According to his elder sister, the accident happened around midday the previous day when Guang reportedly failed to slow down at an intersection and collided with a passing car.
He was rushed to hospital for treatment but died the following morning from the injuries he suffered in the crash.
Guang’s death came only 17 days after he reportedly completed the repayment of his family’s 3 million yuan debt.
Before becoming known on Douyin, he had reportedly faced years of financial hardship. He left school at the age of 14 and began working in an effort to help his family deal with its financial problems.
He took on different jobs and reportedly worked for long hours while keeping his personal expenses as low as possible so that more of his earnings could go towards clearing the debt.
His efforts eventually helped him build a following on Douyin, where he became known to a growing audience.
After years of working to help his family, Guang reportedly managed to clear the entire 3 million yuan debt shortly before his death.
