In "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", the sister of the resurrection group sang "Rose Youth" by Jolin Tsai . After only listening to it once, I was inexplicably moved. When
learned the story behind it, people couldn't help crying even more. The song behind
is about the short life of a Taiwanese boy Ye Yongzhi who has been bullied by school with a feminine behavior . At the beginning of the song
is the lyrics:
Who and whose soul is put in whose body? Who turned his body into a jail and imprisoned himself. In troubled times, there is always no shortage of whispers, which kind of beauty will exchange jealousy. You are not guilty, guilty is this world. Born innocent, you don't have to be sorry.
Ye Yongzhi has been very gentle and considerate since he was a child. He has cared about his mother since he was a child and said to her: How do you work until late, you go take a shower.
When other boys are still screaming in the streets and alleys, he will cook for his mother and massage his mother. He is a good boy in the eyes of others. When
was in the third grade of elementary school, the teacher told Ye's mother that the children only like to play with girls and do girl things: "I like playing the game of pretending to be a house". The family was worried and brought Ye Yongzhi. Go to the psychologist, the doctor said: "Your child is normal, and the abnormal ones are those who look at him."
But "the troubled times are always the least lack of whispers, which kind of beauty will bring jealousy" , Yongzhi's feminine gender temperament caused him to be ridiculed, beaten, and his trousers removed to check when he was in middle school. His classmates would also force him to do his homework.
Although Mrs. Ye once responded to the school, the situation has not improved. Ye Yongzhi, who was gentle in words and deeds, did not dare to resist more, only to escape. The road from the classroom to the toilet accumulates his short life of fear. According to the investigation, Ye Yongzhi was forced to go to the toilet in four ways: dismissing get out of class a few minutes early, finding a good male student to accompany him, using the female toilet after the class bell, and using the staff toilet.
On the morning of April 20, 2000, when Ye Yongzhi was 15 years old, he was found bleeding all over the toilet. When he was sent to the hospital, the blood from his mouth and nose still couldn't stop. This young man left the world unexpectedly, his life was frozen in the spring of 15 years old. What is even more annoying is that the school wanted to avoid responsibility and not only failed to report to the police in time, but also cleaned up the scene. And all this is defined as an accident of sudden heart attack.
What is an accident? Children without heart disease are said to have had a heart attack. This is an accident!
Ye Yongzhi's mother refused to accept, she insisted on appealing, and survived an unforgettable hard time. After six years, she persevered, and she finally won.
The Taiwan Gender Equality Education Association published "Embrace Rose Youth " to record the Ye Yongzhi incident and explore its gender education implications. The court also sentenced the school’s three directors who ignored the bullying of Ye Yongzhi for “business negligence” Death crime".
and this, of course, is not the ultimate desired result of this matter. Ye Yongzhi’s mother said: “My children are gone, I’m going to save children like him, if I stand up to save these people, I am willing, I am really willing.”
Yes, children like him, Like him, a child whose soul may be misfitted by the wrong body. A child like him who is clearly right, but feels guilty.
And this brave mother once said at a parade in Kaohsiung in 2010: " I am very happy to meet you, children, you must be brave. Heaven and earth create a person like you, there must be a dawn for you to fight for human rights. , Be yourself, don’t be afraid. These words like "
are like speaking to your own son, although her children will never hear them again. Everyone on the scene, noWho wouldn't be moved by this mother, it was her who gave them the courage to face their true self.
When Jolin Tsai knew this story, he created this song "Rose Boy". After Jolin Tsai wrote the first draft of the lyrics, Axin was invited to write the lyrics together.
To commemorate Ye Yongzhi and to tell those children who were bullied at school: "In any case, I may become a minority of some kind, so I must have empathy to love those around me"
hope this A song can give them infinite courage. It is a ray of sunshine that shines into the abyss. At the scene of
's world tour in Taipei, Jolin Tsai once again said affectionately:
Thank you mother Ye, including myself, since childhood Most of us are looking for recognition. We are educated about what is normal, but we are rarely educated to be tolerant. Acceptance, start with accepting yourself. Maybe something special happens around you, but it doesn’t mean you are strange. When you have an object You can talk, it means that you have begun to accept yourself. Maybe you find yourself different. Please be more tolerant. Maybe it's really different, but so what.
Which rose has no thorns
The best revenge is beautiful
The most beautiful blooming is the counterattack
Don't let anyone change you
You can be you or you
There will be someone who loves you
Rose teenager in my heart
