Not only a popular singer was Yao Beina, but also she was an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She had her corneas (眼角膜) donated to two men who needed them, which helped them see the world clearly again.
Yao was born in a music family on Sept. 26, 1981 in Wuhan. She started to learn the piano at the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9 years old.
She became well-known to the public after making a series of songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan” in 2012, and the mandarin version (中文版本) of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen”. In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China II and finally got the second place in Na Ying’s team. She had won a lot of music awards before she was famous.
She’s gone, even though she had never stopped struggling with cancer. Heaven just got another beautiful angel, with her beautiful voice and kindness.
The real name of “Brother Atang” is Tang Yanjie, who has been a community policeman for a year in Changzhou. He received 11 thank-you banners sent by the public. He is called “banner’s-got-talent after 90” by the police.
He quickly became popular because of three videos. In late December, 2013, a video created by him was his first experience to prevent electric motorcar from being stolen. A few days later, another video appeared on the Internet to protect people from being stolen. On New Year, “Brother Atang” made the third video that lasted a minute for the prevention of telecom network fraud（电信网路诈骗）. All the people nodded for praise.
Internet friends call him “Police Guo Degang” because of his funny words and feelings. His videos have received 23.46 million hits. Sina Micro-Blog also timely releases the topic “Help Xiao Tang enter the Spring Festival gala”.
