"Listen to my little treasure said that Eason Chan sang a song for their children, every child in the school will sing, and this song has become the children's joint code!"
"My second eldest kindergarten is also, and dolls with teeth that don't have long teeth can also sing!"
"Isn't Eason Chan a Hong Kong pop singer?" How can you sing nursery rhymes? ”
Yes, Eason Chan, a king-level singer who has been famous for many years, is also strange himself, asking on social platforms: "I heard that I have a children's song?" ”
The "children's song" "Lone Brave" sung by Eason Chan was launched on November 8, 2021, and the number of plays that night reached 200 million, dominating the chart for 12 consecutive weeks, with a total playback of more than 3 billion in 8 months, which is the best single of NetEase Cloud Music in 2021.
In May this year, it became another fire and swept through kindergartens across the country, becoming the "joint song" and "wake up alarm" in the park!
So, what charm does this "Lone Brave" that has been evaluated as "moving words and sentences of life" have to achieve such remarkable results? Can it be accepted and loved by the audience regardless of age difference?
As soon as "Lone Brave" came out, it was loved by the public because of the surging empathy in the lyrics and the bravery to face the desperate situation, and became the fluorescent light that accompanied countless dark forwarders, giving us warmth and motivation.
But not many people know that the person who can write such a direct lyric is a young and delicate girl, and it is a girl who is walking around the god of death in the late stage of cancer, and her name is Tang Tian.
Born in 1983, Tang Tian has been a well-behaved daughter in the family since she was a child, filial piety to her parents, well-behaved and sensible, and excellent grades.
Sensitive and thoughtful, she showed a rare literary talent at an early age, and began to write many novels and essays while reading.
At that time, Tang Tian was still a little princess loved by her parents and had a sweet life, even if some of the little girls' troubles were probably reflected in the text.
Tang Tian and her peers studied, went to college, graduated, worked, and lived a step-by-step life. She graduated from college and entered the cultural and entertainment channel of Hunan Television Station and became a planning clerk.
Shortly after work, Tang Tian, who has a quiet personality, was assigned to work with her master on the production of the popular album "Black and White Movie", which allowed her to contact and learn about the complete production process of a record, and thus became interested in the creation of lyrics.
At the beginning of 2005, the entertainment channel of Hunan Television Station was transferred to Tianyu Media Company, and Tang Tian's literary talent had a great opportunity to develop his grand plans in lyric writing.
She wrote the theme song "Sing Loudly" for the highly anticipated talent show "Super Girl" at that time, in which the phrase "Sing when you want to sing, sing loudly, even if no one applauds me, at least I can bravely appreciate myself" Was extremely popular and inspired countless young people to overcome cowardice and show themselves.
Tang Tian also wrote "Sweet, I Love You" for Li Yuchun, "Notes" for Zhou Bichang, "If Love Continues" for Zhang Liangying, Why Jie wrote "You Must Be Happy", and "The Sound of Snowflakes Falling" for Tan Weiwei... Later, half of the 11 songs on Super Girl's song album were the works of Tang Tian.
Tang Tian succeeded, her works were often competed for by super female fast male contestants to sing, and she quickly became a rising star among songwriters and began to receive praise and applause.
However, contrary to works that highlight the characteristics of bravery, encouragement, publicity and extroversion, Tang Tian himself is more inclined to be quiet, indisputable, indifferent and introverted.
Tang Tian and her writing in this period are actually still creating for the sake of creation, walking the heart, but not through the soul.
In an interview, Tang Tian said: "If you have a dream, you must insist on it, and if you go in one direction, I think it will always arrive." ”
When Tang Tian said this, she did not know what kind of process she herself would go through in order to "reach her dream", which was not a troublesome difficulty, not a painful failure, but a life and death that made people walk alone in the dark purgatory.
On Chinese New Year's Eve night in 2012, the family reunion was happy for the New Year, but Tang Tian hid in his room and cried. Without turning on the light, nor could he cry out, Tang Tian hugged his shoulder tightly, crying about the unfairness of fate.
Because she had just received a call from a colleague in Beijing, the company's routine physical examination report came out at the end of the year, and Tang Tian was found to have nasopharyngeal cancer, and it had been three stages.
What does stage III NASOPHARY mean? It means that death is already faintly visible.
