Knowing her story, you will definitely feel the charm of this international superstar!!!
Sweet
"Sweet Honey" The original song is taken from an Indonesian Sumatra folk song, written by Zhuang Nu, and sung by Teresa King. It was released in 1979. "Sweet Honey" is not only one of Teresa Teng's personal important masterpieces, but also a well-known classic song in the Chinese world. The songs have a relaxed, lively and cheerful artistic atmosphere unique to Southeast Asia. In November 1979, the first title song of the album "Sweet Honey" released by PolyGram, sold more than one million copies that year, and was one of the three platinum records obtained by Teresa Teng in 1979! From that time on, large posters of Teresa Teng began to appear in many people's homes.
Popular music is beginning to spread in China! Up to now, Tian Mi Mi is still the most classic eternal golden song, and many new generation singers used it to cover it. The lyrics of "Sweet Honey" come from the works of Taiwanese poet Zhuang Nu. At that time, the record company handed over the song to Zhuang Nu. Zhuang Nu asked who the song was written to. When he learned that Teresa Teng was going to perform it, he completed the lyrics of "Sweet Honey" in five minutes. Many classic works by Teresa Teng are from Zhuang Nu, such as "Small City Story" and "Seeing Cooking Smoke Again".

Small town story
"Small Town Story" was published in March 1979. It is one of Teresa Teng's most well-known classic songs. The album with "Small Town Story" as the main album is Teresa Teng's most perfect classic work before "Light Emotions". Before that, Teresa Teng was already the top singer of Mandarin pop songs, one of the most popular singers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Japan, but it seemed that there was something missing in terms of singing style. As soon as "Small Town Story" came out, that kind of gentle, pure, elegant and passionate style made her singing career reach the realm that can be called "perfect" for the first time, becoming a peak that future generations cannot surpass!
In "Small Town Story", Teresa Teng's vocal range is obviously narrowed, the sound quality is purer, and the tone is beautiful like a rainbow, creating a graceful image that is both classic and modern. Some people might say that Teresa Teng's vocal range is still a bit narrow at this time, and his timbre is a bit thin, but this is what makes "Little Town Story" good! There is a little melancholy in the sweetness, and there is vitality in the tenderness! But some people say, "Xiaocheng" "Story" is the last time Teresa Teng has looked back on the world.
