this is the meaning of the mv (got it from a fb comment) This is a true story of a Mother’s Sacrifice during the China Earthquake. After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head. With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure. He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “ The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up. The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s love for her child!!

2024 I'm still here Her voice is da best OMGGGGGG

The storyline is based on a true story of a selfless mother who protected her child throughout the 7.9 magnitude earthquake. When the mother was discovered by the rescuers, she had already died from the house that collapsed. However, the rescuer noticed her unusual posture, kneeling on the ground with both of her arms supporting her upper body. When people cleared away the rubble around her, they found her 3 to 4-month-old baby, wrapped in a blanket, sleeping soundly under her, still alive. After that, the rescuing doctor found a mobile phone inside the baby’s blanket and on the screen was a message that said: "My beloved baby, if you can survive, please remember that I love you." I first saw it on 9gag then after I watched this mv I recognize the storyline So I search it on wikipedia . And it was true . So for those who confused , here you go . ;)

Seriously, how can ppl be confused about the story? His mother died in an earthquake when he was a child, one day he accidentally meets a girl who looks like his mother so he started hanging around her a lot. Then the girl finds out that it's not *that* kind of love and it's actually just tao missed his mother. So she leaves in the end, but Tao's still happy that he met her because it was like he saw his mum again even for a short time.

I swear SM uses tao's martial arts skills whenever they can

How is she not more popular? I mean Liyin has an absolutely beautiful voice!! It kind of upsets me that she's not recognized more, and she's under SM!! Which is a huge entertainment company, and she definitely deserves more attention! Can't believe I'm just noticing her now...:'( Anyway, Tao absolutely killed it with his acting skills, and Victoria is just

For those who are wondering what message is written on the phone: "I'm sorry, I can't be by your side anymore...thank you, I love you...also, you have to tell our son, tell him that...mommy really...really loves him.

Tao is such a good actot, wanna see him in a drama or a movie, i love him♥

I really don't understand why people dislikes this :'( It's such a beautiful and inspirit story of a mom sacrificing herself to her son... why hate it?...

SM really thought this one through. Amazingly beautiful song with amazingly beautiful actors. A heart wrenching storyline, sexy ask mofo Tao and beautifully pretty Victoria as leads, who both are amazing at acting.

1:00 RIP Song Jaerim... 🙏 This song is so beautiful! The singer, the MV story, the actors & actress... ♡ ╥﹏╥ ♡ Mother's love ♡

zhang li yin's voice is too beautiful too be described in words.

I'm starting to love Tao because of thos MV♡

The song is so beautiful and the story line is so sad. Especially at the end where you see Victoria shedding tears as she writes her last message, I broke down during that part.

이 급으로 남아있을 노래가 아닌데ㅠㅠㅠ,,,,,,,,,,,, 더 많은 사람이 알아야 되는데ㅜㅜ

tao & victoria + li yin's voice = perfect

is my beloved Liyin finally back? I've waited for years for her to make a comeback. This song is perfect, it gave me chills. She, Victoria and Tao make me proud to be Chinese. Thank you Liyin for singing this wonderful song and please never leave for so long ever again

Tao's acting is so Natural. Don't waste his talent, let him act in a drama soon ^^

huhuhu i’m still here even after 7 years

I'm not even a huge fan of Zhang Li Yin or anything but how could anyone bare to dislike such a beautiful video and song..... Tsk tsk tsk

Zhang li yin = 10/10 (her voice, hair, face...) Tao = 10/10 (Tao is fab and the acting is fab + the cry scene is fab!) Victoria = 10/10 (wow...the acting is pro + a beautiful mom!) MV = 10/10 (I need more of this) maybe part 2 or something... Like like like

This shouldn't be an MV at all.. it should be a movie or a drama or something. And Liyin would be the soundtrack.. (her heavenly voice *__*) But still! It's great! Unnie Liyin! FIGHTING!

What broke my heart more than anything was that the first part (about the earthquake) is apparently a true story.

This is beautiful. Tao and Victoria, my goodness I'm crying

First MV that made me cry in ages.... I'll never forget this story from the earthquake. Tao's acting is amazing, and Vic did great too. Not to mention Liyin's beautiful voice. This is everything I've wanted from SM for years.

I nearly teared up but when the fighting scenes came up, i burst out laughing lol. SM needs to make their fight scenes look more real

You got nice parents, Tao 😂 Song Jaerim and Victoria 😂

Omg. Tears started falling, not even half way thro. I just kept leaking and it wouldn't stop omg. And the first comment on the video didn't help either. My heart. Tao looks sooo handsome. He's such a good actor too. He was so cool in this mv. Can they please turn this into a movie? I would watch the heck out of it.

