Faye Wong, Wang Fei or Shirley Wong (better known as 王菲) born August 8, 1969 in Beijing, now a Hong Kong citizen, is an extremely popular singer in Asia, especially in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and more recently in Japan and to some extent in the West. She is believed by critics and fans alike to be the most commercially and artistically distinguished female vocalist in Chinese music history, with a following so large and devoted that media in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China often place the title tiānhou, (天后; diva or goddess) before her name while Japanese fans call her "Diva of Asia". (source: Wikipedia)  Level: 4 This term is used in both Cantonese and Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. |
