In the 2009 " Happy Girls " national top 20 promotion competition, because Zeng Yike was promoted to , it caused a shocking scene that year.
On the stage, Zeng Yike, dressed as an angel, sang his original song " The Most Angel ".
In fact, Zeng Yike's performance on the stage that year was not outstanding, and could even be called mediocre.
But she was almost eliminated many times and was protected by Shen Lihui.
In Shen Lihui's opinion, although Zeng Yike's singing skills are not good, his works are very spiritual.
In this competition, the judges had a heated discussion over the question of whether the contestants should stay or leave.
The promotion result was supposed to be announced by Shunzi , but it was pushed to the judges Bao Xiaobai .
As a senior musician, Bao Xiaobai has an extremely rigorous attitude towards music. He believes that good is good and bad is bad.
In the brutally competitive top 20 arena, opportunities should be reserved for the strong.
Faced with the quarrel among the judges, the host came out to calm down:
"I don't think Mr. Shen is sympathetic. As a music producer, he may have seen the creative talent of this girl behind Zeng Yike's intonation problem."
The judges' opinions were not unanimous. After the dispute, Zeng Yike got the opportunity to PK.
sang again, Zeng Yike's state was well buffered, she sang a song Leo while holding the guitar.
So with the support of Shen Lihui, Zeng Yike got the promotion spot.
At the same time, the most classic scene on the Happy Girls stage in 2009 happened.
Bao Xiaobai was dissatisfied with the result of the competition and said bluntly:
"I am willing to use my identity to exchange the question of whether to stay or go. As long as a player of this level is in the future, I can only say that he will let me go."
In the end, Zeng Yike did not enter the finals, but because of this operation, Zeng Yike became popular overnight.
However, judge Bao Xiaobai withdrew from the recording and now rarely appears in front of the screen.
It was not until the news of his daughter’s death came out that he returned to the public.
01
On December 25, 2021, according to Taiwan media reports, the daughter of the well-known musician Bao Xiaobai died of illness at the age of 22.
A white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift is undoubtedly the saddest thing.
Bao Xiaobai was deeply hit by the death of his daughter. He placed his deep reluctance and deep fatherly love in his best wishes:
"At 10:44 this morning, I lost the love of my life, and my little girl became an angel."
And solemnly promised:
"From now on, daddy will always be with you, let's go home."
It is reported that as early as the 1990s, it was revealed that Bao Xiaobai married an outsider and gave birth to a daughter.
He attaches great importance to the privacy of his family and has rarely exposed any family information. In early interviews, he once revealed that he named his daughter Tolerant, hoping that her daughter would eventually be tolerant no matter what state she was in.
In fact, this kind of tolerance is not only a good wish for his daughter, but also expresses his attitude towards his own life.
Bao Xiaobai's love for his daughter stems from his own misfortune in childhood. He does not want his daughter to be like him.
In Bao Xiaobai's own words:
"I grew up in a family with no blood relationship. I have been kicked around like a ball since I was a child."
Bao Xiaobai was born in Taipei City, Taiwan Province in 1967.
His birth was not glorious, and it could even be called a family scandal at that time.
Bao Xiaobai has a twin brother named Bao Xiaosong . The two brothers are the children of their mother who was pregnant before marriage, so they are not popular.
People in the village often gossip and point fingers at them behind their backs. Living in the midst of discussions for a long time, Bao Xiaobai's mother lives a very difficult life.
Perhaps in the hope that her son would grow up to be an upright man, the mother named the two of them "Song" and "Pak".
If they behave upright, they will not commit evil just because they are "illegitimate children".
In order to better support her family, Bao Xiaobai's mother could only work and take care of her children at the same time. When
was young, his mother's leather shoe store was the entertainment place for the two brothers. They crawled around the house without being afraid of people.
