgia.

Since 15, great changes have taken place in pop music, and the "wind vane" of Chinese pop songs has turned to countless directions. But Teresa Teng's songs are still sung over and over again. Na Ying, Cheng Lin, Chyi Chin, Faye Wong, Liming, Jay Chou, Jane Zhang ... Generation after generation of famous singers in the Chinese music scene all became popular because of their cover of Teresa Teng's songs, or reached the peak of their careers. In the beautiful melody that the moon represents my heart, I wish people a long life, sweet honey and I only care about you, and the younger generation has grown up.

In 2008, Teresa Teng's song "I wish people a long life" was launched with the Shenzhou VII manned spacecraft. In 2009, in the "New China's Most Influential Cultural Figures" selection activity, Teresa Teng ranked first with an absolute advantage of more than 8.5 million votes. 20 10 On the eve of International Women's Day on March 8th, she was selected as "the most influential woman in China" by many well-known media in China. Her ancestral home is Handan, Hebei Province, and a "20 10 Teresa Teng Hometown Tour" will be held. ...

In memory of Teresa Teng, several memorial halls have been built on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In the late 1990s, Teresa Teng's former residence in Stanley welcomed hundreds of thousands of tourists as soon as it opened, and even the floor was trampled to pieces. In 2003, the mainland set up a memorial site for Teresa Teng for the first time-her monument and memorial statue were completed in Shanghai, which she longed for before her death; In 2006, Luzhou, Taibei County, where Teresa Teng's former residence was located, began to build the "Teresa Teng Theme Park". ...

What you see makes people think more.

20 10 On April 22nd, the Teresa Teng Memorial Hall in Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province officially opened. Mayor of Kaohsiung City, legislator of Kuomintang, Secretary General of People First Party and other people from all walks of life in Taiwan Province Province attended. This is the first Teresa Teng Memorial Museum in the world.

On April 29th, a reporter from global person Magazine rushed to the Cultural Relics Museum early in the morning and found that there was a long queue of tourists.

The cultural relics museum has a total area of about 800 square meters and is divided into two buildings. The building in front shows the Mercedes-Benz used by Teresa Teng during his trip to France. A large number of newspapers, photos and audio-visual materials are stored in the briefing room next to her, which introduces the whole process of her birth, growth and singing career development. Teresa Teng's performance costumes, jewelry and collectibles, furniture and furnishings moved from the living room, dining room and bedroom, and a mahjong table that she gave to her mother are displayed in the back building. In the memorial hall, visitors can hum Teresa Teng's songs to the accompaniment music.

On the opening day of "Teresa Teng Memorial Cultural Relics Museum", Teresa Teng's eldest brother, Deng Changan, gave an emotional account of the reasons for its construction. "Since my sister died, people have been suggesting to build a pavilion to commemorate her, but it has never been built." In August 2009, Deng Changan and his third brother Deng Changfu transported Teresa Teng's relics to Kaohsiung and "piloted" a "Teresa Teng Cultural Relics Museum". As a result, tourists come to visit in an endless stream. Especially mainland tourists, there are nearly 20 groups and about 600 people every day. Many of them listed "Teresa Teng Museum of Cultural Relics" as "three places they must visit" during their stay in Taiwan Province, and the other two were Sun Moon Lake and Alishan. It is the enthusiasm of the fans that has strengthened Deng Changan's determination to apply for the official opening of the Cultural Relics Museum.

"See Teresa Teng, think she is still there, miss it very much! Her singing haunts me. " This is the same as the feeling of tourists wandering around the cultural relics museum.

Embodiment of "Oriental Charm"

In the 1970s, Teresa Teng's beautiful songs swept through China, Taiwan Province, Hongkong, Japan, Southeast Asia and other places like a whirlwind, and even blew to Chinese mainland. Her relaxed, lively and gentle China folk songs became the memory of that era.

The voice of nature from "practice"

"There are many stories in the town, full of joy and joy. If you come to a small town, you will gain a lot … "1997 It's a quiet morning. I was walking in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the songs from the loudspeakers on the street poles attracted me deeply. The song is soft and penetrating, floating in the morning smoke. The scene and songs of that day were integrated, just like a scene MV (Music Television).

