Fan Zhiqi is an outstanding actor who was active in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He became famous for his role as Jiang Wei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and became one of the household names.
Although his acting career was in its heyday, his illness ended his short but glorious life in a tragic way. Fan Zhiqi's death undoubtedly brought great sadness to the entertainment industry, and countless people felt sorry for it.
What was the reason for his untimely death?And why wait months before the official announcement is made?
The entertainment industry has lost Fan Zhiqi.
In October 2010, a shocking news spread in the circle of friends, announcing the death of Fan Zhiqi.
The veteran actor was at the peak of his career, but he died quietly at the age of 54 due to a sudden attack of cancer.
Fan Zhiqi is a low-key and very dedicated actor.
From the moment he debuted, he has maintained a low-key and humble style.
Whether on set or in everyday life, he has never put on a high profile and is always passionate about his work.
Even in the last few months of his life, he still chose to insist on completing the filming work, and even concealed his illness and continued filming silently.
He is regarded as a role model who sacrificed his life and focused on his career.
However, when the news of his death was finally revealed, another round of heated discussion was set off.
Why did Fan Zhiqi choose to hide his illness?
Why did his family wait until six months after his death to make the news public?
Perhaps in his conception, work is the whole of his life, the meaning of his existence.
In order not to cause trouble to the filmmaker, or to allow yourself to concentrate on the final work, you may choose to hide your illness.
The family chose to keep their mouths shut, perhaps to protect his image and prevent people from seeing the dying side of his life in the process.
Fan Zhi regards acting as his lifelong career and spiritual support.
Despite his illness, he continued to do what he loved and never gave up.
In the final stages, undergoing chemotherapy was like giving up on acting for him, which was completely inconsistent with his life beliefs.
Fan Zhiqi therefore decided to fight the disease to the end, even if it meant the consumption of his life.
Perhaps Fan's moral choices have raised some eyebrows, but many more, especially his friends and family, have shown tolerance and understanding.

Director You Xiaogang invited him to discuss some shooting issues at that time, and the two had a good conversation. Suddenly, Fan Zhiqi felt dizzy, and his whole person suddenly fell to the ground weakly.
You Xiaogang was taken aback and hurriedly helped him up, Fan Zhiqi smiled and said that it was okay, it may be hypoglycemia caused by a diabetic attack. You Xiaogang didn't delve into it, and then left after a few words of greeting with him.
Fan Zhiqi took more than a dozen painkillers a day in order to complete his work. However, the director didn't know it, and he eventually returned home in severe pain.
However, when Fan Zhiqi had just returned home that night, he fainted at the door again.
His wife heard the noise and hurried out to check, only to see that her husband had stopped breathing.

The wife was heartbroken, and she couldn't believe that the person she loved had left the world like this.
In order to protect her husband, and because it was difficult to face her grief, Fan Zhiqi's wife initially did not announce his death.
It wasn't until half a year later, when people began to question why Fan Zhiqi was absent from work, that she bravely disclosed the truth of the tragedy.
Some people even blamed You Xiaogang, thinking that if he forced Fan Zhiqi to seek medical treatment at that time, he might have been able to save his life. These accusations deeply hurt Fan Zhiqi's wife and You Xiaogang.
Fan Zhiqi is a best friend and partner for You Xiaogang.
He was also saddened to hear the bad news.
You Xiaogang recalled that Fan Zhiqi insisted on working for several months during his illness, and his heart was full of guilt, maybe he should have forced Fan Zhiqi to go to the hospital at that time.
However, regret for the past is of no avail, and the loss of life is meaningless.
