In 1990, Lin Qingxia and Teresa Teng were traveling in Europe. When passing by the beach, Teresa Teng suddenly said excitedly to Lin Qingxia, "Qingxia, do you have the courage to swim naked?"
At this time, Lin Qingxia may not have imagined that five years later, the lively, lovely and playful woman in front of her would die abroad.
In the eyes of the world, Lin Qingxia loves and hates like Dongfang Invincible, while Teresa Teng belongs to the kind of gentle and submissive traditional Chinese woman. So Lin Qingxia bet Teresa Teng did not dare.
Then Lin Qingxia looked like she was watching the show, decisively took off her dress, took off her clothes and jumped into the sea to swim naked.
After Teresa saw it, her heart was torn for a while, and finally she couldn’t help but be tempted to take off her clothes and play with Lin Qingxia in the water.
After the end, the two of them also took pictures of each other with their cameras, each taking a full 10 photos. Because they were worried about being exposed, Lin Qingxia asked a female photographer friend to help wash these photos, and only one copy was developed.
Five years later, Teresa died in Chiang Mai. No matter how much the paparazzi in the entertainment industry rummaged, they couldn’t find any recent photos.
And Lin Qingxia also said in her memoirs that hers was also gone:
I don’t know where the collection is. I searched all over Hong Kong and Taiwan for new and old residences, but I couldn’t find those photos and negatives. Teresa Teng also told me before her death that she had lost it and couldn’t find it anywhere.
The actress Lin Qingxia and the singer Teresa Teng, their encounters are as light as water and thicker than water.
In 2013, 18 years after Teresa Teng’s death, Lin Qingxia wrote in the book: Everyone thinks she has gone to heaven, but I know she is still alive.
Met by Qiong Yao drama
Before they met, there was a little-known relationship between them – alumni. Lin Qingxia and Teresa Teng’s alma mater are both Jinling Middle School, and Teresa Teng is only one year older than Lin Qingxia.
In 1973, Lin Qingxia became popular for her role in Qiong Yao’s "Outside the Window", and Teresa Teng also sang a large number of episodes for Qiong Yao’s drama, which led to their acquaintance.
Because Qin Xianglin became an opponent, he almost "turned against each other"
Once Teresa Teng went back to Taiwan to visit Lin Qingxia on a special basis. Lin Qingxia called Qin Xianglin together by the way. In this way, Teresa Teng and Qin Xianglin met.
Lin Qingxia never expected that the honest Qin Xianglin was actually a big radish, pursuing her while also pursuing her good sister Teresa Teng.
In 1978, Qin Xianglin began to pursue Lin Qingxia. When Lin Qingxia was going to work in Paris, Qin Xianglin told her that he would come to find her, but he waited for a whole week without waiting for him to come.
Later, through the gossip news, she found out that it was not that he had not come to Paris, but that he had gone to find Teresa Teng.
After that, Qingxia Lin and Teresa Teng met at the press conference, but they didn’t say hello. Then it became a knot between each other, and the two began to gradually distance themselves.
It was not until 1979 that Teresa Teng, who had just broken up with Jackie Chan, and Lin Qingxia, who had been blocked in love with Qin and Han, went abroad to relax at the same time, and they had the opportunity to clear up the past.
When meeting in a foreign country, Lin Qingxia was moved by Teresa Teng’s sincerity
In 1980, after learning that her former good friend Qingxia Lin was also abroad, Teresa Teng specially drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco to visit Lin Qingxia in general merchandise stores.
In fact, the two of them intended to hang out and didn’t plan to buy anything. But when they left, Teresa Teng went back and bought a bottle of perfume for Lin Qingxia.
In order to hurry, the two just had a drink and didn’t even eat, so Teresa Teng hurriedly drove back.
Seeing Teresa Teng’s generosity and dedication, Lin Qingxia was deeply moved by Teresa Teng’s sincerity for her.
So later, Lin Qingxia’s opinion on the short-term "love triangle" between them is:
We admire each other. We admire her to the extent that — if it’s her, I don’t mind it at all.
1989, happy time spent together in Paris
Lin Qingxia and Teresa Teng made an appointment to travel to Paris. Because they were in a different country and had no burden of fame, they both showed their true temperament and had a great time.
Lin Qingxia will invite Teresa to drink roadside coffee together; Teresa Teng will invite Lin Qingxia to a foreign restaurant to eat the signature duck meal, and she will be very bold to not wear clothes, scaring the waiter to the point of being unable to hold the dishes; swimming naked in the sea together, naked to meet;
After getting along with her, Lin Qingxia discovered many advantages of Teresa Teng and increasingly appreciated her.
Dinner in the restaurant, after listening to others playing or performing Teresa Teng will personally offer a glass of champagne and then praise a few words;
Teresa Teng was polite to those who served her, and always carried a handful of one or two hundred-franc banknotes (100 foreign francs = 81.97 yuan at the time) with her as a tip;
Lin Qingxia saw that Teresa Teng gave too many times, so she kindly helped her exchange some 50 for her, but Teresa Teng insisted on not accepting it.
After the trip to Paris, the two returned to Hong Kong together. On the plane, Lin Qingxia asked Teresa Teng: "Don’t you feel lonely when you are alone?"
After listening, Teresa Teng said to Lin Qingxia half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The fortune teller said that I was destined to leave my hometown, which would be better for me."
At this moment, Teresa Teng seemed to know that she would die in a foreign country in a few years.
In 1994, Qingxia Lin got married and wanted to give the bouquet to Teresa Teng, but she couldn’t find her
In 1994, Lin Qingxia got married. According to Lin Qingxia’s recollection, on the day of her wedding, she hoped to throw the bouquet in her hand to Teresa Teng, so that the joy would be brought to Teresa Teng together.
But Lin Qingxia couldn’t contact Teresa Teng and didn’t know where she was.
After getting married, Lin Qingxia received a phone call from Teresa Teng. Lin Qingxia complained and chatted with Teresa Teng a lot, but Teresa Teng smiled softly on the other end of the phone and said, "I’m in Chiang Mai, and I have a set of ruby jewelry for you."
If Lin Qingxia knew that this was her last phone call with Teresa Teng, I don’t think she would be willing to hang up so easily.
On May 8, 1995, Teresa Teng passed away due to illness in a foreign country.
Teresa Teng’s 60th birthday, Lin Qingxia’s "affectionate confession" to Teresa Teng
In 2013, Qingxia Lin was on vacation in South Africa. She couldn’t sleep and opened the window to look at the sky full of stars. She suddenly remembered Teresa Teng and hummed "The Moon Represents My Heart".
In this atmosphere, Lin Qingxia wrote the preface to the book "Absolute Sound – Teresa Teng Forever".
Lin Qingxia’s "affectionate confession" to Teresa Teng in the book:
She left suddenly, and I felt lost. I always felt that our friendship had not ended.
Over the years, she has often appeared in my dreams, and she is the same as she is in reality – a mysterious woman.
The amazing thing is that in the dream, everyone thought she had gone to heaven, but I knew she was still alive.
"I know you are still in the world, and I will always remember you. You have walked through my life, which is a unique scenery." It is already Lin Qingxia’s deepest miss.