Her voice has a special temperament, which is a voice that conveys that you are still willing to stop on the street for this after several years. ...

This is the memory of Teresa Teng expressed by a post-80s fan in his blog recently.

In fact, although Teresa Teng showed excellent musical talent since he was a child, he was not perfect. She used to have a low voice, soft and thin. This congenital factor is not easy to change. To this end, her music teacher Yao Housheng gave her detailed guidance from the beginning, from vocal methods to singing habits. Mr Yao was a famous music producer in Taiwan Province province at that time, and he was the first person in Taiwan Province province to advocate and introduce the theoretical system of western music education.

At that time, Teresa Teng always sang some fast-paced songs, so her sweet singing always gave people a taste of "cute little girl". In addition, in order to imitate the pronunciation of local minor, Teresa Teng tried his best to raise the ending, and formed the habit of raising the ending. This kind of singing sounds playful, but it seems a bit childish. In this regard, Yao Housheng instructed her to learn slow-paced singing and told her: "You are no longer a little girl, you should sing in a more emotional and adult way."

In this way, Teresa Teng's singing of local minor began to change greatly under the training of Yao Housheng. But the defect of low sound still exists. Yao Housheng tried his best to get Teresa Teng to practice singing in the center of the microphone (the old microphone was a big disc), so that her clear timbre could be brought into full play and her voice could be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Zuo Hongyuan, a famous old musician in Taiwan Province, likes Teresa Teng very much and once taught her to sing. At that time, Teresa Teng was very young and had never had a boyfriend. She wore a short skirt and looked like a ballet dancer. She was very cute. Zuo Hongyuan taught her to sing Cai Yunfei. She asked, "What is Cai Yunfei?" "What do you mean, I won't leave you?" Zuo Hongyuan told her: "if you don't leave you, you like a boy and tell him not to leave you." It's that simple. " Zuo Hongyuan told her for a long time, and I don't know if she understood it, but the song she sang at last touched many people. Teresa Teng was very mature when she sang the theme song "Hai Yun" of the same name. Hai Yun, adapted from Xu Zhimo's dialogue lyrics, is a difficult song. But Teresa Teng sang with such deep feeling and showed rich imagination. Zuo Hongyuan said with deep feelings: "I'm afraid no one in Asia has surpassed her timbre, skills and breathing control until now (referring to the 1980s) ... Her singing can make the audience sing along, which is deeply rooted in people's hearts and makes people feel that * * * is related, which is very simple."

Many people may not know how many hardships and tribulations Teresa Teng experienced behind the "golden voice". In order to sing a good song, she insists on hanging her voice every day, even when she has a cold and a high fever. He Lili, her good friend, said that Teresa Teng practiced her songs very hard because her vocal range was not wide enough, and even her throat was bleeding.

1984, Teresa Teng, who has become famous all over the world, made a special trip to Britain to learn luck, vocalization and vocalization from vocal music teachers. Afterwards, she said, "I need to stop after each stage, solve some existing problems, and tap the untapped potential." During her stay in England, she worked hard and practiced for six or seven hours every day. "My teacher told me to hang my throat for 30 minutes after getting up every day. I didn't turn on the stereo in the morning and practiced until the highest point. The sound is terrible. " Once, when she finished hanging up the phone and the hotel waiter brought her tea, she wrote a line on the coaster: "We British hate people who yell in the morning!" " "Teresa Teng at that time in distress situation.

"See smoke rising, dusk shines on the earth. Want to ask cigarettes, where are you going? " Around Teresa Teng's melodious voice, there will never be a lack of fans' yearning for her. Fan Jun, a vocal music researcher (referring to Teresa Teng's fans), said: "Teresa Teng's voice has the characteristics of China women, full of the charm of oriental women, gentle and firm, beautiful and kind ... Her voice is very distinctive, and she can hardly recognize any breathing place, and she can sing continuous high notes without nasal sounds. Her Chinese pronunciation is also very clear, and her timbre is thin and soft, which is fascinating."

