Teresa Teng Passes Away 31 Years Ago: Japanese Promoter Revealed, Heartbrokenly Says: 'I Wish I Could See Her Once More'

Mandopop superstar Teresa Teng has been gone for 31 years. Yesterday, the Teresa Teng Cultural and Educational Foundation held the 'Teresa Teng 31st Anniversary Music Concert at Junyuan, Jinbaoshan Cemetery.' Teresa Teng's Japanese manager Funaki Minoru, now 93 years old, once again traveled a great distance to Taiwan to pay respects. He said, "I just want to see Teresa Teng once more."

Funaki Minoru revealed that every time he hears "Toki no nagare ni mi wo makase (I Only Care About You)", he is reminded of the last image of Teresa Teng. When asked about his first impression when meeting her, Funaki Minoru recalled seeing Teresa for the first time on stage when she was just 14 or 15. "Although she was very young, her singing voice was extremely clear and beautiful, which left a deep impression on me."

Funaki Minoru also mentioned that when he was trying to invite Teresa Teng to develop her career in Japan, he persevered and waited in Hong Kong for over a week before finally receiving a call from Teresa's mother, and they met in a restaurant at the hotel.
 

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of "Toki no nagare ni mi wo makase (I Only Care About You)". The online flower tribute event "Love Is Like a Flower" was inspired by this, designed by teacher Zhang Yizhong from Wenhua Flower Shop. Centered on Teresa Teng's favorite red roses, and paired with night jasmine, perfume lilies, white lisianthus, gardenia, jasmine, and baby's breath, it symbolizes longing, lifelong devotion, and eternal love. Fans from around the world express their feelings with each bouquet, so that each flower that accompanies Teresa Teng symbolizes a fan's love for her that transcends distance.
