In October 2003 I spent a couple of weeks in Beijing and I was taken to a famous tea house accompanied by Professor Lin Maocan and one of his students.
In the tea house, acrobats musicians and comedians performed while we drank tea.One of the last performances was particularly impressive - a group of four musicians played five musical instruments - each one played a different instrument with his left hand and his right.
Then the impresario announced - having performed this incredibly difficult task they will now do the impossible and sing at the same time.
They started singing a song in Chinese and everyone in the audience joined in singing the song.
It was obviously a very popular song.
I later asked Yu Ju, the student who accompanied us, if she could find the words for me. She did - the song was called "Tian Mi Mi" - I looked it up on internet and discovered Deng Li Jun - also known as Teresa Teng.
I decided I would like to learn to sing this song.
