Chinese influencer, 24, who once smashed Guanyin statue in video, dies after traffic accident
She had around 1.28 million followers on Douyin.
In July, a 24-year-old Chinese influencer, whose real name was Li, perished following a severe traffic accident, as per reports from Chinese media outlets. Her online persona was Jiang Xiaorou. Born and raised in Lanshan County, Yongzhou, Hunan province, Li had previously gained notoriety for controversial videos, including one where she smashed a Guanyin statue.
Tragically, Li was traveling from Guangxi back to Guangzhou in the early hours of July 15 when she found herself involved in a serious traffic accident. Hospital records later revealed she had suffered from severe multiple trauma, including haemorrhagic shock, impaired blood clotting, damage to multiple organs, and a serious brain injury. As a result, she slipped into a coma and required ventilator support, subsequently being admitted to the intensive care unit.
News of Li's demise broke online on August 10, initially shared by a social media user who claimed to be her assistant. Later that day, a hospital staff member confirmed her treatment at the intensive care department. However, an official from Li's hometown village confirmed on the same day that she had unfortunately passed away.
