☼ WWW.SOLAIRETHEDREAM.COM/ Liang Yixing °
The beach at sunset represents the "dream of freedom" that Yixing seem finally have obtained , after escaping from the rundown building which was full of painful memories ( the old chair , the carillon, etc...) .
Unfortunately, this freedom doesn't made him happy beacuse he feels alone and still remember his previous life in the building which, even if painful, was full of the memories he made whit the people he loved but then left him alone.
To overcome this situation he costantly ask to an unspeciefed person (the viewer of the MV or the next member of SOLAIRE which will be in the subunit with him) to "fly with him" (leaving behind the painful memories) and to enjoy the newfound freedom with him.
This MV could have also another meaning because the animal associated to Yixing is the barn swallow , a bird who usually migrates in group when fall is coming .
The MV seems placed at sunset and sunset might represent the end not only of the day but also of the hot season (so , it may represent that fall is coming) and Yixing can't or isn't brave enough to fly away alone . He needs someone to fly with.
The song "Fly with me" , whose lyric was written by Yixing himself, perfectly express both the feeling of freedom and loneliness, thanks to alternation of warm colors and cold colors.
Made to look like a home movie, glitching and all, Yixing delivers the song's rap over the mellow beats as he hangs out on the beach and in a rundown building. A variety of filters overlay the video's natural coloring, adding an ambient note that matches the onyric atmosphere.

Yixing has always been a nice kid with a very outgoing personality.
In fact, since he was a toddler , Yixing has been very cheerful and friendly . He has always liked to meet new people and make friends.
Moreover, unlike his older sister who used to be more quiet , he has always been a sort of "sunshine" who is almost always happy but also a kid who has never liked standing still and so is always up to something.
Yixing , indeed , is a lively boy who doesn't like to sit around doing nothing . He has always liked to learn new things , especially about his passions ( such as dancing, rapping, music and inventing stories) and to share them with the others (sometimes even when they don't like them. XD) . In fact , he is very talakative , especially when the main topic of the converstation is something that she likes . Anyway, also when you are talking about something he doesn't know he will suddenly start to bombard you with many questions. XD
He has also always been very curious, creative and endowed with a lot of fantasy . He is basically a daydreamer and likes everything that allows him to "fly with his imagination" (as he says) . In fact, he has always watched a lot of fantasy and sci-fi TV dramas, animes, cartoons and movies . He also loves reading books and novels (she likes especially the stories about magic and fantasy worlds) and inventing , first only in his mind then also in written form , short stories and fairytails. He also started to write lyrics at the tender age of 11 years old.
Yixing biggest hobbies when he was a child , anyway , was surfing the net , making videos (mostly AMV and FMV) with movie maker and posting them on youtube, chatting with people from all the world and learning new things about his favourite movies , books and tv shows (so, basically, his favourite "fandoms") thanks to internet communities .
It is probably due to the fact that he has always chatted with people from all over the world , Yixing is also very openminded and tolerant towards everyone ( especially about the LGTB community and the ethnic and religious minorities) . He thinks that every peson is precious, that everyone must be respected and that all the people are basically the same regardless , age, ethnicity,religion, family, ual preference and other things . For his way of thinking, anyway, Yixing has always had some issues in comforming to the strict rules of both China and South Korea .
Despite being a bit rebellious, Yixing is actually very caring and kind-hearted . He doesn't likes seeing people suffer , so , he always try to bring positivity and happiness to other people . Moreover, even when he is feeling down or sad , he always try to be positive and to motivate others not to be negative and to smile more (unfortunately, he rarely succeds in doing it , especially with some other members of SOLAR who always thinks that he is teasing them ) .
A part from being a bit rebellious , he might seems a nice kid , right? Unfortunately , Yixing is not only rebellious but is also very reckless and stubborn .When he set his mind about something is almost impossible to change it . Moreover, he always wants to have the last word when he thinks he's right (even if he's wrong)
The fact that he, thanks to his parents, grew up with lots of freedom and his outgoing character makes him more indipendent and impulsive . Moreover, the fact he doesn't likes lying and he always try to give her honest opinion about everything makes him sounds outspoken , sometimes . Fortunately , when he realizes that his words or his behaviour might have offended or hurted someone he immediately apologizes and promise to not do it anymore.
Yixin is quite a responsible boy but, due to his young age, is also naive, unselfish and tends to trust everyone . Both this and his recklessness may put him (and, usually, also his hyungs) in troubles . Sometimes , anyway , he is the ones that help other people to get out of the troubles . Like what happens to many kids and teenagers , his recklessness could turn into wisdom and his advices could be very useful for some of the other trainees at blockberry creative .
Anyway, he doesn't likes giving advices to other people, especially to the younger ones, since she is a bit insecure about his skills (even if he doesn't like tho show other people this side of imself) .
Liang Yixing was born on December 18th 2000 in Qingdao , the largest City in eastern Shandong Province on the east coast of China, as the second and last child of a Chinese father and a Korean mother.
In fact, Yixing's father , Liang Rong , was born and raised in Quingdao , while his mother, Nam YooJung was born and raised in Seoul , South Korea, but moved in Quingdao when she was 19 years old , to attend the same University
Despite pursuing different degrees (in fact now his father is a computer techician while his mother his a music teacher in an High school of Quingdao ) Rong and Yoojung, , who were the same age (both were born in 1970), were able to met during their first year of College and to get married after 6 years and , then, to give birth to two children : Jingjie (born in 1998) and Yixing ( born in 2000) .
