On December 12, a sad news came, Zhou Haimei's studio issued an official statement confirming the news of her unfortunate death: "Sister Haimei left us on December 11, 2023 due to ineffective medical treatment. May there be no disease in heaven, and may we meet again in the next life!This shocking news spread in the entertainment industry for a while, which was unbelievable.
A few words, like a hammer in the cold wind, made countless people who were familiar with her feel heartache and trance, as if they had lost a bright star. This is not just lamenting the fall of beauty, but also lamenting an era that once belonged to itself, it seems to be quietly coming to an end without a trace. 
In 1994, Zhou Haimei experienced a failed and short-lived marriage and parted ways with Lu Liangwei, who was 11 years apart. She is unrestrained by nature, and she does not want to settle, let alone become a bird in prison. This kind of heart was discovered by Yang Peipei, a gold medal producer in Taiwan, China, and she had the work "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" that changed her life. Most of the women in Mr. Jin Yong's pen are soft and trapped by love all their lives, but Zhou Zhiruo is different. Zhou Zhiruo stood in the middle of the field, the mountain wind blew her shirt and skirt, and it seemed that even her delicate body was shaking, but none of the thousands of heroes from the three mountains and five mountains around dared to come forward to challenge. Zhou Zhiruo stayed for a while, but still no one stepped forward. If Zhou Zhi loves Zhang Wuji, she wants to be forced, from the initial gentle and naïve to the later ruthless and vicious, all of which are vividly shown in Zhou Haimei's interpretation. 
People of that era collectively said that this "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" can be called a classic, and Zhou Haimei satisfied everyone's imagination of Zhou Zhiruo, which was unearthly and chivalrous. The cinnabar mole between her eyebrows has also become her trademark. Jin Yong admired this "Zhou Zhiruo" and even wanted to rewrite the ending for her. That was Zhou Haimei's highlight moment, and she became a non-negligible presence among Hong Kong actresses. Zhou Zhiruo, who once amazed the world, finally cut her hair and became a nun, although Zhou Haimei later also played many other roles, but it was always difficult to surpass the classic image of "Zhou Zhiruo". However, the Zhou Zhiruo she played has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience and has become an eternal classic. Later, Zhou Haimei also chose to enjoy life alone, in a sense, it can be regarded as a reflection of reality and a sense of fate.
