Essential Best Teresa Teng
Theresa was born in 1953 in a little village in Taiwan where her family had moved to from Hebei Province, China. Theresa had won many awards in numerous singing contests since she was a very young girl. But the one that made the public notice about her was after she had sung “Visiting Ying Tai” from one of the Shaw Brothers’ infamous opera movies “The Love Eterne” (Liang Shan Bo yu Zhu Ying Tai). Theresa was only 11 years old then, but her beautiful voice has captured many hearts of her fans, and she instantly became very famous.
In 1968, the 15-year old Theresa was finally offered a record deal after the producer saw her performance in one of the popular music programs.
