Best Friend Reveals Barbie Hsu Was Extremely Generous with Wang Xiaofei Before Her Death – Chartered Flights to Beijing and Family Trips to Switzerland All Paid by Her

After the passing of "Barbie Hsu" Xu Xiyuan, ongoing attention has focused on her inheritance and financial situation. Recently, it was revealed that after liquidating her accounts in Taiwan, she had less than 2 million NT dollars (about RM252,000) in cash left, a sharp contrast to her status as a top-tier female star, sparking heated discussions. In response, members of the "S Squad," her close circle of friends, revealed Barbie Hsu's lifelong attitude of valuing relationships over money. They disclosed that she once covered a chartered flight from Taipei to Beijing for Wang Xiaofei’s entire family, costing around 2 million NT dollars (about RM252,000). She also nearly paid in full for the family's travel, accommodation, and transportation during their trip to Switzerland. In her eyes, the joy of family togetherness was far more important than money. Her close friend admitted that Barbie Hsu's philosophy about money since childhood was that "money is only a tool for living; as long as there’s enough, that’s fine." Although friends worried her generosity might affect her quality of life, Barbie Hsu, after consulting her financial advisor to ensure she had sufficient assets, would reassure everyone with a smile, saying, "Absolutely enough to live on," telling her loved ones not to worry about her. While disputes over her inheritance continue, to her friends and family, what she truly left behind is not only her body of work, but also her sincere and generous spirit towards those around her.

After ending her ten-year marriage to Wang Xiaofei—despite experiencing many ups and downs—the "S Squad" has, for the first time, shared Barbie Hsu’s truest feelings before her death. Her friends revealed that during the tense period after her marriage, Barbie Hsu’s greatest wish before the divorce was for Wang Xiaofei to find a partner he genuinely loved as soon as possible. In Barbie’s view, once he had a new emotional anchor, he could let go of the past and accept reality, allowing them both to be freed from their nominally existing relationship.

In addition, Barbie Hsu had long struggled with depression, anorexia, and epilepsy. It was recently revealed that she also suffered from panic attacks before her passing, which had a severe impact on her life. She stayed home for long periods with little social interaction and was reluctant to communicate with others, rarely contacting the outside world. Barbie’s close friend shared that in the three or four months before she died, her mental state stabilized compared to before—her conversations increased, she became more cheerful, interacted more frequently with friends and family, and even regained her old smile. These have now become her loved ones’ most precious and enduring memories of her.
