A week ago, a single mother in mainland China revealed that Xu Xiyuan had paid her medical bills, according to Next Apple. Following her disclosure, many others shared their stories of receiving assistance from the late actress, leading to widespread recognition of her philanthropy on social media.
The mother recounted that her son suffered from epilepsy, with monthly treatment costs of 2,000 CNY (approximately 7,5 million VND). Facing financial hardship and exhaustion, she had repeatedly sought assistance. Xu Xiyuan contacted her to provide financial aid for the child, requesting that the information remain confidential.

Another single mother in Guangxi shared that her daughter battled leukemia, causing immense financial and emotional strain for their family. Through her manager, Xu Xiyuan sent the mother 300,000 CNY (over 1,1 billion VND), adding, "Focus on your child's treatment; if it's not enough, please let me know." The mother reported that her daughter's condition is now controlled, crediting Xu Xiyuan for her child's recovery.
In 2013, a man received 20,000 CNY (approximately 75 million VND) from Xu Xiyuan to continue his university studies after his family experienced a setback. The actress and her manager contacted him to verify his situation before transferring the funds, also requesting that he keep the matter private.
Xu Xiyuan also secretly provided medical assistance to children suffering from tuberculosis and Tourette's syndrome. The relatives of these children stated that when transferring funds, the actress simply expressed her desire for the children to receive adequate care and treatment.
Xu Xiyuan passed away suddenly on 2/2 in Japan at the age of 49. She entered the entertainment industry in the 1990s, achieving fame across several Asian countries for her role as Sam Tai in "Meteor Garden". The success of this work established Xu Xiyuan as a leading Chinese celebrity. She later garnered acclaim for her roles in "Connected", "Reign of Assassins", and "Summer's Desire".
According to Next Apple, Xu Xiyuan maintained her popularity despite retiring from acting in 2011, with assets exceeding one billion TWD (over 30 million USD). She owned two properties in Xinyi District, Taipei, with a combined value exceeding 500 million TWD (approximately 15 million USD). After her passing, DJ Koo stated that Xu Xiyuan's assets were the result of her hard work, and she always intended to use her earnings to protect her family. Consequently, he relinquished all his inheritance rights to his mother-in-law.