She is only 29 years old, which is the best age for a woman, she has not yet married and started a family, she has not yet honored her parents, and she has not even fallen in love a few times.
And her career has just started, her favorite creation has not yet reached her goal, and she wants to see a few more concerts of idol Eason Chan...
Is life going to end so early?! Fear clung to Tang Tian's heart.
"Why is fate so true to me? What am I going to do? Tang Tian repeatedly asked himself these two questions after learning the bad news. She couldn't know the answer to the first question, she could only answer the second question.
After crying bitterly, Tang Tian gradually calmed down, and she knew that she needed to think hard about how to answer the second question. Tang Tian did not tell her parents about her illness, and found a reason for work, she returned to Beijing for the first time.
In Beijing's simple, cramped rental house, Tang Tian thought alone for a long time, and she repeatedly wrote down her wishes on a piece of paper: "I want to live past my parents, and I will not let them send white-haired people to black-haired people." ”
That night, for the sake of his parents and his own life of only 29 years old, Tang Tian finally carried the fear of death, trembled and stood up to continue on the road.
"Go? Does it match? This ragged cape. War? Battle! In the humblest of dreams. ”
When Tang Tian wrote this lyric for "The Lone Brave" 9 years later, she must have thought of that night, the self who decided to continue fighting despite being afraid.
Tang Tian began active treatment, and underwent 33 radiotherapy, 2 chemotherapy treatments, and 8 targeted therapies in 2 months.
In fact, compared to being brave, how to persist in bravery is the real test.
The pain that the body had to experience each time could not be expressed in words, and those painful details eroded Tang Tian's determination little by little.
With the deepening of the treatment, Tang Tian's hair fell more and more, mouth ulcers to drinking water like a knife cut, often vomiting, the body became thinner and thinner, she was originally slim and slender, she became as light as a straw, as if the wind could leave as soon as it blew.
Death stood by, patiently waiting for her to give up on her own, then laughing and taking her away.
At this time, Tang Tian was "walking alone in the dark alley", facing despair with the appearance of "not kneeling", and a knife hanging on his head did not know when it would fall.
Tang Tian said: "I never want to give up, I want to do my best to go on." ”
Fortunately, she also has her parents, words and music.
When her body was not so uncomfortable, Tang Tian would listen to the songs of her idol Eason Chan, and she said to her mother, "I can write songs for Eason Chan in the future." When he said this, Tang Tian's haggard face had a rare smile, and his eyes were shining with hope.
Multiple chemicals and radiation therapy had an impact on the brain, and Tang Tian's various feelings began to gradually decline, she could not smell the flowers, and the meals became tasteless. The most terrifying thing is hearing decay, which is simply fatal to a person who is engaged in music creation.
Tang Tian experienced the despair of his heart alone, but on the outside he was "deafening silence".
In May 2012, two elderly people took to the stage of "China Dream Show", and they recited a lyric, and in this "Honor" there are these words that directly poke people's hearts:
"I'm not a bubble, how honored I am to live. What is suffering, not enough to sing?"
This is a song written by Tang Tian on the hospital bed for the idol, which is also the dream that parents want to realize for their daughter.
The host of the program connected with Eason Chan by video on the spot, and Eason Chan, who learned of this matter, was deeply moved, and he praised Tang Tian as a girl who was beautiful, strong and talented by the host.
"Love your tattered clothes, but dare to block the gun of fate." Love you so much like me, notch is the same. ”
In the end, Eason Chan tearfully promised Tang Tian: "Oratorio, any way is good, you wait for me, I will certainly not fail your works." ”
After getting Eason Chan's response, Tang Tian on the phone side was already in tears. This moment the dream came true, all her lone struggles became more meaningful, and her persistence became more purposeful and motivated.
In the face of such a strong faith and roar, even the god of death would be deterred.
Tang Tian's disease was effectively controlled after active treatment, and recurrence was also reduced within the ideal range. In this confrontation with death, Tang Tian won the victory, and the god of death collapsed and fled.
The famous writer Leo Tolstoy said: "Art is not a skill, it is the transmission of feelings experienced by the artist." ”
In the 29 years before she became ill, Tang Tian had many inner feelings, but everything that the calm and waveless life gave her was soft and beautiful. Tang Tian, who had experienced a duel with death, became profound and full of power.
