Teresa Teng was born in Tienyang, a village in Yunlin Country, Taiwan to a mainlander family originating from Hebei province. She was educated at Ginling Girl's High School.
In 1968, she became famous after giving a performance on a popular music programme in Taiwan, and released eight albums within the next two years. In 1973, she attempted to crack the Japanese market, taking part in Japan's Kou-Haku Utagaseen, a year-round singing match of the most successful artists of that year, and won the prize for ‘Best New Singing Star".
In 1973, with the song "Aiport" and later "Empty Harbout", she conquered Japan, where she remained a leading star despite a short exile in 1979 when she was deported for having entered on a fake Indonesian passport, bought for $20,000, a subterfuge rendered necessary by a break in relations between Taiwan and Japan on China's entry to the UN Security Council. Singing by now in Cantonese, Japanese and English as well as her native Mandarin, Teng was soon popular as far as Malaysia and Indonesia.
