According to Sohu, Thu Phong - a Shaolin monk famous on social media - was involved in an accident on the night of August 7 when he was traveling on a highway to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province (China).
There was a taxi driver and Thu Phong in the taxi. After crashing into the rear of a truck, the driver died on the spot. Thu Phong was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment but did not survive. He passed away on the night of August 8, at the age of 21.
On August 9, the news of Thu Phong's death became a hot keyword on the Weibo social media platform, ranking number 1 in search results.
Many fans and colleagues of Thu Phong expressed their condolences and sadness for the young talent. Thu Phong's death is a significant loss for the generation of successors to Shaolin Temple and the Chinese martial arts community in general.
Thu Phong previously participated in the film "Fang Shui Hai". "Fang Shui Hai" is a wuxia film about the character Xiao Zhu Shui - the son of the master of the Hoan Hoa Kiem faction.
During a heroic journey with his brothers, Xiao Zhu Shui inadvertently incurred the wrath of the two most powerful forces in the underworld. Although the Hoan Hoa Kiem faction is not a small faction, it still lags behind the two leading forces, resulting in the entire Xiao Zhu Shui clan being wiped out.
Subsequently, Xiao Zhu Shui swallowed the infinite dan, cultivating the Vong Tinh Thien Thu, with great power and began to seek revenge for the faction.
According to 163, the current Chinese entertainment industry lacks actors with beautiful martial arts movements, meeting the requirements of the wuxia film genre.
Therefore, Thu Phong's appearance once attracted much attention. The role of the same name in "Fang Shui Hai" is also a notable milestone in the acting career of the young Shaolin monk.
