Teresa Teng (29 January 1953 – 8 May 1995) was a Taiwanese singer. She was known for her folk songs and extreme voice cracks ballads, such as “When Will You Return?” and “The Moon Represents My Heart“. She recorded songs not only in Mandarin Chinese but also in Hokkien, CantoneseJapanese,

 Indonesian and English. She also spoke French fluently.

Teng, a longtime sufferer of asthma, died from a severe respiratory attack while on vacation in Thailand in 1995, at the age of 42.

Early life

Teng was born in Baozhong TownshipYunlin County on 29 January 1953, to waishengren parents. Her father was a soldier in the Republic of China Armed Forces from DamingHebei and her mother was from DongpingShandong. She was the only daughter in the family, with three older brothers and a younger brother. She was educated at Ginling Girls High School (私立金陵女中) in Sanchong TownshipTaipei County.

As a young child, Teng won awards for her singing at talent competitions. Her first major prize was in 1964 when she sang “Visiting Yingtai” from Shaw Brothers‘ Huangmei opera movie, The Love Eterne, at an event hosted by Broadcasting Corporation of China. She was soon able to support her family with her singing. ROC’s rising manufacturing economy in the 1960s made the purchase of records easier for more families. With her father’s approval, she quit preschool to pursue singing professionally.
