    When I was a kid, I remember watching a Chinese movie (can't remember if it was in Mandarin or Cantonese) about a young country girl who grew up from the slum of the city to become a huge pop singer. I think the movie was released in the mid-80s and it was a huge box office hit.

    The theme song is in Mandarin so I suspect it's a Taiwanese film. The song begins with a Ming-Nan-Hua/Hokkien/Fuchien phrase...sounds something like "chew khiam cum boy bo" ....and then the rest of the song is in Mandarin.

    Does anyone remember this movie???

    I think the series might be Song Bird 天涯歌女 with Nadia Chan.

    Volkly, thanks for the response.

    I think it's a movie, not a TV-series!
