Taiwanese singer Teresa Tang - I want freedom
(9 May) 8 May 2020 was the 25th Anniversary of the death of the Taiwanese singer Teresa Tang. The Japanese broadcaster TBS aired a special documentary on Tang’s life, named “Terasa Hot Songs - Reality after 25 years of her death”.
In the latter half of the program, it showed Teresa’s aspirations of democracy, mentioning a quote from a Japanese TV show she was on. She said, “I want freedom, everyone deserves to be free and it is very sad that freedom is being threatened.”
Later, the show played her song “the sorrows of freedom” (悲哀的自由) and ended with scenes of the anti-government protests in Hong Kong. The voice-over concluded the Show with: “how would Teresa think of the current situation of Hong Kong?”
It is understood that the Show producer 落合芳行 (@ochy) lived in Hong Kong when the anti-government protests began last year, at that time he couldn’t stop to think of Teresa, who loved Hong Kong as it was before.
落合芳行 said: “According to her life, and all the happenings during these 25 years after her death, how could we interpret when we listen to her songs. The audience would watch the show and think about it.
