On September 16, 2016, Qiao Renliang, who was only 28 years old, left us due to depression, but his smile and warmth, like the pink sky that never fades, will always be engraved in the memories of many people. This year, it is the eighth anniversary of his death, and a story about friendship and longing has once again warmed the Internet.
On this day every year, Qiao Renliang’s good friend Chen Qiaoen always posts a photo of the pink sky on social media. This seems to have become a silent ritual, which is her deepest memory of her lost friend. Pink, a color that was closely associated with Qiao Renliang during his lifetime, seems to have become a bridge connecting the emotions of the two worlds, conveying warmth and reluctance across life and death.
However, things are a little different this year. Just when everyone was looking forward to that familiar photo of a pink sky, news came that Joe Chen was unable to go to the cemetery to pay his respects in person due to preparations for his wedding. This undoubtedly made many fans feel a little regretful, but the video shared by Qiao's parents later made everyone feel another form of warmth and persistence.
In the video shared by Qiao’s dad and Qiao’s mom, we saw the card and flowers carefully prepared by Joe Chen. The card contained a short but affectionate text: “Dear Kimi, I am very sorry that I can’t come to see you this time because I have a wedding. You will definitely wish me well, we are all very good, and we all miss you! I will see you again next year.” Between the lines, it is not only a deep miss for Qiao Renliang, but also an expectation and sharing of a better life in the future. She believed that even if she was far away, the friendship and blessings that spanned life and death could still be conveyed to him.
Qiao Renliang’s elderly parents are also continuing their son’s dreams and memories in their own way. They began to learn to use social media and shoot short videos to share their lives. Although they did not seek profit from the brand, their love and longing for their son was conveyed to everyone who paid attention to them through every detail. On this special day, Qiao's father and mother even recorded a video to express their thoughts and blessings to their son who is far away in another world: "Time passes quietly. You have been gone for 8 years. We are in this world." I miss you and wish you all the best in that world."
Once this video was released, it immediately resonated and moved the majority of netizens. Many fans left messages saying: "The eternal pink color in my heart... I wish you well", "I burst into tears when I saw Jon's message", "Eight years later, I still feel regretful when I think about it". Behind these messages are countless people's reluctance and memory for Qiao Renliang, as well as their feelings and admiration for the deep friendship between Chen Qiaoen and Qiao's parents.
