Kwong Yuk Ling 鄺玉玲was born in Malaysia and was a record star in Singapore and Malaysia in the 1950s and 1960s. Originally from Dapu, but she can't speak Dabu dialect, but Huizhou dialect. Her father is in a tin mining business in Kuala Lumpur. The family doesn't need her help, so she often goes out to sing. She loved singing since she was a child, and she started to join the choir at the age of 14. She rode her own bicycle and walked more than ten miles to the youth choir in the city to sing, singing literary songs such as "Yellow River Cantata". In 1942, during the Japanese colonial era, she came to Singapore to perform at the "Anna" song stage run by her friends. Before the peace, she immigrated to Singapore. At the age of 18, she came to Singapore to get married because she was worried about being invaded by the Japanese.She once served as a school children's singing program with another singer Lin Li on Singapore Radio Station, and later served as "Twin Star Night" in Lai's Voice and the late local artist Fu Shuyun. In the 1950s, in Orchard Road McDonald Building, the first album is "Thinking Song". In addition, she also sang songs such as "Lonely Heart" and "Regret" with singer Tian Mingen. Kuang Yuling went to Hong Kong in 1955 for EMI Records, recorded "Mayflower", "The Love of the Shepherdess", "Listen to You Sing Low", and sang "The Moon is Round" with the red star Yang Guang. In 1969, Singapore Southeast Asia Records was looking for a record producer. Introduced by Tian Mingen, Kuang Yuling began to record many best-selling records for Southeast Asia Records. If she want to say her masterpiece, it should be the Western translation of "The Moonlight Tonight Is Good". In addition to Southeast Asia, she also worked for a period of time at Unified Records in Singapore, and sang in Xianle and Paramount Getai. At that time, there were several "worlds" in Singapore, "big world" was the smallest, and "new world" is the oldest, least happy "happy world". She sang at "Xianle" in "Big World" (amusement ground). Later, due to poor health, all activities stopped, and Kuang Yuling also returned to Kuala Lumpur to enjoy her old age. Although she had limited mobility in the late stage, her children and grandchildren were full of fun. Kuang Yuling died of illness in Kuala Lumpur on December 10, 2018, at the age of 96.
