Surprisingly, Chu Xiao died unexpectedly in 2004. After the sensational elopement, Zhao Hui insisted that he still loved Chu Xiao: "Chu Xiao died innocently and tragically in a triad firefight. His ashes were laid in Yingtian Temple, Chengdu, and he died unjustly. So far, the case has not been closed and the murderer has not been brought to justice. He died, and I got a lover who will never leave. When I was lonely, I held his ashes and said to him,' I never stopped loving you.' "
