Thanks to her achievements, which earned her widespread popularity across the entire Sinophone cultural sphere as well as in Asia more broadly—including Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia—she has been called the Diva of Asia both during her lifetime and after her passing.

She began her singing career in Japan in 1974, debuting in the idol kayōkyoku style, but sales were lackluster.

After switching to the enka kayōkyoku style, however, her second single, “Kūkō” (Airport), became a major hit, winning the Best New Artist Award at the 16th Japan Record Awards and elevating her to top-star status in Japan.

A ballad pop song that captures the bittersweet feelings of a teenager exhausted by love.

It was released in 2018.

The composer is Shu Jinglin, and the arrangement and recording were handled by Feng Cong.

The theme is a rainy scene—its gentle, subdued mood is sad, but it matches beautifully and is truly lovely.
