Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 276 274. Sing this song together
“Is this difficult?”

"Of course I don't have any! I haven't even gotten a general ticket!"

Guan Yongyi widened his eyes and pouted to show his dissatisfaction.

"Just find a scalper and pay several times the price."

".you win."

The two of them finished checking tickets one after the other, held hands, separated the crowd, and walked towards the VIP area.

The moment he sat on the chair, Guan Yongyi could not hide his excitement.

As a Guangzhou native who grew up listening to Miriam Yeung, I have liked her since my teenage years, then in middle school and then in college.

Whether singing karaoke in public or mumbling to myself in the shower, every time I make a playlist, Miriam Yeung is the one that appears most often.

"You know, for me, there is probably no other singer in the world who can resonate with me as much as Miss Yang."

Amid the bustling crowd, Guan Yongyi leaned on the man's shoulder, raised her chin, and lost herself in memories.

I started to like Miriam Yeung around 11, when I was in the first year of high school.

The High School Affiliated to South China Normal University held a sports meet. I, who hated sports, was sitting on the lawn, hugging my knees, dozing off out of boredom, when suddenly my best friend put a pair of earphones in my ears.

"This song is so nice, does it sound like it's about you?"

A gentle and tender voice is singing.

"It's very clear who treats me well and who treats me badly."

The female voice in the movie speaks softly and with a shallow breath, and it feels like if you're not paying attention, it can transform into hundreds of movie frames.

The high-pitched expression of deep emotion in the chorus touches the heart directly.

After listening to this song, the woman who sang "It's a pity I'm an Aquarius" walked into Guan Yongyi's life. Her name is Miriam Yeung.

Guan Yongyi began to frantically catch up on every song she had sung in the past, the videos and tapes of every concert, and played every new song she released over and over again.

To what extent?

Maybe it means listening to her when you have a crush on her, listening to her when you feel lost, listening to her when you are happy, listening to her when you are sad, listening to her when you can’t bear it, listening to her when you feel inferior.
Every night when I cried and felt sad and thought I couldn't get through the next day, I could only fall asleep with her singing as my pillow, and then I would pick myself up the next day and keep moving forward.

Perhaps it was because she had never drunk alcohol before, but as soon as she graduated from high school, she dragged Zhou Si Ning to the bar secretly, ordered a Long Island iced tea, and ended up sleeping until noon the next day.

Because of her love for the cocktail, Long Island Iced Tea has become one of Guan Yongyi’s favorite cocktails.

I gave the earphones to Zhou Si Ning countless times. Her best friend kept asking her why she liked Miriam Yeung so much. She couldn't give a specific reason, but just kept repeating it.

"It's because she is Miriam Yeung, she is singing about herself."

In fact, it wasn’t just Zhou Si Ning. Some of her peers were surprised when they learned that she loved Miriam Yeung.

Everyone thinks that as a young person, Kwan Wing-yee’s favorite singers are a bit unpopular.

In order to keep the conversation from becoming dull, people would even talk to Guan Yongyi about her movies and TV series.

Because she has always sung Cantonese songs, many mainland audiences did not know that Miriam Yeung is actually a singer.

When people mention her, they always say, "Oh, Miriam Yeung, that actress."

Especially with the huge success of "Love in a Puff" in 2013, many young people got to know or fell in love with Miriam Yeung.

In their eyes, Miriam Yeung is Yu Chunjiao and Yu Chunjiao is Miriam Yeung.

But Guan Yongyi has never liked such statements.

Anyone who said these things must not have seen her in concert.

Miriam Yeung, who would not throw away the microphone in her hand even when she cried while singing, but would hold it tightly and continue singing with sobs.

Miss Yang's songs always seem to be contradicting herself, yet very heroic.

Even if they would say, "Give me any of your blessings, and don't keep any for me," this is just self-mockery when they see their friends happy.

This self-mockery is very much like Guan Yongyi himself.

She created a playlist in her NetEase Cloud Music.

It's called [How have you changed since you fell in love with Miriam Yeung].

The playlist unexpectedly became a little popular, and the comment with the most likes was "Have the courage to be an ordinary person."

Perhaps, this is probably the answer to why she likes Miriam Yeung.

As Miss Yang herself said, I have nothing but the word "courage" in my heart.

