Dong Wenhua (b. June 29th, 1962) is a famous Chinese singer from the People's Liberation Army. "Moon of the Fifteenth", "Story of the Spring", as well as many other songs of hers were popular to the youth generation of the 80's and the early 90's. China's Ministry of Culture has dedicated an award in her name.
The Dong people are located in the middle of one of the oldest cultures on earth, and have borrowed, with or without knowing, from centuries of exposure to Chinese culture.
Dong architecture is the voice to pass down the stories, beliefs, and history of the Dong culture.
Dong elders keep the tradition alive to a small number of people, but the architecture is the public record for all to see.
To the Chinese, she is Dame Vera Lynn and Sir Cliff Richard combined, a beloved older sister to troops serving from the steppes of Inner Mongolia to the jungles of Yunnan, and the wholesome idol of millions of patriotic pensioners.
DongWenhua is, without a doubt, the queen of the genre, performing her hits with unforced enthusiasm in a variety of tailored uniforms.
DongWenhua is rarely at home in Beijing, leaving her husband, Zhang Nan, a film editor with the Song and Dance Ensemble, to look after their home and five-year-old son, Zhang Zhaonian.
