Jenny Tseng (Chinese: 甄妮), mostly known in Cantonese-speaking regions as Yan Nei, is a Macau-born singer and actress, based in Hong Kong for much of her career. Her father is Austrian while her mother is Chinese.
Her repertoire includes both Cantonese and Mandarin songs. She recorded several duets with Roman Tam, including music from the 1982 TVB TV series The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
In 1976, she married kung fu movie star Alexander Fu Sheng after having appeared with him in the film New Shaolin Boxers.[1] Fu Sheng died in a 1983 car accident.[1] She had a daughter in 1986,[1] conceived through artificial insemination using her late husband's banked genetic material.[2]
