Singer Chen Ming: Not the same old song (5)

Guangzhou's China Record Co signed her in 1994 and released her first album. It was then the largest and oldest State audio and video publishing group.

"I still remember traveling across the country by train to promote the album," she recalls.

"I was 24, and everything was so new and interesting. I didn't matter if I made it or not - I was loving the journey."

Three best-selling albums in, Chen got married and decided to take a break. It was 1998.
