In Chinese music circles, Tsai Chin, or Cai Qin, enjoys an alternative reputation as a classic.

Tsai achieved instant fame as singer with Just like your gentleness . She has become known for her unsophisticated, calm and hurried singing voice, as well as her elegant performance style while attracting fans of varied ages. Her gentle and implicit singing invokes a warm and serene dream-like sense for listeners. Some of her interpretations -- especially folk songs -- though not original renditions, are well remembered.

Her song Forgotten Time was used in the fashionable Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs highlighting the entire film. The gentle prelude gradually strengthens within the song, thanks to her angelic voice. It's as if forgotten times from the good old days are being rediscovered and etched in time as the melody lingers.

Tsai has enjoyed public praise in many music circles. Her glamourous, unique and infectious voice and the classic romantic feeling her songs produce, allow her fans to enter a distant yet familiar and warm world. Among her most ardent fans, her discs are usually considered brilliant testimony to her vocal ability.
