In 1981, a small family, a musical genius was born with his fate hanging by a thread. She is the singer Yao Beina, who later became a sensation across the country. Her parents are well-known musicians in Shenzhen, and their lives are not rich but very warm.
Since Yao Beina was sensible, the seeds of music have been sown deeply in her heart. She always likes to shake her head along to the tune and hum a melody from time to time. On her 4th birthday, she received her first gift - a small electronic keyboard, and since then she has embarked on the road to music.
At the age of 9, Yao Beina sang on stage for the first time and touched everyone with her immature singing voice. The audience burst into thunderous applause, and the tears of relief from the parents rolled in their eyes.
Since then, Yao Beina has been known as a music prodigy, and has continued to win various competition awards under the careful cultivation of her parents. At the age of 16, she won the championship in the finals of the National Youth Song Contest on behalf of Hubei, and the hometown media rushed to report the story of this Chudi singer.
For a while, Yao Beina's childish face appeared in major newspapers and magazines, and her parents also received telephone interviews. They are very proud of their daughter.
During her college years, Yao Beina not only performed in South Korea many times, but also won gold in the National College Student Music Competition. At the China Conservatory of Music, she received a good education, mastered singing skills, and made many friends in the circle.

In 2005, as soon as Yao Beina graduated from university, she joined the Song and Dance Troupe of the Political Department of the Navy and began her acting career. At first, the parents were a little worried about the prospect of their daughter joining the entertainment industry.
However, they were soon impressed by Yao Beina's performance - in her first year with the troupe, she starred in the lead role of the musical "Golden Sands", which won the director's praise; In the second year, he performed with popular singers at the "Filmmakers' New Year Gala".
Yao Feng and Li Xinmin were relieved to find that their daughter not only has strength and is comfortable in the entertainment industry, but also is very loved by the director and peers.
One winter day in 2007, Yao Beina excitedly informed her parents on the phone of the news - she was favored by the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team and will perform with veteran singers on Chinese New Year's Eve! For a newcomer who has only debuted for two years, it is undoubtedly a great honor to stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Under Yao Beina's wonderful singing, the parents excitedly witnessed their daughter's fame in the entertainment industry with the national audience. At the end of the song, the phone rang again at home, and the up-and-coming newcomer was discussed everywhere.
In 2010, Yao Beina appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again. So far, she has completely become a household name. The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala that year were excellent, and Yao Beina also stole the show in the show.
The parents were delighted to find that this shy and shy girl had grown into the center of the stage. The success of her daughter also made the old couple tell her story in front of relatives and friends - how she entered the public eye step by step and finally achieved glory.
The harsh reality is riddled with cancer
In 2011, when Yao Beina's career was in full swing, she sat on a hospital bench with her family again. "Breast cancer is advanced. The doctor's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting Yao Feng and Li Xinmin to the ground.
They couldn't believe that the cancer they often reported in the news would find their daughter. What is even more desperate is that the cancer has spread and chemotherapy must be taken immediately.
Out of the ward, Li Xinmin leaned on her husband's shoulder with tears streaming down her face, who was also clenching her teeth in pain.
The following days became the Yao family's biggest nightmare. Yao Beina received the first round of chemotherapy with her hair on her head, and soon more than half of her hair fell out. In the mirror, she is ugly, and she has red circles under her eyes and videos with her parents.
They looked at their daughter's emaciated face and withered hair, and they couldn't help but cry like rain. For more than a year, Yao Beina has been in and out of the inpatient department repeatedly. Life is shaking in the face of illness from time to time, and parents are even more worried.
Finally, with the help of the doctor, Yao Beina gradually regained her strength. "It's going to be fine!" On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Yao Feng hugged his daughter and whispered, not knowing whether he was comforting his daughter or self-hypnosis.
However, the good times did not last long, and only two years later, the bad news struck again. "Dear parents, we have detected that the patient's cancer cells have recurred and spread rapidly, and they are already in a terminal state......" Before the doctor's words were finished, Li Xinmin was already crying bitterly.
Yao Feng hugged his wife tightly, his lips pale. They could no longer imagine that their daughter would go through that torture again. What made them even more desperate was that Yao Beina gave up her plan for active treatment this time.
Parents who died young, were devastated by their grief
On a cold morning in January 2015, a mournful cry suddenly sounded in the hospital room, startling everyone waiting outside the door. Yao Feng hugged his lifeless daughter and cried bitterly, and Li Xinmin grabbed her daughter's hand and prayed loudly to God to save her soul.
However, it was too late, and 33-year-old Yao Beina passed away quietly.
The sudden departure of the daughter completely shattered the hearts of the old couple. They returned to their hometown with their daughter's cold body and buried it on an evergreen hillside. On the lawn in front of the tomb, Yao Feng spelled out the word "Bena" with the small white flowers that his daughter liked before her death.
Whenever the breeze blows, a few petals fall from the word "Na", as if God is repeating to take away his most beloved daughter.
Day after day, Yao Feng and Li Xinmin spent time at home when they missed their illness. Everyone who talked about Yao Beina was about to dry up their tears. In order to continue their daughter's musical dream, the old couple gathered their daughter's unpublished posthumous works and held commemorative performances on a regular basis.
Every fan at the scene burst into tears when they heard Yao Beina's voice, and Yao Feng and Li Xinmin also held each other's cold hands to comfort each other.
Seven years have passed, and Yao Beina's death is still a nightmare that the old couple can't get rid of. Whenever his daughter's death day comes, Li Xinmin will definitely sit in front of his daughter's grave and stay awake all night.
