Jackie Chan - Teresa Teng: Sweet youthful love ends in hatred

Teresa Teng is considered a legendary female singer of Chinese music. Her voice is praised as "seven parts sweetness, three parts tears". Teresa Teng's famous songs include: Autumn Leaves Falling, Moonlight Speaks for My Heart, Sweet Sweetness, I Only Love You...

Many people affirm that there is no Chinese person who does not know about The Moon Speaks for My Heart by Teresa Teng.

Not only famous for her singing voice, Teresa Teng is also known by many people for her tearful love affair with "martial arts king" Jackie Chan.

In his autobiography, Jackie Chan said he first met Teresa Teng when he went to the US to film. The actor wrote: "After meeting her, I was very happy to have a fellow countryman in the US. We exchanged phone numbers and started dating. At first, we both studied English, went out together, learned to dance, watched the sea and often had dinner together."

When mentioning Teresa Teng, Jackie Chan used many beautiful words: "She is a good and kind girl, with a warm and gentle voice. She wouldn't even dare step on an ant crawling over her. If she gets married in the future, she will definitely become a good wife and mother."

Although he affirmed that Teresa Teng was a rare good woman, Jackie Chan was not interested in this relationship. While Teresa Teng needed a warm love, Jackie Chan was absorbed in his career. Once, the famous singer traveled all the way to the set to visit her lover. However, the actor only focused on work, leaving her waiting for an hour. When she could no longer be patient, Teresa Teng sulked: "I'm going home. From now on, you only need to care about your brothers." At that time, Jackie Chan only coldly replied with two words: "Fine."

The incident was like the last straw, causing Jackie Chan and Teresa Teng's blossoming love to quickly fade away. Their relationship became even more strained when not long after, the actor fell in love with Lin Feng Jiao - Teresa Teng's friend.

Chinese media reported that after breaking up with Jackie Chan, Teresa Teng was very heartbroken. She once declared: "I hate that man to death."

After that, Teresa Teng and Jackie Chan always avoided each other. The female singer died suddenly at a young age, leaving her fans very sad.

In 2016, Jackie Chan released his autobiography. In it, the actor mentioned his love affair with Teresa Teng. The Shanghai Knights star also revealed that before her death, Teresa Teng tried to contact him. However, because Teresa Teng was busy, his personal assistant answered the phone. This person asked the singer to call back a few days later. However, Teresa Teng died before the next call could be made.

The details in Jackie Chan's autobiography have caused mixed reactions among the audience. Many people think that the actor should not rekindle the story with the deceased to attract attention. The singer's family also expressed dissatisfaction. Teresa Teng's brother loudly shared: "Even though Jackie Chan is an international star, in my eyes he is just a common man. Teresa has been dead for a long time, but in his autobiography he still dragged my sister into it. No one has verified the truth of the old story. Telling the story yourself and then selling books, increasing your own revenue?"

In response to the above criticism, Jackie Chan affirmed that he had selected details that did not harm others to include in the book.
