Teresa Teng： There is a superstar on the stage and a bad karma person off the stage.

In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, until the 21st century, those who like listening to music or those who don’t like listening to music in the Chinese world have never heard of Teresa Teng’s name. She is really a superstar among superstars. There is no denying that Teresa Teng herself is really a good girl. She is kind, gentle, quiet and quiet. She will not tell others if she is wronged, behave herself and sing seriously. I have some contacts with her because I have a little fate with her. She is a very low-key and quiet person, however, her performance on stage and off stage is completely different.

I became attached to her in the 1980s. At that time, the World Community Chest celebrated its centenary. They wanted to hold a centenary celebration and asked me to be the artistic director. We found Teresa Teng. At that time, she had already retired from the stage, and she didn’t do much public performances. Most of the time, she lived in France or Japan. Because she is too famous, she dare not associate with Chinese, because everyone is staring at her from east to west. Every time she comes to new york, she will come to me unless she has other business; And when I go to Hong Kong, as long as she is here, I will go to find her. At that time, she was really popular in Japan. Once she told me that she was too tired and hoped to be a recording artist in the future, which meant that she would reduce her performance on the stage. Therefore, the first Chinese I arranged for her to perform in new york Radio City was the last battle of her life. I signed the Radio City performance contract in Hongkong and Teresa Teng, which was witnessed by 100 or 200 media on that day. It’s a pity that the contract was signed, the Chinese and Western Hundred People’s Orchestra was invited, the venue of Radio City was booked, and the deposit was paid. Finally, she left, and the audience’s eyes, her wishes and the efforts of our organizers were all wasted. What a pity!

The author and Teresa Teng are in Hongkong.

Teresa Teng is a good boy and a native of bad karma. When I was very young, before I was eleven or twelve, I came out to sing because of my family environment. At that time, the training was not so good, and her singing was not very moist. When she grew up, she became more mature and better. She became popular and began to be used. Some men stared at her, and she silently endured it because she didn’t need it at all. She is not a vain person. She will be happy if she eats a bowl of sparerib noodles and a small steamed bun, as long as the object at the same table is good. I remember one time she invited us to eat seafood in Aberdeen. We had a good time carefree, but she ate very simply. On the boat, she ate some porridge. Besides, she eats whatever we order, which is very picky.

Now it sounds like a fable, but people who like her might as well think about it. Did Teresa Teng live a hard life before his death? She has never bought herself a brand-name bag, and she also wears brand-name clothes, but they are all sponsored by manufacturers. Unless it’s a design she particularly likes, she won’t pursue famous brands herself. Besides, with Xiao Deng’s posture and status in those days, which famous brand can surpass her fame? She doesn’t need these. The clothes on the stage are all designed by herself or by someone. Besides, China didn’t "let some people get rich first", and Armani, Gucci, Prada and Chanel were not very popular at that time. The clothes she wears are based on the principle of good-looking, comfortable and practical. In fact, everything she wears looks good.

Teresa Teng is very strange. In the audience, she is not tall and small, but on the stage, as soon as she puts on high heels and dresses, she becomes a superstar and an unattainable person.

Teresa Teng’s only embarrassing incident happened in 1978. At that time, it was too inconvenient for her to walk around the world because of her Taiwan Province passport. She accidentally listened to a bad opinion and got a fake Indonesian passport. Her fake passport was transferred from Hong Kong, China to Taiwan Province to fly to Japan. I didn’t want to take it out. Just as Taiwan Province’s passport expired, I wanted to pass the customs for the time being, but I was found to have used a fake Indonesian passport, so I was locked up in Japan for seven days, but it was not a prison, just a women’s detention center. During her detention, she sang "A Thousand Words" for other people. After being released, she flew to France with the passport of Bellis in Central and South America, and began to live in France and Japan alternately.

At that time, Taiwan Province was not good enough for her, and the public opinion was not very good. During those days, Teresa Teng’s name basically went down slowly in Taiwan Province. Who knew that all of a sudden Xiao Deng became very popular in the mainland of the motherland, and every household was full of stories in a small town and sweet honey every night, which was not good? Taiwan Province’s military and political dignitaries and various media sent Teresa Teng back to the shrine. Alas! People, people! That’s it. Immortals, tigers, dogs. Xiao Deng was really dripping in my heart at that time, life!

