Hong Kong evoked nostalgia in me even though this was my first visit. The city is full of memories of the late Teresa Teng, the pop diva whose hit ballads such as 「Sweet as Honey」 and 「The Moon Represents My Heart」 captured the hearts of millions across Asia and transcended not only geographical boundaries but time and generations as well.
Memorabilia of Teng can be easily found in the city, which piqued my curiosity about the life of this legendary singer.
「Wherever there are Chinese People, there’s Teresa Teng’s music.」
More than two decades after Teng’s passing, she remains in the collective memories of many people. Today, we are still listening to her songs.
Today, I have the great pleasure of interviewing Mr. Ricky Fung at Teresa Teng's favorite Shanghainese restaurant in Hong Kong.
