In recent news, a Chinese influencer by the name of Zhong Yuan Huang Ge has passed away. Huang Ge’s death occurred after he live-streamed a drinking challenge online. This unfortunate incident marks the second death of its kind in just one month.

Brother Huang, also known as Zhong Yuan Huang Ge, passed away on June 2 due to alcohol intoxication. He was 27 years old. According to a report by Jimu News, the wife of the deceased announced his passing on Tuesday.

She stated that he had been attempting to earn funds in order to fulfill his financial responsibilities. In the latest development, a second incident has occurred within a month’s time. The incident follows the demise of Brother Three Thousand, a 34-year-old livestreamer who passed away after consuming excessive amounts of alcohol on Douyin, the Chinese counterpart of TikTok.

According to Chinese media reports, a man known as Brother Three Thousand and identified by the surname Wang was discovered deceased 12 hours after participating in a live stream on May 16th. It is believed that he consumed a minimum of seven bottles of baijiu liquor prior to his passing.

In a tragic incident, a live-streamer from China has passed away after participating in an online drinking challenge.

Huang, with a following of 176,000, has been captured on video downing baijiu and lighting tissue paper soaked in alcohol. In another clip, he is seen with a stack of dozens of bottles. According to the Straits Times, Ms. Li, the wife of a man who has been married for eight years, stated that she intends to work for the remainder of her life in order to pay off her husband’s debts.

According to sources, the couple has a son who is preparing to begin kindergarten this year. Additionally, it has been reported that Huang constructed a new residence earlier this year.

As reported by Southern Metropolis Daily, it has been revealed that the two influencers were acquainted with each other. Additionally, Huang had reportedly attended Wang’s funeral and made a commitment to reduce his alcohol consumption.

According to reports, Baijiu is said to contain as much as 60 percent alcohol. During his broadcasts, Huang and Wang were known for drinking Chinese liquor. Some influencers believe that sharing daring stunts on social media can boost their chances of earning money from their followers.

In a viral social media video, Wang was seen consuming multiple bottles of baijiu spirits and igniting some of it on the table. The news of his demise has sparked widespread online discussions in China and has led to demands for stricter regulations of the country’s flourishing live-streaming sector.

On May 16th, Wang participated in four individual battles against influencers in an effort to receive the highest number of gifts from fans in a limited amount of time. According to viewers, he reportedly lost three rounds and subsequently consumed baijiu as a penalty, consuming at least seven bottles that evening.

After midnight, Wang concluded his live streaming. According to a friend who spoke to a Chinese news outlet, he was found dead the next afternoon. He was found by his family, but unfortunately, he had already passed away. According to Shangyou News, a man named Mr. Zhao reported that the individual in question did not receive emergency treatment.

According to reports, Douyin has banned drinking during live streams. According to sources, penalties for violating app guidelines may include receiving warnings, being restricted from participating in livestream competitions, and having one’s profile displayed on the app.

According to Chinese media reports, Wang was reportedly banned from the app for drinking, but managed to circumvent this restriction by creating new accounts. With over 44,000 followers, his latest account has gained significant traction.

According to a report released by authorities last year, the short video platform industry, including popular platforms such as Douyin, has a total worth of approximately 199 billion yuan (£22 billion) and boasts over one billion active internet users. The death of Wang has sparked renewed demands for the safety and regulation of similar applications.

In a recent development, the People’s Daily’s opinion section has taken to Weibo to condemn what it calls “off-track livestream behavior.” Several Chinese live streamers have reportedly passed away due to their online activities.

According to his agency, Yu Hailong, who gained fame on Douyin for his ability to consume large quantities of food, passed away in 2021 after extended periods of high-intensity work. In 2018, a live streamer known for consuming beer and cooking oil during his broadcasts, named Dafei, passed away shortly after an online show.
