About Su Rui
Born 1952. Su Rui is a Taiwanese singer.
Su Rui (; born 13 June 1952) is a Taiwanese singer. In 1968, Su Rui skipped class to participate in a singing competition and was selected, joining the Zero Chorus to sing Western pop songs, and began her singing career. Later, she joined the Action Choir, named Julie in English. In 1971, she graduated from high school and began to perform at the Qingquangang American Army Club (CCK) in Taichung with Yingying Huang and they became friends. In 1973, she became the first female singer in residence at the Taipei Hilton. She was recommended to perform at the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong, singing in Hong Kong for 3 years. Before becoming a singer, Su Rui wanted to be a physical education teacher. At that time, she was good at track and field and basketball, so she hoped to be a teacher and teach students.
Her song "The Same Moonlight" (; 1983) first propelled her from an unknown to a singing sensation in Taiwan overnight when it was released in 1983. She is also known for her hit "Any Empty Wine Bottles For Sale" , the widely popular soundtrack to the Taiwanese film Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing. Her popularity in Asia was equated with that of counterpart Teresa Teng, when her hit song "Follow Your Feelings" became hugely popular in the late 1980s.
Su released her album That's How Love Came (愛就這麼來) in 1998. She experienced a new surge of popularity during 1998 and 1999, when one of the songs from this album, "Appearance" (容顏), was featured as the ending theme song to the Channel 8 TV drama series, Legend of the Crow . This album also featured a duet with A-Mei, "River" (河), a tribute to Chang Yu-sheng who had just passed away the year before.
In 2018, Su received the Special Contribution Award at the 29th Golden Melody Awards for her achievement in Mandopop music.
