Yang Li-ching Remembers Friend Liu Zhen on 6th Anniversary of Her Passing
Taiwanese actress Yang Li-ching commemorated the sixth anniversary of dancer Liu Zhen’s passing on Friday, March 22, 2026, sharing a touching post on social media. The post included a previously unseen photo of the two friends, celebrating a friendship that spanned two decades.
Liu Zhen, known as Taiwan’s “National Standard Dance Queen,” passed away in 2020 at the age of 44 following a battle with aortic stenosis and subsequent heart complications. Her husband, Hsin Lung, has largely maintained a low profile since her death, focusing on their daughter and creative pursuits, though he has recently begun to return to public life.
Yang Li-ching’s heartfelt tribute featured two photos: a close-up selfie of the pair and a picture of them posing with a vibrant display of orchids. She wrote, “It’s been six years since you left us, and Facebook keeps popping up with your photos! You still look so stunning and radiant.”
The actress recalled a memory from the winter before Liu Zhen’s passing, describing a walk through a crowded flower market. “We were walking side-by-side in the bustling flower market, surrounded by warm lights, and you had such a bright smile on your face,” she wrote. “How could such a beautiful and kind person leave us so suddenly? I still can’t believe it! My heart aches.”
Yang Li-ching also revealed that the two friends had been planning to celebrate their 20th anniversary of friendship, a milestone they sadly never reached. “How could you stand me up?” she poignantly asked in her post. “Even as time passes, your image remains. You shine in my memory, like a star, like a flower, like a light that never fades. To the most beautiful, kind angel, my dearest friend, Liu Zhen!”
Fans and fellow celebrities responded to Yang Li-ching’s post with messages of remembrance and condolences, praising Liu Zhen’s spirit and the enduring bond between the two women. The outpouring of support highlights the lasting impact Liu Zhen had on those who knew her and her fans, cementing her legacy as a beloved figure in Taiwanese entertainment.
