Several passersby who spotted Yan at the restaurant said he was wiping his tears from time to time, while eating his meal. In an interview, Chia, 51, shared that since it was her first time at Hsu's grave, she wasn't sure what to say. 'So I told her, 'Shancai, Daoming Si came to see you,'' she said, referencing the characters Hsu and Yan famously portrayed in Meteor Garden . Hsu and Yan became friends in 2001 after starring in the hit drama, and their bond remained strong over the next 24 years. According to reports, during one of Yan's lowest moments, Hsu stayed up talking with him until dawn, offering encouragement and guidance. Following her passing, Yan took to Weibo to express his grief, saying he was grateful to have known her. 'You often said to live every day as if it were our last. I hope you will walk slowly this time. From now on, in another world, there will be no troubles and the years will be peaceful,' he wrote then.
