Tell me about Teresa Teng. What's her life like?

Ma Jiahui: Today, we are going to introduce this book with some sad feelings. It is beautiful and sad. What book is it? This book is about Teresa Teng.

It's a book written by Taiwan Province, and it's called "The Unique Sound: Teresa Teng Forever". This book, of course, is about Teresa Teng. We know that Teresa Teng is a very familiar and favorite singer among Chinese and even Japanese people all over the world. Counting her death in 1995, 213 has been 18 years. If we count from the year when Teresa Teng was born, if she had not died in Thailand in 1995, she would have been just 6 years old in 213. So in 213, Teresa Teng had a cultural and educational foundation established by her family, so she invited a writer, interviewed different people and saw a lot of materials to write this book. In addition to the contents of the text, this book reveals a lot of stories about Teresa Teng from childhood to adulthood to fame, and there are many precious photos, including photos of Teresa Teng and her mother, photos of her singing in Taiwan Province and all over the world, as well as photos of her former residence in Hong Kong, of course, Teresa Teng's former residence, her room and her photos in Taiwan Province cemetery. If you don't have a chance to go to Taiwan Province, read this book, you can see this cemetery and admire it.

Speaking of Teresa Teng, a singer idol, we can also understand her from the perspective of cultural studies, from her debut to her fame. For example, from the first angle, we can see how they made stars in Taiwan Province when the real cultural industry took off at that time. Of course, Teresa Teng seemed to start listening to the radio, learning music and singing at the age of three or four, and then she started to go on stage for the first time at the age of six. After that, she stopped studying and developed in the field of singing, but she was very capable and good at singing, which was the same thing as the whole cultural industry in Taiwan Province at that time. You saw that there was a first-generation Taiwan Province agent who would teach Teresa Teng how to build her own image, how to communicate with the audience and listeners. On the one hand, she had her fan club, on the other hand, she kept her distance. Stars always had a sense of mystery, and then how to interact with the media, including some so-called scandals and even scandals, because once she was told that she used a fake Indonesian passport, but she said it was not fake, not bought indiscriminately, but the Indonesian government.

We saw that era. We talked about how the whole cultural industry rose in Taiwan Province in the 196s and 197s, and how it worked. In fact, it was very valuable historical materials, not only related to Teresa Teng, because it also talked about other stars, including Brigitte Lin, and many others, including the Qin and Han Dynasties. Of course, there was a love story about her later, and she was almost married to Zhong Zhentao and even Jackie Chan. I made an engagement with a gentleman, but under the influence of social pressure and family, the other party broke off the engagement because the other party was a rich family. Many stories in it revealed Teresa Teng's personal experience and let us see the situation in Taiwan Province at that time. Of course, I also saw another angle, and saw how Teresa Teng influenced the cross-strait relations through her beautiful singing. Because we all know that there was such a saying in the mainland at that time, as if it were in the 197s. Because of the reform and opening up at that time, it was said that everyone listened to Lao Deng during the day and Xiao Deng at night, and even listened secretly, and at that time, they listened to pirated tapes. Faye Wong also said that she learned to sing by listening to the pirated "Teresa Teng". In fact, Teresa Teng's song implies that the two sides of the strait are moving towards reform and opening up together, which is a state of slow interaction at first, and it is also a story with a warm feeling when it comes to mind.

Of course, when we look at Teresa Teng's face, we have another observation angle, round and plump. Think about it, if a singer or star has such a face, can she still be a singer or star? I doubt it. Unless she goes first and is forced to hit Botox to slim down her face. Therefore, this also reflects the aesthetics of the times at that time. We saw that what was called beauty at that time was actually round and plump like Teresa Teng. At that time, people felt that the atmosphere was very atmospheric and blessed, and they felt this way. However, this part has passed, and it is no good. If you have such a face, you may even apply for a job in a TV station and start singing right away, and people have already eliminated you.

So we can see the relationship between a singer and the times and the changes of the times. There are many photos in this book, and I am very impulsive, psychologically impulsive and mentally impulsive. Because Teresa Teng is my favorite singer. There is also a preface written by someone in it, which is the biggest, biggest and largest beauty in my heart. Brigitte Lin wrote a preface, and Brigitte Lin wrote that a long time ago, she had dinner with two beautiful women in Teresa Teng, which was very fun. She said that even the waiters in the Paris restaurant were boys, of course, and they were so beautiful that they dropped their knives and forks on the ground. Teresa Teng also said, Qingxia, look, they look at us, and we are so beautiful that they are in a hurry.

I think as a beautiful woman, how to settle her position in this era, and how to make her a land and a world, which is very precious, is not only a historical record of Teresa Teng, but also the whole era and the Chinese era. Of course, if you are in a gossip mood, it will look even better. There are many short stories in it.
