Chinese Internet star dies after excessive alcohol drinking during livestream
A Chinese Internet star died after drinking an excessive amount of Chinese alcohol during a livestreaming PK competition.
The 34 year old Wang Moufeng, also known as Brother Sanqian, is a popular Chinese celebrity from Jiangsu province in the northeastern part of China. He died on Tuesday, May 16 after he finished a livestreaming session with others in a competition drinking Baijiu.
PK is one feature in the Chinese livestreaming app where at least two streamers engage in a contest while viewers watch and act as voters.
According to the report, Wang put four bottles of Baijiu into a huge wine glass and drank the entire glass in one go. Baijiu is a colourless liquor typically ranging from 35% to 60% in alcohol content. His lifeless body was found the following day.
“I was very shocked by the death of my friend. We were close friends. I did not think he would die from this cause. He was an honest and good-natured person. I received the news on the night of May 19 and travelled to my hometown to see him for the last time. I could not sleep since yesterday.
“He died on May 16 after the livestream ended at 1am. His dead body was found dead at 1pm the next day. I don’t know how much he had been drinking before streaming, but I saw him drink nearly four giant glasses of alcohol in the video. He drank three bottles without vomiting and then continued with a fourth bottle.”
Additionally, Zhao posted a farewell video for his friend with a caption saying…
“I’ve come to see you for the last time. I wish you a safe journey. I hope there is no brutal PK competition in heaven and no Baijiu.”
