Teresa Teng
The Taiwanese pop singer who became a superstar in communist China. Teresa Teng's gentle sound and image appealed to millions in the 1980s.
Teresa Teng was a Taiwanese singer who gained popularity with her soft-focus image and romantic songs. But when her music reached mainland communist China, she became a superstar - and part of a propaganda battle between Taiwan and the mainland. Lucy Burns has been speaking to Teresa's brother Frank Teng about her life and early death.
