Teresa Teng邓丽君 Love Without End不了情

Teresa passed away in Chiangmai, Thailand, on the 8th of May, 1995. I was really devastated when I read about it in the papers two days later. She was flown back to Taiwan where she was buried on the 28th of May.

Teresa was given a state funeral in Taiwan, with the Republic of China flag draped over her coffin and the former president Lee Teng-hui in attendance among thousands in mourning. Here is a short clip of the wake.

May 8th, this year, 2010 is the 15th anniversary of that sad day in Chiangmai, Thailand, when a massive traffic jam prevented her from reaching the hospital on time.

This song is titled Bu Liao Qing, or "Love without end." It was recorded in France during one of her practices. Her family came to terms with their loss and were able to share this with the rest of the world in 2001, 6 years after her death.
