meteor girl: barbie hsu ㅜㅜ...

warning: this post discusses recent celebrity deaths and their potential connections. if you're sensitive to these topics, please read with caution.

it’s always unsettling when public figures pass away, but when multiple tragedies happen close together, it feels even more surreal.

only recently did i find out that barbie hsu remarried dj koo… i had no idea. and now, suddenly, she’s gone. what’s even crazier is that just the day before her passing, i was talking about clon. it feels eerie, like a strange coincidence i can’t shake off. hopefully, he’s okay. losing someone that close must be devastating.

barbie hsu was an icon. meteor garden wasn’t just a drama; it was a cultural phenomenon. she defined an entire era of asian dramas, and her portrayal of shan cai was so memorable that people still associate her with the role decades later. her acting felt real, like she wasn’t just playing a character—she was that character. even now, it’s hard to believe she’s really gone.

what’s even more unsettling is that her death has been mentioned alongside the passing of chinese actor liang you cheng, who was only 27. reports say he died from complications related to the flu, which ended up affecting his central nervous system. that’s terrifying. it makes you wonder—how does something so common, something most of us don’t even think twice about, turn fatal like that? it’s a reminder that health isn’t something to take lightly. when people say “it’s just the flu,” it’s easy to brush off, but clearly, it can escalate into something far worse.

the connection between their deaths is still unclear, and honestly, i don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the timing feels strange. i’ve seen people theorizing about stress, immune system decline, and the hidden toll of the entertainment industry. the pressure to always appear strong, always be present, always maintain a perfect public image—it’s a lot. we never really know what’s happening behind the scenes.

it’s weird how some names stay with you your whole life. barbie hsu was one of those names. even if you weren’t a hardcore fan, you knew her. you knew meteor garden. her impact was massive, and it’s strange to think of the world without her in it.

rest in peace, barbie hsu. and rest in peace, liang you cheng. life is fragile, and these stories keep proving it over and over again. stay safe, everyone. take care of yourselves. 

reminder: don’t glaze over things that seem small—they might not be!!
