She believed that the Western procedure would kill her faster. She was so convinced that TCM will be able to cure her disease.
What she didn’t know was that, TCM treatments is extremely painful… She underwent treatments such as acupuncture, back scratching, blood letting, cupping, and a pinching remedy called jiusha. She underwent a lot of pain, even my heartache looking at these picture!
When no positive results came from all these treatments, Xu Ting’s sister had called it an end! She convinced Xu to go for chemotherapy instead, rather than being tortured by all these treatments. Xu finally gave in and decided to start Western treatment, yet it was too late.
She was too weak by then, her body couldn’t stand chemotherapy.
She updated on her Weibo, saying:
“I’m out of breathe yesterday night… early morning my family sent me to the hospital to get air support and that’s how I survived…”
“Please take this away from me, this is too painful!” *crying*
On September 7, she passed away. Her sister confirmed her death on Weibo, fans were so shocked and sadden by it.
Her death sparked an outrage over the Chinese community. They blamed TCM for the cause of the actress’s death. But there’s also some defended TCM saying, even chemotherapy could have killed her too.
Throughout the torment of this illness, Xu tried to stay positive. She even donated money towards children with cancer. She said
Now, she went to a better place. No longer she has to suffer in pain. Rest in peace, and condolences to her family and friends.
