Please give me the background of the song "Lilac"

The story behind the song "Lilac"

In 2004, an Internet song called Lilac touched China. However, did you know that behind this poignant song, there is an even more poignant story -------

In January 1984, a woman named Zeng Mengjie was born in Wenzhou. Shortly after she was born, her father passed away. After that, the girl fell seriously ill, and her mother had no choice but to send her to her uncle's house in Sichuan. The doctor checked that the girl's illness was serious, including pneumonia complicated by abscesses. Although she was saved after rescue, He died, but part of his right lung was necrotic. From then on, the uncle adopted this poor girl.

One summer day in 1996, the little girl rushed to deliver an umbrella to her brother in the pouring rain. The rain caused the girl's old disease, which was very severe. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, right. All lungs were removed.

The girl could no longer go to school. In order to help her relieve her time, her brother used the money he earned from working during the summer to buy her a computer and told her: "There is a colorful world here. You can go in." Let’s take a look.”

The little girl Meng Jie became a netizen who loved the Internet. Perhaps it was fate that she met a netizen named Luoxue Feihua on the Internet, and they became friends who talked about everything. , this friend was Tang Lei. At that time, Tang Lei had graduated from Shandong Building Materials Industry College and was assigned to work at Shenzhen Water Group. He was using his spare time to engage in music creation and performance, and was already a relatively influential online singer.

Once Mengjie said that he liked the purple lilac flower, which symbolizes love, Tang Lei said: "Why don't you give yourself an online name, just Lilac."

Dingxiang became Tang Lei's expectation. He would go online to read Dingxiang when he had time. However, he never thought that Dingxiang was a terminally ill patient. Her life was actually counting down the clock. She was listening to herself alone. remaining life. Tang Lei didn't know this. He joked with Ding Xiang, laughing and joking, making Ding Xiang laugh happily. In fact, she was holding back her pain. Cold sweat was dripping on her pale face. Her happiness was pretending. When she came out, she passed out in front of the computer many times and coughed up blood on the keyboard many times.

After that, Ding Xiang did not appear online for a long time, and she disappeared inexplicably to a gust of wind.

In January 2004, Mengjie suddenly sent a greeting to Tang Lei online and asked where he was. Tang Lei was in Beijing at the time, recording new songs in a recording studio.

"I want to see you."

Tang Lei felt strange and asked her where she was.

"I'm at Peking University Affiliated Hospital."

Tang Lei later found out that Ding Xiang came to Beijing specifically to see him. Originally, she refused to let her family send her to Beijing for treatment. , when she heard that Tang Lei had gone to Beijing to record songs, she obeyed her family's wishes. In fact, she wanted to see Tang Lei with her own eyes in the last days of her life.

When they met in a ward filled with the smell of lilacs, there was no hug, no intimate greeting, and no shyness when they first met. They shook hands like old friends reunited after a long separation. Ding Xiang's aunt quietly told Tang Lei that Ding Xiang was no longer alive and the doctor had issued a critical illness notice.

In the following days, Tang Lei went to the hospital to visit Ding Xiang whenever he had time. At that time, he was planning his first album, and many plans were unsatisfactory. In particular, the title song of the album had no idea, and he was very busy. Ding Xiang was also worried for him. She asked her family to buy a lot of books from the bookstore to provide some inspiration for Tang Lei. One day, she found a story in a book. After reading it, she was very moved and hurriedly called Tang Lei. .

Mengjie told Tang Lei this story in the book: In ancient times, a young scholar fell in love with the daughter of a shopkeeper on his way to Beijing to take the exam. The two fell in love, but the shopkeeper was extremely angry and scolded him. The daughter ruined the family tradition. The girl cried out that they truly loved each other and begged her father to grant her permission, but the shop owner refused. The girl had a strong temper and died immediately. The shop owner regretted it and buried his daughter on the hillside behind him. Soon, the girl's grave was covered with lush lilac trees, with flowers blooming and fragrance overflowing. The scholar was so surprised that he carried water to water the flowers every day from then on, never stopping, and stayed with the lilacs all his life.

After telling this story, Ding Xiang shed tears: "Aren't you worried about the title song? It is positioned on the poignancy, using flowers to cherish people, and using acoustic guitar accompaniment to express melancholy, dreams, and feelings. ... In fact, simplicity is the best." This sentence suddenly awakened Tang Lei: "The title song of my album is called "Lilac Flower". You."

In the endless darkness, Tang Lei used a lonely light to force himself to calm down. His interaction with Ding Xiang was as clear as a black and white film but also fragmented. He could not imagine that a girl was hearing this. What a state of mind when the clock of life is ticking down. As he thought about it, Tang Lei's tears rolled down again and again. At dawn, he was filled with emotion and wrote a poignant song "Lilac" in one breath: You said you love lilac the most, because your name is It is such a melancholy flower and a sentimental person. When the flower withers and the picture freezes, it is such a delicate flower, but it cannot escape the wind and rain. It floats and sways throughout its life. How many beautiful things turn into dreams. Ah, it came in such a hurry, leaving me worried all my life. . . . . .

Lilac Flower was quickly recorded successfully. Tang Lei put the song on the Internet and it quickly became popular. When this song was sung, it was February 14, 2004. That night, Ding Xiang went into shock many times on the hospital bed. Originally, she had promised to let Tang Lei hold her hand and go to Beijing's Xishan Mountain to see lilac flowers. But he couldn't wait any longer. Late that night, she closed her eyes. . . . . .
