Recently, there was bad news in the entertainment industry, the 38-year-old singer Wang Yunyi passed away due to illness, and his team also officially responded.
Because she appeared in "The Voice of China Season 1" in 2012, she was also noticed by the audience with her bald image and magnetic voice, and was once famous by the four mentors at the time.
It's just that no one thought that 12 years later, she rushed to the hot search again, but the news was so regrettable.
In fact, Wang Yunyi is not the first "Voice student" to pass away, before this, Yao Beina, Zhang Hengyuan and others all died of illness, which shocked the audience every time.
In addition to the regrettable loss of their young lives, the situation of still working hard for their careers on the eve of their death is also really distressing.
1. Wang Yunyi
Wang Yunyi, whose real name is Wang Hui, was born in 1986 in an ordinary family in Taiyuan, Shanxi.
However, when he was 7 years old, his mother suddenly committed suicide, and three years later, his father and grandfather also passed away......
A series of blows made Wang Yunyi's world collapse in an instant.
The grandmother, who is dependent on each other, does not want to see her, and always feels that "the tragedy of the family is brought by her little".
Although her parents left behind enough property to provide for material security, her broken childhood left her mentally stressed.
In order to escape the suffocating living environment, Wang Yunyi left home at the age of 15 and took a guitar left by his father.
Because of her musical talent, she has been a singer in bars since she arrived in Shenzhen, and she is always good at singing in jazz style, and later went to Chengdu, Shanghai, Taiyuan and other places.
For making music, Wang Yunyi is very obsessed:
"In that state, I was like a god, I could build a whole universe with musical notes, with everything I could use, very, very high."
参加《好声音》前，她曾在2011年出过一张音乐专辑《how long has this been going on》。
The following year, Wang Yunyi appeared on the stage with a bald head, which attracted a wide range of attention.
The bald head has also become his most impactful symbol for a time.
When it comes to choosing to use this shape, Wang Yunyi is straightforward and direct:
"I don't think having hair makes you look good, and I still want to prove something that seems ridiculous right now — that people basically don't want to believe that women can be worth by their abilities. And I especially like to compete with this thing, does a woman have to rely on beauty to gain something? ”
In addition to carrying what she thinks is a "mission", Wang Yunyi's stage presentation is also quite exciting, and she turned around at the same time with a song "Forgotten Time" in the blind audition, and then she joined the Yu Chengqing team.
After that, she started the road of "The Voice" to overcome obstacles, and went all the way to the "peak night", and finally won the runner-up of Yu Chengqing's team.
After becoming famous, with the rise of popularity, Wang Yunyi launched a solo album, and there are more and more acting jobs.
But what is less known is that since 2014, her depression has become more severe, and she has committed suicide more frequently during the most difficult times.
Although he was rescued every time, his body was also severely depleted.
When she walked the red carpet on a show once, Wang Yunyi was shocked to find a scar on her thigh, but she didn't care, but bravely expressed herself in a short skirt.
On the other hand, she is still very addicted to the music she likes, and she is willing to continue to challenge other fields, such as doing jazz science videos.
In 2016, he also appeared in "Wonderful Story", and complained about the current situation of Chinese music copyright in the program.
Wang Yunyi said: "There are very few musicians I know who can really live very freely, because they still look forward to applause, but if one day they can stop clinging to these things, I think music will have more possibilities." ”
It seems that because of this, in recent years, she has rarely appeared in front of the audience, and the last public event was in 2019.
This does not mean that Wang Yunyi has given up being a singer, at the beginning of this month, she suddenly announced that she would return to the music scene.
However, his physical condition has worried fans, because the last appearance was last month, and although he is still bald in the video, he looks swollen and his eyes are blank.
But he was still worried about his work, and bluntly said, "I'm going to find an assistant!" ”
What no one expected was that she was suddenly revealed by her friend Chen Sisi in the circle that she had passed away.
It is rumored that Wang Yunyi's death was caused by diabetes complicated by pancreatic disease, and it is reported that she began to feel uncomfortable before this, but she thought that it was fatigue caused by insufficient rest, and therefore refused the invitation of friends.
2. Yao Beina
In the second year when Wang Yunyi participated in "The Voice", Yao Beina, who is already a famous singer, also appeared on this much-anticipated stage.
She was born in 1981 into a musical family, her father Yao Feng is an associate professor at the Wuhan Conservatory of Music, and has composed music works such as "See Xibaipo Again" and "I Love China".
Yao's mother is a song and dance actress who has sung the classic songs "Lark, Don't Cry" and "I Have a Song of Praise in My Heart".
Growing up in such an environment, Yao Beina is very talented in music, and she came into contact with the piano at the age of 4 and played on stage for the first time at the age of 9.
In 1997, at the age of 16, she was admitted to the High School Affiliated to Wuhan Conservatory of Music, where she studied under Feng Jiahui and her father Yao Feng, and continued to learn more music knowledge.
Five years later, she participated in the recording of CCTV's "New Audiovisual" program, and since then, she has participated in various music performances and large-scale theatrical performances.
During this period, Yao Beina graduated from university and was immediately assigned to the Song and Dance Troupe of the Political Department of the Navy and served as a soloist.
It was also this year that she officially entered the showbiz and co-starred with actor Zhang Bo in the musical "Golden Sands".