Compared to her sister, who js quite calm and a bit shy , Yixing has always been a very lively, happy and outgoing child . When he was a toddler she always smiled and talked to everyone , even much older people who usually were annoyed by this talkative kid they didn't know.
Yixing was also hyperactive when he was a kid . When he was in kindergarten was always up to something and usually made more trouble than all his classmates put together . Since he was a little kid he has been always interested in many things , like daydreaming, inventing tales , discover new things, drawing, singing , dancing , pretending to be a rockstar, pretending to be a superhero (or a supervillain , when his poor sister was mean to him . XD), riding the bike (first with wheels and then, at 6 years old, without anything xD) , playing many games , even if he wasn't very good in everything ( he likes drawing but , as he also knows, he draws very badly ) . He also started to read and write at an early age (he was 5 years old) thanks to his mother .
Among all these things , he has always had an interested in TV . He wathced not only lots of anime and cartoons but also movies, drama and especially music shows or similar kind of shows in which people used to dance and sing together . He has been always fashinated by those kind of shows where both the audience and especially the performers seems to having a lot of fun .
When he was 6 years old , her mother , slightly desperate because his youngest son had always too much energy and ends up to breaking precious things while playing games with his older sister and his friend , she enrolled him to a dance school ,already attended by both his sister and an older male cousin of him, in order to make him more disciplined and calm . Unfortunately , dancing managed to calm Yixing only a bit , but let him knows new things (for example that there are not only one but several dance styles) and made him even more interested in the world of entertainment , since his dance teacher always made her students see the videos famous dancers' performance in order to learn them for the dance recitals the schoold made twice (at Christmas and between June and July) .
Then, some time later, he enrolled in a primary school in which , among the subjects , there was also music and children could start to learn how to play an instrument since the third grade ( he chose piano but , then , when he was 9 years old, he also started to study guitar at home ). All the students also learned how to read the musical notes and to sing .
Thanks to his studies Yixing developed a strong love for music and started to being interested also in listening to different music genres .He used to listen lots of music , especially on youtube . His favourite type of music were rock but he was also interested pop and hip hop .
When he was almost 10 years old , in 2010, he also decided to start a youtube channel with the help of his sister. At first he started it only because many of his classmates had already their youtube accounts in which they talked a bit about his hobbies and showed what they learned during music class at school but , then , he started to do cover of famous songs with not only piano but also guitar and other instruments , which he learned alone thanks to internet videos and online lessons . Sometimes he also sang . At first he was a bit tone deaf but then , also thanks to the advice he received by the viewers of their videos , they managed to improve little by little. Later, between 2011 and 2012, he started to make amv and fmv (basically fan-made music video consisting of clips from one or more shows or movies set to an audio track, often songs or promotional trailer audio) . In 2013 , he also started to showcasing his rap (even if at the beginning wasn't very good and not so fast as it is now ) and doing cover of kpop song , which leater helped him, in 2015, to be casted by Polaris Entertainment and , then, in 2016, to join Polaris sub-label , Blockberry creative in order to become a member of their first boygroup , SOLAIRE.
Unfortunately ,his youtube channel ,who has never been very famous even if he has always had many followers compared to his (former) classmates channels , is now deactivated but many people reposted some of his video , especially his rap covers and his anime openings' cover (one of them , the cover of "Paper Moon" , the second opening of the anime of Soul Eater, also become the opening of the fanmade "anime version "of spongebob squarepants in early 2015 , right before he was casted by Polaris Etertainment.
In fact , in early 2015 someone from Polaris Entertainment noticed Yixing's youtube channel and , impressed by his talent in both singing and rapping , sent him an invitation to join the Polaris Entertainment's open audition that would have been held the following month in Seoul, South Korea.
After having persuaded his parents to sent him to Korea for the audition (this hadn't been difficult since both his parents has always been supporting towards both him and his sister) , Yixing managed to pass the audition and become a trainees at Polaris Entertainment.
A year later, in 2016 , Polaris Entertainment established a sub-label , named Blockberry Creative , and Yixing, together with some other young trainees , was transferred there . Some years later, he was chosen to be a member of SOLAIRE, the first boygroup produced by Blockberry Creative.

[+556, -99] Why crazy saesang fans always do things like this and put the blam on all the fandom? I'am an EXO-L too and I feel ashamed for them. ㅠㅠ
[+330, -87] Why doing this if there are lots of idols who has the same name (for example , there are many "Minhyuk") and nobody cares? Moreover, they also promotes under a different name .
[+557, -92] First the fact he likes Gotham , which is my favourite tv drama, then this! I think I've found my SOLAIRE bias . YIXING MARRY ME!!! ㅠㅠ
[+412, -92] Not my favourite member of SOLAIRE (sorry I don't like his personality) but a quite talented boy . Blockberry is the best at choosing people! <3
[+412, -92] STOP THIS F***ING nonsense! I was at that fanmeeting and those fans , included that "poor thing" who posted that hypocritical message on twitter (and who was a famous saesang fans of SEVENTEEN), were the ones who were rude towards both the boys and us other fans . They heavily pushed a friend of mine in order to pass to see the boys better, without apologize . They called one of the member "dirty rubbish" and , after Yixing scolded them , one of them tell him he was a "psychopath" . Moreover, after the security driven her away , she yelled that all of us ( other fans) were "losers who stan other losers" . People like this doesn't deserves apologize !
