Big S passed away due to pneumonia caused by flu, at the age of 48, shocking all circles. The keyword on Weibo trending search is "hot word." Before the family confirmed the news, a netizen revealed that they received a tour group from Big S’s family and disclosed the time of her death.
According to a screenshot circulating online, when the news of Big S's death was spreading online, a netizen replied in shock, "Is this true!" and revealed that their friend received a tour group of S’s family in Japan, pointing out that Big S passed away on the morning of the 2nd. Additionally, the netizen mentioned that Big S might have developed multiple symptoms from a cold, speculating that her health condition was originally weak, and eventually she unfortunately passed away due to a flu attack.
Big S arrived in Japan with relatives and friends on New Year's Day (January 29th) for a trip but suddenly passed away due to flu on the 2nd, and her body was cremated locally on the 3rd. After her divorce, Big S was occasionally dragged back into public discussions by her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei and ex-mother-in-law Zhang Lan. Although both sides parted ways, Zhang Lan still posted a self-encouragement article during the time of mourning, stating "Do not envy anyone, bravely be yourself, let your own light illuminate the path ahead," tagging "New Era Women," "Women's Independence," "Women's Power," etc., and even attached a video saying, "I do not envy others having a lot of people in the live stream room, I only envy myself, all loyal fans have been in my live stream room for 6 years. I do not envy others having tens of thousands online, Sister Lan once had 500,000 online. Life is like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs." Consequently, she was harshly criticized by netizens: "How heartless," "Is the blood-stained bun delicious?"
