Lin Yilian's music road is very long.
On April 8 this year, she released a song "You Healed My Loneliness", the pilot song of a group of musicians' "Incompletely Self-Help Manual".
Lin Yilian uses a plain and delicate singing style, like an old friend, to narrate.

During this May Day holiday, Lin Yilian also appeared at the Nanjing Midou Music Festival and the Tianjin Bubble Island Music Festival.
Short hair, neat and sassy.
The body shape and voice are impeccable.
At the age of 58, as soon as she opened her voice, she still shocked the audience.
Especially at the Tianjin scene, the explosive "Zero".
"Zero everything to zero at this moment / Dream equals the future, the future"
Zero, Lin Yilian
Netizens at the scene said, "The highly infectious treble F5 is like a refrain that challenges the limits of function", bursting out with emotional and grand power.
"There's her soul in the song. ”
✏️
In 1966, Lin Yilian was born in Hong Kong.
The music atmosphere at home is strong, my father likes to play erhu, and my mother likes to sing Shaoxing opera.
In 1982, she became a part-time radio DJ, but her favorite thing is singing.
Musician Lu Yemei recalled her initial impression, "her voice is very thin and her breath is insufficient".
If you are not a genius, you will make up for it the day after tomorrow.
Active apprenticeship, Du Lisha, Chen Jieling, Zeng Lude...... To achieve the ultimate training, swimming, climbing, training lung capacity, and practicing qi and voice are more routine......
Lu Yemei later praised her, "Envy her success, can you afford the blood, sweat and tears behind her?"
In 1994, many divas and queens were on the same stage. Lin Yilian sang a passage in "Still", rising 9 keys in a row, which can be called a god scene.
At the end of the 80s, everyone sang bitter love songs, but she was quite individual, and in her second album "Indulgence", she added a lot of psychedelic electric songs, which were like modernist art, showing the confusion and rebellion of young people.
Constantly experimenting with various musical styles, jazz, R&B, New Wave dance music......
In 1991, her album "Wild Flowers" (now "posthumously" as a classic) was full of oriental mystical charm, and was once said by Alan Tam to be "high and low"......
After the sales of "Wildflower" were cold, Lin Yilian had to compromise with business......
In 1992, she collaborated with Li Zongsheng for the first time to create the theme song "When Love Is a Thing of the Past" for the movie "Farewell My Concubine".

The story after that is known to everyone.
Li Zongsheng, who already has a family, has feelings for her, and her career is traumatized and she avoids Canada.
Li Zongsheng chased after him, and in the cold wind of the Vancouver night, he composed the song "Blown by the Cold Wind for You and Me".

Who can escape the turn of love into clouds and rain on it?
The two got married in 1998 and gave birth to a daughter, and everyone thought it was a "match made in heaven", but 6 years later, the two broke up.
Those love songs that make us sigh may be the harvest of God letting them fall in love......
The aging Li Zongsheng sang the song "When Love Is a Thing of the Past" at the concert. When Lin Yilian's face when he was young appeared on the big screen, he suddenly choked up and couldn't sing. Lin Yilian has also burst into tears at concerts many times......
After more than ten years of divorce, Li Zongsheng remarried. Lin Yilian once fell in love with Gong Shuoliang, the drummer of the Hong Kong music scene, for 8 years, and broke up in 2019.
Accustomed to listening to 90s love songs, we always thought she was stuck there.
In fact, in music, Lin Yilian has been moving forward.
In 2012, 46-year-old Lin Yilian released the album "Gaia".
From the theme to the style of music, it has been well received and is known as the "god specialty".
This album is named after Mother Earth, she sings about religion, about humanity, about nature......

The Golden Melody Award commented on her award:
"The singer is also a producer, who determines the consciousness and attitude of the whole album, returns to the essence of music, and leads the Chinese music scene to a new direction. ”
Six years later, in 2018, the album "0" was released, which means "zero will be reborn".
The title song "Chauvin" focuses on social issues and tells the awakening of women's consciousness.
In the repertoire, after "Chauvin", there is the passionate "Zero".
She has been adding her own ideas and thoughts about music, from "Wildflowers" more than 30 years ago, to the 58-year-old now.
Lin Yilian's music world is very broad.
What turns all beings upside down is never only love songs, but also her power and soul in music.
