Segre-Reinach,

Japanese History and Culture

In this article, Segre-Reinach outlines the profile of the celebrated pop singer Teresa Teng (1953–1995), also known as Teresa Deng and Teng Li-Chun (traditional Chinese: 鄧麗君; simplified Chinese: 邓丽; pinyin: Dèng Lìjūn). Twenty-six years after her death, Teresa Teng, Segre-Reinach argues, has a role not only for her music but as a fashion icon of global reach. Her fame has in fact continued after her death, and she has recently acquired a new global interest. Teresa Teng is a Chinese fashion icon influencing global fashion, much beyond her life.
