Since she was a child, she has had a special love for music, as if there is a kind of magic pulling her.
Whenever music plays in the house, she listens intently, swaying gently to the rhythm.
Her mother discovered her talent in music and decided to fully support her interests, providing her with various opportunities to learn music.
Under the careful guidance of her mother, she began her musical journey. Not only did she sing well, but she also learned to play a variety of instruments, such as piano, violin, etc.
Despite the difficulties and setbacks she sometimes encountered during her studies, she never gave up and firmly believed that if she worked hard, she would be able to achieve her dreams.
In elementary school, she showed extraordinary musical talent. Whenever there are cultural and artistic activities in the school, she will actively participate, and use singing and playing musical instruments to add a lot of color to the campus life.
Her performances always won warm applause and cheers from the audience, which made her love music even more.
By the time she reached secondary school, her musical talent was more widely recognized.
In a municipal music competition, she enthusiastically signed up after learning the news.
On the day of the competition, she stood on the stage in a simple and elegant costume, took a deep breath, and began her singing.
Her singing voice is clear and moving, like a natural sound, which makes the audience fall in love with it.
After fierce competition, she finished the competition with an excellent result of second place, and her strength was fully displayed.
This competition gave her a certain fame in the music industry, and she began to be exposed to more musical resources and opportunities.
She grew to love rock music, and this energetic and passionate style of music excites her.
I had the opportunity to work with some rock musicians and sang some excellent rock songs that not only made her famous in the singing world, but also amassed a huge fan base for her.
As she grew older, her pursuit of music became more determined.
When she was eighteen years old, her mother decided to travel with her to the capital, hoping to showcase her talent on a bigger stage.
During her time in the capital, she experienced many challenges and opportunities. With her outstanding strength and unremitting efforts, she was successfully selected for the Asian Games program and stepped onto the stage of the Asian Games.
The people who performed with her were all top singers in China, and this experience greatly enhanced her fame.
Since then, her acting career has flourished. She has participated in activities with many Hong Kong and Macao singers, learned from each other, and continuously improved her music level.
Her talent was favored by record companies, and at the age of 22, she successfully signed with Warners.
With the support of a professional team, her solo album was quickly produced and released to the market.
The album stood out in the era of pop music and became a hit song played on the streets, making her name more recognized.
However, just when her career was in full swing, she suddenly disappeared from public view.

Just when everyone was about to forget her, a news about her jumping off a building suddenly rushed to the front page of the newspaper.
This news shocked the entire entertainment industry and the majority of fans, and everyone wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes.
Reason conjecture
Regarding the reasons for the accident, some netizens have been looking for it for so many years, and there are currently several possible reasons.
The first reason is related to her mother.
Ever since Xie Jin settled in the capital with her mother, her life has been closely linked to that of her mother, as if it were a well-choreographed play.
Her mother, a seemingly ordinary but stern woman, took care of her in her moderation.
Whether it is daily chores or external business, the mother is always the decision-maker, and she is like a bird in bondage, longing for freedom but difficult to break free.
Every time she goes out, every time she gathers with friends, she needs to go through the strict scrutiny of her mother.
Even simple shopping, she can't choose on her own, and always chooses clothes under the guidance of her mother.
And the interaction with the outside world is like walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you will be severely admonished by your mother.
Such a life is undoubtedly a heavy burden for her. Although she is very talented, in such an environment, her talent seems to be also restrained.
After becoming famous, she faced the ensuing business activities, but she could only choose to participate under the screening of her mother.
This kind of life made her gradually lose hope, and finally chose the road from which there is no turning back.
The second reason is related to a performance incident.
After Xie Jin became famous, he was invited to participate in a campus concert.
On the same day, a performance platform was set up on the university campus, but the organizers did not seem to care about the equipment, and the audio equipment was obviously not compliant.
When she arrived, she worked with the sound engineer to tune the equipment, only to find that her voice was muffled and full of noise. She is well aware that such a performance effect will not only affect the audience's experience, but also damage her reputation.
So, she decisively approached the staff and asked them to solve the equipment problem immediately.
However, the staff shirked for various reasons, and even offered to let her lip-sync to cope with the scene.
This offer added fuel to the fire and angered her. She is young and vigorous, and has a very high pursuit of art, how can she tolerate such insults?
Driven by emotion, she lost control, reached out and slapped the person in charge, and abused the entourage.
The move immediately caused an uproar, and the record company was extremely unhappy with her.
They thought that she was just a play, and she dared to be so presumptuous.
As a result, the company severely punished her, hid her in the snow, and no longer publicized and used it.
After receiving such treatment, her mood fell to the bottom. Her talent is not displayed, and as time passes, the anguish and despair in her heart deepens day by day.
In the end, she couldn't bear such pressure and chose to commit suicide.
The third reason is related to her disease.
A musical genius who became famous at a young age, her honor and pressure go hand in hand.
Amid the praise of her peers and audiences, she has become more and more demanding on her creative and singing skills.
Once she failed to meet the standards she had set for herself, she began to deny herself.
At first, she was able to relieve her inner stress through frequent performances.
However, as the show dwindled, she began to doubt her abilities, believing that this was the root cause of the current situation.
This emotion has plagued her for many years, not only causing her to lose sleep all night, but also showing a tendency to lose weight.
As she gradually disappeared from public view, the pressure on her heart became heavier and heavier.
When she felt she couldn't take it anymore, she made a harrowing choice.
That day, she stood alone in front of the window, staring into the distance.
Suddenly, she leaps from a tall building and seeks relief in this way.
epilogue
The above are all speculations from netizens, as for why she chose to commit suicide, perhaps only she knows.
And the speculation and judgment of netizens are just a fog after all, and it is difficult to touch the truth.
Her death is regrettable, and her tragedy is a microcosm of the predicament that many artists have experienced.
Behind the glamorous, they are also under tremendous pressure and pain.
I hope that such a tragedy will not be repeated, so that every artist can get the care and support they deserve.
