Local songwriters and music producer Lee Wei Song shared on Weibo on October 23 that his twin brother, Lee Si Song, had suffered a sudden brain haemorrhage in Beijing about a month ago. Thankfully, the surgery went smoothly, and Lee is now undergoing rehabilitation.
In his post, Lee Wei Song wrote:
“Hello everyone, I’m here to update you on my younger brother Si Song’s condition. A month ago, he suddenly suffered a brain haemorrhage in Beijing. Thankfully, his colleagues discovered it in time and rushed him to the hospital. The surgery went very well. Si Song is now actively cooperating with rehabilitation treatment, accompanied by his family, and his overall condition has greatly improved!”
He also mentioned that the brothers will be holding a joint concert in Beijing at the end of November, and left an encouraging message for his brother:
“Wait for you to come back, let’s work hard together!”
At the end of his post, Lee expressed gratitude to the Chinese medical team for their timely care and wished everyone peace and good health.
Many well-known artists showed their support in the comments. JJ Lin wrote: “Teacher Si Song, wishing you a speedy recovery. Please get plenty of rest! You’ve worked hard.”
Stefanie Sun also commented: “Teacher, you’ve worked hard. Rest well and recover quickly.”
When contacted by Lianhe Zaobao on the evening of October 23, the brothers’ manager said:
“Thank you for your concern. Teacher Si Song’s condition has stabilised, and he is continuing his rehabilitation treatment in Beijing.”
The 59-year-old twin brothers, who celebrated their 40th year in the music industry in 2024, had earlier shared in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao about their childhood memories and long musical journey, from forming a band and releasing albums in their early days, to later becoming composers, producers, and founders of a music academy to nurture new talents.
When asked if he planned to retire as he approached 60, Lee Si Song replied:
“Retire at 80 or 90? If I can still write at 80, I’ll keep writing. I’ve never thought about retirement, nor is there a need to retire. Making music is like playing. Times are changing, and new technologies push us to keep improving ourselves. Never giving up is, in a way, setting an example for the younger generation of musicians.”
