Translation: Auntie Qiong Yao's Message (3/27/01) (from Chiung Yao Site)

Dear Friends,

greetings everyone!

Seeing everyone's agitated emotions on-line truly made Auntie feel hurt inside. I truly want to comfort every one of you, but Auntie's feeling has been a bit low recently. Auntie almost does not have any strength left to comfort you all. What should (we) do?

Recently, I have been very busy and have even more worries.

First, the date that WeiWei is coming to Taiwan has still not been confirmed. (Last time I thought) the date is finally confirmed, but due to sudden changes, the date changed from the 28th to the 30th. Thus, all the planned schedule is disrupted completely. (The Fans of WeiWei please pay close attention. QingQing will continue to post her schedules)

Then, it is the things related to the actors/actresses' publicity. I think you remember Auntie promised before that all actors/actresses will participate, yet right now YouPen and XinRu seem to only can attend 2 days of publicity ( please do not blame them). In reality, actors/actresses' participation in the publicizing activity is their job, not a thing of their choise. In accordance to reason, they should use all their efforts to cooperate with us. Couple nights before, I received YouPeng's phone call. He told me with excitment: "Auntie, my show finished filming earlier. I will be returning to Taipei on the 27th. I will be able to participate in [Love & Rain]'s publicizing activities!" I asked him: " I heard that you are going to be filming an advertisement, thus can only participate one or two days of the activities, right?" He said: " I moved my advertisement backward. I hope to participate in the entire activity!" Yet, yesterady, his managing company told us that he "only" has twos days and that "in concern with his previous agreement about him being able to participate through the entire activity is a mistake, something Auntie heard it wrong!" Thus, in regards to whether YouPeng can participate with the activity, I am completely unclear about it and can not make any promise. As of the friends from HongKong, please do not hold too much hope, because I believe that YouPen can not say much about his schedules.

As of XinRu, her available time also faces a variety of difficulties. Not only does she have her album, but also advertisement to film. When People become famous, they are no longer able to control what's happening. The actors/actresses will pick what they want to do and do it, Auntie has never and will never force them into a difficult position. However, I extremly miss the ZiWei(XinRu) that followed everyone around to all places in Taiwan when Zhao Wei came to Taiwan last time,

Thus, when Zhao Wei comes to Taiwan on the 30th. besides Leo Kuo, no actor/actress will be going to the southern portion of Taiwan with her. When I thought about this, I am truly sad, for Zhao Wei came over from a thousand Li(chinese measurment, kind of equal to meter) away, and encounters all these difficulties in order to come, our Taiwanese actors/actresses don't even have available time to cooperate. At least, soon after, you will able to see them in [Love & rain], a perforance that lasts the whole way. (Please treasure this chance, because chances like this will be rare after, rare!)

In regards to the [Love & Rain] Album, Auntie saw the newspaper today and jumped from surprise. This thing is extremly unfair to Zhao Wei. During the filming time of [Love & Rain], I have already wrote the verses of the song and asked many music teachers to compose the lyrics, and then pick out the song that you have today. From the beginning, we have decided that Zhao Wei was going to sing the songs. There is no other reason, but because she is the only singer of KeRen Music Company. Later, Leo Kuo was very enthusiastic, and actively tried to sing the ending song. His music company also agreed to cooperate. (The ending song is the song that was sang by YiPing at the Ball Room of ShangHai. We picked 2 songs to let Leo Kuo to sing again) Because in [Love & Rain], Yi Ping and Chu Shen is the pair that loved with the most firing passion, their song, sang by those two, will have a warm and passionate feeling. At the same time, Auntie also wanted to let XinRu sing one song and YouPeng sing another. It does not matter if the ending song hasa few more songs. However, XinRu's music company unexpectly gave me [Cloud & Rain] (**please see Berry's explination at the bottom) to be the ending song of [Love & Rain]. I felt that this is not wise, because we already have a [Love & Rain] to be our theme song, now if we put in a [Cloud & Rain], wouldn't the audience be [Dizzy & Fuzzy]? I offered to write a song for RuPing to let her sing, but it was rejected by XinRu's music company. Auntie also have my own self-esteem and pride. THus, with this whole thing, even YouPeng did not get a chance. Because it is not like [Love & Rain] does not have people to sing for it, why should I face other people's nails (scorn manners)? Thus, Auntie has expressed at that time that this [Cloud & Rain] is a bit confusing to listen and that XinRu, in order to prevent gossip, should not record this.

When XinRu's album came out, I suddenly discover that this song is still in there and that Xin Ru is even strongly using this song as the main song. Auntie, besides sighing, can only feel fustrated. For XinRu, Auntie even though feel deeply hurt, but still do not have the heart to criticize her. Not only do I not have the hurt to cricize her, but I wish her prosperity and hope that her album is successful. As of all the sound of cirticize on-line, Auntie can only handle them with silence.

In all, XinRu's song [ Cloud & Rain] and [Love & Rain] has absolutely no connection and will not appear in the show. This is same for her song [Going into (someone's) arms and Giving Hugs]. I hope that her music company will not create these untrue rumours. (It is possible that they are purposely creating these type of twin news to create more appearances on newspaper). This way, not only is this not fair to ZHao Wei, but also hurts Xin Ru. Isn't this right? Not to mention, ZHao Wei is coming soon, do these two sisters have to have burdens in their heart because of this album?

Okay, Auntie is tired of typing. (The day before yesterday, my thumb hurt so much that I could not hold chopsticks. I went to see doctor and they said it is syndrom called "BenJi Finger". They gave me a shot for pain and told me to type less words and use less "slipping Mouse"(berry's note: I don't know if she mean the mouse on the computer) You all, please look at the fact that Auntie is typing with pain and put down your unhappiness. Please smile for Auntie! Auntie needs all of your smiles and all your support! Also, I hope that you all have a forgiveful heart to love everyone! ( Auntie is also like this. Even though I have wound in my heart, but because i have never loved anyone less, I do not worry this, worry that.)

Also, Auntie has a good news totell you all. AUntie has alrady picked a good topic and plans to begin to write 2 shows. One is [World in Heaven] and [The Tale of Wu A Ge] (this can not be [Huan ZHu Ge Ge III], because there will only be Wu A Ge and his wife in the show and no ZiWei and ErKong, because ZiWei and ErKong are too happy, so happy that they lack vocies. Let's allow them to retire with honor!). ANother is a 1930s [Beijing Love Story]. This show will have 3 main actors and 2 main actresses. When [Love & Rain] finished broadcasting, you give me suggestions to who is more appropriate for these characters? (THis story, I originally thought its name should be [Snow & Fire]. It describes the stroy of 2 girls, one is cold as snow, and another hot as fire and their complex love with 3 boys. I really like this story. I really want Zhou Jie(Berry's note: Er Kong's actor in Huan ZHu Ge Ge), Leo Kuo.... to be the actor. As of main actresses? I need to seriously decide.) In all, these are talks later. We can talk about it later.

I wish everyone Happiness!

Qiong Yao March 27, 2001 early morning

***Berry's note: Couple days ago, there is a news, released by XinRu's music company, that says the original theme song is given to XinRu and that XinRu was nice enough to allow Zhao Wei to sing the song. As of the confusion mentioned by Qiong Yao about the title of the songs--the correc, word by word, translation of [Love & Rain] is [Deep Love and Drizzly Rain] and the translation of XinRu's new song is [Deep Cloud and Drizzly Rain]. As you can see, there is only one word of change. According to the news, the album with this song is released very recently.
