This year marks the seventh anniversary of the death of the famous singer Yao Beina. Senior media person Fan Hongtao interviewed Yao Beina's parents, friends, teachers and fans, and truly reproduced Yao Beina's short but wonderful life -

After more than a year of interviews and writing, Fan Hongtao completed "Yao Beina: A Girl Singing with Life". On September 26 this year, Yao Beina's 41st birthday, and the book was published as scheduled. Not long ago, Fan Hongtao was interviewed by a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily and said: "Yao Beina has so many shining points worth remembering. This is my motivation for writing. If readers can use this book to remember the stars of 'na' people' and 'na' things, I would be enough."

rejected

interview. It was touching the unfathomable pain point of Yao's father and mother

Yao Beina left, and the end of her life, who was only 33 years old, was frozen at 16:55 on January 16, 2015.

At that moment, Yao Beina's father Yao Feng and mother Li Xinmin were stunned outside the ward, and tears burst out from her eyes. Li Xinmin stared at Yao Beina's clean and bloodless face while crying. Yao Feng also sobbed and muttered: "Little girl, my little girl, you are so beautiful!"

Until now, if Yao's father and mother talk about the past of their daughter Yao Beina's life, they will still burst into tears. This is also the most tangled thing about the biographer Fan Hongtao. As a friend of Yao’s father for many years, he was afraid that the wounds in their hearts would be torn open again and again due to interviews. In 2019, Fan Hongtao accompanied them to the Shenzhen Sports Center to watch the concert. Yao's mother suddenly said, "Since Benna left, I have been to the pop concert for the first time today." Then she entered the infield and looked at the crowded audience. Yao's mother said, "Oh, Benna lacks such a personal concert." Fan Hongtao didn't know how to answer, "For a mother who lost her beloved daughter, any words of comfort are pale and powerless."

Just shortly after Yao Beina passed away, Fan Hongtao once asked Yao's father and mother if he could publish a book for Yao Beina and write down her life story. But what Yao’s father and mother are most worried and taboo is that this may make others mistakenly think that they are hyping up their daughter. The two of them politely declined the matter, and Fan Hongtao expressed his understanding and did not insist on this idea anymore.

In 2020, Xia Deyuan, a senior brother in the publishing industry, re-recommended the old story. He once again hoped to publish a book for Yao Beina and encouraged Fan Hongtao to ask Yao’s father and mother about his ideas. After many years, Yao’s father and mother’s ideas have also changed. They hoped that their daughter’s experience could be left in the world, so they agreed to publish a book.

During the 2021 Spring Festival holiday, Fan Hongtao went to Shenzhen to interview Yao’s father and mother. According to his recollection, the entire interview was drowned in tears, especially when Yao Ma mentioned her daughter, she kept crying. She once mentioned that when Yao Beina was doing chemotherapy in Beijing, she felt sorry for her daughter but did not dare to cry in front of her, so she could only hide in the bathroom and she cried silently. If you mention Yao Beina's last days, memorial service, burial and other details, you will be even more heartbroken, and the three of them will always cry.

Starting on December 3, 2014, Yao Beina's condition turned sharply and she fell into a drowsiness. Three days later, Yao Beina suddenly became awake and chatted and laughed with everyone. Li Xinmin asked her what the most wanted to accomplish as a singer was, and Yao Beina immediately replied: "Mom, if a pop singer doesn't have a special concert of her own, she can't be called a pop singer. This is what I have always wanted to do.I think this is my regret. I have never held a concert of my own. "After a while, Yao Beina also talked to them about the topic of life and death separation, and decided to donate her cornea.

Fan Hongtao believes that the interview was touching the unfathomable pain points of Yao's father and mother. "Every time I get here, I always feel deeply guilty and can't bear to ask in detail."

At first, Fan Hongtao and Yao's father and mother agreed that the presentation of this book was a self-description, telling the story of their daughter from the perspective of parents, narrowing the distance with readers. After the first draft was completed, Yao's father and mother felt that this form was inappropriate. Even if they talked about their own daughter, the "degree" was not easy to grasp. "Some words were said and thought they were blowing. Awesome, but if you don’t explain it clearly, you can’t reflect the value of Yao Beina.” Therefore, the three decided to overturn the first draft, Fan Hongtao re-interviewed it, and wrote in the third person.

