Teresa
Teresa Teng, the most influential singer in the history of the Chinese music scene, her songs have a strong and exuberant vitality and endure. Teresa Teng is a female singer who really sang her voice out of China, and is a female singer who is popular throughout Asia and even the world, and after her death, no one has been able to reach her height. Li Zongsheng once said, "There are many people in the show business circle who are miracles, but only Teresa Teng can be called legendary." ”
More importantly, Teresa Teng's songs can still be heard in places where there are Chinese people today, and it has influenced generations of singers. Teresa published and released 185 albums or singles in her lifetime, and more than 3,000 songs in her lifetime. However, Teresa Teng's life has ups and downs, and her abrupt life has made her a song that can never be sung.
Teresa Teng has never been to the mainland in her short life, but her songs have been sung 8 times at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Teresa Teng's voice is very distinctive, she can hardly hear any breathing place when singing, and can even sing a high note continuously without nasal sounds, and Teresa Teng's Chinese bite words are also very clear.
To this day, songs such as "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Sweet Honey", "Story of a Small Town", "Night Fragrance", "I Only Care About You", "Repayment" and so on, still firmly occupy the top of the major classic song charts. May 8, 1995, was the saddest day for Teresa Teresa fans. In the evening of the same day, Teresa Teng died in Chiang Mai, Thailand, at the age of 42.
Teresa
Teresa's influence was too great, and her sudden death was destined to attract the attention of countless people. Countless journalists poured into Chiang Mai to frantically report, followed by news of Teresa's death. A Japanese reporter photographed Teresa Teng's remains and found a slap mark on the left side of her face. Another reporter broke the news that Teresa Teng's little boyfriend was not around when she died, and refused to have an autopsy.
What is even more incomprehensible is that Teresa Teng's coffin was once covered with the flag of the Republic of China, and when she was buried, she was wearing a Kuomintang party flag. Not only that, the scale of Teresa Teng's funeral was unprecedented, almost all the Kuomintang bigwigs were present, and it was the Kuomintang active soldiers who carried the coffin to help the soul at the time of the funeral. In addition, the owner of the cemetery where Teresa's cemetery is located only symbolically charges 1 yuan.
Teresa Teresa's influence is very large, but the funeral specifications are so high, which naturally causes people to question, is Teresa Teresa any special status? According to the information that can be found so far, the process of Teresa Teng's death is foggy. Teresa Is passionate about Chiang Mai, Thailand, and it became her last stop.
Chiang Mai is a city in northern Thailand, second only to The Capital of Thailand, Bangkok, and still retains many precious historical and cultural monuments. Chiang Mai city has a beautiful environment, famous for its roses, known as the "Northern Thai roses". Teresa has been to Thailand many times during her lifetime, and Chiang Mai is her favorite place to visit, using it as a place of recuperation for herself.
Mei Ping Hotel room 1502
In May 1995, Teresa Teng and her french boyfriend Paul came to Chiang Mai again, and the two stayed in Room 1502 of the Mae Ping Hotel, which is a presidential suite. On the afternoon of May 8, Paul left the hotel alone for some reason. As usual, the hotel attendants patrolled each floor.
When patrolling to the door of Teresa Teresa's room, the waiter suddenly heard intermittent knocks on the door. Because Teresa Teresa was an important guest of the hotel, the waiter immediately reported an abnormal situation to the manager, and everyone immediately opened the room. The scene in front of them made everyone dumbfounded, only to see Teresa Teng lying on the ground near the door, pale, panting loudly, and covering her chest with her hands.
The hotel immediately arranged for staff to take Teresa Teng to the hospital, because it was rush hour and the traffic jam was serious. By the time she arrived at the hospital, Teresa was delirious, her face was blue, and her heartbeat had almost stopped. The emergency doctors at Ram Hospital in Chiang Mai used all methods of rescue, including cardiac injections and electric shocks, and the results ended in failure.
