On the evening of the 18th, a number of Hong Kong media suddenly broke the news that Hong Kong actor Zhang Xuerun (Nel Nel) died burning charcoal in the mainland.
According to Hong Kong media reports, Nel Nel was found to have died burning charcoal in his apartment in Shenzhen on the 18th, and the first person to find out that he had an accident was actress Luo Lin. Luo Lin and Nel Nel are neighbors, and the two had dinner together the night before, and they did not notice that Nel Nel was different.
After discovering that Nel Nel was dead, Luo Lin called the police and urgently searched for his friend's family online, and his brother cried even more when he learned of the bad news.
Nel Nel's former friends include Fat Ma, Guan Baohui, Lu Shiyun and others have confirmed the authenticity of the news. The reason for Nel Nel's suicide is speculated to be related to financial difficulties.
The fat mother still painfully said that she had invited Nel Nel to cooperate on the platform online. Later, Nel Nel opened Douyin himself, often took his dog to open live shows, heard that it was doing well, and cooperated with some merchants, but could not receive money.
She had also heard that Nel Nel was having financial difficulties, and she didn't understand why Nel Nel did so much work but couldn't receive money, and Nel Nel would call her when she encountered difficulties in previous years, and this time she may not be embarrassed to tell her.
And Luo Lin was interviewed by Hong Kong media on the 19th, saying that Nel Nel moved to Shenzhen two years ago due to work, but the two are not neighbors, and she is not the first person to find out that Nel Nel committed suicide, and the person who really found out the matter was Nel Nel's colleague, and she rushed to the scene as soon as she knew it to understand the situation.
Luo Lin also revealed that Nel Nel suffers from depression and has been depressed in recent days, but there is no problem when everyone eats together on the 17th. Coupled with the fact that Nel Nel is a person who reports good news and does not report bad news, no one expected him to go to a dead end.
Although Nel Nel did not leave a suicide note, the words "financial difficulties" and "depression" can all show that his life is not easy.
Nel Nel's father is Hong Kong tennis champion Zhang Zidai, who had a short happy childhood.
However, his parents eventually divorced due to emotional discord, and in 1980, he immigrated to Canada with Guan's mother and studied fashion design courses there. In 1988, he returned to Hong Kong to participate in the "Asia Pacific Song Contest" and was also a finalist in the quarterfinals. But because of his studies, he returned to Canada.
After returning to Hong Kong during the summer vacation, she met supermodel Liu Juanjuan and was invited to be the image designer of the "Miss Asia Contest".
Because of the role of image design for "Miss Asia Campaign", he has a good relationship with many Asian sister-born contestants. After the news of his death came out, Wu Qili, Wu Yongwei and others were shocked and sad, and expressed their condolences.
He also introduced Luo Lin to participate in the beauty pageant and nominated Yang Cheng to participate in the Hong Kong sister competition.
Since then, he has served as an image director for many singers such as Tong Po Ru and Kwan Shuyi, and has also served as image consultants for Chan Wai Han and Kwok Fu Shing and others.
His father, Zhang Zidai, who was fined for stealing from a supermarket in 2011, said he had become a taxi driver after his retirement and had no financial problems. After his parents divorced, he had less contact with his father, but he would see each other several times a year, and he would also give his father money.
Nel Nel has also appeared in front of the scenes, has made guest appearances in many films, and has hosted shows for Cable Works. However, his career in front of the screen has not developed well, and he can only make his face familiar, but there is no bright role, but the image design work is flourishing.
Because of his habits, he didn't save much and failed to make investments. When the epidemic hit, he invested in 6-figure cooperation with friends to launch disinfectant products, but in the end, he lost his money.
In 2021, when he participated in the event, he confessed that his work had been hit hard by the epidemic, and once a year he was so poor that he could not even afford new clothes.
Later, he focused on the mainland and opened a video platform, but the effect was not satisfactory.
On the 17th, he also taught netizens how to dress on the video platform, encouraging everyone to have the courage to try, everyone actually has many possibilities, and also said that "new clothes can cure all kinds of unhappiness" and "every day is out of print of yourself".
Unexpectedly, on the 18th, he burned charcoal and died.
Judging from the fat mother's revelation this time, he has received a lot of jobs in private, but he can't get a salary.
I wonder if this will be the last straw that overwhelms him?
