A well-known livestreamer who shared her cancer journey online has passed away shortly after announcing her “cure” to followers. Chen Meiying, a 39-year-old mother, lost her battle with triple-negative breast cancer on October 12 after a year-long struggle with the aggressive disease. Meiying’s life took a drastic turn in 2024 when she received the devastating diagnosis, leading to the closure of her clothing store and financial strain due to mounting medical expenses.
Turning to livestreaming on TikTok, Meiying sang traditional songs to raise funds despite her health challenges. Despite her illness, the cheerful woman from China maintained a positive persona for her 17,000 followers, exuding warmth and smiles in her videos.
In a surprising turn of events on April 16, Meiying removed her IV line and declared herself “cured,” only to face a recurrence of the cancer just two months later. The disease quickly spread to her bones and lymph nodes, with doctors offering only palliative treatments.
Throughout her declining health, Meiying remained dedicated to her daily routines, particularly continuing to accompany her teenage daughter on the school run despite her pain. She shared her final post on September 22 before being hospitalized on September 26. Meiying passed away on October 12 and was laid to rest in her hometown, leaving behind her elderly mother.
Known for her inspiring outlook on life, Meiying once emphasized the importance of not letting unhappiness affect one’s health. Triple-negative breast cancer, a highly aggressive and challenging form of breast cancer, progresses rapidly with limited treatment options and a generally poor prognosis. According to Cancer Research UK, this type of cancer is more common in women under 40 and is rare in men.