In April 2021, Fan Hongtao began to interview Yao Beina’s friends, teachers and a large number of fans, and began writing for eight months. Yao’s father and mother proofread the manuscript several times during this process and checked the information of each chapter. They hoped that this biography can be published on Yao Beina’s birthday on September 26, 2022. When Yao’s father saw the biography, he said to Fan Hongtao: “The book we can leave for our daughter is this book. "

Shell

She once said that she hoped that by the age of 80,

could continue to sing loudly

"Shell", which is the nickname of Yao Beina's fans. Before Fan Hongtao came into contact with "Shell", he inevitably thought that they were no different from the fans he met when he was an entertainment reporter. But when he saw the various behaviors of "Shells", he had a great improvement in his understanding.

Fan Hongtao first came into contact with "Shells" at Yao Beina's farewell ceremony. On January 20, 2015, many "Shells" spontaneously went to Shenzhen to bid farewell to Yao Beina. "This is the largest number of people in the memorial service I attended. Except for people in the entertainment and music circles, most of them are ‘shells’, with crowds of people but orderly. I saw them again for the second time on September 26 of the same year, Yao Beina's 34th birthday. That day, the completion and unveiling ceremony of Yao Beina’s memorial cemetery and the sculpture were held at Wuhan Shimen Peak Memorial Park. Most of the people who attended the ceremony were also ‘Shell’, with a total of more than 500 people. "Fan Hongtao recalled. During the writing process of

, Fan Hongtao had in-depth contact with more "shells" and felt their love for Yao Beina more deeply. To this day, many "shells" will go to her commemorative cemetery to visit her tomb on Yao Beina's important day; Yao Beina's personal Weibo, which has been suspended for 7 years, still have their comments and likes; Yao Beina's post bar and "Na's Fungi" information websites are both updated.

, and among them, many "shells" are in Yao Beina After her death, she joined the group. Some people were moved by her singing, some people liked her because of her life experience, and some people were moved by her kindness in donating corneas to her... "Shells" still remember a heartfelt word that Yao Beina once said to them. On April 26, 2014, Yao Beina won the Best Female Singer Award at an award ceremony, and stood on the stage to thank "Shells" for their unyielding resignation. She said: "I hope that when I was 80 years old, even if I might not have a good tooth, I could continue to sing loudly. "

And on November 27, 2014, Yao Beina's last Weibo post said to her "shells": "I have been lying for nearly a month now and now I really want to sing. The feeling of being sick is really bad. I hope I get better soon and my smile will naturally bloom like the picture. Although it is getting very slow, it is getting better after all. Don’t worry, please wait until I’m full of blood and come back to life. "To this day, there are still many "shells" on this Weibo post to check in every day to greet her who is in heaven. When Fan Hongtao interviewed, due to the epidemic, he mostly communicated online or telephone conversations. Among them, he also met a "shell" nicknamed "Time Passerby", who believes that "Time Passerby" is the most persistent. "Time Passerby" has never seen Yao Beina himself. Influenced by his mother who paid attention to Yao Beina because of watching "The Voice of China", he became "Shex".After Yao Beina was buried in Shimenfeng, he must rush from Guangzhou to Wuhan to pay tribute on the legal festivals and Yao Beina's birthday and death day.

In addition, the "Beike" have also insisted on charity activities for a long time and established "Beike Charity Library" in many places. In December 2015, the first "Shell Charity Library" was completed. As of the end of 2018, the "Shells" have successively built 88 libraries in Yunnan, Guizhou, Xinjiang and other places. In an interview with our reporter, Fan Hongtao frequently sighed that they are very kind and very friendly.

choose

even if it doesn't go up

, you must put it beautifully

Many "shells" are because of the "Voice of China" that have begun to fall in love with Yao Beina. Fan Hongtao believes that the "Voice of China" is an important choice in her life, and thus reached the peak of her singing career.

Fan Hongtao disclosed that the producer of "The Voice of China" invited Yao Beina when preparing for the first season of the program. However, Yao’s father and mother didn’t agree, especially Yao Feng, who believed that “The Voice of China” was just a talent show. Yao Beina was already the champion of the “Youth Song Competition” at that time, so why should she participate in the variety show again? Yao Feng said to Yao Beina, "Little girl, don't go."

