The 23-year-old mainland Internet celebrity "Giant Xiao Mo", who claims to be 230 cm tall, was shocked to spread the news of his death, but his family refused to receive the ashes for unknown reasons.
According to media reports, "Hunan Giant Xiao Mo" has 148,000 followers on Douyin, and its self-introduction column reads, "My name is Xiao Mo, from Shaoyang, Hunan, and now I am 2.3 meters tall (that is, 230 cm), I am an ordinary rural girl, I had an operation when I was a child, which caused my eyes to be blurred, which is why I became disabled, and God played a joke on me", and the account was last updated on January 10.
The report pointed out that the news that Xiao Mo had passed away has been circulating on the Internet recently, and the cause of death was complications caused by the flu. Subsequently, the Xinning County Women's Federation confirmed that Xiao Mo had indeed died on January 16 and had been cremated.
Many villagers in the same village revealed that Xiao Mo was not in good health, and her father was away all the year round, so she was mainly taken care of by her grandmother. Xiao Mo caught a cold and fell ill a while ago, and after she passed away, her family didn't seem to hold a funeral for her, nor did she go to receive the ashes, "her father just said no."
The village committee responded that they had come to communicate and persuaded Xiao Mo's father to take back his daughter's ashes, but the other party said "no", and they had no choice. The local funeral home also confirmed that Xiao Mo had indeed been cremated, and the family did not take the ashes away, and other details were inconvenient to disclose due to privacy concerns.