At 17:30, Teresa died at the age of 42. According to the hotel, Teresa Teng stayed in the hotel three times under the name of "Teresa Deng" before she developed symptoms of discomfort. Perhaps it is the water and soil that are not satisfied, Teresa Teng is not in a good state every time she comes to the hotel, and she has suffered from severe colds many times.
Teresa Teresa and her french boyfriend Paul
Soon, various reporters reported on Teresa's death, and some even titled exclusive reports, of which Japanese reporters reported in the most detail. A Japanese reporter did not know how to photograph Teresa Teng's remains, and people were surprised to find that Teresa Teng had obvious red marks from the left neck to the forehead, which was a slap mark on closer inspection.
Coincidentally, Kou Weiyong, a veteran media personality in Taiwan at the time, participated in the report on Teresa Teng's death. After returning to Taiwan, Kou Weiyong publicly stated in a program on Taipei UFO Radio that after Teresa Teng died, there was a slap red mark on the left cheek of the corpse. Who hit it? Could it be that Teresa had a fierce conflict with others before she died?
Soon everyone turned their attention to one person, Teresa's little French boyfriend Paul. As mentioned earlier, Paul left the hotel before Teresa's illness, and when he returned to the hotel, the hotel manager informed him that his girlfriend had been sent to the hospital for rescue, and as a result, Paul ignored it and went back to the room to sleep directly.
At 8 p.m., the police came to the room to wake paul up and took him back for questioning, but the matter was finally dismissed because no evidence could be found. Paul's indifference to his girlfriend's death led him to be madly blamed. Kou Weinan gave himself a point of view, "Teresa was killed by Paul's anger. ”
Teresa
Kou Weinan recalled: "Teresa's boyfriend was wearing dark green shorts at the time, and I saw him standing in a three-seven-step manner, shaking his legs and looking like a hanging child. There was not a trace of sorrow in Paul's body. The hotel manager was also very angry, and he told Kou Weinan: "This man is not responsible to such a point." ”
However, the hotel attendants thought that Paul and Teresa Had a good relationship, and they saw Teresa and Paul going in and out of the hotel together many times, and they talked while walking, and both of them had smiles on their faces. Paul is 14 years younger than Teresa Teresa, and in 1990 Teresa was in a semi-retired state, and she met Paul, who loved photography in France.
At this time, Teresa Teng was in a gap period of feelings, coupled with the failure of many previous relationships, which made her physically and mentally exhausted. Teresa Teresa met Paul while taking photos, and Paul was optimistic and open-minded, tall, empathetic and humorous, and the two soon fell in love. In order to support Paul's photography career, Teresa Teng spent a lot of money to buy him expensive photographic equipment.
During her life in Paris, Teresa and Paul also opened a joint bank card in the bank, and Teresa never asked how much Paul spent. Teresa Teng's good friend Ou Liming once revealed the relationship between the two, "Teresa Teresa is so happy to know Paul, you can clearly see that she is radiant." In fact, Paul was very kind to her, and did not covet her money as the outside world said. For example, when Teresa Teng reads that the light is too dark, Paul will help her turn it on. ”
Teresa
Judging from these circumstances, Teresa's death does not seem to have anything to do with Paul. Teresa Teng's younger brother, Deng Changxi, insisted that there was no conspiracy to kill her sister, but only because of a sudden onset of asthma. Some insiders revealed that Teresa Teresa shouted "Mom" several times on the car to the hospital. Because Paul was reluctant to perform an autopsy on Teresa Teresa's body, the head of Chiang Mai Ram Hospital could not give the real cause of Teresa's death.
In short, the cause of Teresa's death is still a mystery. On the third day after Teresa's death, the Taiwan authorities sent a special plane to transport the body back to Taipei. On May 28, Teresa Teresa's funeral was held at Taipei's First Funeral Home on an unprecedented scale and was broadcast live on television. Teresa Teng's funeral was extremely honorable and mournful, and even broke the top ten records, second only to Chiang Kai-shek's funeral that year.
