Zhang Qiang (Chinese: 张蔷; born 1967), also known as Rose Zhang, is a Chinese singer who started her career in the mid-1980s. She is known as the Chinese Disco Queen because of her covers of western disco songs in her early period. She is also noted for being maybe the first Mainland Chinese pop singer in a time when foreign musical influences were limited, and when the artists from Taiwan and Hong Kong were the most popular in China.[1]
