The suddenness, danger and high mortality rate of this disease make it known as the "immortal cancer".
Zhou Haimei's death not only caused the entertainment industry to lose an outstanding actor, but also caused countless fans to lose the goddess in their hearts. Her film and television works have accompanied the growth of many people and left deep memories. Her last public appearance was at the 9th Ya'an Giant Panda and Nature Film Week in November 2023. Her style at that time was still unforgettable.
There are different opinions on why Zhou Haimei settled in Beijing. There are rumors that she came to Beijing to pursue a relationship, but in the end the relationship ended without any problems.
