It has been half a year since Barbie Hsu passed away in Japan. Her husband, DJ Koo, has been devotedly keeping vigil at her grave in Jinbaoshan Cemetery every day, while her fans have flocked to the memorial bench dedicated to Barbie in Cavendish Square, London, UK, bringing flowers and handwritten cards to express their longing for her in heaven. The bench is overflowing with bouquets, creating an incredibly heartwarming scene.
According to British custom, when a loved one passes away, the family often donates a bench in their name at the seaside or in a park, for passersby to rest on. Friends and relatives may then bring flowers as a tribute. This May, Barbie Hsu's European fans organized a fundraising event, announcing that they wanted to set up a commemorative bench for Barbie in the UK. The necessary funds were raised within just three hours. After the news of the bench's installation was released, fans of Barbie living or studying in Europe brought flowers to the spot to pay tribute to her.
However, some netizens have reminded others not to place bouquets directly on the bench, but rather next to it so as not to prevent passersby from resting, ensuring that the memorial bench serves its intended purpose. Some fans from Taiwan have even asked British netizens to film videos, hoping that Barbie's mother can see them, to comfort her in her grief and let her know that she is not the only one who misses Barbie—her many fans also remember her fondly. Barbie Hsu continues to live on in the hearts of all her friends, family, and fans.
