Question

Yao Beina was not only a popular singer but also an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She donated her corneas (眼角膜) to two men after her death.

Yao was born in a music family in September 1981 in Wuhan. She started to learn music at the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the 13th Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.

She became well-known to the public after making some songs for the hit TV drama “The Legend of Zhenhuan”（甄嬛传）, and the mandarin version (中文版本) of “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen”（冰雪奇缘）.

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 many music prizes.

Yao Beina was unlucky to be diagnosed（诊断）with breast cancer (乳腺癌). She had a successful operation（手术） in 2011. She has fought against the illness for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. Although she’s gone, her fans will remember her beautiful voice and kindness for ever.
