The death of a young man in China last week, after drinking several bottles of alcohol while broadcasting live, drew criticism from the social media and phenomenon industry. The last drop that overflowed the glass was after a 21-year-old social media phenomenon tried to drop from 156 kilos to 56 kilos. Unfortunately, the young woman lost her life on this path she set out to inspire her followers.

The young woman was recounting her weight loss journey to tens of thousands of followers on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, in an effort to encourage others in her fight against obesity, state media outlets in the country reported.
The young phenomenon, who recently published many videos of intense training, stated that he was trying to lose 100 kilos.
Videos posted on the young phenomenon’s account, showing him running and exercising, were heavily shared on Chinese social media.
HE LOSE 27 KG
China National Radio reported that Cuihua, known by his surname Zhou, attended weight loss camps in various cities to achieve his goal, and had lost more than 27 kilograms in the previous two months.
IS THE WEAKNESS CAMP BEHIND THE DEATH OF THE YOUTH PHENOMENA?
It is being investigated whether the last weight loss camp he attended was behind Cuihua’s tragic death.
Because it was expressed in Cuihua’s videos that this camp made those who want to lose weight do intense exercise and follow a limited food diet.
This video taken after the death of the young phenomenon has been removed from the account. State media outlets said the phenomenon’s family received “compensation” from the weight loss camp in Shaanxi, but did not say how much.
In a statement from local authorities, it was stated that the weight loss camp was investigating whether there were excessive or inappropriate educational practices in Cuihua’s death.
