A Chinese woman who has fascinated former Japanese prime ministers for decades

Love is love, love is amour,

Love is rak, love is love, love is love.

Love is the most beautiful language of mankind,

Love is chia tai's selfless dedication.

A few simple lyrics, I believe that many 70s and 80s will be sung in their heads without listening to the melody!

It is this "Dedication of Love", not only because of its classic and warm melody, but also because it is also the theme song of CCTV's classic column "Zhengda Variety", so this song was widely sung that year, but not many people knew the singers.

"Dedication of Love" is sung by Weng Qianyu, and the lyrics are written by her father, Weng Bingrong. Weng Qianyu was born in Taiwan because her father served as the representative of the China Broadcasting Corporation in Japan, and she moved to Japan with her parents at the age of 3. Weng Qianyu was born into a "revolutionary family", and her grandfather, Mr. Weng Junming (1892-1943, a native of Tainan), was a historical figure in the Xinhai Revolution. His father, Weng Bingrong, later traveled from the mainland to Taiwan with the Kuomintang and gave birth to Weng Qianyu in Taipei in 1950. Mr. Weng Bingrong later served as the director of the Psychological Warfare Department of the United Nations Army (GHQ) and the director of BBC Radio, which occupied Japan after the war, and was also the first program manager of Taiwan's China Television. Weng Qianyu, as a big girl, was deeply educated by her parents, from elementary school to middle school, she has been studying at the Zhonghua School in Tokyo, so she speaks Beijing and Taiwanese very smoothly. Later, he was admitted to the famous Sophia University in Japan.

Weng Qianyu starred in the Japanese-American co-production film "Great Tsunami" at the age of 11 and became famous in one fell swoop. He became a singer at the age of 16. Her famous songs in the Chinese circle include "Prayer", as well as "Dedication of Love" sung for CCTV's "Zhengda Variety" program, and later covered by Wei Wei. As well as the theme song of the Japanese TV series "Ashin", "Always Believe". He has acted in more than 20 films and won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award.

Weng Qianyu is versatile, in film, television, stage plays, singing, printmaking, charity, program hosting, program production, costume design, cooking and other fields have made great achievements, in Japan and Taiwan showbiz status is lofty, standing in the art world spanning half a century, is revered as "the first oriental art goddess".

In 1992, Japan's NHK and China Central Television jointly held the "China-Japan Friendship Song Festival" in Beijing to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the normalization of Diplomatic Relations between China and Japan, with Weng Qianyu as the host of the Japanese side. In September 1995, Weng Qianyu spent eight years planning the "Beijing Peace Concert" held in Beijing Temple of Heaven Park. After the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, Weng Qianyu organized a group of Chinese and Japanese singers to hold a disaster relief charity performance in Tokyo, and donated more than 10 million yen of the proceeds to the Sichuan disaster area.

After talking about Ms. Weng Qianyu, let's talk about the former Prime Minister of Japan, Naoto Kan.

Kan is only 3 years older than Weng Qianyu and belongs to his peers. In the process of Kan Naoto's growth, Weng Qianyu's singing voice and figure have always accompanied him, so he has always admired her in his heart. Eight years ago, the two met at a cocktail party. Naoto Suga was already the head of the Democratic Party at the time, and the two took their first group photo. After that, whenever Weng Qianyu had any performances or activities, Kan Naoto always squeezed out time to rush to the scene. On the night of March 31, 2010, Weng Qianyu held a 60th birthday party at Chinzanso in Tokyo. Naoto Suga was already the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Japan. Half an hour before the end of the cocktail party, Weng Qianyu suddenly received a call from Naoto Kan, saying that the congressional meeting had just ended and that she was now rushing to the birthday venue. What Weng Qianyu did not expect was that Kan Naoto actually bought flowers and said a sentence that made Weng Qianyu blush in his speech: "I hope that Qianyu will always be young and beautiful, always a 20-year-old girl."

Look, when the prime minister of a country meets his idol, he is also a proper little fan.

Also: Ms. Weng Qianyu is strictly Japanese-Chinese.
