Hong Kong filmmaker Huang Baiming said Shi Tian's son Dickson confirmed the death of his father Shi Tian. According to the report, Shi Tian died of cancer, and his last wish was to deal with the affairs behind his back in a low-key manner, so his family did not disclose too much news to the outside world.
Some netizens posted on Weibo this morning that Shi Tian had passed away and expressed "sadness", and Hong Kong artist Lin Junxian also posted on social media last night to mourn Shi Tian, saying that he had received news of the other party's death.
