王新蓮

王新蓮 (Wang Xinlian) is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter who rose to prominence in the 1980s as part of Taiwan’s influential campus folk music movement. Known for her warm, introspective vocals and poetic lyrics, she became a defining voice of the era alongside collaborators like 鄭怡 (Zheng Yi) and 馬宜中 (Ma Yizhong). Her music often blended folk sincerity with a touch of wanderlust, perfectly captured in her iconic 1987 duet "往天涯的盡頭單飛" ("Flying Solo to the Ends of the Earth"), a nostalgic anthem about parting ways and chasing dreams.

While details about her later career are sparser, her early work remains cherished for its emotional resonance and contribution to shaping Taiwan’s New Folk sound. Tracks like "安全界線" ("Safety Line") and "如果你不認識我" ("If You Don’t Know Me") showcase her knack for weaving personal storytelling with universal themes, leaving a lasting imprint on Mandarin pop’s evolution.
