Biography

[edit]

Bai Jia-li was born on March 1, 1948 in Lanzhou, Gansu Province. For generations, her family had lived in Dihua (modern-day Ürümqi), Xinjiang.[2] Bai grew up in a military dependents' village (Chinese: 眷村) near the Shuinan Air Force Base (simplified Chinese: 水湳空军基地; traditional Chinese: 水湳空軍基地; pinyin: Shuǐnǎn Kōng Jūn Jīdì) in Taichung, Taiwan. She dropped out of high school due to her parents' divorce and went to Taipei City to participate in a singing competition, where she won first prize.[3] Later, she signed a contract with a Taiwan Television Enterprise to host a singing program, where she set a precedent for interviewing guests in English, Japanese and French, and became known as the "most beautiful program host".[4]

On December 7, 1969, TCTV (Taiwan Television Enterprise, Ltd.) tried out a self-produced color television program with "Stars on Stage" (Chinese: 群星會), which was the first live program in Taiwan's television history to try out a color program signal. Bai sang "A Rose on the Long Shang" in the show's first airing.[5]

In 1977, Bai married Chinese Indonesian businessman Burhan Uray, also known as Huang Shuang-an (simplified Chinese: 黄双安; traditional Chinese: 黃雙安; pinyin: Huáng Shuāng'ān), nicknamed the "King of Timber" (Chinese: 木材大王). She later withdrew from the performing art business to support her husband's developing career.[6][7] In 1979, the pair moved to Indonesia.

Bai has hosted singing shows as "Stars on Stage" and "Galaxy Palace" (Chinese: 銀河璇宮) and has released five albums: "The Endless Wine" (Chinese: 喝不完的酒), "Lovely Stranger" (Chinese: 可愛的陌生人), "Blue Streetcar" (Chinese: 藍色的街車), "See You Again in Dreams" (Chinese: 夢裡再見) and "Love in the Heart" (Chinese: 愛在心裡).[8]

In January 2020, Bai released her autobiography, "Bai Jia-li Looking Back" (Chinese: 回眸), and moved back to Taiwan. She plans to exhibit her paintings and engage in philanthropy instead of returning to the performing arts industry.[9]

Family

[edit]

Bai's father, Bai Quan-zuo (Chinese: 白全佐; pinyin: Bái Quánzuǒ), was a retired air force officer in Taiwan, who introduced light aircraft to the country. He was friends with television personality Chang Fei. His mother has lived in Melbourne and the Gold Coast, Australia. Her sister, Bai Fei-bi (Chinese: 白菲比; pinyin: Bái Fēibǐ), also known as Phoebe Bai, has also worked in the entertainment industry as a journalist and news presenter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