Just like everyone has a conflict when making a choice at the fork in life, Yao Beina needs to make a choice, whether to go or not, she repeatedly considered it three times and finally chose to give up.

Although Yao Feng is a research expert in pop music, among the students he taught himself, Week Bichang debuted through talent shows, and he recognized high-level singers Tan Weiwei and Zhang Liangying also stood out from the talent show. But he still believes in his heart that a competition like the "Youth Song Competition" that does not have sound editing and relies entirely on real skills is the serious attitude of singing. However, after the first season of "The Voice of China" was broadcast, Yao Feng's attitude changed. After seeing the singer Ping'an singing "I Love You, China", he sighed repeatedly, thinking that the "Voice of China" can be called a variety show that sings seriously.

In the summer of 2013, Yao Beina appeared on the "Voice of China" stage in the second season. "The sea is endless, and I can't see where the end is..." Yao Beina sang "Maybe Tomorrow" during the blind selection session. Na Ying , Wang Feng , Zhang Huimei , Harlem Yu turned one after another. Zhang Huimei commented: "I heard you are singing with your life."

Since then, "Maybe Tomorrow" has frequently appeared in Yao Beina's performances. Many viewers are looking forward to her singing this song, while Yao's mother is a little worried that she will have problems with her voice. However, Yao Beina said confidently: "Mom, it doesn't matter. Don't worry, this voice has grown in my body." The

talent show requires you to pass the level step by step to advance to the top. When describing the "Voice of China" competition, Fan Hongtao titled "The Road to Breakthrough is Rising". In the end, Yao Beina was eliminated, and she once asked herself to "even if she didn't go up, she must go down beautifully." Fan Hongtao admitted that on the stage of "China's Voice", her defeat had nothing to do with singing. After the

competition, the "Voice of China" was like a double-edged sword, which made Yao Beina famous, but also made her work intensity dramatically increase, overdrawing Yao Beina's health.

Bole

No matter how you praise Yao Beier, it is not too much

She is the best

On April 2011, Yao Beina was diagnosed with breast cancer. When the doctor told her that she needed a mastectomy and needed chemotherapy, she did not hesitate, did not discuss with her family, and made a decision immediately.

On May 31, 2011, Yao Beina underwent surgery, so she called June 1 her "rebirth day". After the operation, Yao Beina also said: "That scar is my unique medal."

During the treatment, Yao Beina did not stop singing. At that time, Liu Huan was responsible for composing the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and composed a total of six songs, including five female solos, all of which were sung by Yao Beina.Yao Beina recorded the four songs "Bodhisattva Man", "Character Lotus", "Golden Clothes", and "Surprising Dance" in one afternoon, and then went to re-record the theme song "Red Beauty Tribulation". Liu Huan witnessed the skills of "Yao Yibian" that is widely praised in the industry, "Yao Beina will pass it once in the recording studio."

Liu Huan met Yao Beina and recommended it through the famous musician Laozai . Laozi, who was known as the "No. 1 guitarist in South China" in his early years, claimed to be Yao Beina's earliest "shell". In 2003, after accidentally hearing Yao Beina's singing, Laozi bluntly said that this was the best singing he had heard since he arrived in Beijing. Afterwards, he always consciously gave Yao Beina many singing opportunities and took her to meet more musicians. For example, when Lao Zai composed the song for the TV series "Romantic Things", he asked Yao Beina to sing a song without words. Since then, she has recorded background music for dozens of film and television dramas such as "There Are Nine Phoenixes in the Family", "Iron Pear Blossoms", and "The Great Founding of the Party", so she has won the nickname "Hum Na".

Yao Beina respectfully called Laozai "master". As a "shell", Laozai once said to Fan Hongtao: "No matter how you praise Yao Beier, it is not too much. She is the best." Fan Hongtao repeatedly emphasized that Laozai is a musician who is born with a Bole temperament. During the interview, the people who interviewed the most were Laozi and Tan Weiwei. These two impressed Fan Hongtao the most, "They have a very sincere relationship with Yao Beina."

