Faye Honors Teresa at 19 May 2013 Memorial Concert

In Beijing on 19 May 2013, at the memorial concert held in honor of the late Teresa Teng, Faye Wong sang four of Teresa’s songs, including “Qing Ping Diao” and “Du Shang Xi Lou.” While performing “Du Shang Xi Lou,” Faye said, “Teresa was my mentor who brought me into the music scene.” The second video below, which runs 3:27 (uploaded by Baogaliao Mall), is my favorite of the lot. Faye is much looser and relaxed, and this is when she’s at her best. Some media are mistakenly reporting that Faye stumbled and fell. However, it’s obvious that she took a slightly shaky step, quickly recovered, and was never in danger of falling. It was, in fact, barely noticeable. And she smiled — she didn’t “laugh” as some reported. Faye is always gracious, and grace in motion. Much thanks to those who uploaded videos to Youtube, especially Baogaliao Mall. You’ve made it possible for the rest of us, throughout the world, to see and hear Faye in this historic tribute.
