Old chinese pop music

I've been interested in old chinese pop music for a while now, and i've gathered a few songs and pictures I like from that era (50's-60's~). Enjoy~


The actress Lin Dai


The actress Patricia Lam Fung

Pearl Au Kar-wai and Patricia Lam Fung

Lin Dai and Soo Fung


I think that the title of this song is "Jin cao jiao hua", but i have no idea of who sings this version, my favorite haha

Yao Lee, "Rose, rose i love you"


The song "Bu liao qing" or "Love without end". I think that Lin Dai sings this version.


Unfortunately, I don't know the title of this song or the artist, all i know is that it's great and that it has been used in some movies.
EDIT : after some researches, it came out that this version is sung by Bai Guang, and the song is called " Wo deng zhe ni hui lai", which means "Waiting for you"~

And as a bonus, Teresa Teng's version of "Bu liao qing", much more recent :)

Lost thoughts








Another picture selection. 
And a bonus music video that rather matches my mood right now.

Japan, the strange country


An interesting, yet possibly disturbing video about Japan.
It was created by Tanaka Kenichi, a Japanese graphic designer, and was released as his final thesis project.
What he says about this video : "My objective is to make Japanese people to think about that everything happening here in Japan, isn't that normal. So I created this video from foreigner's point of view, rather than Japanese people's point of view."
