Chiang Shu-na (born 30 July 1964), also known as Nana Chiang and A-nai, is a Taiwanese singer, television presenter, and actress. Chiang Shu-na is affectionately nicknamed "Third Sister", while her older sister Jody Chiang, an even more famous singer, is nicknamed "Second Sister". The sisters have completely different professional careers: Jody has recorded almost exclusively in Hokkien and Japanese, and Chiang Shu-na mainly sings in Mandarin, but they are very close personally. Growing up in sheer poverty, she and Jody started performing together in restaurants and pubs when she was just 10. This life lasted 5 years.[1]

Chiang Shu-na shot to fame in the 1980s after singing the theme songs of popular TV series Lovers Under the Rain (1986), Deep Garden (1987), and One Side of the Water (1988), all adaptations of Chiung Yao novels. To date Chiang Shu-na has released 19 albums, and won several accolades including Best Female Mandarin Artist at the 2011 Chinese Music Awards. Also a talented television host, she won Golden Bell Award for Best TV Host in a Music/Singing Programme twice, in 2004 and 2007. In addition, Chiang Shu-na has maintained an active acting career not just in Taiwan but also in Hong Kong and mainland China.
