周璇

Zhou Xuan (1920–1957) was a trailblazing Chinese singer and actress whose velvety voice and magnetic charm made her one of the brightest stars of 1930s–40s Shanghai. Known as the “Golden Voice,” she became the face of China’s early pop music scene, blending traditional folk melodies with jazz-inspired arrangements. Her iconic tracks like “The Moon Represents My Heart” (月圓花好) and “Night Shanghai” (新夜上海) became timeless classics, soundtracking an era of glamour and social change. Beyond music, she dazzled in films like *Street Angels* (1937), where her performances blended wit and vulnerability. Despite her glittering career, Zhou faced personal struggles, including health challenges, before her untimely passing at 37. Her songs remain cultural treasures, still sampled by modern artists paying homage to China’s original pop queen.
