I'm watching an old concert of Teresa Teng.

It was her first concert on the Mainland and that concert was broadcast live throughout China at that time. It must have been a very big deal at that time.

Time really flies. It must have been a few decades ago that I was listening to her songs ..

And we actually went to her grave ( unintentionally ) in Chin Pao San. Her songs are played throughout the day at her grave ..

Teresa passed away when she was 42.

Very soon it's my birthday again and it's reminding me how short life is.

==============================

From Wikipedia:-

Teresa Teng (born January 29, 1953 – May 8, 1995) (traditional Chinese: 鄧麗君; simplified Chinese: 邓丽君; pinyin: Dèng Lìjūn; Wade–Giles: Teng Li-chun; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tēng Lē-kun, Japanese: テレサ・テン), was an immensely popular and influential Chinese pop singer from Taiwan.

Teresa Teng's voice and songs are instantly recognized throughout East Asia and in areas with large Asian populations. It is often said, "Wherever there are Chinese people, the songs of Teresa Teng can be heard." Her songs also enjoy popularity among Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Indonesian listeners.

Teng was known for her folk songs and romantic ballads. Many became standards in her lifetime, such as "When Will You Return?" (何日君再來) and "The Moon Represents My Heart" (月亮代表我的心).[1]

She recorded songs not only in her native Mandarin but also in Taiwanese, Cantonese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and English.[citation needed]

Teng, a lifelong sufferer from asthma, died in 1995 from a severe respiratory attack while on holiday in Thailand. She was 42.

She's buried buried in Chin Pao San.

Chin Pao San (also Jinbaoshan, Jiongbaoshan Chinese: 金寶山; pinyin: jīn bǎo shān; literally "Golden Treasure Mountain") is a private cemetery located on a mountainside near Jinshan in New Taipei City, northern Taiwan. The site overlooks the Ju Ming Museum and, beyond it, the East China Sea.

Urns at Jinbaoshan are placed both indoors and outdoors. The site is accessible to visitors in wheelchairs.

Chin Pao San is famous for its abundant art. The grounds and interiors feature original works by a number of artists, including Ju Ming, the Taiwanese sculptor whose work represents the core of the collection at the adjacent museum. Sculpture at the site is modern in style and often symbolist in character.

Many works are not overtly religious; of those that are, Buddhist and Taoist images are most numerous, though all major religions find representation at the site and one main building gives a prominent place to Christianity. [1]

The most frequently visited gravesite belongs to Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng. Her memorial garden features a life-size statue and a large electronic keyboard set in the ground that can be played by visitors who walk on its keys. [2]

Went for Retrolicious 2011 held at Fort Canning Park on Oct 8, 2011 (Saturday) and it really rocked! Belinda Carlisle was my fave, was dancing and singing to every song she sang, oh so beautifully!

The crowd went more wild with Bananarama though, and I was just lukewarm to them as they are sugar pop.

Human League was a good synthesizer band and had some concept songs like The Lebanon and Mirror Man, but it was their ballad "Human" which really got me caught up, as I love the lyric for that song.

Altogether, a very powerful, wonderful experience which I will cherish forever!
