Yang Yuying's singing voice is like a cup of sweet tea in the nineties, and her mouth is full of the taste of youth when she drinks it. At that time, as soon as she opened her mouth, half the street could hum two sentences of "Tell You Gently". The name of the Queen of Sweet Songs is not called in vain. But who would have thought that this diva, who once stood in the spotlight, now picked up a hoe and planted peppers and lettuce in the top-floor vegetable garden in Shenzhen. Her "second life" is like a plate of home-cooked food just out of the pot, simple but delicious, and people can't help but want to taste it.
回想當年，楊鈺瑩的專輯一出，磁帶攤前排隊的場景比過年買糖果還熱鬧。1990年，她的第一張專輯《為愛祝福》賣了20多萬張，這在當時可是個天文數位。她的嗓音清亮，像山間的溪水，流到哪兒都能讓人心裡一軟。粉絲們擠破頭去聽她的演唱會，歌詞本翻得邊角都捲了。可就在事業如日中天的時候，她卻選擇放下麥克風，談了一場戀愛。那是2000年，物件是個叫賴文峰的富商。本以為是王子與公主的故事，誰料劇情急轉直下。賴家捲入了一樁經濟案，楊鈺瑩的名字被推上風口浪尖。那些年，網路還沒如今這麼發達，可流言蜚語已經夠她喝一壺了。
In those days, she was like a little flower soaked in a storm, standing alone on the side of the road. Public opinion is like a knife, cutting people's hearts. In 2002, she simply quit the entertainment industry and disappeared. Some say she was defeated, others guess she will never come back. But life is like the tree in the yard of my hometown, wind and rain, and it can always draw new shoots. Yang Yuying didn't say anything, nor did she defend herself, but quietly found a new way for herself.
Time flickered, and it was 2015 years. She came back with a show called "The Idol is Coming". In front of the camera, she still has that sweet smile, but there is an extra layer of calmness in her eyes, like the sea after a thousand sails, calm but powerful. The audience sighed: Is this still the little girl of the year? She hasn't gotten older, but she has a little more confidence in life. In the show, she chatted about her daily life, and her tone was as relaxed as if she was chatting with her neighbors. No one expected that this was just the opening remarks of her "second life".
Today, 53-year-old Yang Yuying has built a vegetable garden on the top floor of a mansion in Shenzhen. When the news came out, netizens were happy: This style of painting has changed too fast, right? From the spotlight to the mud, this crossover is sharper than flipping through a book. The eggplants she planted were purple and shiny, the peppers were red like festival lanterns, and the lettuce was huddled together like a meeting. She also loves to shoot videos, wearing a simple T-shirt, her hair is tied in a ponytail, she is holding a water bottle in her hand, and she smiles like a child. She said that you have to be patient when planting vegetables, you can't water too much or too little, and you have to fertilize the sky. Listening to her talk about this, you will feel that she is not planting vegetables, but talking about a slow love with life.
Once she dried a plate of her own fried vegetables, green pepper shredded potatoes, bright color, it made people drool when they looked at it. She said that it was the harvest of her own vegetable garden, and the taste of sunshine was all in one bite. She also likes to cook with her mother, mother and daughter around the table, eating and chatting, laughter can float far away. Such a day, at first glance, looks ordinary, but there is a kind of reassuring warmth. Who wouldn't want to have such an afternoon, slow down, try the vegetables they grow, and listen to their mother tell some old things?
She didn't patronize growing vegetables. In her spare time, she plays a few piano tunes, the notes jumping at her fingertips, as if saying hello to the old days. Sometimes, she makes a pot of tea and sits on the balcony watching the clouds roll up. That kind of calmness is not pretended, it is boiled out little by little. She wrote on social media: Life is like growing vegetables, you have to serve it with your heart, and it will give you a good harvest. Fans nodded and sighed that this sister is living so transparently.
Speaking of Yang Yuying's transformation, it always reminds people of the old saying: Life gives you a slap, and you have to learn to smile and return it a flower. She was not crushed by the turmoil of the year, nor did she let herself be trapped in the glory of the past. On the contrary, she lives her life like a painting, with simple colors, but the more she looks at it, the more flavorful it becomes. Do you think she's a skill? After all, not everyone can go from the stage that is sought after by thousands of people to the fragrant vegetable garden and still enjoy it.
Her vegetable garden is not just a place to grow vegetables, but also a small world in her heart. When the eggplant grows taller, she will be happy as if she had won the lottery. The pepper bears fruit, and she has to take a picture and send it to her friends to show off. Once the tomatoes she planted didn't work, they wilted and drooped, and she was not discouraged, and said with a smile: It's okay, fight again next year. This momentum makes people feel that she is not only competing with vegetables, but also competing with life. What she planted was not only vegetables, but also a love for life.
Yang Yuying's story is like a bowl of home-cooked soup, which warms the stomach and heart when you drink it. She didn't chase any big hits, and she didn't have to prove how good she was. She just lives down-to-earth and loves seriously. With such a she, people can't help but ask: Do you also want to find a piece of land and plant something, even if it's just a pot of basil, so that the days can be a little greener?
She is still continuing her life as a "farmer". The latest news is that she has just added a few strawberry seedlings to her garden. She said she wanted to taste the strawberries she grown. Fans are already lining up in the comment section to see the results. Someone joked: Sister, if your strawberry is on the market, it is estimated that it will be empty. She replied: Grow and play, just have enough to eat. This sounds casual, but it makes people feel comfortable. Isn't life just about having enough to eat and have fun?
Yang Yuying's "second life" is still slowly unfolding. She wasn't in a hurry to tell everyone what to do next, and there was no need. She is like the vegetables she grows, growing slowly and opening quietly, and will always surprise you. You say, what will she plant next time? Or, will she record a new song on a whim one day? Who knows? The days are still long, and her story, Zhun Bao still has the next episode.
