Everyone in the world is unique. We all may become a minority in the eyes of others. Being labeled as a minority does not mean that we are strange. We still have the right to live out ourselves and do not expect everyone to like it. You may not love it, but please do not hurt it at will.
" Rose Boy " was originally a song sung by Jolin Tsai . It was written by Jolin Tsai and Ashin . Chen Yiru's lyrics work together and composed by Razor Jiang and Jolin Tsai. It was included in the album "UGLY BEAUTY" released by Jolin Tsai on December 26, 2018.
The original song is a mid-shock, mixed with a faint sadness, as if it is a song of communication between the soul, and it contains the Tropical House reggae style and lyrics rich with strong emotional strength.
Mayday covered "Rose Boy" in August 2019, interpreting it in popular style and rock style respectively. If Jolin Tsai's version is: "comfort version", then Mayday's version is "courage version". Compared with the original Tropical House style, the Mayday version is full of rock power, and the emotional burst is even more intense. The rose boys shouted in the depths of despair, bloomed boldly in the eyes of infinite doubt, and never compromised.
Ye Yongzhi was born in 1985 in an ordinary rural family in Taiwan. Although his mother is just a rural woman, she also has the vision of her child becoming a dragon. She named her child Ye Yongzhi, hoping that he can have dreams and achieve something.
The warmth of the family and the love of the people around you make Yongzhi's childhood particularly beautiful.
When he was in school, his mother sent Ye Yongzhi to a local rural school. Ye Yongzhi, who has been well-behaved and cute since childhood, is very popular among people around him. He would help his mother do housework, learn to do laundry and cook, and massage her mother every day to urge her to wash and rest early. In the society at that time, it was difficult to have such considerate children.
Someone praised in front of his mother: Yongzhi is very considerate, you don’t have to have a daughter if you have a son.
Then let the mother Chen Jun Ru did not expect that this sentence made his child's life stay at the age of 15.
The school cleaned up the blood on the spot without reporting the case and explained to the public that Yongzhi, who had no history of heart disease, fell to the toilet due to a sudden heart disease.
But Yongzhi's mother did not believe the school's words at all.
Because she knew what kind of bullying her well-behaved son was suffering in school - because Yongzhi, as a "boy", prefers to do what "girls" like to do, so some classmates always laugh at him as he goes to the bathroom, force him to take off his pants and check if he is a girl, even beat him and catch him, and use physical violence.
yongzhi wrote a note to my mother: Mom, you want to save me.
Mom contacted the school, but the school thought it was just a little fight for the children. Even in the third grade of primary school, the teacher thought that Yongzhi liked to do things for girls was not normal, so he asked his mother to take him to see a psychologist. The doctor said: Yongzhi is very normal, and it is abnormal for those who say Yongzhi is abnormal. The school’s incomprehension and inaction on this undoubtedly further encourages the arrogance of campus bullying. And Yongzhi, who was bullied, faced the malice of the world alone and died in pain.
With the persistence of Yongzhi's parents and the help of people in the society, after six years of lawsuits, three employees of the school finally sentenced to death for business negligence. The occurrence of this incident also directly promoted the promulgation of the Gender Equality Education Law in Taiwan.
In 2010, Ye Yongzhi's mother stood in Kaohsiung parade and said to the passers-by: Children, you must be brave. If the heaven and earth create a person like you, there must be a dawn, let you fight for human rights, be yourself, and don't be afraid. This is the prototype story behind the song "Rose Boy".
The last lyrics read: Troubled times are always the least short of whispers, which kind of beauty will bring jealousy. You are not guilty, it is the world that you have sin.
