"Blind" Ābǐng (Chinese: 阿炳; 17 August 1893 – 4 December 1950; full name: 华彦钧, Huà Yànjūn) was a blind Chinese musician specializing in the erhu and pipa.
Abing was born on August 17, 1893 in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi to father Hua Qinghe, who was a Taoist priest. His mother was a widow, and her remarriage to a priest was resented by her family; she remained depressed and died a year after Abing's birth. Abing was raised by extended family until the age of eight, when he went to live with his father at the temple. Abing was the name used by his family. He was given the official name Hua Yanjun at this time and sent to school.
Abing's father was proficient in a number of musical instruments and Taoist religious music. His father trained him in drums from the age of 10. Abing began learning the dizi at age 12, then the erhu, undergoing a rigorous set of training, such as playing the flute with weights attached to the end of the flute to increase the power of his wrist. At age 17, Abing first performed in religious ceremonies, and won acclaim for his musical talent, presentation, and voice.
What the fuck is up with this?
You want to live for nothing with a fucked disease
It doesn't make a difference can you believe
Only one condition that I'm not alone
I will do it what it takes
You want to be alive
It don't take much to be
I know that I will survive
Try taking something from me
You ain't nothing
Keep coming back
You ain't nothing
What's the use in bringing me
Bringing me this far to leave me in the dark
You drag me like I've never seen the dark in my life
I close my eyes I hold my breath I'm at the end
Have you got what it takes?
Life is set to death
From the very moment you breathe
Living lies on a needle
Taking life out on me
You ain't nothing
Keep coming back
You ain't nothing