Illness taught Tang Tian a lot, including letting her understand that there are many things in life that need to be relaxed and can be loved heavily, but to be gentle.
It also makes her more aware and understand the pain of others, and her works are no longer just focused on their own emotions, but more to touch the hearts of others and stimulate everyone's love for life.
Thus, there is "The Nameless Man" written for the strivers:
"O nameless man, I toast you with a glass of wine, your silence and every roar. You bend over, go up the mountain to a higher place, and live hard in the sky above your head. “
With "Wish" written in tribute to the ancestors:
"You are where I came from and where my heart is, and all the ways of the world will meet you." And I will love the world you love, and may you smile as you wish. This is the world as you wish. ”
With "The World of Men" written for ordinary people:
"Ordinary us, a body of rain, snow, wind and frost do not ask where to go, with the four seasons of dry glory still singing in the wind." I wish you to step through a thousand waves and stay by your lover's side. ”
……
Unconsciously, 9 years have passed, Tang Tian who has successfully fought cancer is like living again, full of awe and gratitude for life, and is living worthwhile every day.
Because I have experienced it, I understand it better.
In 2021, Tang Tian finally waited for the agreement with idol Eason Chan 9 years ago and was invited to write lyrics for Eason Chan's new song "Lonely Warrior".
This song will serve as the theme song of the world-renowned game IP derivative drama animation "League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities", in addition to resonating with the gamer community, it is also necessary to go beyond the scope of games and animation at the cultural and social levels, sing the spirit of the times, and give courage, faith and hope to hundreds of millions of lonely souls.
It is very difficult, but the kernel is very simple, and this kernel coincides with Tang Tian's experience.
Eason Chan is indeed discerning.
The late writer Lu Yao said: "In fact, each of us lives as a world, and even the most ordinary people have to fight for the world in which he lives." ”
Tang Tian thought of his own days and nights of fighting against the disease, and thought of ordinary people who, like himself, fought against fate and refused to bow their heads.
She wants to create a very "burning" very inspiring song for herself and for other people who bravely face life.
"Without preaching a beautiful attitude, not being brave for the sake of bravery, this song pays tribute to the heroes who look up and walk the night road, those who have a temple in their hearts."
Thus, "The Lone Warrior" turned out to be.
With surging lyrics, catchy melodies and Eason Chan singing passionately, this rare Chinese pop music song that has been seen for many years quickly broke through the circle and became popular.
The hero in the song can be a warrior who fights against the world, or an ordinary person who is unknown around people.
For example, medical workers on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, fire fighters who are retrograde in the sea of fire, construction workers who are not afraid of wind and rain, athletes who work hard, and even children who help others in kindergartens.
"Who says a sludge-covered man is not a hero!" Who says that playing against ordinary people is not a hero! Who says that standing in the light is a hero! ”
The positive energy of positive and enthusiastic encouragement gives the song a longer vitality, and it attracts more and more "fans" without age and gender differences.
The reason why "Lone Brave" can become a "children's song" loved by children is that they can sing when they are sick and afraid, sing when they fail a game, and even when they don't want to get up.
The reason is simple, because everyone has a heroic dream in their hearts, and everyone wants to be a "lone brave" in their own world.
"The Lone Brave" is an excellent work to guide children upwards, to the light, and to the strong.
An adult pop song can be sung orally in the children's circle and turned into a children's song, which is a glorious compliment for "The Lone Brave".
True salvation is the ability to find peace of mind in the midst of suffering, which in turn breeds a more powerful force for life.
Epilogue:
After the popularity of "Lone Brave", Tang Tian did not take the opportunity to make a profit. Because she clearly knows that life is not a big deal except life and death.
Tang Tian's Weibo is still not updated as always, and there is no content within the visible range of half a year. She still wears the plain clothes she used to wear, quietly working, reading, and creating.
Life is still the same for her, even if she is famous, she is not willing to spend time on meaningless socializing and socializing. She is still the "lone brave" in her life, the brave and quiet lone brave.
Those who do not kill us will surely make us stronger.
Thank you for fate, thank you for suffering, let us be ordinary, strong, even in the face of darkness, even if we are alone, we can bravely move forward.