Translation of the text message from Victoria: I'm sorry, I can't stay by your side anymore.. Thank you, I love you.. You have to tell our son "Mommy really really loves him."

Here we are in 2023 and I still remember this song. I listened to the song after my grandmother died in 2014.

dear SM, you should make the others' MV like this~ this is the best SM MV ever for me :')

I was only tearing up from the video and then I read the comments and the tears came tumbling down. This is the first time an SM MV made me cry.

I love this song so much. Zhang Liyin absolutely kills every ballad she is given. Her voice is amazing. She deserves albums upon albums, SM!! Let's get this video to so many views!! She deserves our love and attention

"mother-zoned" i think that's worst than the friend one XD

Victoia is a real actress in this MV!!!! natural beauty as always and excellent acting！

SM, please turn this into a drama!! Or a movie at least ♥

I'm only here for Zhang Li Yin. She has a new song finally, but still underrated. She has the most beautiful voice.

看着爱 一点一点累积成海 看着海 一点一点流向未来 我会在 每天对你说早安 也会在 夜晚点亮爱 我不曾离开 Oh 爱 不管经过多少阻碍无奈 别怕失去的等待 亲亲我的爱 要记住爱的独白 跨越距离会看到真爱 幸福在我的怀里你的依赖 呼吸在闭上眼睛止的无奈 梦醒来要记得我拥你入怀 陪你在暖和着爱 我不曾离开 Oh 爱 不管经过多少阻碍无奈 别怕失去的等待 亲亲我的爱 要记住爱的独白 跨越距离会看到真爱 Oh 震碎的痛 无法将爱掩埋 当我们在重逢 永远疼爱 我不曾离开 Oh 爱 不管经过多少阻碍无奈 别发失去的等待 亲亲我的爱 要记住爱的独白 跨越距离会看到真爱 让你相信未来我们一起 一直都不曾走散 亲亲我的爱 要记住爱的独白

how come some people dislike a perfect Song and MV! like are they in their right state of mind?

This is first time I was cried bcuz the music video

Tao and Victoria

Zhang LiYin is going better and better. I think she is the best singer in SM. I cried even I didn't watch the clip.

The ending made me want to pull my hair out, it needs to be longer lol It was just that good.

Such a lovely video. I knew it was going to be good the moment I saw the teaser. Tao did really great here and Zhang Li Yin's voice is so angelic! Yes, yes. Loved everything about this video. ♥♥♥

Tao always look so handsome when he fight! Liying jie did so well, in love with the song! Vic unnie acting was top

The story made me emotional. Family stories like this always gets me. The song is good too. And Victoria and Tao did a great job portraying their characters. A really good MV!!!

Best. MV. SM. has. ever. created. I CRIED WATCHING THIS! IT'S SO TOUCHING! THERE SHOULD BE A MOVIE ON THIS!!!! Zhang Li Yin is a beautiful singer. Her voice is amazing! Victoria is like, the best mom ever. SM has choosen the best person to play that part for this MV and Vic Unnie is freakn awesome. Tao has also done really well. That fighting scene was freakn awesome! Love this overall MV so much!

I think that using Tao as an actor in Zhang Li Yin's MV was a very strong marketing move on SM's part, I know that a lot of people might not have watched the MV if Tao hadn't been in it. But, now that we've seen Tao act, we know that he's incredibly talented, and now that we've seen Zhang Li Yin sing, we know that SHE'S AMAZING. I love her voice and I'm so happy SM is using smart ways to market her new video! The video was very original and her voice is absolutely astonishing!! I love it and I can't wait to see more from her!!!!!

came here for Tao, then amazed by Riin's voice!! btw Tao's really catching my eyes!!

Her voice is so amazing, i love it, ever since Timeless I've always tought of her a a really amazing singer... she needs more attention, more support, Zhang LiYin fighting!

This MV is talking about a mum save his son in a earthquake, but she died. That kid is Tao. When Tao grow up, he meet Vic occasionally, a girl who look like his mom. Tao cannot stop to pay attention on Vic and he getting closer to her. But still Vic find out that Tao like her just because she look as same as Tao's mum then she leave. If anyone need to know those Chinese in this MV (like words on the newspaper), you can ask me. I'm from HK.

