On June 14th, the renowned Chinese host Bai Rui announced with a trembling voice in a video, “My comrade Jin Yun has passed away.” She mourned her friend, stating that Jin Yun had been in the ICU fighting for her life for 15 days due to pulmonary arterial hypertension before passing away on April 30th. The news shocked the public, and the keyword “Jin Yun’s passing” trended as the number one topic on Weibo.
According to Bai Rui, Jin Yun had been admitted to a hospital in Hangzhou at the end of April, where she spent her final days. In the last stage of her life, Jin Yun endured immense pain but remained strong. Her face turned red due to the pulmonary arterial hypertension, and she bravely battled with the grim reaper for 15 days in the ICU.
Records show that Jin Yun was originally a host at the Shanghai Oriental Radio and Television Broadcasting Center. She had hosted various radio programs including “Rolling News,” “Living to 100 Years Old,” “Tonight,” “Effective Parenting,” and “Sweet Sound and Listening.”
What catapulted Jin Yun to overnight fame was her participation in a TV show called “Mama Mia.” During the show, she sang the song “Wide Ocean and Sky,” resonating with numerous mothers’ feelings and showcasing her talent beyond hosting. She also revealed on stage that she was suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension and doctors predicted she only had three years left to live.
According to reports from “JiMu News,” Jin Yun had been out of the public eye for an extended period due to her illness and in 2021, rumors of her passing circulated. To dispel the rumors, Jin Yun used a friend’s doctor account to clarify the situation and updated her personal Weibo to prove that she was still alive.
Despite breaking the three-year life curse, Jin Yun ultimately could not overcome the illness and passed away on April 30th this year, freezing her life at the age of 43. It is shocking that from her diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension in 2012 until her death 12 years later, Jin Yun had received 117 critical condition notifications.