In the 1980s, Teresa Teng and Longzhang Zhou were in Hongkong.

Teresa Teng can’t be talked about without mentioning Angela Mak (Angela Mak). Year after year, I saw them together for twelve years. Angela Mak herself is not ugly, but she looks like a rough Filipino man, not a girl at all. Mai is a strong woman, very kind to Deng and very protective of her. When I went to Hong Kong, whether I went to Aberdeen to eat seafood porridge or a five-star Four Seasons restaurant, Angela took care of everything, including paying for it, as long as Deng treated me. Mai is also a very influential person, a talented woman with artistic accomplishment, and a deep and low-key person. She is the director of Shaw Company’s conjoined film, in which Chen Yulian is the main character.

Teresa Teng and Angela Mak have a big house in Stanley, and they have lived there for twelve years. I don’t have much fate with Mai, because every time I meet Deng, I always mess around with her, and Mai is always unhappy around. On one occasion, Teresa Teng and we chatted happily at the dinner table and laughed. Mai took chopsticks and ordered a little at her.

Hong Kong media reported that Teresa Teng and Longzhang Zhou were in new york.

Teresa Teng also had several boyfriends, which probably made her frustrated and disappointed. The only engagement was in 1981, when she was engaged to Guo Kongcheng, the son of Guo Henian, the boss of Shangri-La Group. The giants in Hong Kong are very annoying, self-righteous and have many rules. Later, because Guo’s grandmother asked her to quit the entertainment industry, she also asked her to cut off contacts with friends in the circle, which made her unable to bear the pressure and broke off her marriage. Taiwan Province authorities, because Teresa Teng is madly in love with China, treat Xiao Deng with special courtesy. Basically, Xiao Deng loves Taiwan Province, but he is disappointed with Taiwan Province to some extent. Another point is that Teresa Teng doesn’t like the illusory and intrigued style of Taiwan Province or Hongkong film circles, and then uses concealed weapons to hurt people and climb up by hook or by crook. This made her feel bored and ridiculous. Therefore, after 1990, Deng basically settled in France, and flew to Japan every three or two months to record a CD, until she was ready to give a formal performance in new york Radio City, but she died in Thailand the next year.

As popular as Teresa Teng, millions of people adore her, love her and listen to her songs. And the result? As a result, she was in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and in a hotel, she was called the weather, and there was nowhere to go, and she died alone. Is this a big joke for life?

There are some terrible things. If a person dies, we should have basic respect and attention to him. However, Teresa Teng passed away in Chiang Mai, and the reporter knew that she had already left. Every reporter who arrived at the scene could go to the mortuary and lift the white cloth on Teresa Teng’s head to take pictures as long as he paid five dollars. How terrible and unfair is this to Teresa Teng? Is really a girl in bad karma, just in her early forties, so she died.

As for some people or the media who package a Paul who is 15 or 16 years younger than her as her boyfriend, or all kinds of stars, big and small, scramble to say that I chased Teresa Teng, or a big brother and big star boasted that Teresa Teng chased him, and so on, this is really a great insult to the dead. Before her death, she was a quiet, compromising person. After her death, she will be consumed by others and manipulated into various images that are actually not her. What can I do?

After Teresa Teng’s death, Angela Mak was removed from the world, and the whole person disappeared from the world. Mai returned the house where they lived to the Deng family. That villa was very valuable. She didn’t want anything and disappeared. I believe she must be somewhere in the world now, still thinking of Teresa Teng.

I miss Teresa Teng, too. I remember one time in Hongkong, I went into a nightclub with her and Tayu Lo, and there was a Filipino band performing on the stage. They all know Teresa Teng, and their eyes went straight at the sight of her. After a while, except for the drummer who couldn’t get up, three singers and piano players all stepped down from the stage and came to our table to sing "The Moon Represents My Heart". They asked Teresa Teng to sing again. When she was happy that day, she sang one line, then asked Tayu Lo to sing one line, and I sang another line. The three of us took turns singing. All of a sudden, all this has passed, and success or failure has turned to nothing! I love Xiao Deng, and I love Teresa Teng. That’s all right, there’s an angel beside God!
