9. Momoe Yamaguchi 山口百惠

In the later part of the 1970’s, there was a star that Chinese youth and their parents both liked – Momoe Yamaguchi. She fit well with the Confucian teachings of Chinese culture: reserved, filial and traditional. She stepped off the stage at the peak of her career and married her lover both on- and off-screen, Tomokazu Miura. She has since remained out of the spotlight and devotes her time to her family. She may have disappeared from the center stage, but her voice remains.

在20世紀70年代后期，有一位明星同時被中國年輕人和他們的父母所喜愛，那就是山口百惠。她非常符合中國文化中的儒家思想：保守、孝順、傳統。她在演藝事業如日中天時退出舞臺，和銀幕情侶也是銀幕外的愛人三浦友和結婚。從那以后她就遠離聚光燈，將全部的時間投入到家庭當中。雖然她從舞臺中心消失了，但她的歌聲卻留在了人們心中。
