1979 At the beginning of this year, Teresa Teng planned to marry her boyfriend Lin Zhenfa, who had been in love for five years. Unfortunately, Lin Zhenfa died of a heart attack again. The tragedy hit Teresa Teng hard. She thought she had been happy all her life. Therefore, Teresa Teng was depressed for a period of time, until 65438+February, when Japanese Polaroid Company invited her to perform in Japan again.
On 1979 12 15, Teresa Teng had to go to Taiwan Province province to deal with some urgent matters, and then transferred to Japan on the same day. According to the transit regulations at that time, she could not leave for Japan on the same day after arriving in Taiwan Province Province. In this case, Teresa Teng remembered 1978 that when she was performing in Indonesia, the director of the Indonesian Immigration Bureau gave her an Indonesian passport to facilitate her to enter and leave Indonesia. So she decided to fly from Taiwan Province Province to Japan with an Indonesian passport. However, a reporter from Taiwan Province Province found her registered Indonesian passport at Taoyuan Airport in Taiwan Province Province that day and decided that she had become an Indonesian citizen. 1979 12 16 in the morning, China times in Taiwan Province province published a news article entitled "Singer Teresa Teng arrived in Tokyo from Taiwan Province last night, and his passport shows that he has been naturalized in Indonesia". The news distributed a photo of Teresa Teng signing his fans' names with an Indonesian passport in the waiting room, which made everyone more convinced of the truth of the news. It is this press release with only a few hundred words that triggered the "fake passport incident" in Teresa Teng.
The Indonesian Embassy in Japan soon got the news, but they didn't know that Teresa Teng had obtained an Indonesian passport a year ago, so they denied that Teresa Teng had an Indonesian legal passport. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs verified by the customs that Teresa Teng entered the country late at night on February 15 and was inspected with a new Indonesian passport. Soon, the Japanese Immigration Bureau found Teresa Teng's residence in Harajuku, Tokyo by contacting Polaroid files. Teresa Teng, who was going to perform in Shinjuku, was controlled by a group of Japanese policemen.
12 18 in the morning, many Japanese media reported that Teresa Teng was detained by the Japanese Immigration Bureau because of the "fake passport incident". Subsequently, the media in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines reported that Teresa Teng was detained by the Japanese Immigration Bureau. After Teresa Teng's "fake passport incident" was publicly exposed by the media in East Asia and Southeast Asia, her hometown of Taipei was also in an uproar. Many Taiwan Province media accused Teresa Teng of "treason", but some wanted to speak for Teresa Teng, but they felt powerless because they could not grasp the real situation and favorable evidence of Teresa Teng in Tokyo. For a time, all kinds of voices filled the whole media world.
During Teresa Teng's detention, the Indonesian Immigration Bureau reported to the Indonesian Embassy in Japan the ins and outs of the Indonesian Immigration Bureau's initiative to issue her a passport, but the embassy's response was shameful, and they refused to investigate and admit their mistakes. In terms of public opinion, the media in various countries have published a lot of reports and comments on the "fake passport incident", and some people have publicly accused Polaroid Company of failing to protect its invited singers and the inaction of the Indonesian Embassy in Japan.
Under the strong pressure of public opinion, on the morning of February 23rd, 65438, Teresa Teng was detained for the seventh day! The Indonesian Immigration Bureau sent an urgent telegram to the Indonesian Embassy in Japan. This information is very simple, but it clarifies the mystery of "fake passport" that has been debated for seven days: "... the passport held by China singer Teresa Teng was verified by our bureau 1978 ... and now it is confirmed." According to this news, the Japanese Immigration Bureau decided that Teresa Teng's Indonesian passport was genuine, but it was obtained illegally, so at 3: 30 pm that day, Teresa Teng, who was detained in the detention center, was released and will be deported at the same time. In Taiwan Province Province, many people reprimanded and slandered her, and some authorities leaders thought that she had lost face and did not welcome her back. Teresa Teng, who regained his freedom, didn't know what to do at this time. When Japan and Taiwan Province Province refused to accept her, Teresa Teng flew directly from Japan to the United States with mental trauma.
