Tian Zhen (born 2 May 1966) is a Chinese rock singer from Beijing.
Early life[edit]
On May 2, 1966, Tian Zhen was born in Beijing to Dai Li and Tian Zhenhua. Both of her parents were members of the army — her father as a soldier, and her mother as a solo singer. Tian is the youngest of four children, with three elder brothers.[1]
Tian is an alum of The Affiliated High School of Peking University.
Career[edit]
She has described Tina Turner as her favorite singer. Unlike her female Chinese vocalist predecessors, she writes and composes her own songs.[2]
Tian is regarded as one of the three greatest female singers of her generation, along with Mao Amin and Na Ying. Tian's hits include Perseverance (执着), Cheers, Mate (干杯，朋友), What a big tree (好大一棵树), The girl from Ali Mountain (阿里山的姑娘), Night Stand (水姻缘), and Roses in the storms and rainbows (风雨彩虹铿锵玫瑰).
Personal life[edit]
Tian married her manager Zhang Weining.[3] They have no children.
Tian suffered from thrombocytopenia, a serious blood disease around 2006.[4]
