Recalling those days, Cheng says, "Most people don't understand why Taiwanese singers were so popular in Southeast Asia in the early days, why every time they'd perform to sold-out houses. The main reason is that records produced in Taiwan were the first to get a foothold in the markets there, and the stars followed up quickly. How could they not be popular?"
鄭鎮坤回憶當年的情景說：「一般人並不清楚，為什麼早年台灣歌手在東南亞這麼受歡迎，每次登台都觀眾爆滿，主要原因就是國內生產的唱片早已搶先一步打進當地市場，歌星們乘勝追擊，焉有不受歡迎之理？」
