鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)

One of the most famous singers to come from the Chinese-speaking world, Teresa Teng (1953-1995) performed and recorded in Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Japanese, Indonesian, and English. Born in Taiwan, she showed musical talent from an early age, her big break coming from performing on a TV talent show in 1968. Having come from a military family, she frequently performed for soldiers, thus earning the nickname “The Soldiers' Sweetheart.” Following her death from an asthma attack, she was given a state funeral in Taiwan.
