1946

In 1946, she signed a contract with Pathé Records (China) record company.

For the rest of her recording career, Wu was known under the stage name Yingyin, meaning "voice of an oriole".

Her first record, "I Want to Forget You" (我想忘了你), written by Xu Lang, became a hit.

Within her first three years of signing, Pathé Records produced and released over 30 songs for her.

1955

In 1955 she joined Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station.

1957

She then relocated to Hong Kong in 1957 where she continued recording for Pathé Records.

Among her best known songs are "Spring's Return to Earth" (大地回春), "Heartbreak" (斷腸紅), "I Had a Love" (我有一段情), "The Bright Moon Sends My Love Across a Thousand Miles" (明月千里寄相思), "Fine Spring Night" (好春宵), and "Chance Meeting of Strangers" (萍水相逢).

She was affectionately nicknamed "Queen of the Nasal Voice" (鼻音歌后).

1984

In July 1984, she moved from Hong Kong to Pasadena, California.

Wu was born in Ningbo to an intellectual family with her father a chemical engineer and mother a gynaecologist.

She grew up in Shanghai and enjoyed singing to radio tunes at an early age.

She originally wanted to go to the Shanghai Academy of Music, but her parents opposed the idea as they had wanted her to study medicine and criticized her for lacking ambition.

When she was 15 or 16, to work around her parents' disapproval, she began performing under the stage name, Qian Yin (錢茵), on the weekends for a Shanghai radio station singing children's songs.

She performed in secret and was unpaid for a few years.

Wu had a soft singing voice that made her a success.

Buzz later went around about this new singer, although Wu's father did not realize that it was his own daughter's voice he heard on the radio.

Vocally, Wu was largely self-taught, although later she learned some vocal techniques from a male singer, Xu Lang (徐朗).

At the age of 24, she participated in a singing competition at Ciro's (仙樂斯) nightclub, performing a song by Bai Hong, and won the crown.

She then performed regularly at various dance halls and nightclubs, such as Ciro's and the Paramount in Shanghai, garnering acclaim for her performances.
