According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on October 24, the 27-year-old influencer, who had been active on Chinese social media under the name “Wananan” (real name: Wananan), recently announced her return.

In June last year, she accidentally fell from the 35th floor. She suffered severe injuries, including fractures to her cervical vertebrae, organs and bones throughout her body. She survived because she first hit a tree and then landed on bushes, which cushioned the impact. Immediately after the accident, she was rushed to the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, where she underwent a 14-hour major operation. She also spent time in intensive care, where she fought through a critical period.

Nearly 17 months after the accident, she posted a video announcing her return and sharing that she was recovering, saying, “I have overcome adversity and been reborn.” She said that during treatment, she endured intense, piercing pain throughout her body as her wounds healed, but that she had discovered a greater meaning in life through her ordeal.

“Pain came not to break me, but to make me stronger,” she said. “The value of life lies not in its splendor, but in the courage to face the broken pieces and put them back together.” She added, “My life is no longer mine alone; it also belongs to everyone who helped me. I will live the rest of my life beautifully, with gratitude to them.” She said she continues to do rehabilitation exercises every day.

The hospital that treated her also congratulated her through its official account, saying, “We are delighted to celebrate her new life with her” and “Thank you for showing so many people the power of life.”