The sister of a male employee in the leather shoe store came to play in the store and was filled with joy when she saw the two brothers crawling on the floor.
wanted to take the two children home to live for a while, because the male employee and Bao's mother were brother-in-law, so he also became the uncle of the two children.
No one would have thought that my uncle’s sister would take away the two children and raise them for 17 years.
Bao Xiaobai and Bao Xiaosong were only one and a half years old when they were taken away. The employee's sister's home is a wooden and iron house in a military community.
's family is not wealthy. In addition to the two brothers Bao Xiaobai, there are also five children living there.
The Bao family did not provide living expenses for the two children, so the arrival of the two children made the family even worse.
They call the parents of uncles and aunts grandpa and grandma.
My grandfather had a very bad temper. When he learned that the family wanted to adopt the Bao brothers, he firmly opposed it.
However, my grandmother was very supportive. She took care of all the affairs of the family regardless of her grandfather's objections.
Grandma dotes on the two brothers, almost responding to their requests, and the two little guys are also willing to protect grandma:
"We often act as grandma's "firemen". Whenever we see grandpa losing her temper, we will drag grandma to the next door to hide."
When he was young, Bao Xiaobai learned to take care of others. Whenever there was fruit at home, he would first taste whether the fruit was sour or astringent.
After they became sensible, they realized that they were only fostered in their grandparents' house. The sudden change of status caught them off guard.
It was also at that time that Bao Xiaobai stopped messing around, and he gradually understood the principle of "living under someone else's roof".
His strangeness was soon discovered by his grandma. Every time fear and panic flooded into his heart, grandma could always give him the warmest embrace and comfort. A grandmother like
is like an angel, using her own power to warm and illuminate Bao Xiaobai's sensitive heart.
"She was very tolerant and cared about us, but I didn't feel sorry for my grandma."
Perhaps it was this experience that made Bao Xiaobai name his daughter "Tolerant" later.
Bao Xiaobai did not live in the country for a long time. Time soon came to the age when he was in elementary school.
For the sake of the children's studies, his grandfather's family moved to Taipei. It was also at this time that Bao Xiaobai learned that he had two older brothers.
At that time, the two brothers were also sent to their grandmother's house for foster care. The arrival of the brothers undoubtedly added a burden to the family,
so the grandmother discussed with their father whether they could subsidize the tuition fees of the two children.
never thought that his father would no longer want to contribute after fostering the child, so he kept pushing the blame. Bao Xiaobai, who witnessed the whole process, said angrily:
"Have you fulfilled your responsibility as a father?"
After hearing this, his father became angry, turned around and slapped Bao Xiaobai, and then bought two bicycles and settled the matter hastily.
His father's slap turned into the energy of grief and anger, and also became the catalyst for Bao Xiaobai's growth.
He realized that seeking for others is better than seeking for yourself, so he found a newspaper delivery job on his bicycle to earn extra money to support his family.
In order to make a living, the two brothers did a lot of domestic work and worked as odd jobs in entertainment companies.
Unexpectedly, this part-time job opportunity turned into a life opportunity.

With the help of a reporter, the twin brothers were recommended to Li Ge Records. After audition, both of them were admitted.
In 1986, the 17-year-old duo debuted as a pink boy group and toured throughout Taiwan.
's first performance was as a warm-up performance for a department store. That performance made the two brothers an instant hit, and they continued to receive invitations after that. As a newcomer to the company,
has to do all the publicity and packaging by themselves. They are self-reliant on motorcycles.
"The first two years were extremely difficult. Senior artists would not support us, and it was difficult to get on the real stage."
circulated among small stages for two years, and it was only in the third year that it performed on the "Lao San Channel".
"Performances in townships are all unpaid. Only by being on TV can you get 2,350 yuan (NT$) for carriage and horse fees per performance. Once the rent is paid, there is not much left. In order to save money, I eat fried vegetables and soy sauce bibimbap almost every day."
It was not until 1988 that Taiwan's policy opened up and there was an opportunity to appear on TV, but at this time the two of them had also reached the age of military service. When
returned, there was no place for them in the Taiwanese music market.
