"Every life is looking for the meaning of existence
Every minute and second the world is doing wonders
I lost my strength a little bit..."
A little loss of strength Xu Jiawei - a little loss of strength
Have you ever listened to this song full of life inspiration?
The song is called "A Little Bit of Loss of Strength", the lyricist is a 27-year-old middle-aged young man, his name is "Liu Xing", not long ago, he participated in a very special musical performance.
On October 17th, in the village of Camel Cypress tree in Ma'an Town, Zizhong County, the night stars like water flickered, and a wisp of warm ripples appeared in the air, and beautiful music and gentle kindness surrounded this star-studded young man, Liu Xing.
Liu Xing is a patient with progressive muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy is similar to the well-known "frostbite", in which patients will have muscle weakness or atrophy due to the continuous degeneration of skeletal muscles, and the ability to move gradually disappear until they completely lose their ability to take care of themselves.
"The name of the song is 'A Little Bit Of Losing Strength,' and I wrote the lyrics." When he said this, Liu Xing tilted his upper body, because of his illness, he could not complete the action of "turning his head", and although his body was awkward, the bright brilliance that naturally exuded in his eyes was even more moving.
"It was the first time I'd heard a song I wrote on the spot being sung by a singer. The feeling of dream fulfillment is what I feel now, right? ”
Freeze the body, freeze the support and love
Liu Xing began to develop the disease at the age of 6, starting with foot pain; walking and wrestling at the age of 9, it was difficult to get up after falling; by the age of 13, he could only drop out of school at home because he could not walk normally.
In the difficult years of Liu Xing's growth, his parents have not stopped looking for a doctor. The local hospital could not see it, and went to Huaxi for consultation, but as soon as the doctor in Huaxi came into contact with his condition, he directly said that the disease could not be cured. Liu Xing's mother said: "We have no culture. I don't know what to do, we can only do our best to let our son live well. ”
Now, Liu Xing's legs cannot walk, his arms cannot be lifted, and he can only do some very small movements. Actions such as sitting on a bed and lying down to sleep also require help. For Liu Xing's mother, there are some difficult actions, if the husband is not at home, her strength alone is not enough, so there is a "secret weapon" - a liftable cargo cart. With this scooter, she can take Liu Xing to wash, go to the toilet, and eat.
The board car that helped Liu Xing act
"The doctor said he could only live to be 18 years old, and now he is almost 28 years old."
Liu Xing's father was silent and had been busy with the family's household chores, which was one of the few words he had ever said.
"Found the meaning of my own existence" through writing
In 2018, he has been trapped in the emotional vortex for a long time, discovered the beauty of music, and found an outlet for emotional catharsis. He began to teach himself vocal music, music theory, lyric writing and other courses through the Internet, and spontaneously absorbed the knowledge of creation.
"My life is always counting down, I can't waste my life, I hope to do what I like to do well, and leave a trace of my existence in the world." 」
Since the beginning of the creation, Liu Xing has continuously written and produced dozens of musical lyrics that express his heart and self. There is "A Little Bit of Loss of Strength" that reflects the inner world; there is "Because There is Love Around" written to the family around him; and "Perfect Love" written to the deceased grandmother... "Music has become a channel for me to communicate with the world," he said. ”
However, just having lyrics without songs is not a complete musical work, so Liu Xing began to clumsily give musicians a private message on Weibo, hoping that someone could compose music for his lyrics. Through unremitting perseverance, he has contacted many musicians.
Among them are Yao Yun, the arranger of "Song of the Five Rings", Xu Jiawei, an actor and singer who has starred in "Drunken Linglong", dai Xiaoxiang, a composer, and so on. These musicians who are active in the music circle give Liu Xing guidance and encouragement through the Internet. Composer Dai Xiaoxiang not only gave Liu Xing musical advice, but also composed music for Liu Xing's lyrics, and invited Liu Xing to Chengdu to personally participate in the recording of the song.
In this way, "A Little Loss of Strength", composed by Liu Xing, composed by Dai Xiaoxiang and sung by Xu Jiawei, was successfully released on major music platforms. At the same time, Liu Xing's other works are also in production.
A star-studded dream come true performance
Listen to a live musical performance and be able to present your own work in the performance. This was a dream that made Liu Xing feel out of reach, but Dai Xiaoxiang took Liu Xing's dream to heart and slowly had a plan to act.
Dai Xiaoxiang is the original initiator of the 3150 Street Music Group, a music group that has been doing street charity performances in Chengdu for a long time, and the members of the group will send the funds raised from the street music scene to the places in need of help in the form of physical objects. Over the years, members of the 3150 street music group have traveled to Liangshan Prefecture and other areas many times to donate supplies to poor schools there and teach music lessons.
On October 17, Dai Xiaoxiang, Xiao Hewei, Chen Naizhen, Du Yu, Li Xinxiu and other musicians from 3150 street music groups came to Camel Cypress Village, Ma'an Town, Zizhong County. In the village playground, Dai Xiaoxiang and his friends set up a simple performance stage, and the stars were dotted as a dream background, creating a fairytale atmosphere.
Liu Xing, who realized his dream, could not calm down for a long time, he said that this performance not only realized his dream, but also brought him more expectations. "I hope that before the age of 35, I can write popular songs. Of course, I also hope that my 'goddess' Tian Fuzhen can sing the songs I wrote. ”
"Although I am getting worse and worse, I will not give up. Many people in our patient group are very pessimistic, saying that fate will be dealt with how to deal with it, and there is nothing they can do. I don't see it that way, if you really don't resist, then before fate can dispose of you, you'll already dispose of yourself in your heart. Liu Xing added with a smile, as my song "Let's Go" wrote:
"Exchange hard work for glory on the stage once shines."
Turn all illusions into concrete ideals
I am willing to continue to fight for my dreams."
