The news that famous composer Yao Ming succumbed to a stroke on March 30, 1967 shocked the music world. Particularly millions pf his fans in South East Asia and other part of the world.

Yao Ming dedicated his whole life to music in his short life. During his thirthy years before his sudden death, he had written thousands of songs, many of them which including Second Spring (Ding Dong Song), enjoyed world wide popularity.

Yao Ming never attempted to hide his less fortunate youth. Claiming with virtuous modesty, that contributed to his success.

However, those who knew him, are emphatic that Yao Ming was a man gifted with talent so indispensable to be a composer. Borne in Shanghai in 1917, he settled down in Hong Kong in 1950.
