Wan Anan Gave Her Followers an Update
According to Dexerto, the 27-year-old internet personality stopped posting content last year. Followers then began asking what happened to Anan. Local news outlets in Hunan had the answer: she had fallen from the 35th floor of a building.
The influencer was rushed to a local hospital, where she spent 50 days in an intensive care unit. Her recovery included many surgeries.
Anan told followers earlier this month that the fall had broken "every bone" in her body. Doctors added that there was bleeding inside her skull. The influencer also suffered extensive internal organ damage and major trauma to her cervical spine.
Anan shared that she also has some memory loss and has lost the ability to speak at times.
"Suffering is not meant to destroy me, but to forge me," she told followers in the video. "Life is not about being glamorous, but about the courage to face the broken pieces and piece them back together."
Fans Are Happy To See the Influencer Back in Action
Anan said she felt "reborn" after her fall and subsequent recovery. Her video has received nearly 2 million likes. Fans have said they are "thankful" she is posting content again and that she is "very lucky" to be alive.
However, some influencers have not been as lucky as Anan. Last week, Manuel Otto, a video game designer and influencer, died after reportedly setting himself on fire during a livestream.
Reports shared that Otto's body was discovered after a fire at the influencer's property in Bavaria, southeast Germany. A neighbor reportedly spotted the fire and tried to put it out. Twitch took down Otto's footage.
"What took place is horrible, and the mental health and well-being of our community matters deeply to us," said a spokesperson for the platform. "We encourage anyone who may be struggling to seek support, and we offer tools on Twitch to help people connect with local mental health resources in their area."
