Fans have remembered the singer Teresa Teng at a music event in Taiwan to mark 30 years since her death. The Taiwan-born performer was dubbed an "Asian diva" and was also popular in Japan.



Teng's family members and fans attended the memorial concert at a park in New Taipei in northern Taiwan on Thursday. Her grave is located in the park.



They offered incense sticks and flowers at her grave. Indigenous people played her songs with violins and other string instruments.



Teng was known for her many hit songs such as "I only care about you."



She died on May 8, 1995, at the age of 42.



A 30-year-old man from Taichung, central Taiwan, said he felt Teresa Teng was like a family member as he grew up in a single-parent household. He said her songs calm people's hearts.



The participants included Kobori Shotaro, deputy mayor of Mishima Town in the Japanese prefecture of Fukushima. Teng called Mishima her "hometown in Japan."



Kobori said the town hopes to deepen exchanges with Taiwan by cherishing its ties with Teng.
