"Hastily away any time, all I care about is just you." Here is a mixed version by Chyi Chin, Yoga Lin, Sammi Cheung, Stefani Sun, Na Ying, Gigi Leung, Zhang Ziyi and of course Teresa.
"Where does Wind Come from" is another sweet ballad of Teresa's which has also been covered by several divas including Faye Wong, Long Piaopiao and Gao Shengmei. Karen Mok's version with a little jazz taste is quite unique.
Mok once mentioned that while growing up, she had listened to Teresa Teng's songs every day.
Whenever Teresa is mentioned, "The Moon Represents My Heart" is usually the first song that comes to mind. The all-time popular mandarin song has been covered by many Chinese and non-Chinese singers since the 70's.
David Tao is a talented musician from Taiwan. He wrote a new song called Whose Heart does the Moon Represent, which contains the basic melody of Teng's original one. This is really a special sign of respect from David.
Yes, Teresa, if you ask me how much we love you. Think about it and you will feel that the moon represents our hearts.
Selected by Time Magazine as one of the world's top seven female vocalists in 1986, she is celebrated for the sincere and simple style that made her voice instantly recognizable not only when she sang in her native Mandarin Chinese, but also in Japanese and English.
And last but not least, Teresa, the idol of the idols, we would say Good bye My Love, you will be forever remembered in our hearts.
