Taiwanese singer Xie Yijun, known for her marriage to fellow artist Chen Suiyi, recently experienced a dramatic 5-kilogram weight loss and a noticeable change in her complexion, raising concerns about her health.
Chen Suiyi revealed that Xie Yijun's rapid weight drop was initially attributed to her month-long commitment to a no-starch diet. However, her significant thinning and altered appearance prompted Chen Suiyi to seek medical attention. His concern was heightened by a family history of diabetes, as his father passed away from the condition in his 50s.
Further alarm bells rang when a routine health check-up revealed blood in Xie Yijun's stool, a potential indicator of colon cancer. This finding, coupled with her rapid weight loss, prompted an immediate and comprehensive medical examination at a major hospital.
Fortunately, the extensive tests concluded that Xie Yijun is in good health, with only mild acid reflux detected. The scare of colon cancer turned out to be a false alarm. Chen Suiyi later learned that his wife had independently moved all the belongings from their third-floor home while he was away, suggesting her intense physical exertion during the move likely contributed to her weight loss and fatigue.
