What kind of person is Teresa Teng?

1996, the film "Sweet Honey" was released. Writer Ivy Ho's original script was called Big City and Little Love, but director Chen Kexin was too literary and changed the title. Many people can't forget Maggie Cheung sitting in the back seat of Dawn's bicycle, swinging his feet and humming the classic picture of Sweet Honey.

Not only that, Maggie Cheung sat in the car, bid farewell to the dawn, the music sounded, or Teresa Teng's song:

Wadda'tu Hubbak

Goodbye, my love.

Wadda'tu Hubbak

I don't know when I can see you.

Goodbye, My Love is a confession made by many fans to Teresa Teng.

There is a similar borrowing in Crossing the Ocean. At the seaside of Cannes, Chow Yun Fat wore sunglasses and shouted at the sky, "Xia Qing! Lijun! " When Leslie Cheung asked why, Brother Fage teased and said, "I want to see if Brigitte Lin Teresa Teng is here. Didn't you read the newspaper? They really like swimming naked in Cannes. "

The film Platform directed by Jia tells the story of a young man in a small town's bell-bottoms and meeting in short waves while eavesdropping on the enemy station. Shunji Iwai filmed swallowtail butterflies to reproduce the tune of Nanhai girl.

If movies are the yardstick to record the times, in Asia, Teresa Teng's yardstick is eternal.

With sweet smile, bright temperament and elegant voice, Teresa Teng on the stage shines brightly. Accordingly, those physical pains, mysterious political situation, and even incidental events involved in the cause of death also constitute the dark side of Teresa Teng, adding a sense of sadness.

Time goes by, Teresa Teng has been dead for 20 years.

Years blur the memory, and growth always stumbles by. Teresa Teng first sang "Seeing Smoke from Cooking Kitchen" and "Wishing People Longevity", but it seemed insignificant for a long time. The reappearance of "On the Water Side", "Cordate telosma" and "When will you come again" has also become various materials in the music library. As for the Indonesian original songs and Japanese versions of Sweet Honey and I only care about you, few people have studied them in depth.

At a time when everything is changing rapidly and everything is growing, ancient love songs are really hard to be called advanced. However, during the nearly 30 years when Teresa Teng was active, the Chinese pop music scene, whether it was Hong Kong, Taiwan, Hong Kong or even the mainland, always had only one alternative choice: Teresa Teng style and non-Teresa Teng style.

There are Johnny, Steven Liu, Paula Tsui and Han Baoyi, but it's all Teresa Teng's time.

It may be hard for you to imagine that 1963, 10-year-old Teresa Teng won the first prize in the Huangmeidiao singing competition of China Radio Station. A year later, her figure appeared on the stage of the Mandarin reading contest. Even in 1967, the first album was released with the title "Song of Teresa Teng-Fengyang Flower Drum". After another hot and cold summer, Teresa Teng began to release two films every three months on average.

Singers are in short supply, but it has become a common practice that demand exceeds supply. Teresa Teng stepped on the sail downstream.

Many events, now, are quite absurd. 1970, Baihua Oil Company and the Overseas Chinese in Hong Kong selected Teresa Teng as the "charity queen". The following year, Teresa Teng began a one-and-a-half-year tour of Southeast Asia. 1Feb. 972, Teresa Teng was twice elected as the "Queen of White Flower Oil Sales" in the Hong Kong Industrial Exhibition. After opening the Japanese music scene and releasing the Japanese single "No matter Tonight or Tomorrow", Teresa Teng's trip to Kinmen began gradually.

In the early 1980s, Teresa Teng was invited by Lincoln Center in new york, USA, and became the first China singer to make a sound. Hung Hom and Lee's concerts on the stage also set records again and again.

At this end of the Strait, faced with the erosion of "decadent sound", the editorial department of People's Music published a collection of literary theories "How to Identify Huang Ge" at 1982.

From the article, we can see the profound meaning. Guide the situation-on the penetration of popular vulgar songs in Hong Kong and Macao, and from the perspective of measuring the voice of decadence. There are two questions about Teresa Teng's When Will You Come Again.

The conclusion in the book includes "the development from pop music to rock music has actually become an incurable disease in capitalist society." "Such vulgar songs ... for some young men and women in our country, they are really spokesmen of erotic temptation and agents of mental paralysis." There is no doubt that Teresa Teng's music is also among the "Huang Ge".

Although the orthodox historical materials are serious and carefully distinguish the situation behind them, they can infer the real situation at that time. Perhaps the starting point of identification is the prevalence of "Huang Ge".

For people who have been mentally poor for too long, the good news of Teresa Teng has sneaked into the wind and moistened things silently. In the sweet honey, there is a silly gentleness. "I only care about you" is a lifelong friendship.

Even the minor sketches such as Wine and Coffee and Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside are free and easy with charming words, such as "Knowing that love is like running water, no matter who you love, I want wine and coffee one after another" or "Remember my love and remember that I am waiting every day".

Sometimes young people with aphasia listen to Teresa Teng, and when they sing, it suddenly becomes their own voice.

Of course, Teresa Teng also sings sadness.

"When will you come again" asks "When will you come again after you leave tonight", "A thousand words" means introspection, "I don't know why, but I'm worried. I pray every day to get rid of the loneliness of love. " In the story of a small town full of joy and joy, it is inevitable that "I can't forget, I can't forget, I can't forget your mistakes, I can't forget your goodness".

Teresa Teng's songs are never dull, but they are sweet and greasy. And a large number of love song motifs, through her interpretation, moisten the dry heart with faint joy and flying sadness. Her version, whether it is a cover of the original song, a trickle of pop music, a cover or an adaptation, is endless. Therefore, the connection between the past and the future has become a symbol of crossing the times.

Unfortunately, the graceful past can't resist the noise of fate. After 1987, Teresa Teng suffered from asthma and kidney disease, and gradually faded out of public view, focusing only on public performances. 1990 65438+In February, shortly after she was discharged from the hospital, she participated in the 42nd Japanese pop music festival, the Battle of the Red and White Songs.

Five years later, Teresa Teng died in Chiang Mai, Thailand, due to asthma attacks, delayed treatment due to traffic jams and excessive use of bronchodilators. Not only is it a grand burial ceremony, but in 200 1 year, asteroid 42295 was named "Teresa Teng", which is the English name of Teresa Teng.

Cui Jian said that the value of Teresa Teng lies in that pop songs began to come from non-political and non-traditional free creation. Jonathan Lee commented that many people in the entertainment circle are "miracles", but only Teresa Teng can become a "legend".

In fact, Teresa Teng's best theory is in his own songs. 1983, she released "Walking the Road of Life" adapted from Miyuki Nakajima's single, which is similar to Paula Tsui's "Going Downstream and Countercurrent" two years later, but easier to understand:

The road around you is not tired at all.

Walk with you for a while.

Cross the peak and see another peak.

Push the goal far and keep the ideal ahead forever.

The road is rugged and not afraid of tempering.

May the bitterness and joy in your life also be appreciated.

There are mixed feelings.

Enjoy snow in the wind and flowers in the fog.

Don't worry, appreciate what's around you.

Beautiful every day

I also want to make sure that beauty is at my feet.

May laughter.

Cover up the painful side

Sadness or happiness.

New discoveries are made every day.

Let the wind blow.

Give us a test.

Xiaoyudian Fang Xin Sa

I have made up my mind to move forward.

Both physical pain and mental depression converge into one sentence: "I am willing to cover up my pain with laughter, sadness or joy, and make new discoveries every day."

Just, new discovery, I don't know which day, meet again.