Especially live television, at that time, in addition to the qualifications of military and political personnel in Taiwan, no artist had such treatment before Teresa Teng. Not only that, but the person responsible for the live broadcast of the funeral was Taiwan's Huashi Television, which has a military background. After Teresa Teresa's funeral officially began, the family sacrifice was first performed, and Teresa's eldest brother Deng Chang'an read out the sacrifice text.
Immediately after the memorial service, the public sacrifice ceremony officially began at 9 o'clock, and Song Chuyu, honorary chairman of the funeral committee, served as the chief priest. Teresa Teresa Hall is like a sea of flowers, spending more than NT$1.7 million (equivalent to HK$500,000 at the time) for the flower arrangement alone, including expensive bellflower stems, perfume lilies, dancing orchids, red heart cranes, Whelan and so on.
Teresa Teng's remains
After the ceremony began, Song Chuyu delivered a speech in an extremely sad tone. After the ceremony, Teresa Teng's remains were openly presented to people. After the burial began, Teresa Teng's body was first draped with a Kuomintang party flag, the coffin was covered with the national flag of the Republic of China, and then carried out of the spiritual hall by the soldiers, carried on the hearse, and sent to the Jinbaoshan Cemetery in Taiwan for burial.
After Teresa Teng's death, cemetery owners across Taipei wanted to be buried in their own cemeteries, so that their own cemeteries would become more popular. After some investigation, Teresa's family finally chose Taipei's Campbell Hill Cemetery, and the owner of the cemetery symbolically charged 1 yuan.
Teresa Teng's cemetery is also extravagant, and the "Garden" was designed by Xi Shuxiang, former head of the Department of Architecture at Tsinghua University, and the entire building cost more than NT$10 million. At the entrance of the "Garden", computer and music experts also specially designed a giant laser turntable, and when the person who came to hang passed the laser turntable, the computer would immediately sense it and broadcast the songs of Teresa Teng's life.
After Teresa Teng's funeral, the Taiwan authorities also awarded her a number of honors, and the military awarded her the "Land, Sea and Air Commendation," which is the highest honor that the military can award to non-military personnel. The relevant departments of the Kuomintang authorities awarded Teresa Teng the honorary titles of "Huaxia First Class Medal" and "First Class Huaguang Award".
Teresa Teresa Cemetery
We admit that Teresa's songs have a great influence, but is such a high-profile funeral, like a military and political official, a bit excessive? Sure enough, a month after Teresa Teng was buried, the retired major general of the Kuomintang broke out a shocking secret: Teresa Teng was a female agent of the Taiwan authorities before she died.
Isn't it jaw-dropping? What is more crucial is that this major general of the national army has an "extraordinary identity", he is the great secret agent Gu Zhengwen, who is known as the "Living Yama King". Gu Zhengwen, born in 1910 in Fenyang, Shanxi, was originally named Guo Tongzhen. Gu Zhengwen was young and intelligent, and was later admitted to Peking University.
After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Gu Zhengwen secretly joined the Communist Party of China, and he actively participated in the student movement, once becoming the secretary of the Peking Student Movement Committee of the Communist Party of China. After the beginning of the All-out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Gu Zhengwen abandoned his pen and defected to Lin Biao's command, becoming a captain of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
However, Gu Zhengwen could not bear the hard life of the Eighth Route Army, and after the failure of an operation, he directly defected and became an agent of the Kuomintang army in north China. Gu Zhengwen was deeply trusted by Dai Kasa, the head of the military command, and he was entrusted with heavy responsibilities many times, putting him in charge of the work in North China for a long time.
Gu Zhengwen
After Dai Kasa's plane crash in 1946, when Mao Renfeng was sorting out his belongings, he found that Dai Kasa wrote in his diary: "Guo Tongzhen read a lot, and he can be of great use." After the Defeat of the Kuomintang on the mainland, at the recommendation of Mao Renfeng, Gu Zhengwen was highly valued by Chiang Kai-shek.
For a long time, Gu Zhengwen directly accepted the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek and participated in the planning and implementation of one major assassination case after another. On April 11, 1955, an Air India aircraft called "Kashmir Princess" was on its way from Hong Kong to carry some members of the Chinese delegation to Bandung, when it flew over the sea near Sarawak, North Borneo, and a total of 16 members of the Chinese delegation, Chinese and foreign journalists and crew members were killed.
