Xiao Yue was 2,18 meters tall, while her partner, Zihao, was between 1,65 and 1,68 meters tall. That difference of more than 50 centimeters became the hallmark of their videos, in which they shared their everyday lives with tens of thousands of followers.
She had pituitary gigantism, a condition that causes an excess of growth hormone. In July 2026, they learned that she also had a tumor in her pituitary gland and a meningioma. Her blood sugar skyrocketed, and her kidneys began to fail. The doctor had told Zihao that minimally invasive surgery would be all she needed, and he never thought the illness could take her life.
In the early hours of October 11, the young woman died in Sichuan, China, before going into surgery. She left behind her partner and a child who was not yet a year old. Her last video was from August 18, and at her and her family’s request, the farewell was simple and without a ceremony.
