Mayday drummer Guan You celebrated his 53rd birthday on July 28th, receiving touching birthday wishes from his two daughters, Liu Xinyu (Xiao Meigui) and Liu Xinyi (Xiao Qiangwei).

His elder daughter, Liu Xinyu, shared a particularly moving message on Threads, recalling the comforting sound of her father's return home and his ever-present smile. She expressed gratitude for his role as the family's "warm sanctuary," emphasizing his unwavering support and love. Xinyu acknowledged his dedication as a drummer, moving audiences with his rhythm on stage, but highlighted his even greater contribution at home through his companionship, responsibility, and love.

‘Sister, little sister, Dad’s back.’ This is the most familiar and reassuring sound we’ve heard since we were little. No matter how late you work, you always come home with a smile when you open the door. As a drummer, you move every audience with rhythm on stage; when you come home, you are the dad who supports our warmest sanctuary with companionship, responsibility, and love!

Xinyu, who is also pursuing a music career, reflected on how her appreciation for her father deepened as she grew older and entered the music industry herself. She recognized that his true impact extended beyond the beats of his drumsticks, encompassing his silent sacrifices for their well-being and better lives. She thanked him for being their strongest support during times of need and for always offering his best smile despite any pressures he faced.

His younger daughter, Liu Xinyi, shared a childhood photo with their father on Instagram, simply wishing him a "Happy Birthday papa!" The shared sentiments from both daughters underscore Guan You's cherished role not just as a musician but, more importantly, as a devoted and loving father who provides a stable and warm presence for his family.
