Her father spoke at her memorial service telling the crowd that aside from songs recorded in June, she still has some tracks that have not yet been published. He declared that the family will take some time to organize them. The memorial service yesterday in Shenzhen was attended by her family, Chinese singer Liu Huan and Na Ying, her coach on the Voice of China. Thousands of fans and local citizens flocked to pay tribute to the singer's life.

Yao was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 when she was 30.

Late last year, she was hospitalized in Shenzhen, Guangdong province due to the cancer's return.

Yao, who had already made a name for herself singing theme songs for hit television shows like Legend of Zhen Huan and Feng Xiaogang's film 1942, auditioned for the second season of the Voice of China in 2013. Her wide vocal range and immaculate techniques won the hearts of the judges, and also that of the public.
