Da S passed away from pneumonia caused by influenza at the age of 48. The news of her death shocked many people. Her ashes have now been brought back to Taiwan by her sister Xiao S and her husband Koo Jun-Yup, where they are placed at home. On the 5th, Malaysian illustrator 'Autumn.ying' shared her latest artwork on IG, capturing the reunion of Da S and Liu Zhen in heaven with delicate brushstrokes. Reflecting on the duo's past appearances on shows and their 'shoe-snatching battles' at department stores, the artwork evokes deep emotions.
Da S and Liu Zhen once discussed their frequent 'shoe-snatching battles' at department stores on the show 'Kangxi Lai Le'. Da S mentioned that one time while eating at the department store's underground street, she received a call from the store notifying her of a new arrival. She immediately rushed to the store and asked the staff, "Has Teacher Liu Zhen arrived yet?" Just when she was secretly pleased that Liu Zhen was a step slower, Liu Zhen appeared at the store entrance 15 minutes later yelling, "You devil!" This humorous interaction left a lasting impression on the audience.
Upon learning this story, Autumn Ying coincidentally saw a post on Threads saying, "Liu Zhen meets Da S in Heaven, Liu Zhen: 'Why are you here?' Xu Xiyuan: 'To snatch shoes from you!', leading Liu Zhen to anxiously stomp her feet." The vivid details inspired her to turn this narrative into an illustration. In the artwork, Da S and Liu Zhen are seen wearing white dresses with high slits, revealing their long and slender legs, smiling sweetly at each other with their favorite beautiful shoes on their feet.
Autumn Ying wrote that she heard every encounter on earth is a reunion after a long separation. She also expressed gratitude to Da S and Liu Zhen: "Thank you for your reliable and gentle presence. Time may fade away everything, but those who miss you will always be here." She jokingly added, "Or is it because there were limited edition shoes in heaven and Da S went up there to snatch them?"
