Social media influencer Zhang Jingwen, known as “Shining Little Wen,” passed away on June 26, 2025, at the age of 20, after battling late-stage gastric cancer.

The importance of early medical evaluation for persistent gastrointestinal issues is emphasized.

Chinese social media influencer “Dai Dai Yang” has died at 22 after battling bone cancer for 1,610 days, diagnosed at age 17. She shared a poignant farewell message, expressing gratitude to her followers for enriching her life and encouraging them to cherish each other and live well.

Chinese tech influencer Xiaosuanmiao Zhang was banned from gaining followers on Weibo and Douyin after a Beijing court upheld Xiaomi’s defamation lawsuit, requiring her to delete posts, issue a public apology, and pay ¥56,595 in damages. The ruling aligns with China’s *Private Sector Promotion Law* enacted May 20, 2024, which protects private enterprises from defamation. State media recently condemned online “toxic practices” targeting companies, while analysts view the verdict and law as dual mechanisms empowering businesses to combat reputational harm and curbing “digital vigilantism,” reflecting heightened regulatory focus on stabilizing corporate environments.