This is the "Kashmir Princess" incident that shocked China and foreign countries, and the plan for this action is Gu Zhengwen, whose target is Premier Zhou. Because Premier Zhou had just finished appendicitis surgery, he temporarily changed his route and took Yangon from Kunming to Jakarta. In the eyes of Mao Renfeng, Gu Zhengwen is a character who is even more fierce than his means.
Therefore, after Gu Zhengwen revealed the identity of Teresa Teng, it immediately attracted huge attention. In mid-June 1995, Taiwan's "Exclusive" magazine published a very eye-catching article. This is a reporter's exclusive interview with Gu Zhengwen, who said: "Teresa Teng is a secret intelligence worker of the Kuomintang State Security Bureau, which is subordinate to the third division of the Taiwan Security Bureau, and the Kuomintang Military Intelligence and Statistics Bureau is working in coordination. ”
Teresa Teng and Wu Ronggen sang songs
After the article was published, it aroused the great interest of Japanese journalistSmi Uma and freelance writer Watanabe Yashi, and it should be known that Teresa Teng also has a huge influence in Japan. Uma and Watanabe began to use this as a clue and began to conduct a follow-up investigation and interview on Teresa's life for more than 4 months.
The answer given by the two Japanese was: "Regarding Teresa Teresa's spy, our conclusion is yes, it is true... Cold international politics pushed Teresa Teng onto the political stage... In the era in which she lived, there was only one path she could choose, when the reality of Taiwanese society forced her to take the path of espionage. ”
One thing is certain, Teresa was born into a military family, and her father, Deng Shu, went to Taiwan with his family in 1948 with the rank of second lieutenant of the Hebei Army. After Teresa became famous, she participated in many military activities, such as going to the Kinmen front to work for the army, and participating in welcoming pilots who flew fighters from the mainland to defect to Taiwan.
So, when did Teresa Teng join Taiwan's intelligence services? According to Gu, it was in the summer of 1968 that 15-year-old Teresa Teng received an invitation from Singapore to attend a charity concert at the National Theatre in Singapore.

At that time, the Taiwan authorities were extremely strict on the entry and exit of the public, especially celebrities, and if the applicant could use the conditions he had to work for the intelligence department and sign relevant agreements, he could obtain an entry and exit passport very smoothly. As a result, the young Teresa Teng became a female agent.
However, Teresa Teng is not the same as the female agents that everyone sees in spy dramas, and she sacrifices her body in order to obtain intelligence. Teresa only relied on her own conditions and incidentally helped the intelligence department to complete some tasks. Gu Zhengwen also acknowledged this, saying:
"In principle, the infiltrated secret service intelligence personnel like Teresa Teng are fundamentally different from other professional spies, and they do not undertake espionage work that requires special espionage skills, but only use their existing conditions to serve the Kuomintang government in Taiwan under appropriate circumstances."
Teresa Teng had just been buried for safety, and Gu Zhengwen broke such news, and public opinion on the island of Taiwan was in an uproar. The Deng family was indignant, and Teresa Teng's eldest brother stood up and issued a solemn statement on behalf of the whole family:
"The exclusive magazine's interview article, which was written on the basis of not conducting any interviews with our families, is an insult to Teresa Teng herself, and I, as a fellow journalist, feel ashamed of it."
Teresa
After Gu Zhengwen saw the statement, he directly shrugged it off, saying: "If Teresa Teng's family or other people think that I am talking nonsense, please go to the court and sue me." I can assure you that all of Teresa's files are there, and when you go to the court to check it, you will know who is talking nonsense. ”
It is strange that when Gu Zhengwen's response was published in the newspaper, all kinds of doubts almost suddenly disappeared. It has been 27 years since Teresa Teng's death, but her influence has not diminished at all, and flowers still flow in front of her tomb.
There are too many legends of Teresa Teng, let's relive the unforgettable classics of a generation of beautiful people in the song...
