In 2017, a hip-hop wave swept through the summer. That year we knew freestyle, we knew what rap was, and we learned about this blood-boiling culture.
It was also in that year that we learned about many excellent rappers, and Song Yueting was a very legendary rapper.
For Song Yueting, life is a long struggle, but even if there are many difficulties to face every day, life still has to be lived hard.
Young Song Yueting likes to paint, and the back of the manuscript paper discarded by his parents and the top of the discarded script are his masterpieces. When he was young, Song Yueting's relationship with his parents was not very good, because his parents were always busy with work and rarely took care of him.
His father, who came back at two o'clock in the morning, his mother who often worked overtime, and his waking up in his sleep because of his parents' quarrels were all the norms that Song Yueting was accustomed to.
In this way, Song Yueting slowly grew into a young man, 14-year-old because he suffered from severe sinusitis, in order to get better treatment, so his mother sent him to Los Angeles to study.
Song Yueting, who was sent abroad, became more free because she did not have the discipline of her parents, and rap was a very common and popular way of singing in foreign countries.
Song Yueting, who is on the other side of the ocean, has slowly fallen in love with this culture in such an atmosphere. On the other side of the ocean, in addition to this singing culture, there are also dark gangs that we don't know.
The hardest thing to guess and the hardest thing to understand in the world is the human heart. At that time, Song Yueting was only 19 years old, and when he saw his friends being bullied, he wanted to help his friends, so he pretended to be a member of a gang to intimidate the other party.
However, after the incident, the friend he helped colluded with others to betray him, so Song Yueting was sentenced to 3 months in prison and suspended for three years.
Many good works seem to have been created from grief, and Song Yueting, who spent 3 months in prison, saw many things and had many feelings.
Outside the railing and inside the railing are two distinct worlds, and the people in the prison do not seem to be kind, each with its own fierceness. But without exception, their eyes are full of yearning and longing for freedom.
Song Yueting witnessed a variety of life changes in these three months, and some people put away their family letters one by one, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world. Some people have given up their lives, can't stand this dull and sick environment and begin to become mentally abnormal.
For Song Yueting, these three months of prison life seemed to have passed as long as three years, and he felt so happy to breathe the fresh air outside again.
Song Yueting, who has been fighting hard for his life, could not imagine that he had failed after all, and a few years later, Song Yueting, who was in excruciating pain, went to the hospital to examine his body, and this investigation allowed him to see the end of his life.
In the advanced stage of bone cancer, Song Yueting looked at these words and just silently digested the known facts. He didn't tell anyone, just silently took medicine and treated himself.
Song Yueting's mother only learned the news of her son's cancer through others a long time later, at that time, the complexity and pain in her heart we don't know, but think about it, that feeling should be very painful.
On August 9, 2002, perhaps Song Yueting sensed something that day, and he was very insistent on going home despite the persuasion of others.
When he got home, he watched the sun recede on the couch, and the sky outside slowly covered with a black veil, so he slept quietly in his mother's arms and never woke up again.
It was probably the quietest time he had with his mother.
After Song Yueting's death, his mother and brother sorted out all the songs that Song Yueting had written and released them into an album called "Life's A Struggle" (Life is a Struggle).
In the 18th month after his death, this posthumous work successfully defeated Jay Chou and Faye Wong and won the Best Lyricist Award at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards that year.
At this time, Song Yueting, like the Van Gogh he loved, lived in pain, and the art created in grief was praised after death.
Life is a long river, and we never know what kind of suffering this river will give you, what kind of treasure it will give you, or when it will mercilessly swallow your life.
Life is a struggle, may you and I win.
