I don't want to cry. "

There are patients fighting cancer, firefighters who have come and gone, anti-narcotics police officers who have just joined the police, and ordinary people who are preparing for important exams...

This Behind this touching song is a strong girl who has been fighting cancer for 9 years.

Those deadly lyrics are the tempering of her life.

She said: "Written to ordinary people who, like me, walk alone at night."

At the peak of her career, suffering from cancer

It was New Year’s Eve in 2011 when I received the notification of nasopharyngeal cancer.

On the night of reunion with all the lights on, Tang Tian posted on Weibo:

"On New Year's Eve, I was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. I hid in my room and cried, I wrote many wishes, but the most important one is: I want to live longer than my parents, and I can’t let them give up their white hair to their black hair.”

After posting on Weibo, she said nothing and remained strong. Had the New Year's Eve dinner with my family.

Later, she left home and rushed back to Beijing alone. She underwent a comprehensive check-up and celebrated the New Year alone.

She did not notify her parents until chemotherapy was scheduled.

In the next 2 months, she underwent 2 rounds of chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiotherapy.

During the treatment, even water could not be used. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were carried out at the same time, and the entire mouth was completely ulcerated.

Chemotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer is based on the head and may stimulate the surrounding complex nerves, so the patient will suddenly lose hearing, smell, and taste.

You don’t know which day a certain feeling will suddenly leave you, and when God will return it to you depends entirely on luck.

One night during chemotherapy, Tang Tian and his mother went out for a walk. Passing under an osmanthus tree on the side of the road, her mother said casually: "The osmanthus smells so good."

Tang Tian couldn't smell it. She could only echo: "Ah, yes."

After returning home, she wrote a sentence:

"God lent me my sense of smell, When will you give it back to me?"

"Bad Fairy Tale" written for He Jie was written at this stage.

Every sentence speaks of Tang Tian’s own voice:

“I have been slapped painfully by the reality of my dreams. If you can’t beat me, I will die in desperation. . ”

She is trying to make a living out of a desperate situation.

In May 2012, her parents went on the "China Dream Show" without telling her, hoping to help their daughter realize her dream while she could still see and hear.

Tang Tian’s parents were a little nervous on the stage and recited a new lyric she wrote on the hospital bed.

"I cry when I'm in pain, and I sleep when I cry. Can you understand this ordinary humbleness and the overwhelming feeling?"

Tang Tian's mother said: " My daughter is sick now, and I just want to fulfill her dream. Her favorite musician is Eason Chan, and she hopes he can sing a song she wrote.

"

Eason Chan said in the program link that he will definitely cooperate with Tang Tian if there is an opportunity in the future:

"Whether it is a cappella or not, no matter what, I will not let down your work. ”

Luck finally favored this optimistic and strong girl.

After treatment, Tang Tian’s nasopharyngeal cancer was cured without any sequelae.

A fledgling, talented person

Tang Tian was born in Hunan in 1983

Probably because of the love she developed during school, she has a passion for music. Writing has its own unique insights.

In 2004, Tang Tian graduated from university and entered Hunan TV as an intern. At that time, the entire entertainment department of Hunan TV was preparing for "Super Girl".

As an intern, Tang Tian was not qualified to participate in this program.

At that time, she worked with her teacher to produce Hunan Satellite TV's first local pop album "Black and White Movie". This was her first time. Being exposed to the entire production of records laid the foundation for her to become a lyricist in the future.

In June 2005, Tang Tian's career began. She transferred to Tianyu Media with the entertainment channel and left Changsha. , went to Beijing to participate in the phenomenon-level talent show "Super Girl".

For the super girls in front of the stage, this is a stage to shine; but for Tang Tian, ??it is a huge pressure. and workload.

That year, Tang Tian was like a bird fluttering in the wind. Beijing was too big for her.

He wrote in his own notes:

"I just took a public transport, and then went to the far north. When I got off the bus, I saw the Capital Airport in Beijing. There was a bit of cool wind at night, and there were people queuing up for the bus. , I was walking alone, very lonely."

This kind of panic lasted for a few months, but Tang Tian soon adjusted her condition. As a newcomer, she had the right She has passion and dreams in this industry, and she wants to do better and longer.