I remember that in a variety show, she was knocked to the ground by a bull in Spain.

Faced with her lover's heartache and worry, she said it was okay and she could continue.

In all the projects where the boys wanted to give up, she gritted her teeth and pressed on, never giving up or compromising.

This is the characteristic of Miriam Yeung, she is ordinary like you and me, but also shining.

She is Guan Yongyi's dream since her teenage years, and a heroic dream in ordinary life.

I want to be the person in Miss Yang’s song. Even if I can’t make it, as long as I have such a beautiful fantasy, my life will still be bright.

Everyone who listens to Miriam Yeung may have encountered grievances in real life and wants to experience the proud determination from her songs.

Lin Xi said bluntly in the "Singing and Talking Session" "Miriam Yeung Ten Years One Night" held by Miriam Yeung to commemorate her tenth anniversary of her debut:

"I treated Miriam as a piece of my flesh. I gave her my best and truest things."

She deserves such praise and love.

Because she is Miriam Yeung, she is the most beautiful and dazzling scenery.

Some people said she was fat, so she exercised every day to lose weight and build up muscles.

People say she is ugly, but she wears 16 outfits at once and performs in a different style almost every day.

She said she had difficulty in moving, so she asked Hong Kong's most famous dance creative director Sunny Wong to choreograph her dance. She either didn't dance or danced until she went crazy.
[Listening to Miriam Yeung singing live] was the wish that Kwan Wing-yee made during her coming-of-age ceremony.

Unexpectedly, someone achieved it for her so quickly.

"I feel like many of her songs are about me."

The short-haired girl was combing her hair, squinting her eyes, and speaking softly.

"Every time she grows and changes, I seem to feel the same."

"Everything about her reminds me not of a singer or a star, but of myself."

"For example, 'A Girl's Prayer', I listened to it when I was in high school, which was the most brilliant teenage years of my life."

"At that time, I only knew how to read. I simply thought the melody was nice and I vaguely understood the lyrics. It was not until later that I understood them and started repeating them crazily. Do you know when that was?"

"do not know."

Lu Jincheng shook his head.

"It's walking with you in the school."

Guan Yongyi tilted his head, his eyes glowing brightly under the colorful lights.

"Maybe I fell in love with you before we took a walk."

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

"What's the point of just liking someone? Besides, at that time, no matter how you think about it, Sisi is more suitable for you."

The short-haired girl held her chin with one hand and spoke in a low voice.

"So, the only way to school is for me to walk side by side with you for a short distance."

"The lyrics have become my voice - to love him for a few more kilometers."

"." Lu Jincheng suddenly didn't know what to say.

He stretched out his arms and held Guan Yongyi in his arms.

Maybe it's like what she said.

What Miriam Yeung sang at the beginning was this kind of sensitive, fragile and pure little girl's emotions.

It's very simple and beautiful.

This makes girls like Guan Yongyi, who finds it difficult to express their love, find a lot of resonance.

Cheers suddenly broke out one after another, and the concert began.

At first glance, there is a dazzling purple, flickering under the light like a flame.

Then, I saw Miss Yang wearing a purple long dress, the hem of her skirt blown up by the wind and flying all over the sky. The beauty and touching feeling were difficult to describe in words.

For some reason, Guan Yongyi felt a little sore in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and grinned again.

Ok.

This is the Miriam Yeung that I love. She looks exactly the same as I imagined.

The first song tonight was indeed "Girl's Prayer".

Guan Yongyi and Lu Jincheng sat in the front row, at the very front, with a large screen broadcasting the event above their heads.

Before the prelude sounded, two harps rose from the air. Miriam Yeung stood on the stage, holding the microphone in one hand and waving to the audience.

"I only wish to be with him in the car and reach the future, and not let go until the car is destroyed~"

"No matter what kind of hurt I go through on the road, it's up to me to decide whether to love or not~"

When this song is used as the opening song, all the audience will sing along with her as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Just like Guan Yongyi at this moment.

It was the first time that Lu Jincheng saw Guan Guan so excited. She held the glow stick tightly in both hands, her pupils seemed to be filled with stars, she straightened her chest and looked at the stage intently.

Looking at the scene in the dream.

The singer and the audience seemed to merge into one in an instant, and the sing-along rate of the song on the spot reached almost 100%, and the singing of all the fans was floating over the stadium.

