At the beginning of the new year, bad news came from the Chinese music scene: the well-known musician Yuan Weiren (Xiao Fat Teacher) deteriorated and was judged to be a vegetative person by the attending doctor of Taitung Mackay Hospital.
The condition persisted for 3 years
In October 2018, Yuan Weiren accidentally fell in Shanghai, causing cerebral hemorrhage and falling into a deep coma. After being admitted to the hospital, after examination, a tumor was found on one side of the brain and had to undergo emergency craniotomy.
After the operation, Yuan Weiren was unconscious for a long time, and after 62 days of intensive treatment at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, he finally woke up and then returned to Taiwan for further treatment.
In the first 19 years, Yuan Weiren's agent told the media that it may be the sequelae of craniotomy, Yuan Weiren's right half of the body is paralyzed and unconscious, and the left hand can barely grasp the drink bottle, but it is not very powerful. The doctor said that the language function that had been impaired by the gas incision had been restored, but Yuan Weiren did not seem to want to speak and did not say a word all day.
In October 2020, when he was recuperating and recovering in his hometown in Taitung, he accidentally fell again at home, hit his head, and when he was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment, the coma index reached 6, which was a severe coma. After more than a year, there was no more news of The Little Fat Teacher.
Now the news has come that Yuan Weiren, who has been recuperating at home, can no longer support the sitting position and can only lie in bed; his eyes can be opened, but he does not recognize people. After the doctor's comprehensive judgment, it is confirmed to be unconscious, that is, a vegetative person.
In August 2020, Yuan Weiren was still trying to recover
Marriage is on the rocks and in debt
In recent years, Yuan Weiren has continued to "water reverse" and everything is not smooth.
In 2016, he broke up with his wife Lu Yuanqi, who had been married for 14 years. Although in the open letter, he said that the breakup was because the two people got together less and more, and goodbye was also a friend.
Husband and wife
But later, when Lu Yuanqi participated in the program, he publicly accused Yuan Weiren of "three deadly sins"——
1. Less than 4 years after marriage, Yuan Weiren was unfaithful to the marriage;
2. Indifferent and ruthless to his wife and children, and he cannot be cared for during the New Year's holidays or when he is sick and hospitalized;
Third, in the face of divorce, the use of "dragging words" to let the woman waste time is tantamount to seeking wealth and killing people.
Lu Yuanqi also said that after the divorce, Yuan Weiren did not give her a penny of child support, and the two children were raised by her alone. In addition to the children's studies, there are mortgages and car loans every month, and the life of the mother and son is quite embarrassing, and even once needed the help of relatives and friends to maintain.
Tao Jingying, the two's mutual friends, also used this matter as a paragraph at the spitting conference, and publicly shouted that the program group gave Yuan Weiren's notice fee directly to her, and she then transferred it to her ex-wife.
Tao Zi, who has always been quick to talk
For these rumors, Yuan Weiren has not come forward to clarify.
When he was in a coma in Shanghai for the first time in 18 years, Lu Yuanqi quickly flew to Shanghai with a pair of children and took care of them for 2 months. On the plane back to Taiwan, Lu Yuanqi also wrote a letter, which was deeply moving- a good rest and slowly woke up, and I owed me to wake up and remember to return it to me. Although love has dried up, we still have friendship and affection.
Therefore, what exactly is the grudge between the two people, may not know except for themselves.
It is also reported that Yuan Weiren is addicted to gambling and owes millions of huge debts, and his situation and state have not been optimistic. When he attended an event in Shanghai in 2016, he was blocked by the creditor and was once tense. Later, both the organizer and the lawyer came forward, and Yuan Weiren promised to negotiate repayment, and the creditor was willing to release the person.
During the treatment period in recent years, due to medical expenses, nursing expenses, rehabilitation expenses, etc., yuan Weiren personally borne the huge expenses. His friend Zhang Yu also set up a "Little Fat Fund", standing with Wu Qixian, You Hongming and other close friends, calling on the seniors and friends in the music industry to lend a helping hand and help each other. The Taiwan Performing Arts Association also provided Yuan Weiren with a fixed support of NT$10,000 per month to alleviate his financial pressure.
Yuan Weiren and Zhang Yu both served as judges of the "Avenue of Stars", and Tao Zi was the host
Poisonous tongue music talent
Many people first know Yuan Weiren, or from she's song "Listen to Yuan Weiren Play Guitar" 15 years ago.

He earnestly composed the humming and singing
Love puppets, conquests and dreams awaken
All became the main hits
In fact, before this, Yuan Weiren had already achieved fame. Faye Wong's "Spinning Wood", "Obsession without Regret", Na Ying's "Conquest" and "Dream" are all his works. Qi Qin, Zhao Chuan, and Wu Qixian of the older generation, Cai Jianya, Jiang Meiqi, and Liu Ruoying of the Mesozoic generation, Zhang Jie, Han Geng, and Liang Jingru of the younger generation... Have worked with him.
Men who play guitar always have an inexplicable charm
SHE In the era of Huayan Music, Yuan Weiren has always been their music director, accompanying the three little girls through the initial green onions, which is a relationship of mentoring and friendship. So SHE will sing in the song:
It is not easy to write songs, and selling songs depends on luck and relationships. Rare best songs, good luck to be retained by the company, but the reservation will not necessarily be used, the use will not necessarily be beaten, even if it becomes the main hit, the royalties may be delayed...
In fact, it is Yuan Weiren's own experience.
In addition to his achievements in music production, Yuan Weiren is also talked about for his out-of-character words and actions in variety shows.
People of a certain age should know that Lin Youjia debuted in the "Super Walk of Fame", he was one of the judges, and he has always been optimistic about Lin, who was still a bit rustic at that time. Sure enough, in the end, Lin Yujia lived up to expectations and won the championship.
Later, public opinion began to turn against him, saying that Yuan Weiren wanted to make a splash and play a big card, and only then deliberately embarrassed the players, because the players forgot words and angrily dropped the lyrics. But Yuan Weiren later explained that these were the effects arranged in advance by the program team. In order to be more realistic, I even watched two seasons of "American Idol" to "understand" how to be elected as a judge of the show.
Simply super memories to kill

In fact, Yuan Weiren's reputation in the circle is quite good, he has a kind personality, does not talk much, works seriously, is humorous, does not have the concept of respect and inferiority of the elderly and the young, and is especially willing to promote the younger generations - this realm is quite high.
Xu Fei once said in an interview that Yuan Weiren took the initiative to teach her chord fragments that Taiwanese musicians like to use. Later, when making the album "We Want to Walk Through All the Most Romantic Places", the chords he used all came from the selfless sharing of the little fat teacher.
Maybe it's like Eason sings: after many classic songs, the eyes are gone; the green hills are entangled, and the anthills are turned into anthills in the blink of an eye.
I can't imagine that a generation of mercurial musical talents is now like the walking dead.
All the past is the prologue. I hope that the little fat teacher can have less pain...