Some time ago, at a "Fan Jun Forum" in Japan, people compared several China female singers who are currently developing in Japan with Teresa Teng. A senior Japanese "Fan Jun" pointed out sharply: "Miss Teresa Teng's voice is moist and refreshing, which is different from the relatively simple dry, sharp or straightforward voice of many singers."

National Style Deduces China's Emotion

Professor Yang Yanxing of Tianjin Conservatory of Music told global person magazine that the songs performed by Teresa Teng were widely circulated at that time because they had one common feature: they were all popular songs with national style. This is in line with the aesthetic habits of China people. Teresa Teng's singing style is not only different from the singers in old Shanghai, but also different from other singers in Taiwan Province at that time. But he just interpreted these songs into the most "Chinese style" works.

This proper balance is related to Teresa Teng's childhood education. When he was a child, Teresa Teng often listened to his father hum Peking Opera. Father often sings a few words in an orderly way, and Teresa Teng happily imitates them from time to time. My mother likes drama, too. She often listens to local operas in Huangmei tune and occasionally hums some minor tunes. Besides, she also likes watching operas and movies very much. Teresa Teng has benefited a lot from it.

1967, Teresa Teng's debut album "Fengyang Flower Drum" was released, following the style of folk minor. Since then, Teresa Teng has attracted much attention for singing folk songs. This 14-year-old girl's sweet singing and pure and simple feelings attracted a large audience and left a deep impression on people.

Since then, "Chinese Style, National Style" songs have been the focus of Teresa Teng's singing career. Many of her songs have become classics, such as The Story of a Small Town. With the continuous improvement of understanding, Teresa Teng began to add more "China elements" to his music.

Light Love, released by 1983, is regarded by many as the best record in Teresa Teng's singing career, and it is also a clever combination of China's classical literature and modern music. According to Xie, a Hong Kong entrepreneur who put forward the idea of "Shallow Love" album at that time, "I met at the banquet. I told her the idea that had been brewing for a long time, and the reaction was quite fierce ... At that time, our views were very close, that is, how to express classical poems that have been circulating in China for thousands of years with modern music, how to arouse the audience's * * and how to preserve the China culture that has been gradually forgotten ... "In order to make this album well, Teresa Teng found the most avant-garde and authoritative composers in Chinese mainland and Hongkong at that time, and the album contained 12 songs. They are all based on China's ancient poems. After that, people heard such a "historical classic" as "wish others a long time", which is still enduring today.

Professor Yang Yanxing told the reporter that Teresa Teng was able to create a work that combines tradition and popularity, because she worked hard in the pop music scene for many years and knew China's lyrics and classical culture well. Teresa Teng's singing made Chinese people around the world feel the long-standing tenderness of the Chinese nation, and made the world understand that it is not necessary to stick to the rules of art songs to reproduce the essence of traditional art.

After this album, Teresa Teng's main energy was concentrated on the company's concerts, while less and less creative works were combined with the traditional elements of China. Later, Teresa Teng also wanted to finish the sequel of "Light Love". It took her five years to write ancient poems and songs, but due to the changes of music environment and personal mood, as well as physical reasons, she finally failed to realize her wish. This unfinished sequel has also become a permanent regret in the hearts of fans.

"Sadly, after that, no one in Chinese music has enough ability and height to create such works. This may be the reason why people miss Teresa Teng today. " Professor Yang Yanxing said.

The girl next door is singing.

In 1990s, the VCD (Audio-visual Disc) of Teresa Teng concert "10 billion applause" was popular in Chinese mainland. In the eyes of mainlanders at that time, Teresa Teng on the stage was the representative of temperament, grace and foreign flavor. In fact, Teresa Teng's appearance is not very "foreign", but has a "nostalgic" China characteristic. She smiles sweetly, and her gestures are the elegance and gentleness of China classical women. Her stage image, together with her singing, remained in people's hearts.

As early as 1976, Teresa Teng, who has a large number of fans, changed his previous performance form and focused on his solo concert. In the next two years, she kept giving concerts in Hong Kong, Japan and other places.

1978, Teresa Teng held a solo concert in Yakult Hall in Tokyo. Tickets were sold out many days before the concert began. On the day of the concert, countless Japanese and fans from other countries gathered in the hall of the concert hall early. In the stage lighting room, Teresa Teng appeared in a pink performance dress. She walked lightly, her eyes were bright, and thunderous applause and crazy cheers broke out before she spoke. ...

