Desk: The death of a 21-year-old influencer while
attempting to shed 100 kg at an extreme weight-loss boot camp in northeastern
China has sparked debate about how to govern the influencer sector.
Cuihua, the Instagram influencer, was attempting to drop half of
her body weight as an encouragement to her fans.
According to CNN, the
death of the influencer has caused state media to warn about the safety dangers
associated with weight-loss programs, as well as fresh concerns about the
pressures women face to conform to conventional beauty standards.
Cuihua
has been filming her weight-loss journey for her tens of thousands of fans on
Douyin, China's version of TikTok, in an effort to motivate them in their own
battles against obesity, according to state media agencies in the nation.
She
recently posted many videos of herself performing intense training routines,
revealing that she weighed 156 kilograms and was attempting to reduce 100
kilograms.
According to China National Radio, Cuihua lost more than 27
kilograms in two months by enrolling in numerous weight-loss camps across
China.
Cuihua had attended her final camp in Shaanxi province just two
days before her death, according to CNR.
While that camp encouraged "nutritious meals, rest, and
healthy exercise," they claimed she decided to restrict her nutrition
while simultaneously engaging in strenuous activity.
Cuihua training videos and photos have now been taken from the
account.
According to state media reports, the influencer's family received
"compensation" from a weight loss camp in Shaanxi.
The death of the influencer is being examined by local
authorities, who are looking into whether the weight loss camp was performing
excessive or improper exercise.