So Bao Xiaobai went behind the scenes and became a music producer for Rolling Stone Records.
Those who are ambitious will achieve great results no matter which industry they are in. At that time, Bao Xiaobai was thinking very much about making his grandma live a good life.
"My childhood experience made me have a very deep sense of insecurity, so I had to do my best in everything because I worked too hard in my career. During that time, my family and friends called me a desperate man. Apart from sleeping, I devoted all my time to work."
With a lot of energy, his career skyrocketed, and he became the director of Warner Records' production and artist development department in less than 6 years.
Three years later, he was poached by Fenghua Records to serve as deputy general manager.
In 2005, Bao Xiaobai began to establish his own music company, and when the mainland talent show came out, he entered the mainland market as a mentor.
In the program, Bao Xiaobai became the most venomous professional music critic. Especially after the Zeng Yike incident, this image became even more popular.

Bao Xiaobai, who is able to quarrel with other scholars on the stage and hit the nail on the head, is a complete daughter-in-law in life.
Bao Xiaobai is very close to his daughter. Once he talks about his daughter, he will put away his "thorns" and become a loving father with a doting look on his face.
Due to the nature of his work, Bao Xiaobai works away from home all year round and rarely comes home. His concern for his daughter can only be conveyed through his wife.
"Often, when she calls and talks about how my daughter is doing recently, I am a listener."
Therefore, Bao Xiaobai always has a mentality of worrying about not giving enough to his family. He does not want his daughter to follow in his footsteps.
Therefore, he doted on his daughter and wanted to give her the best of everything. He spent a lot of money to send her to live abroad.
And his daughter is also very competitive, smart and versatile.
Bao Xiaobai and his daughter have become friends. The two talk about everything, especially during that time abroad. The two often talk on the phone.
His daughter will tell him her troubles, and she will also tell him if she has a crush. Bao Xiaobai is very patient about this, comforts his daughter and becomes a good listener.
Family harmony and smoothness did not alleviate Bao Xiaobai's uneasiness.
He was born in a cancer family. His parents and foster grandparents all died of cancer. He was very worried about this day coming,
worried that he would pass away one day.
Things are unpredictable. Bao Xiaobai's daughter was diagnosed with rare disease , and the possibility of cure is not high.
In order to accompany his daughter for medical treatment, Bao Xiaobai gave up all his work and took his daughter to seek medical treatment everywhere.
But this disease was like a bottomless pit. With no source of income, he sold his property.
Seeing his daughter in her prime suffering from illness, he was in great pain,
and blamed the injustice of fate:
" She has not offended anyone, so why does she suffer endlessly day after day?"
In 2019, he successfully matched his daughter's bone marrow and performed a transplant, using the latest haploidentical transplant technology. The transplantation of
was successful and her daughter regained her previous vitality, but the "rejection reaction" described by the doctor has always been rooted in Bao Xiaobai's heart.
When facing his daughter, he paid special attention to his daily diet and exercise.
But heaven does not fulfill people's wishes.
A year later, her daughter's condition retaliated and became more serious. She lost and found again, gained and lost again, which caused Bao Xiaobai to collapse:
"The word letter has been wiped out from my heart."
And excessive worry caused Bao Xiaobai to grow old overnight.
He appeared in the public eye again with a haggard face, and was ridiculed by the uninformed media as imitating Stephen Chow .
At this time, he had no intention of paying attention to the outside world and only acknowledged the news of the child's death.
When dealing with his daughter's funeral, Bao Xiaobai decorated the mourning hall with a theme of purple orchids and white lilies.
Maybe this was my daughter’s favorite flower during her lifetime.
After arranging all the procedures, Bao Xiaobai hugged his brother and cried like a child.
, a child who had been kicked around like a ball since he was a child, finally failed to get what he wanted and lost the angel in his life.
