Faye Wong
Faye Wong (born 8 August 1969) is a Chinese singer-songwriter and actress based in Hong Kong, often referred to as a "diva" in Hong Kong media.(Chinese: 天后; literally: "Heavenly Queen"). Early in her career she briefly used the stage name Shirley Wong. Born in Beijing, she moved to British Hong Kong in 1987 and came to public attention in the early 1990s by singing ballads in Cantonese. Since 1994 she has recorded mostly in her native Mandarin, often combining alternative music with mainstream Chinese pop. In 2000 she was recognised by Guinness World Records as the Best Selling Canto-Pop Female. Following her second marriage in 2005 she withdrew from the limelight, but returned to the stage in 2010 amidst immense interest in the Sinophone world.
Hugely popular in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, she has also gained a large following in Japan. In the West she is perhaps best known for starring in Wong Kar-wai's films Chungking Express and 2046. While she has collaborated with international artists such as Cocteau Twins, Wong recorded only a few songs in English, including "Eyes on Me" – the theme song of the video game Final Fantasy VIII. Wong is known to be reserved in public, and has gained a reputation for her "coolness". In Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture, Jeroen de Kloet characterised her as "singer, actress, mother, celebrity, royalty, sex symbol and diva all at the same time".
Faye Wong (1997 album)
Faye Wong (王菲) is a self-titled album by Chinese singer Faye Wong. Her first recording with EMI, it was recorded in Beijing and released in 1997, around the time that she relocated to Beijing after several years of success in Hong Kong.
All tracks are sung in Mandarin. This album is filled with feelings of lethargy, languor, drowsiness and disengagement, yet most of the songs sound warm and sweet.
The album continued Wong's collaboration with the Cocteau Twins, which began with Random Thoughts in 1994 and Fuzao in 1996. They wrote the fourth track on this album, "Amusement Park", especially for Faye Wong. Track 8 "Reminiscence" (or "Nostalgia") is a cover of "Rilkean Heart" from their 1996 album Milk and Kisses.
Track 5, "Mortal World", was composed by Miyuki Nakajima. Nakajima had also written Wong's 1992 breakthrough song "Fragile Woman". "Mortal World" was also a hit single and became the closing song with which Wong would end her concerts thereafter. Nakajima re-recorded the song in Japanese as "Streams of Hearts" (清流, Seiryū) on her 1998 album Be Like My Child.
Faye Wong (2001 album)
Faye Wong (王菲) is a 2001 album by Beijing-based singer Faye Wong. The songs are a mixture of pop and rock numbers, including pop rock, techno and electro genres.
It included 11 tracks in Mandarin Chinese and five in Cantonese. The latter provided Wong's most significant release of new Cantonese songs since Toy in 1997.
Faye Wong worked with new partners on this album, including Singaporean singer-songwriter Tanya Chua and Taiwanese rocker Wu Bai.
Track listing
Tracks 1–10 & 16 are in Mandarin Chinese, and 11–15 in Cantonese. Tracks 14 and 15 are Cantonese versions of tracks 4 and 3 respectively.
Reception
Reflecting the varied contributors to the album, reviewers found it a mixed bag. A retrospective review in Singapore's Straits Times mentioned that Wu Bai's techno-rock track "Two Persons' Bible" was "more Wu than Wong". The Cantonese section was considered "more heartening".

Ren Jian / Mortal World
by: Faye Wongfeng yu guo hou bu yi ding
you mei hao de tian kong
bu shi tian qing
jiu hui you cai hong
suo yi ni yi lian wu gu
bu dai biao ni meng dong
bu shi suo you gan qing
dou hui you shi you zong
gu du jin tou bu yi ding huang kong
ke sheng ming zong mian bu liu
zhui chu de yi zhen tong
dan yuan ni de yan jing
zhi kan de dao xiao rong
dan yuan ni liu xia mei yi di lei
dou rang ren gan dong
dan yuan ni yi hou mei yi ge meng
bu hui yi cang kong
tian shang ren jian
ru guo zhen zhi de ge song
ye shi yin wei you ni
cai hui bian de nao hong hong
tian da di da
shi jie bi ni xiang xiang zhong
meng long
wo bu ren xin zai qi hong
dan yuan ni ting de dong
dan yuan ni hui dong
gai he qu he cong
ENGLISH TRANSLATION :
After rainstorm does not necessarily bring perfect sky
A sunny sky doesn't mean there'll be a rainbow
So your innocent doesn't mean that you're ignorant
Not all relationships have beginning and end
Being alone to the end isn't necessarily scary
But Life can never escape the earliest part of pain
May your eyes can only see smiles
May every tear that you drop will move people
May every dream you have later will not be unfulfilled
Mortal world,
if it's really worth praising
Its because there's you
then can it be lively
Vast sky and earth,
the world is blurrier than what you imagined
I can't bear to deceive anymore
May you understand what i'm saying
May you understand
where you should go and proceed
风雨过後不一定有美好的天空
不是天晴就会有彩虹
所以你一脸无辜不代表你懵懂
不是所有感情都会有始有终
孤独尽头不一定惶恐
可生命总免不了最初的一阵痛
但愿你的眼睛只看得到笑容
但愿你流下每一滴泪都让人感动
但愿你以後每一个梦不会一场空
天上人间如果真值得歌颂
也是因为有你才会变得闹哄哄
天大地大世界比你想像中朦胧
我不忍心再欺哄但愿你听得懂
但愿你会懂该何去何从
