China mother with cancer, using 999 ‘legacy photos’ to inspire others, overcomes disease
After defeating cancer, Wang transforms ‘legacy’ project into “rebirth photo” initiative to encourage other patients
A Chinese influencer and cosplayer, who garnered public attention with her “999 legacy photos” project after being diagnosed with breast cancer, recently announced her victory over the disease, inspiring countless mainland netizens.
On December 10, the 42-year-old Beijing mother of three, known as Wang Xiaobei or “Beiye is Superwoman” online, shared a video celebrating her triumph over cancer with her 1.6 million followers on Douyin.
With excitement, she declared: “Today, I officially announce the end of my 999 ‘legacy photos’ project because I have successfully beaten cancer!”
Wang detailed her journey: “From my diagnosis last year to now, I’ve undergone endocrine therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and 20 rounds of radiotherapy. I’ve finally made it through and successfully passed the critical period. Moving forward, I’ll still need to take lifelong medication to prevent recurrence.”
After her breast cancer diagnosis in October last year, Wang initiated the plan to take 999 “legacy photos” to capture beautiful moments in life despite the challenges posed by her illness.
Before her diagnosis, Wang was a vibrant, cheerful mother passionate about photography and cosplay, even winning the national championship on the Chinese reality show Super Diva in July last year.
