Zhu Mingyue, a Chinese influencer, died on March 26. She was 41.

A year and a half before her death, Zhu revealed to her more than 100,000 followers on Douyin that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

“For the past year and a half, she had been repeatedly tormented by illness, enduring unimaginable physical pain yet she remained optimistic and strong,” her daughter penned in her tribute, per Sina. “A few days before she passed away, already blind and slurring her speech, she still held my hand and comforted me, ‘Don’t cry, baby. This is a tough time, but Mommy will be better in a few days.’ ”
According to Sina, Zhu was born in Harbin, China, and graduated from Harbin Normal University in 2002, ultimately becoming a Chinese business leader in addition to cultivating a social media presence.
“She spent her whole life worrying about others, caring for everyone around her, but neglecting herself,” continued her daughter in her obituary, per Sina. “My mother was strong-willed her whole life and never bowed to illness. During chemotherapy and radiotherapy, she underwent frequent blood draws until her veins were almost impossible to puncture, but she gritted her teeth and persevere, never considering giving up.”

Continued the tribute: “As her daughter, my heart was filled with heartache and resentment; I couldn’t bear to see her suffer, yet I longed for the time I had with her. She once said, ‘As long as I have a breath left, we three children will still have our mother.’ ”
