When Will You Return?

When Will You Return?

"When Will You Return?" (zh-sp|s=何日君再来|p=Hé Rì Jūn Zài Lái) is a song sung by Teresa Teng.

The song became heavily associated with Teng. [http://daily.rsi.sg/story.php?cat=3&id=13] In Mainland China Teng became prominent via the song. Geremie R. Barmé, author of "In the Red: On Contemporary Chinese Culture", described the song as a "nostalgic ode." Barmé said that some individuals on the Mainland condemned the song, describing it as "traitorous" and "pornographic." [Barmé, Geremie R. "In the Red: On Contemporary Chinese Culture". "Columbia University Press". 1999. [http://books.google.com/books?id=kYWmLx9EmWQC&pg=PA125&lpg=PA125&dq=%22When+Will+You+Return%3F%22+Teng&source=web&ots=AqtXWyDYlX&sig=At8spO1JFcQYS7lh5vZ4L5l2duo&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result 125] .]

Memorials for Teng have included performances of "When Will You Return?" [http://www.china.org.cn/english/entertainment/232315.htm]
