He was also active on social media, sharing insights into local cuisine and engaging warmly with followers.

Following careful consideration by his family and in respect of his wishes, the clinic will undergo the necessary legal procedures for permanent closure.
Dr. Chen reportedly collapsed at his clinic on the afternoon of July 28 and was rushed to the hospital, but efforts to save him were unsuccessful. The news has deeply saddened his patients and former colleagues, many of whom expressed shock, with one patient noting he appeared in good health during a visit just days prior. The family is currently focused on funeral arrangements and will provide further updates on the clinic's closure timeline later.
Thank you for Dr. Chen's years of dedication to dermatology and medical aesthetics. He always upheld professionalism and benevolence, meticulously caring for every patient. His contributions to the clinic and medical work are unforgettable.