She spends time practicing writing every day.

“The lyrics are stories with themes, and I go there every day. Pick 2 or 3 topics that resonate with me. That means writing two or three lyrics. "

Tang Tian once said in an interview that he is not a particularly talented person, he just loves writing and perseveres.

Hard work pays off.

In 2005, "Super Girl"'s first chorus album "Super Girl Ultimate PK" was released. Among the 11 songs included, she alone wrote half of the lyrics for the entire album.

Zhou Bichang's. "Notes", He Jie's "You Must Be Happy", Zhang Liangying's "If Love Goes On", and Tan Weiwei's "The Sound of Falling Snow" are all her outstanding achievements

She just entered the music scene. , she was able to write a few popular songs, and her talent was beyond doubt.

However, just when Tang Tian was about to make a big splash, fate played a cruel joke on her.

What greeted her was not a bright future, but cancer

So she turned the pen in her hand into a gun and gambled with her fate.

After experiencing life and death, Tang Tian has changed.

She threw away all the colorful clothes before she fell ill.

Because those clothes represented the vivid Tang Tian before, which was her fresh clothes. Ma's youth.

But what has really changed is not just her dressing style.

Fate took away her youth,

but gave her the ability to perceive life

During the treatment, she Wrote the lyrics for Shang Wenjie's "Final Faith" and Yao Beina's "Love Without Hesitation".

"In front, there is a glimmer of light, and the night is bright."

"We have loved, laughed, been hurt, and been defeated by time."

It is precisely after experiencing pain that we can use a few words to outline the determination to struggle in pain and move forward positively.

After her illness, she also established a new life purpose, "All worries should last no more than 24 hours."

In "Light Chaser", she wrote about love but not being able to get it.

"Whenever I raise my head for you, even my tears feel free. Some love is like heavy rain, but I still believe in the rainbow."

She did not overly blame those who invest in love. People are humble, but it illustrates that after being hurt, they still believe in their own strength.

In "Decent", which has been circulated by countless people in "The Story of My Ex", she writes about dignity after a breakup.

"Don't pile up nostalgia and make the plot become bloody. After loving you for many years, why ruin the classic. If it's too late, make it more exciting. Just keep the dignity of saying goodbye."

She encourages girls to have their own self-respect and dignity no matter what they go through.

In "Orchid Grass", which was changed for "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", she wrote about the strength of women as tough and sonorous.

"I went to the mountains, bringing orchids and grass with me. The wind and rain in the mountains were heavy, and the cliffs were blooming. I didn’t want to live in a greenhouse, facing the wind and basking in the moonlight. I admired the vastness of the sky and the earth, and the sonorous meaning of the flowers."

In the just-released "Human World", she writes about the joys and sorrows of fate.

"The world is bitter, love will be separated and the rain will fall, the world is sweet, no matter how far you go, remember to go home."

Netizens commented, "Sung to my heart. , I can’t stop crying.”

This year, Eason Chan's "Lonely Warrior" was released, and in just one night, the number of views on the entire network exceeded 200 million.

After 9 years, Tang Tian finally fulfilled her dream, and she and Eason Chan fulfilled their agreement with each other.

This luminous girl was finally seen by everyone.

Some people say that the lonely hero is not only the hero in the game, but also the struggle and life of every ordinary person.

Tang Tian tells everyone that no matter whether you are lonely or ordinary, even if your clothes are in tatters and you are covered in mud, there will still be people who love you and you can be your own hero.

No matter whether the dream is humble or aloof, as long as you have the courage, you can sing:

"Go? Go, with the humblest dream."

"Fight? Fight, with the most lofty dream."

Some people say that at different ages, they fell in love with different songs of Tang Tian.

And she is writing her own life with songs.

Before falling ill, Tang Tian’s works were filled with dreams, youth and love;

When facing cancer, her tenacity and shining vitality can be seen in her works;

After recovering from the illness, she immediately rekindled her love for life.

Tang Tian cannot help but face death. Because of this, every word of hers has the power to touch people's hearts, and every song of hers is filled with fresh life.

Finally, I would like to pay tribute to every lonely warrior walking in the world. You are all your own heroes!
