"Flooded! Run for your life!! ”
The man slammed the basement door hard and yelled in his throat.
This is the recording studio of musician Wang Yiping.
It was early in the morning.
The two people in the house suddenly woke up, jumped up, but fell into the water.
worst! There was water in the basement!
They subconsciously look at the device.
It's too late.
Everything was soaked in the water.
Recording equipment, recorded mastering, samples...
The lyrics curl up and down in the muddy water.
The water level rises rapidly.
The girl still wanted to fish, and Wang Yiping dragged her.
"It's important to save your life."
The two stumbled and ran outside.
A moment after escaping, water flooded the basement.
It's dangerous.
They stayed up late to record songs and fell asleep at the table.
If it wasn't for the landlord knocking on the door, it would have died here.
The cold rain poured down on them, and they were instantly awake.
The girl pursed her lips, her mind blank.
Nothing came to the rescue.
The two stood in the rain and watched as the flood washed up the basement.
They were like stray dogs, soaking wet and wretched.
It was September 2001.
A Typhoon Nali ravaged the area and destroyed countless homes.
Their hopes were also destroyed on that rainy night.
The girl is Asan.
Wang Yiping is her agent.
Recording studios and equipment were scrapped in floods.
He lost nearly 4 million and nearly went bankrupt.
And Asan, the album that was about to be recorded was destroyed.
The efforts of the two men for several years were in vain in an instant.
At this time, it is still two years before Asan became popular with a song "Leaves".
She was still obscure, as faint as an ant.
No one thought she could fire.
Except for Wang Yiping.
"Do you want to do it again?"
"I thought, but..."
Asan felt ashamed of Wang Yiping and almost gave up.
"Okay, then let's start again."
She looked up, and had the courage to move forward.
Little did she know at the time that this would not be her last fate.
Asan, as the name suggests, has gone through vicissitudes.
Before meeting "Bo Le" Wang Yiping, she had been secretly working hard for many years.
When I was a child, my parents were emotionally discordant and often quarreled.
Asan was tired of such a life.
"I want to escape, and the way to escape is to sing."
She was alone, singing and singing.
Sing those inexplicable, wet little emotions.
Asan and his sister
In 1995, Asan graduated from high school and was admitted to the Taiwan Art Work Corps.
Finally, I can sing on stage.
But at the same time, she is also responsible for hosting, dancing, making props, sewing costumes, handling equipment...
Compared to singers, it is more like logistics, and the work is trivial and boring.
Fei Yuqing, who worked in the art team, said:
"I'm most afraid of being transferred to the costume group and the small prop group."
But Asan cherished this opportunity and stayed for five years.
In 2000, the Volunteer Corps was downsized.
Asan had to leave, form a band with a few friends, and sing in a bar.
It was also this year that she met Bó Lè, who changed the rest of her life.
Famous music producer, Wang Yiping.
Wang Yiping admired her potential and trained her for a year, from vocals to melody.
Subsequently, the sample tape is officially recorded.
Their ups and downs began.
For the first time, they recorded 6 songs.
Immediately after the sample tape was sent, a record company expressed interest and asked them to push back other invitations.
Asan was very happy and thought that his good singing career was about to begin.
They declined other offers and waited patiently.
I didn't expect to be shelved for half a year.
Wang Yiping couldn't help but come to the door, but the other party was divided:
"The record industry is sluggish, she is not a beautiful girl, it is difficult to do..."
Once the dream shattered, they returned to the original point.
Just when the two were frowning, Wang Yiping received a call from the musician Yao Qian.
"Asan is pretty good."
Before he could be happy, Yao Qian continued to say his intentions.
It turned out that I wanted to buy a song in the sample tape, "Far Away and Fly High".
"I want to sing, not people."
Later Asan laughed at himself.
At that time, many friends advised her: "Asan, change your job." ”
But she was not reconciled.
Wang Yiping also wanted to fight for it again.
The response to these 6 songs was mediocre, and he decided to overturn it and start over.
He rewrote 10 songs, little by little, composing, arranging, and recording.
Asan worked part-time to make ends meet while recording songs.
The new album is gradually being perfected.
But bad luck grabbed them once again.
In September 2001, a typhoon flooded all equipment and cassettes.
A week later the water receded, and the two looked at the wretched studio, relatively speechless.
Wang Yiping was almost bankrupt.
Everyone advised him to give up.
This girl's appearance is as pale as a chrysanthemum, no matter how hard to hold it, why throw money again.
Wang Yiping was like a red-eyed gambler, extremely persistent.
He borrowed money to finance production costs, borrowed equipment and studios from friends, and struggled to remake albums.
He did win the bet.
Two years later, With this record, Ah Sauna knocked on the door of Huayan Company.
Then with a song "Leaves", it became a hit.
At the beginning of the millennium, Asan was red.
She is the "sad singer" of a generation's memory.
Many works are sung in the streets and alleys: "Leaves", "Loneliness is Singing", "Always Quiet"...
Many people don't know her, but when the song sounds, it will be clear:
Oh, it's her.
The song is red, which is a spell that she cannot escape.
But Asan didn't care.
She didn't want to be popular, just quietly sang her favorite song.
She sings Lonely:
Loneliness is a person's revelry
Carnival is the loneliness of a group of people
leaf
Asan - a little injured
Sing Love Without:
This city is too disguised,
Love is like neon lights.
