1. The trick of fate
Zhu Lijing, who was born in an ordinary family, has had a deep and lasting love for music since she was a child. She excels at singing beautiful melodies in a variety of styles with a crisp, melodious, heart-warming voice, showing amazing musical talent.
Her relatives and friends have encouraged her to bravely participate in the talent show, so that more listeners can appreciate her unique timbre charm.
Finally, in 2009, the god of luck befell this talented young man. 20-year-old Zhu Lijing bravely stepped into the third season of Taiwan's well-known talent show "Super Idol".
From the beginning of the competition, her sweet and penetrating singing voice firmly grasped the hearts of the judges and the audience.
Whenever Zhu Lijing stepped on the stage, under the dazzling magnesium lights, her beautiful face was always full of confidence and calmness, as if she was born to stand here.
In round after round of fierce competition, Zhu Lijing affectionately performed many popular classic repertoire with her unique timbre, such as "I Do", "If You Have Heard of It" and so on, and every wonderful singing will attract warm applause.
Despite the fierce competition, she has always been steadfast in her belief and has overcome obstacles with perseverance and exceptional talent.
After unremitting efforts, Zhu Lijing finally succeeded in surpassing many powerful opponents and won the championship in the finals with a super high support rate of 97.6%. When she held the trophy in her hand and burst into tears, the scene resounded with thunderous applause and cheers.
All were immensely proud and relieved of this talented young girl. Winning the championship is not only a great tribute to her musical talent, but also a new beginning to be proud of.
Since then, the public has placed high expectations on Zhu Lijing, expecting her to quickly make a name for herself in the music scene. However, just as her career was thriving and her future was bright, a sudden disaster came ruthlessly, bringing a heavy blow to Zhu Lijing.
In 2020, at the age of 40, she was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer. This was tantamount to a heavy blow, and the pain of life instantly dragged her into the lowest point of her life.
In the face of such a cruel reality, Zhu Lijing did not choose to be decadent, but continued to devote herself to music creation with perseverance. She has carefully recorded a brand new album, hoping to find the courage and strength to overcome her illness through music.
However, the cruel reality is that during the treatment, the endless side effects of various drugs have had a huge impact on her otherwise wonderful life. Withered skin, puffy face, and edema all over the body...... Zhu Lijing struggled under the relentless torture of the disease, and before the dawn of the morning had not yet sprinkled the earth, she waited with anticipation for a miracle to come, hoping to win this silent battle.
2. Have the courage to fight
Even in the face of the dilemma that the flame of life is about to be extinguished, Zhu Lijing did not choose to be passive and decadent. As a resolute and optimistic woman, she straightened her back and looked for the dawn of a new life with great courage and perseverance.
Back at a public welfare ceremony in October 2021, Zhu Lijing announced to the world the fact that she was suffering from cancer with an extremely bold attitude. The audience surged like a tide, and countless fans gazed at the once energetic girl with concern and eagerness.
Zhu Lijing's face was pale, but her eyes were firm, and she admitted that the disclosure of her illness was just to keep her relatives and friends from worrying too much, and she was reluctant to disclose more details for the time being.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Lijing chose to deal with her condition in a low-key manner was not out of fear, but out of deep love for her elderly father, and she was afraid that the bad news would bring an unbearable blow to the elderly.
In front of relatives and friends, she has always maintained her previous optimism and cheerfulness, rarely mentioning the details of her condition.
Zhu Lijing is not alone, her relatives and friends see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts. They witnessed the hardships she went through during the treatment process, and also witnessed her love and dedication to life.
Whenever Zhu Lijing walks on the stage of a public event, that resolute and optimistic spirit can always infect every audience present.
Facing the camera, she always straightens her chest and walks vigorously, exuding the determination to fight the disease to the end.
Although the road to fighting cancer is full of thorns, Zhu Lijing still greets every new dawn with a smile. In addition to actively participating in charity performances, she also pays attention to social issues, often speaking out for the disadvantaged and calling for more attention to poverty and disease.
Even though her life is coming to an end, she still cares about the world and conveys warmth in her own way.
As for treatment, Zhu Lijing is a strong advocate of adjusting the diet and taking Chinese herbs to fight the disease. "I want to overcome this disease in my own way" - this is the belief that she has always adhered to.
Although her family and friends were worried about this, they were also deeply moved by her dedication to life.
3. Emotional twists and turns
When the talented Zhu Lijing was in a fierce life-and-death battle with the disease, another sudden emotional storm mercilessly knocked her down again, putting her in a desperate situation and suffering heavy blows in her heart.
Zhu Lijing and her boyfriend's long-distance love run has gone through a long and perfect 12 years, and the relationship between the two is deep and stable, which is enviable. However, who would have expected that this seemingly happy relationship would come to an end at the most difficult time in Zhu Lijing's life.
The man proposed to break up without warning, but the reason was vague and incomprehensible.
When this news came to her ears, Zhu Lijing's heart was undoubtedly extremely painful. As a woman who has been in love for 12 years, she naturally can't easily let go of this feeling.
Zhu Lijing has always been brave and full of passion, constantly challenging herself on the road of music and climbing new heights.
In the face of this huge crisis of feelings, she also did not flinch and did her best to save this relationship.
However, all efforts eventually came to naught. Faced with her boyfriend's determination to break up, although Zhu Lijing was grief-stricken, she had no choice but to let go silently.
Having lost her close lover who had been with her for many years, Zhu Lijing suffered an indescribable blow. This pain of gaining and losing has undoubtedly added more physical and mental burdens to her on the road to fighting cancer.
My friends watched all this and were heartbroken.
Zhu Lijing, who used to be a vibrant, happy woman, has sweet love, a brilliant career and a bright future. However, fate is like a cunning magician, and the double blow of illness and breakup makes her fall into unprecedented despair and pain in an instant.
Fortunately, Zhu Lijing did not give up completely because of this. At the launch of the new album, although her face was slightly tired, she still showed extraordinary courage and perseverance, inspiring everyone on the scene with an optimistic attitude, and never let fate easily defeat her.

Zhu Lijing's death undoubtedly brought a sad haze to the elliptical music scene. Her relatives and friends all burst into tears, and countless fans spontaneously mourned her on the Internet, expressing their admiration and reluctance to her.
The impermanence and fragility of life have suddenly awakened people's attention to the issue of heritage disposal. In the face of the irresistible end of her life, Ms. Zhu Lijing, with her calm and calm attitude, has already carefully sketched a detailed and thorough blueprint for her future.
She made a special trip to tailor a spacious, clean and comfortable cemetery for herself, and also carefully selected a beautiful shroud. According to people familiar with the matter, Zhu Lijing was full of deep love for music before her death, so she skillfully integrated the musical elements she loved all her life into the design of this shroud, looking forward to sleeping forever in the arms of music in this way.
In addition, Ms. Zhu Lijing also wrote a will herself. According to the content of the will, all the property in her name up to 32 million yuan was generously donated to her closest sister.