The voices are uniform, creating a moving resonance.

The first song ignited the entire venue.

She continued to sing, and the audience followed along.

As he sang, Guan Yongyi couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

It turns out that as long as music has successfully reached people's hearts, it can return to the original path and take away a small part of the heart.

She found that she could shout and cry loudly, and even pulled the boy next to her to tell him how much she liked it and how touched she was.

But she would never explain why she liked it.

This sentence, this song.

As soon as the prelude of the song "Courage" sounded and the first sentence was sung, Guan Yongyi knew that something was wrong.

She had never experienced tears before, and they just fell without any preparation.

I am a person who doesn’t like to cry, and I know very well why I cry and what I cry about, but this time I have to admit that I was moved for no reason.

Perhaps the most fascinating and irresistible things in the world are all because there is no reason.

“Others never agree

And reason does not allow
Still fully committed, not feeling any pain
Like chasing a dream
Who is radical?

Not as brave as I am for you~"

So much so that at this moment, Guan Yongyi still clearly remembers all of his reactions.

With tears streaming down her face, she sang along loudly with all her might.

When she was in middle school, she read an article from 2010, which asked why everyone liked Miriam Yeung and why her music was so relatable.

Psychologically speaking, if this person embodies our fantasies and expectations, we empathize with her and feel sorry for her. We always hope that she will be well, because her well-being means that we may also be well.

So we began to feel sorry for Miriam Yeung.

When did the heartache begin?
Maybe it was when she said with a strong will that she was never afraid of being hurt in love, maybe it was when she defended her lover with soft words, maybe it was when she was watching "Love in a Puff".

——In the Hong Kong drama movie produced by Pang Ho-cheung himself, she played an ordinary cosmetics saleswoman. The sun shone through the back alley. She had short lavender hair, transparent skin under a thin layer of rouge and powder, and a slender green card next to her red lips.

In the smoke, the usual things of urban men and women flow.

Affair, unbearable, betrayal, disappointment, greed, jealousy.
Amid those ambiguous and yet difficult to break emotions, she took a puff of her cigarette, her voice hoarse and her face expressionless.

"In this life, it is very difficult to find that one person who is willing to devote all his/her love to you and love you without hesitation."

What reason is there not to love her?
She was singing about herself.

Guan Yongyi has cried countless times while listening to her songs, on the concert interface of the computer screen, and in the Bluetooth headphones late at night, but no time has the feeling been as strong as it is now.

Song after song, Miriam Yeung sang until she choked up, and the audience cried along with her.

Miriam Yeung said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll hold on tight, you guys wait for me first."

She burst into laughter again in the audience.

The singer and the audience are like two sides of a mirror. Whether crying or laughing, it feels like looking in the mirror.

Only you can save yourself, because that is the real courage.

As she sang, Miriam Yeung on the stage looked a little tired.

When she was young, her songs were almost all about self-expression. While singing out her own feelings, she also sang out the voices of millions of listeners.

So, at concerts, you would see her stop singing because of her emotions.

Today, she has learned to pass the microphone to the audience when she can’t sing or wants to hear the audience sing to her.

In the interval between the verse and the chorus, Miriam Yeung took two steps forward and squatted down with her body hunched.

She had long noticed a girl in the audience, who was standing on tiptoe, had short hair, big eyes, and was singing very attentively and hard.

"The world surrounds me and we'll die together

A spectacular wedding like a cliff
Maybe I have no important role to play in this world.

There is still this kind of true love that will stay~"

Miriam Yeung handed the microphone over, and the short-haired girl's voice seamlessly connected with hers just now.

All the lights, cameras, cheers, in just one second, were directed at Guan Yongyi.

Guan Yongyi squinted her eyes and sang with all her heart.

The short-haired girl sang along with the music without any thought or pause, just like she did just now.

Finish singing the last few lines of the song "The Legend of Flying Girl".

It wasn't until the overwhelming applause nearly broke her eardrums that she came to her senses.

“It sounds so good!”

In front of him was the smiling Miriam Yeung and an invitation that he had never dared to foresee in his dreams.

"Do you want to sing together next?"

The Hong Kong diva leaned forward, stretched out her hand, and pointed it at Kwan Wing-yee in the audience.
