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世纪70年代后期，有一位明星同时被中国年轻人和他们的父母所喜爱，那就是山口百惠。她非常符合中国文化中的儒家思想：保守、孝顺、传统。她在演艺事业如日中天时退出舞台，和银幕情侣也是银幕外的爱人三浦友和结婚。从那以后她就远离聚光灯，将全部的时间投入到家庭当中。虽然她从舞台中心消失了，但她的歌声却留在了人们心中。
