Taiwanese celebrity Sun Anzu faces serious legal trouble after being arrested and detained on suspicion of violating firearms and ammunition control laws. The investigation, which began with an incident involving a flamethrower, has escalated into a major firearms offense.

Authorities confiscated a shotgun from Sun's residence, and forensic analysis confirmed the weapon possesses lethal capabilities. This development has significantly raised the stakes for Sun, who was previously ordered to be held incommunicado by the court.

The situation has drawn public attention to his mother, actress Di Ying, whose physical and mental well-being is a cause for concern. Close friend Bai Bingbing, who is nominated for a Golden Melody Award for Best Taiwanese Female Singer, recently spoke about Di Ying's condition.

Bai expressed her distress, stating that while friends offer support, their concern has limitations. She emphasized the importance of family cohesion during such difficult times, likening her attempts to advise Di Ying to that of a grandmother's plea. The legal proceedings against Sun Anzu are ongoing, with the case now classified as a severe firearms offense.
