Taiwanese female artist Xu Xiyuan (better known by her stage name Big S) recently died of influenza-complicated pneumonia at the age of 48. It is worth noting that although flu sometimes exhibits a number of symptoms similar to the common cold, it can be deadly for some people. Even young people can be at serious risk if they do not manage their health seriously.

Before her death, Big S suffered from epilepsy, heart disease, asthma, and other chronic illnesses, which caused her condition to deteriorate rapidly when she contracted the flu, leading to her sudden death.
