Tue Feb 04 08:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Sudden Death of Taiwanese Actress Big S Shocks Entertainment World
Taipei, Taiwan – Taiwanese actress Big S (Xu Xiyuan), 48, passed away on February 2nd in a Tokyo hospital due to complications from influenza, according to her family. The news sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry.
Big S, known for her high-profile marriage and subsequent acrimonious divorce from businessman Wang Xiaofei, was on a family trip to Japan during the Lunar New Year holiday when she succumbed to the illness. Her sister, Little S (Xu Xidi), confirmed the tragic news.
Wang Xiaofei, who was vacationing in Thailand at the time, immediately flew to Taiwan upon hearing the news. His arrival at the airport was marked by a deep bow, pleading with the media for kind words towards his ex-wife. Later, he was seen walking home alone in the rain, a somber image that contrasted sharply with their past public disputes. His subsequent emotional social media posts expressing grief have sparked considerable online discussion, including screenshots of deleted comments on a reality show featuring the former couple.
Big S and Wang Xiaofei’s ten-year marriage, often documented publicly, ended in a bitter separation, marked by public disagreements and accusations from Wang’s mother. The stark contrast between their past animosity and Wang Xiaofei’s current display of grief has led to mixed reactions online, with some critics questioning the authenticity of his emotion.
Big S’s funeral arrangements are underway in Japan. Her remains are expected to be returned to Taiwan later this week. The sudden loss of the beloved actress has left fans and colleagues in mourning. The incident has also sparked discussion concerning the medical care received during her illness in Japan.