Before participating in "The Voice" and gaining widespread attention, Yao Beina had already won the title of runner-up in the popular singing group of the Youth Song Competition, and had also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala several times.
Especially the ending song "Hongyan Tribulation" and the episode "Bodhisattva Man" in the hit drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", etc., are all sung by her.
However, in the same year that the show was on the air, Yao Beina suddenly found that she had a dimple-like depression in her left chest, and then went to the doctor and was diagnosed with breast cancer.
For the sake of health, at the age of 30, she underwent surgery to remove her breast and began to recover, and was told by the doctor that she had returned to a normal state.
After that, Yao Beina continued to release her own singles, and her acting career gradually reached a climax.
Especially in 2013, she joined "The Voice" and won the turn of four mentors at the same time with a song "Maybe Tomorrow".
Her game was also exceptionally smooth, and she went all the way to the end in the Naying team, but was "eliminated" by the opponent when she hit the championship, which led to constant controversy.
After that, Yao Beina won the support of many fans, and then accepted the invitation of CCTV, and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala again in 2014, and sang "Tianyao China" in the finale during the zero o'clock countdown.
There was no doubt that her career was at its peak, but she was diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer at the end of the same year, and her condition deteriorated dramatically.
This time, Yao Beina rejected the offer of chemotherapy and signed a voluntary form for organ donation in January 2015.
Eight days later, she closed her beautiful eyes and died at the age of 33.
In accordance with her last wishes, Yao Beina donated her corneas to those in need.
This decision is tearful, and fans are always nostalgic for this talented girl who left early.
3. Zhang Hengyuan
And Zhang Hengyuan, who competed on the same stage with Yao Beina and finally won the national runner-up, also passed away due to cancer in June last year.
Compared with the former, his fame is even more difficult:
Zhang Hengyuan was born in 1986 in a poor family in Guizhou, his father was a mathematics teacher, and his mother worked as a farmer.
His parents' original hope for him was to study hard, but he had a soft spot for music, and even missed a grade because he didn't study well.
Later, Zhang Hengyuan was admitted to a professional music school to learn bel canto, and later fell in love with rock and roll.
All this was not understood by the parents, and they even felt that their son had "disgraced him" at one point.
At the age of 18, Zhang Hengyuan took 400 yuan to Shenzhen alone and began to do chores in the local bar, and Chen Chusheng, who came out of "Fast Man", was also a singer here.
Half a year later, he was photographed by the music director of the bar, and then formed a band and sang in the bar.
Zhang Hengyuan also participated in the selection of "Fast Man" under the persuasion of his girlfriend at the time, but he did not get a good ranking.
He later summed it up like this:
"I still haven't been able to calm down and sing, and I can't sing well for other purposes."
It wasn't until a few years later that Zhang Hengyuan was found by the director team of "The Voice".
In the competition, he sang rock songs such as "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Youth" and "Blue Lotus", which were sought after by the audience, and finally reached the national runner-up.
What's even more rare is that he became attached to the female student Bi Xia because of this.
At that time, the woman's popularity was even higher than him, and she also transformed into an actress and filmed the movie "The Year in a Hurry".
Zhang Hengyuan successfully signed a contract with the agency after the competition, and since then, his acting career has developed steadily, although he is not a popular singer, but there are many job invitations every year.
In 2022, Zhang Hengyuan and Bi Xia tied the knot, and in the same year, they were successfully upgraded to become parents, and their lives came to another stage.
It's just that no one thought that just one year, the man died of melanoma.
According to his relatives and friends, Zhang Hengyuan learned about his illness at an early age, but he never thought it was a serious problem.
In May last year, the condition took a turn for the worse and suddenly turned into laryngeal cancer, and the disease progressed rapidly.
At the beginning of the same month, he and his wife Bi Xia were also taken by his mentor Wang Feng to participate in a commercial event, but in the promotional video, it can be seen that they are in a state of malaise.
It is reported that before this, Zhang Hengyuan had been insisting on performing and constantly appeared in various offline activities.
After the illness, it all had to stop.
He paid a huge amount of medical expenses for treatment, which led to the hollowing out of his family's funds, and relatives and friends also raised funds for him, but he still could not save this young life.
In the end, Zhang Hengyuan's age stayed at 36 years old forever.
4. Gu Jiaqi
In addition, Gu Jiaqi, who participated in "The Voice Season 4" in 2015, also passed away due to an accident - and he was also the youngest of many deceased students.
Born in Taiwan in 1992, Gu Jiaqi has a high talent in music since he was a child, and when he grew up, he joined the local guitar club, and is good at lyrics and arrangement, and is well-known in the local area.
In 2015, at the age of 23, he joined "The Voice", but finally stopped in the top 25 in Taiwan Province.
In the early morning of May 19 last year, Gu Jiaqi drove a sedan on the road, and because of the rain, the road skidd, and then he was rear-ended by a large truck, resulting in the death of him and the female passenger sitting in the passenger seat.
A few days later, his friend posted an obituary, and the farewell poster still read: "A big boy who loves to sing."
In addition, the host Li Yong, the mentor Coco Li, and the guest Zhao Yingjun, who participated in the recording of "The Voice", also passed away due to various diseases, leaving fans with endless pain.
Moreover, the above people all worked hard for their work before they passed away, and now it is embarrassing to look at it.
There is only a sigh: life is impermanent, no one knows when tomorrow and accidents will come, and I just want to cherish the present.
