Huangmei diao, a style of singing in Mandarin, was very popular among overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, and Tang, a film buff, was able to sing all the huangmei diao parts from films. Consequently, her father was able to get her a job on the tour doing "backstage vocal accompaniment."
愛看電影的她，每部電影的黃梅調全本都會唱，父親於是幫她爭取到「幕後代唱」的工作，隨團出國公演。
