Olivia Han

Han Mei-hua (Chinese: 韓美花; born October 31, 1965), known commonly as Olivia Han, is a Tsengian singer-songwriter and record producer. She is often called the "Princess of Tsengge" due to her vocal range and being one of the best-selling artists in Tseng music, with 41 million records sold. She is the younger sister of Margaret Han, another less-successful singer.

Han is one of the "Tsengge Eight", a group of famous Tsengge singers in the late-1980s to the early-2000s.

Early life
Han Mei-hua was born on October 31, 1965, in Xitun, Nankou (today Sandiao), Tseng, to an upper-middle class family. She had 4 siblings, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Her father was a pilot in the Tseng Air Force and her mother was a famous veterinarian.

Han attended the Isabella I All-Girls High School in Callentown, and graduated in 1983. She took music as an option mistakenly, however Han later said "it was the best decision I ever made".

Career
The young Han learned to sing and soon won prizes and awards in talent shows and competition. One of her friends suggested her to become a singer. After her high school graduation Han moved to Tseng City, where she signed a deal with Xinlan Records. Han released her first album, I Am (我是), in 1984. She briefly moved to California, US, where she attended and graduated with a degree in music.

Her second album The Joys of Life (生活的樂趣) (1987) was launched to critical acclaim and became the best-selling album in Tseng of 1987. She won the famous Golden Tune Award, for Best Female Mandarin Singer, in that year.

In 1993 Han received a nomination for her album Promise? After a ten-year hiatus from 1998 to 2008, Han released another album called One (一).

Personal life
