63-year-old Taiwanese star Ma Jingtao suddenly fainted, took a hard fall, and hit the back of his head while livestreaming a performance in Hangzhou, China on the night of the 21st. Staff members rushed to his aid, raising concerns about his health. On the evening of the 22nd, he reassured everyone: “I'm terribly sorry for worrying everyone. Brother Xiao Ma is here to let you know I’m safe. The weather was too hot, I was a little dazed for a moment, but I’m fine now. Thank you all for your concern. Please, everyone, remember to take care in this hot weather and stay cool. Brother Xiao Ma loves you.” He explained that it was the weather that caused him to lose consciousness momentarily.
On that day, Ma Jingtao was participating in a Hangzhou Songcheng livestream themed around ‘The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’. He wore multiple heavy layers of period costume, playing the character ‘Zhang Wuji’, and was highly cooperative in recreating a nearly hour-long scene in the heat. When he fainted, the event organizers said it was due to low blood sugar, and that after resting he was fine. Netizens have suggested he should get a full health check-up in the future.