Kudos SM for making this not a box set MV plus you made it soooo good, so love Tao & Vic's acting skills

slay those vocals

I love her for still thinking of the more than 100,000 victims who died in that tragic disaster back in 2008. I remember how my family and friends gathered together with candles and prayed for them together. She has such a beautiful and loyal heart for her home country... Thank you Zhang Li Yin

So touched... This MV is really really good I love her voice and Tao , Vic's acting are really good!!!!!

wow, the video is so beautiful T_T with zhang li yin's voice and victoria and tao just too much emotional going on

Tao should seriously be an actor.

This music video made me cry the fact that taos mother sacraficed her own life to save his and he found true love it was amazing. My fav part is wheb there both working and they bump into each other and he fixes her tie I found that really cute. This needs to be made into a movie cuz its beautiful. Not ma,y music videos r like this they normaly have fancy cars and sexy woman and all that crap but this artist chose it to be different. It stands out from all the others.

Tao is a good actor ! And this song is so beautiful, i'll cry.

Has anyone else noticed that the only reason the phone didn't break down during the earthquake and it was still usable because it was a freakn nokia?

When Tao smiles at the end...that's what really makes me cry the most.

I first know Song Jae Rim from this MV, and now (2024) he passed away.. i'm so glad i know him before and watch his work. Rest in peace, Song Jae Rim

What a beautiful voice, I have been listening repeatedly to this song since it's release, and I can't believe people want Zhang Li Yin to leave! She is a real artist!

I think the part where the mom saved the kid from the earthquake is true.. I actually read this thing about a mom saving her kid in the Chinese earthquake: "this is a true story of a Mother’s Sacrifice during the China Earthquake.

The minute Zhang Li Yin got out of the dungeon, she ran as fast as she can from the SM boxes lol Really nice video!

Wow, the singer has this wonderful voice, when did she debuted???? I love Zhang Li Yin.... I hope she will not be ignored...... Her voice is the real deal

Her spoothing voice and this heartbreaking story just makes me burst into tears

coming back here after learning that liyin left sm a few months ago :( she deserves better and she can get that now since she left

Our handsome tao did so well in this

Li Yin eonni!!! ur voice is really good,sweet,soft etc Love you eonni!! Tao and Victoria acting is really good!!!!

Couldn't understand a single word, but it's beautiful and my eyes were moist throughout the whole video. an emotional presentation, which is what all the very best songs are about.

2:07 Sm staff: How do we get Tao to scream like that? Exo: Take away his gucci. *takes away* Tao: MOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

OMG Tao's acting and martial art skills are on point!!!!!!

I could listen to Zhang Li Yin's voice forever. Tao and Victoria did a beautiful job in this. They both should be doing dramas.

AHH TAO LOOKS SO CUTE IN HERE. and zhang liyin's voice is so pretty. feels ragin'

MY ROOM IS FLOODING WITH TEARS. The feels omg my brother's looking at me weird, this is amazing. Zhang Yi Lin 's voice is so freaking perfect and this video is perfect. Can someone turn this into a fanfic please? Or SM could make a little Drama series ;)

Well, that was depressing. But on the bright side, way to come back strong, Zhang Li Yin. She's certainly been put on SM's back burner for way too long.

Zhang Liyin's perfect voice and Tao's amazing skills. I'm so in love with this video.

OMG, Am I the only one who's crying like a baby? :'( Tao and Victoria did a good job, and I REALLY LOVE Zhang Li Yin voice, it's so beautiful :)

Pure Love song. Great voice from singer, Zhang Li Yin. And great actor and actress.

This ballad is so powerful and the mv so sad TT

Please make comeback for Zhang Liyin. She had good voice.

I really love Zhang Li Yin's voice. Her soothing voice and emotion makes me cry. Its true that the mv is nice, Tao and Vic acting are good, but I wish people also put interest on Zhang Li Yin's effort in singing and deliver the emotion. It's not only MV and Tao that are the main. The song and also Zhang Li Yin talent in singing also superb. Salutes to Zhang Li Yin, Tao and Vic

Found this on an old playlist of mine, it makes me cry everytime I watch it

The last scene where there is a guy , if I'm not wrong he act in the inspiring generation .OMG , the song is really good. SM keep up the good work and of course , credits to the staff ,victoria , tao and the singer.

pleasee!!! i hope you SM!! make a comeback for Zhang Li Yin!!!! 😢😣

This story is so touchful.. love them.. tao and vict act is good.. and zhang liyin voice so goo

Perfect MV, perfect plot, with Perfect casting of actors, and perfect song that goes with it!!! ^^ Zhang Li Yin has always had great vocals, its just that SM doesn't release songs for her.. and finally they did!!! and I must say it was worth the wait! A song that would suit her voice best!
