Meteor Garden’s Actress Xu Wei Lun Passes Away at 29: The Tragic Death Linked to the Mysterious Number 128
This top actress passed away at the age of 29 after a devastating car accident, leaving behind immense grief for her family, friends, and fans.
During the golden era of Taiwanese idol dramas, Xu Wei Lun (Beatrice Hsu) was one of the most sought-after actresses, capturing the hearts of audiences. Born in 1978 into a prestigious and wealthy family, she had a privileged upbringing.
In 2001, Xu Wei Lun entered the entertainment industry as the lead actress in a music video. Her pure and sweet beauty, along with her elegant demeanor, quickly caught the public’s attention. However, it was her transition to acting that truly propelled her to fame.
She made a lasting impression with her roles in Meteor Garden, Love at 18, Fly Away, Sunny Girl, Love Storm, Turn Left, Turn Right, and more. Entering the industry at 23, it took her only five years to rise to A-list status and become one of Taiwan’s most beloved actresses.
Despite her privileged background and remarkable talent, Xu Wei Lun’s life was tragically short. At 29, she passed away in a horrific car accident. Her sudden death was a shocking loss to her loved ones and left countless fans across Asia in mourning.
The Mysterious Number 128 in Xu Wei Lun’s Tragic Passing
Tragedy struck Xu Wei Lun in late January 2007. She was returning home from a film shoot when the car driven by her assistant lost control on Taiwan’s National Highway No. 1 in Taichung. The vehicle crashed into a median strip, spun out of control, and was then struck by a truck that couldn’t brake in time, completely crushing the rear of the car.
While her assistant sustained only minor injuries, Xu Wei Lun was critically injured. Upon arriving at the hospital, she was in a deep coma, suffering from severe brain hemorrhage, bleeding from both ears, and chest trauma. Doctors predicted that even if she survived, she would remain in a vegetative state.
Despite receiving intensive medical care for 48 hours, Xu Wei Lun couldn’t pull through. She took her last breath at 7:37 PM on January 28, 2007, passing away at just 29 years old.
Following her death, speculation arose about the mysterious connection between the number 128 and her passing. She died on January 28 (1/28), and coincidentally, her idol, singer Wang Mo Jun, had also died in a car accident on the same date.
Moreover, her family had planned to move into an apartment numbered 128 just before her accident. Her personal diary contained exactly 128 pages, and the last book she read featured a protagonist who also died on January 28. These eerie coincidences made her death all the more mysterious.
