My mind was still thinking about the autograph session yesterday when I was suddenly shaken back to reality by a news article: Xu Weilun, a popular and pretty Taiwanese idol drama actress passed away yesterday after failing to survive a severe road accident which took place a few days ago. While on her way travelling down south to Taichung for filming, Xu Weilun's car swerved and crashed into a road barrier due to some unknown reasons, and a truck coming from behind failed to stop in time, hence resulted in the tragedy. Doctors tried in vain to save her life, and she finally lost her battle to death at 5.09pm yesterday afternoon, 40 over hours after she was admitted to hospital.
Prior to this news, I had totally no impression of her. Afterall, I was never a fan of Taiwanese idol drama, and had only seen her name when it came out in Yahoo Taiwan's news section days ago after the accident occured. However, there was something eerie here: there're many cases of Taiwanese stars who lost their lives in road accidents! Singer-songwriter Zhang Yusheng and singer-actor Yang Qinghuang are among those few. And, I'm not sure if it's mere coincidence, but 18 years ago on the same day, Taiwanese singer Wang Mojun and one-half of the now-defuct duo "Seasame & Longan" (Zhi Ma Long Yan) Lin Yuru met with an road accident together. Wang Mojun died on the spot, while Lin Yuru passed away 14 days later.
This is indeed a very tragic news, even though I do not know her. It simply strengthens my belief in that life is too fragile, and that we should make use of every possible opportunity to try achieve what we wish to achieve in life. Afterall, everything will come to a halt when the pulse is gone, not even if you're a superstar. Rest in peace, Xu Weilun!