Teresa Teng's concert is so popular, mainly because of her perfect stage performance. Li Wan, a famous music critic, told global person magazine that Teresa Teng's concert gave people a feeling of "keeping things quiet" and revealed the warm atmosphere of the girl next door. On the stage, she always maintained good communication and interaction with the audience, and the concert seemed to be a family gathering. She sings in front of fans, and it feels like a party with friends and family. The people who came to the concert are also old fans of Teresa Teng, and they know her music and herself very well. Unlike some singers who try their best to conquer the audience at the concert, Teresa Teng's concert style is a kind of communication with the audience, and the scene is like the communication with the audience "two of a kind". Although dressed sweetly, her "aura" is very strong, confident, natural and unhurried.

However, Teresa Teng was also active on the stage. She sometimes uses some tricks, such as pulling the microphone away and then yanking it back when she is excited, or throwing the microphone directly from her right hand to her left hand to do some handsome moves. Interestingly, Teresa Teng sometimes misses. At a concert in Indonesia, Teresa Teng used the technique of "swinging the microphone", but he was so excited that the microphone fell to the ground. At that time, dry ice blasting was particularly popular in stage design, so Teresa Teng had to bend down to look for a microphone in the dry ice fog. The audience thought it was an episode arranged by Teresa Teng, and they kept clapping excitedly.

Teresa Teng's stage charm lies not only in her looks and singing, but also in her clear pronunciation and mellow voice. Li Wan, a music critic, said: "Even though I didn't listen to Teresa Teng's songs on purpose, when I mentioned Teresa Teng, it was still her songs that stayed in my mind because her pronunciation was quite clear."

Teresa Teng is very busy all over the world, so he can only find time to learn languages in busy performances. However, it is in this environment and condition that Teresa Teng has mastered many foreign languages and Chinese dialects. Her songs and albums cover Japanese, English, Indonesian, Cantonese, Minnan, Shandong and Shanghai in China. Not only that, she also sang many local folk songs, local operas and musicals.

A Japanese music critic once commented: "It's hard to find an Asian superstar like Teresa Teng after her death. Because Teresa Teng has spent a lot of time learning Cantonese, Japanese and English in order to enter the market and gain recognition from local audiences, but now no singer has worked so hard. "

Perhaps it is the twists and turns that I have experienced. The most touching thing in Teresa Teng's songs is a little sadness in his songs, which directly touches people's hearts. The famous musician David Henry Hwang once commented: "Teresa Teng's songs can soothe people's hearts. Sometimes, when I am abroad and tired from work, I am very eager to hear Teresa Teng's songs. Her songs have something that can soothe our emotions, an indescribable taste of China ... "

Rock and roll also saluted her.

It is not only Teresa Teng's singing that is popular all over the world, but also all the topics and imaginations related to her.

Li Wan once recalled his feelings when he first listened to Teresa Teng's songs: "It was a terrible feeling to see Teresa Teng for the first time. At that time, Taiwan Province Province was an enemy-occupied area, and the radio station in Taiwan Province Province was an enemy station. It is a crime to eavesdrop on the enemy's radio station. Even when I happened to meet you when I tuned in, I felt a strong sense of guilt, and the voice suddenly became huge in my feeling, just like thunder ... "In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the channels for obtaining Teresa Teng's songs were still extremely scarce. Most of the time, people just happen to hear a few Teresa Teng songs on the street corner. This music comes from those "idle" young people-they are wearing bell-bottoms and shiny shoes, and their motorcycles are equipped with "Sanyo" dual-card recorders. Teresa Teng's songs floated from the tape recorder, and passers-by who could occasionally hear a few words clearly blushed and felt "embarrassed".