Whoever leaves, forgets to turn off the lights, and makes the dream too brilliant.
Got a little injured
The first album " Got a Little Hurt " received a warm response.
The first time many people hear it, they are captured by her slightly magnetic and clean voice.
She whispered softly, mournfully.
Interpret the word loneliness as lively and cold.
At that time, the street shops often played her songs.
Young people will also listen to the tape CD together and hum along with it.
The title song "Leaves" also invited the popular Selina and Zheng Yuanchang to shoot the MV.

Everyone said that Asan had survived.
At the press conference, she personally mixed a "bitter and sweet" cocktail.
The audience applauded thunderously.
And she drank all the wine in her glass, and her eyes were red and red.
In 2004, Asan was shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer.
The record label took advantage of the chase and released its second album the following year, Lonely Singing.
But this time, there were significantly fewer people listening to the song.
At that time, in the entertainment industry, popular newcomers such as the carp across the river.
Jay Chou, Lin Junjie, Zhang Shaohan, Jolin Tsai, Liang Jingru...
Compared to them, Asan didn't have any heat.
The new album "Lonely Singing" quietly hit the shelves of various record stores.
Then it was shelved and ashes.
Despite Asan's promotion everywhere, sales were still far less than expected.
After the contract ended, the company did not renew the contract.
She left in a daze.
The album sold poorly, but "Always Quiet" in it was half the sky.
The love given to you has been quiet
Come in exchange for the care you occasionally give
Obviously, it is a movie of three people
I can't always have a name
It was quiet all the time
Asan - Lonely singing
The song is a soundtrack to The Legend of the Paladin Sword.
The lyricist, Fang Wenshan, gave it to Lin Yueru in the play.
Lin Yueru loved Li Xiaoyao deeply, but she could only retreat to the side, and finally disappeared.
In the darkness, it seems to foreshadow the end of the singer Asan.
After leaving the company, Asan did not give up singing.
She and Wang Yiping came to the mainland to develop and actively planned their third album.
It was also at this time that she met the good man of fate.
She plans to get married.
The song has a cheerful color.
At this point in the story, maybe you guessed the follow-up.
Asan failed to put on his wedding dress.
In 2007, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
In October 2008, it was told that it was late.
She didn't want everyone to worry and kept her condition hidden.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally only told her family.
So much so that later, when friends learned of Assan's death, no one believed it.
"How could it be, isn't she ready to get married?"
Zhang Zhicheng, the master brother, once practiced songs and publicity with her, and was in love with her brothers and sisters.
Asan and his brother Zhang Zhicheng
After confirming the news, he was stunned for half a day, and then he lost his voice and cried bitterly.
He canceled all announcements and banquets.
Shouting on the blog: "Sang! You're back! Brother I'm so sad! ”
In the message area, Asan's avatar never appeared again.
Asan's blog also stopped on June 10, 2008.
Asan's last blog post
"I'm all right, wait a few more days!"
Asan was really optimistic.
She had always foolishly believed that she would be cured.
She comforted her weeping mother at the bedside:
"Mom, I'm getting sick and learning English, guitar, and playing English songs for you."
Before she died, she was in pain and unconscious.
But still remind the family:
"Don't add too much morphine, I'm afraid it will be addictive when I get sick."
On April 6, 2009, Asan died of illness.
Her dreams, her pain, came to an abrupt end.
I still remember that day.
The table mate told me, "Asan is gone. ”
I don't believe it. I was listening to her tapes a few days ago.
I approached Nokia's tiny screen.
I read the hundred-word news over and over many times.
Finally, it was confirmed that the Asan who died in the news was the Same Asan.
In those days, the QQ signatures of many classmates were changed to her.
"MissIng Asan."
"Listen, loneliness is singing."
She once said that she was weak in singing.
But she still occupies a certain weight in the hearts of many people.
The person listening to the song remembers her.
Her closest friends and relatives remember even more.
On the day of the farewell ceremony, many people came.
The family knew that she did not want everyone to grieve.
They invited florists to decorate the scene with flowers.
Surrounded by flowers, Asan smiled and talked in the photo.
There was no concert, which is Asan's regret.
The farewell ceremony turned into a musical memorial service.
The song "Leaves" was played on a loop.
Like a nightingale crying blood, it lasts forever.
After the farewell ceremony, Asan was buried at the Tianxiang Pagoda Zen Temple in Taipei.
It is surrounded by mountains and greenery, mist is swirling, and sanskrit sounds are pure.
Very suitable for Asan's temperament.
A flash of 12 years passed.
This year, Asan was supposed to be 46 years old.
Maybe back home, maybe still writing new songs.
Now we can only turn out the old song and listen to it again.
Asan's good friend Yang Lele once said:
"She works hard and has peace of mind. Not a big hit, but live a very happy life. ”
This is perhaps the best interpretation of Asan.
Just 34 years of life.
She never compromised and moved silently on her own path.
At the same time, it is clear and calm, free and calm.
To this day, there are still people in the song comment area, telling their hearts.
She became a tree hole, quietly accommodating all sadness and confusion.
Time back to 2001.
Asan, 26, soaks in the underground recording studio every night. Outside is the eternal night, gentle and deep.
She blossomed like a dark night, singing the sample over and over again.
Until every detail is perfect.
Finally the play button was pressed.
A clear song sounded.
It's dawn...
