On July 19, some Hong Kong media released news that Yao Li, a generation of singers, died peacefully in the early morning at the age of 96, and the news caused quite a stir in an instant.
Mo Xuqiu, a well-known Singer in Hong Kong, also posted on social platforms, saying that his family informed him of this regret in the morning and expressed his deep condolences to the singer Yao Li.
In the 1930s, Yao Li, who was only 13 years old, debuted until the 60s due to the loss of her brother and quit the music scene, and in her singing career for more than 30 years, she released countless records, including "Rose Rose I Love You" with the highest popularity.
Yao Li sang at the Shanghai Yangtze Ballroom for 5 years, and together with Zhou Xuan, Bai Hong, Gong Qiuxia, Bai Guang, Li Xianglan (Shuko Yamaguchi) and Wu Yingyin, became the "Seven Queens of Shanghai Beach", they had different styles and charms, and made extraordinary contributions to the Shanghai music scene at that time and even the entire Chinese music scene in the future.
Time has passed, and the seven songs on the beach have all passed away one after another, and since li Xianglan's death in 2014, Yao Li has become the only living person after the seven songs. Teresa Teng has publicly stated that Yao Li is her idol.
Now Yao Li's departure also seems to herald the end of an era, hoping that this singer can continue to sing in heaven.