Tan Weiwei and Yao Beina met because of Laozi. In 2004, in the musical "Sands" where Sanbao was the chief director, composer and producer, Yao Beina was the heroine. Laozi recommended Tan Weiwei to the crew as the heroine. The two of them performed in different scenes in roles AB. The two quickly established a deep friendship.

In Yao Beina's last days, Tan Weiwei received a message from a friend that "Yao Beina's condition worsened". She immediately sent a message to Yao Beina and asked, "How are you?" Yao Beina replied, "It's okay, I'm in the hospital. When I get better, we will eat hot pot together." Tan Weiwei replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you!" This is the last conversation between the two of them.

Today, Tan Weiwei thinks of Yao Beina and always mentions this text message. She once cried, "Didn't we make an appointment to have hot pot together?" She told Fan Hongtao: "Yao Beina is the best among our generation of pop singers, and no one surpasses her so far. She sings much better than me."

Talent

She has a pair of "fixed ears"

is the "wind listener" in the vocal music industry

No matter how others evaluate Yao Beina or give her many titles, in Fan Hongtao's eyes, she has always been a pretty girl who is not spoiled.

Fan Hongtao never forgot his first impression when he saw Yao Beina. He wrote:

"One day in September 1989, I sat in the office of the 19th Conservatory of Wuhan Conservatory of Music, looking at the heavy rain outside the window. Suddenly, a little girl with a schoolbag on the playground in the distance flashed by, but she didn't hold an umbrella. I looked closely and saw that it wasn't Yao Beina? It's so heavy rain, why didn't she hold an umbrella? What did Teacher Yao do? Is Teacher Li not at home? Later, I realized that Yao Beina often eats and goes to school alone... Because of this, I later learned that she resolutely retired from the army, bravely took the ground to face the disease, and donated corneas to the eye. , but she was not particularly surprised. She developed this kind of courageous character as early as childhood. "

She was also an alternative student in the Vocal and Song Department of the Chinese Conservatory of Music. When the first teacher of Dong Hua taught Yao Beina, Yao Beina said bluntly: "Teacher, I don't like national singing style , so I just want to be a pop singer." Teacher Dong was stunned after hearing this, and said with a smile: "As long as you like, you can do it."

"She is a typical Wuhan girl!" Fan Hongtao commented. Fan Hongtao and Yao Feng were colleagues at Wuhan Conservatory of Music , so he watched how Yao Beina grew step by step. "Bena can be said to be the 'Second Generation Yao' of Wuhan Conservatory of Music. Her father Yao Feng and mother Li Xinmin both graduated from this university. Yao Feng later stayed at the school to teach.So, Benna has been talented since she was a child, and even if no one deliberately taught her, she has performed amazingly. "

Yao Feng once recalled that an interesting thing happened when Yao Beina was 3 years old. When Yao Feng was at home, the students had just finished singing, Yao Beina suddenly shouted: "Dad, uncle has tongue sound . "Yao Feng was a little embarrassed and immediately interrupted her and said, "Don't talk nonsense! "However, Yao Beina did not say nonsense. The student did have this problem.

From the age of 4 to junior high school, Yao Beina has been practicing piano. This benefit is that her music listening can be well trained and developed, so she has trained "fixed ears" (meaning that she can immediately sing them accurately when she hears one or several notes or a melody). Having "fixed ears" is the "wind listener" in the vocal world. But this skill, although it is a talent, still requires strict training. Yao Feng spent nearly two years developing Yao Beina's music listening. Yao Feng believes that they are father and daughter, but they are also friends, and often learn from each other.

However, Yao Beina is far away from them. Yao's father and mother said: "We often think that if she could slow down the pace, she would definitely sing more good songs to everyone..." The epitaph they wrote for Yao Beina is "a girl who loves to sing, a girl who sings with her life", which is a true portrayal of her short life.

In the past seven years, Yao Feng and Li Xinmin have often woken up from their dreams, "always remembering Benna's birth, learning to speak, and growing up and becoming a graceful girl." They fantasized that one day, Yao Beina would suddenly stand in front of them and shout them...

On September 26, 1981, Yao Beina was born in bed 26, bed 26 of the hospital bed. When Yao Feng took the baby brought by the nurse, he said: "Ah! I became a father, this is my daughter, it looks so beautiful! ”
