She felt isolated and trapped and smothered, but everything he was giving her was something she had always wanted; only, it was too concentrated, a lifetime of missing love and attention crammed into one long weekend.
Kuelan Nguyen and her husband Jacques Higelin. When Iggy Pop and David Bowie met her, composed "China Girl", a song that Iggy included in his album "The idiot" (1977). David Bowie included the song on his 1983 album "Let's Dance."
Kuelan Nguyen, the China Girl of the song (though she is Vietnamese).
The girl who appears in Bowie's video is Geeling Ching, New Zealander. She was 23 years old and a waitress at a cafe in Sydney, Australia, when she was chosen to star in the video.
Geeling said the video and the brief romance she had with Bowie in the 1980s were like a surreal dream that changed her life.
I am rising all the time, I’ve become one with the sun… I kissed the night sky, as I’ve have fallen in love in this darkness. The stars continue to sparkle for me. My love affair with creation has always been my greatest asset.

Okay, we've arrived! Our date today is going to be here! A limited-time super lively festival!
There are many cute little stalls. They have all kinds of games.
The idea is that it’s simple and we can have fun playing together.
Some of the games require us to work together, which is a great way to bring us closer together.
That one’s Whac-A-Mole and these ones are shooting gallery and ring toss.
And then… Without a doubt, the games I recommend are definitely the batting and throwing games over there in the back!
The prizes for both are guaranteed to be great and they’re related to safe and secure baseball~
So, which one do you want to start with? You don’t need to follow my recommendation, of course.
Don't worry about it and choose whatever you like.
You want to try the batting game? You’re so sweet.
(internal monologue) Oh, no! The date has just begun, but my heart won't be able to take it if this continues. Saying things like “I want to see how cool you look”, my lover is too cute!
Oh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about how lucky I am.
Let's get going.
I’m fired up! It’s the same feeling as standing in the batter's box with all the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning.
I’ll do it perfectly!
There are three different prizes, which one do you want?
Understood!
That's the prize in the middle, right?
I'm going to put my pride on the line and challenge myself to win it in one fell swoop!
(grabs the bat)
Bring it on! I said I’m going to smash it…!
(hits the ball)
Alright! Hit!
A huge home run that hits the ceiling!
The lead is taken away from the opposing team with a single hit!
It’s a beautiful shot by the player Kiryuin which captured people's hearts! Just kidding.
I’m glad it was a hit with you too. What a beautiful smile.
(clears throat)
It’s time for the second shot.
Here goes!
(hits the ball)
Nice hit!
Don't be impressed just yet. There’s still one more!
(hits the last ball and the listener claps)
If it’s for you, getting three hits in a row is no big deal!
How was that? Am I the MVP to you today?
“It’s like you aimed and shot at my heart?”
That line… By any chance, did you borrow it from me?
You used it perfectly!
It’s just that… the way you said it and the smile on your face are a big problem…
I’ll hurry up and give you the prize before your cuteness makes me quit in the middle.
Now, please accept this as something to remember today by.
One is the prize you wanted, the other two are a bonus from me. Because you made me feel super happy, so this is to express my gratitude.
Hey, can I tell you something?
You've been way too cute all this time.
Especially if you show me a defenseless expression like just now so easily, it might make me lose my reason and do something naughty…
(hugs the listener)
If I’m hugging you like this, I can’t see you, so I’ll be able to control myself more easily.
No! Don’t let go. Stay like this.
You should be a little more aware of what you're doing to me.
Every word and gesture from you, no matter how trivial, looks incredibly dazzling to me. I am at your mercy.
And on top of that, you are doing your best to get my attention? I welcome it fully, of course.
Your braveness touches me and makes me fall even more in love with you.
Either way, the end result is the same.
I’ll spoil you plenty and love you until you say you’ve had enough.
