That Asang whose voice had flowed into the youth of countless people more than ten years ago would have been 43 years old today.
Regarding "Asan", you must have heard of this name more or less. To those born in the 1990s, she is the crooner on the streets in the green era, and the tapes and CDs secretly hidden in the desk and shared after class.
These memories may have faded, but they can all reappear when hearing a familiar melody again.
In January 2005, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was released and became popular all over the country.
This classic has become a fond memory of countless people's childhood. It made us indulge in the heart-stirring stories of Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru many times that year.
However, no one ever thought that "Xianyi" in 2005 would become the originator of the numerous fairy tale dramas today. We never predicted that this slightly hoarse and melancholy voice that gave the entire Fairy Sword soul would leave us in just four years.
In April 2009, Taiwanese singer Ah Sang died of breast cancer in Taipei at the age of 34.
Just like the character Lin Yueru in the play interpreted in this song "Always Quiet", she left to save the lives of Xiaoyao and Ling'er, and she left after telling their story.
Until the end, this woman who was born with a hoarse voice, a magnetic voice that exaggerates sadness, never became famous. Maybe you've heard her songs but don't know her.
Compared with today's singers who have millions of fans, instead of saying that Ah Sang is a star, it is better to just mention her as a simple confidant:
has no dazzling appearance, mediocre qualifications, "late bloomer", and unfortunate childhood...
Many people say that Asang's life is miserable. In fact, if you listen to her songs, you will understand that her sadness is not Guo Jingming's pointless moaning of looking up to the sky at 45 degrees, but the calmness and calmness of Qianfan's absolute analysis of life.

Ah Sang does seem to reflect the dark side of the glamorous entertainment industry: it is those people who rely on their own efforts and efforts to appear in the public eye.
Because her life is not even ordinary happiness, but full of misfortune and depression.
Asang, who was born in 1975, was grateful for the fact that other people's children's childhoods were soaked in the sweetness of honey. She only wanted a safe environment with food and clothing.
In her memory, her parents were full of quarreling faces and harsh words. The wandering and uncertainty of her childhood shaped her sensitive and tolerant character. Working part-time while studying, he gritted his teeth and refused to ask for tuition fees from his family when he had no money. He did enough work that a teenager could do to supplement the family income.
Tenacity and quietness have run through Asang's life, and are vividly expressed in her songs:
participates in art performances, acts as a host, introduces singers, then puts on costumes to accompany the dancers, and then puts on show clothes and sings by herself.
Even though life has never been kind to her, the twenty-year-old woman is still full of light and heat. Ah Sang continued to hone and grow little by little, and finally someone approached her to record a demo, as if God had finally opened a door for her efforts. But fate was ruthless, and accidents still made her efforts in vain.
It seems that most people should give up at this point, but Asang still waited for her to bloom.
In 2003, a hoarse and melancholy song called "Leaves" filled the streets and alleys of all cities. In the same year, Asang finally made his official debut with his first album "A Little Hurt".
Almost overnight, she became the voice of lonely women in the city. Thousands of souls soothed by her hoarse, magnetic and emotional voice have remembered the name "Ah Sang".
At the press conference, she personally mixed a glass of bitter melon juice with a cocktail called ", after all the hardship, the sweetness comes, " and drank it in one gulp. The audience burst into applause, but her eyes were wet.
All this is not easy to come by.

Some people say that if there is a label for Assan, it must be "sad".
After two years, she returned to the music scene with " Lonely Singing ".As always, the theme of the song is emotion and melancholy.

But I can never have a name
. This girl who does not have amazing beauty and hot figure, but sings quietly, silently makes the listeners feel the warmth that soothes their hearts in her works.
But even a typical tragic singer still has sunshine in his heart.
Just as in a difficult situation, no one would "sorrow her misfortune but never argue with her anger", she has always been indifferent to the harsh and harsh life and even had a positive and optimistic attitude.
Even if fate plays tricks on me and deceives me, I will still sing in return.
This is what she thought and what she did.
In 2007, Ah Sang was diagnosed with the spread of cancer cells in his body, which had reached a point of no return. At this time, she was actively preparing for her third album, which has not yet been released.
Before she could become famous and achieve her ideals for the future, she was forced to turn to saving lives.
did not tell any relatives or friends, so he squeezed the subway to go to the hospital for chemotherapy alone, and even went to Beijing alone. When the morphine reached the point where it could no longer relieve the pain, Asang said briskly to the doctor: You don’t have to overdose me, I’m afraid I’ll become addicted after I recover.
She really wanted to live a good life. She also wanted to write a book, and wanted to go to the United States to listen to pure American English. "Then I can try singing English songs."
However, God did not give her a chance to realize her wish. , Asang left anyway.
After hearing the sad news, countless people sincerely remembered this girl whose singing directly touched the soul and who worked in a low-key manner. In the first half of her life, she tasted all the sufferings in the world, and finally found happiness after suffering, but she ended her short life hastily like this.
Not only Ah Sang was unwilling to give in, but so many people who cherished listening to her were also heartbroken.

I once heard a friend of the same age say, "Five years later, I still have "Always Quiet" in the memory card of my mobile phone."
However, what many people don't know is that while Japanese songs have been widely covered and filled with lyrics, they have become Mandarin. , as a counterexample, a Japanese song translated from Chinese is very popular in the island country on the other side of the coast.

Many friends have left heart-warming comments about Assan who went to heaven. They said:
A song, a story, she sang it It's herself.
You said that you often feel lonely when you are alone, but it is rare to see someone brave enough to admit your loneliness like you. So you sang loneliness into a song, and people who dared not admit it sought relief from your singing.
After listening to her songs, even if my heart is not at peace, I will calm down.
If she were still around now, she might not be a big hit, but she would definitely be able to soothe people's hearts.
This sound can penetrate your ears and wrap your heart. You feel comforted in the first moment, but after listening to it for a long time, you will feel that it actually has no warmth. But many people will heal their scars in her singing, because it is really calm and soft.
She is not popular, but her voice remains to this day.
I was sad for a long time when I learned that Asang was gone.
...
In the countless mottled shadows, we all remember that in the youth of the post-90s generation, there was a name named Asang.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been popular for more than ten years, and the song "Always Quiet" made countless people cry.
It's strange that she has been gone for so long, but it seems like she has never completely disappeared from this world. Just like her song, the years are speechless, immersed in silence, and has always been quietly by her side.
Asan admitted:
"I often feel very lonely. But it is rare to see someone like me who bravely admits that he is lonely. In fact, no matter how happy people are, they cannot escape the emptiness eroded by loneliness. I hope everyone Everyone can face their loneliness honestly. When you listen to my song, you will find that you are not alone. I hope everyone can live a strong and beautiful life. "
I still remember those years when we were there. Zhang Yang is like a little beast, but now he has grown into an adult.
Asang is gone, youth is gone, but the wheel of time keeps moving forward.
I hope we can all live strong and beautiful lives like she said.
You may feel lonely, but you have to know that you are never alone.
—End—