However, it is this song that makes people feel "ashamed to say it", but it has inspired Chinese mainland's pop music and aroused complex repercussions among the public. "This is a mixture of shock and disgust. At that time, most people couldn't accept Teresa Teng and felt a little' rogue', while those who accepted and sang this music were considered hooligans. " Li Wan told global person magazine that although there was a lot of controversy, it was Teresa Teng's songs that made the people who had just walked out of the "Cultural Revolution" slowly find their feelings that had been ignored for many years. People are beginning to realize that people can be husbands, wives, children, lovers and other roles besides the attributes of "national citizens". People's original emotions, individuality, diversity and a series of forgotten elements also began to awaken in Teresa Teng's singing.

Simple, cordial, energetic, optimistic, fashionable and noble, Teresa Teng's image in the public mind tends to be perfect. Sweet singing and perfect public image make Teresa Teng an idol of many mainland youths. In many young people's notebooks, nightstands and wallets, photos of Teresa Teng began to appear, and her tapes became blurred because of repeated records. After many years, there are still many people born in the 1960s and 1970s who admit that Teresa Teng, who stayed in their hearts, is no longer a singer, and that time was not just a time accompanied by singing. For them, "Teresa Teng" is a lingering complex, and some people even take Teresa Teng as the criterion for choosing a spouse or name their daughter after her.

In the late 1980s, Teresa Teng's tapes were officially introduced to the mainland. From then on, people really re-examined Teresa Teng from the perspective of music. There has always been a view in mainland music circles that China's pop music is totally imported, but Teresa Teng's music is a disproof. In the form of popularization, Teresa Teng inherited too many traditional and classical elements from China. She can't restore classicism, but she skillfully interprets the essence of classicism. Decades have passed, and China pop music has grown from scratch to excellence. In this process, Teresa Teng has always been unique and insurmountable. However, her unique "soft power" began to be passed down. It can be said that Li Guyi's "Hometown Love" and Su Xiaoming's "Night in a Port" all come from this style. Musicians of different styles and times can find the shadow of * * in Teresa Teng's songs, and even a number of mainland rock bands and artists such as Tang Dynasty, Panther and Zheng Jun have acknowledged the influence of Teresa Teng on them. When Teresa Teng died, mainland musicians paid tribute to her with the album Farewell to Rock. In this album, almost all the most popular rock stars in Chinese mainland at that time covered her songs again to pay tribute to the enlightener.

Perfection under the stage

In the eyes of family, neighbors and friends, there is not much difference between Teresa Teng on and off the stage. Modest and filial, enterprising, compassionate and grateful, not worshipping powerful people ... This is Teresa Teng in people's eyes. Many analysts believe that these characteristics of her are in sharp contrast with all kinds of right and wrong in today's entertainment circle-she is still remembered after 15 years.

Filial piety daughter

When Teresa Teng was a child, his family of seven lived in poverty. At the age of six, Teresa Teng, who was already "very talented and charming", began to sing in the street accompanied by her mother to earn some food money for her family. At the age of 9, he began to follow his father's former comrades-in-arms and perform all over Taiwan Province Province. Although each performance can only earn a meager income of 5 yuan NT 10 yuan, it is a "considerable" income for the poor Deng family.

By chance, the boss of a karaoke bar in Taipei heard Teresa Teng's singing and thought it was very nice. I hope she can make a guest appearance in the karaoke bar in her spare time. At that time, Teresa Teng's parents were very opposed and worried that she would be bullied. However, Teresa Teng persuaded his parents. Soon, because of her outstanding performance, she became the "queen of doll songs" in karaoke bars and became more and more famous. Even some karaoke bars in the southern province of Taiwan Province invited her to perform.

Due to frequent performances, Teresa Teng's normal school hours became less and less, and his grades plummeted. 1967, the leader of Jinling Girls' Middle School, where she attended, gave her an "ultimatum" to choose between giving up singing and focusing on her studies or dropping out of school. Teresa Teng decided to drop out of school out of consideration of taking care of his family and his love of singing. According to her teacher's memory, some nightclubs are willing to sign a contract with Teresa Teng and invite her to be a full-time singer, but campus life also makes it difficult for Teresa Teng to give up. In the end, family factors were put in the first place by her. The teacher recalled, "I asked her parents what they thought. What's her own plan? She said that because of family financial factors, she needed that job. If she dropped out of school, she could sing with peace of mind. Obviously, she sacrificed herself to improve her poor family. This child has really been working hard! "
