• 1 2020-09-19T01:31:02-07:00 Group TM: Yeh Yung-Chih as the “Ma Vie En Rose” 4 Madeline's Object 2 Pt1 plain 2020-09-21T00:08:43-07:00 A few years ago I first heard of Jolin Tsai's song "WOMXNLY" (玫瑰少年), and with the new release of the song a documentary of Yeh Yung-Chih was played at Jolin's concert, introducing us the background story of the song, and it touched my heartstring right away.
  
  "Mom, my life have just begun; I thrilled and I felt pain all over my body; how I hope that I never came to this world."
  
  Born in 1985, Ye Yung-Chih, a boy from Taiwan died at the age of 15 in 2001 due to bullying at school, simply because he "behaved in girlish ways", and despite the parents' effort to demand justice, the school cleaned out the evidence without consent. 
  
  When we first decided on doing the gender topic, I've been thinking about including the male perspective as well. Our society has developed a lasting trend of stereotyping men as the tough, masculine one, and Yeh was a challenge to the stereotype which then ended up tragically. But we shall not forget the cruelty inflicted upon the young man, and Jolin's song again, after more than a decade, raises awareness towards the issue. I would like to share this particular part of the song:
  
  The lyrics can be roughly translated into:

  "Rose boy (Ma Vie En Rose) is in my heart
  Keep blooming with the vivid legend
  We will never ever forget
  
  You accused in silent
  But a lot of truth has been confessed
  Awakened numerous genuine hearts"
  
  As the song sings, Yeh's accusation against the society's mainstream may be in silence, but his story will continue to inspire millions of us who are willing to continue the fight against stereotyping based on gender.
