His translated Weibo post reads: “Thank you for meeting you in your carefree, childish years. You always said to live every day as if it were your last. I hope this time, you will walk away slowly. From now on, in another world, there will be no troubles and the years will be peaceful.”

Jerry portrayed the iconic role of Dao Ming Si, a member of F4โ€”a group of four wealthy and influential students, who eventually fell in love with Shan Cai (played by Barbie). He starred alongside Vic Chou as Hua Ze Lei, Ken Chu as Ximen, and Vanness Wu as Mei Zuo.

Kenย took to Instagram to honor the renowned Taiwanese actress. He shared two Instagram storiesโ€”the first was a solid black photo, while the second featured a throwback picture of the Meteor Garden cast, which he had originally posted in 2023 for the show’s 22nd anniversary.

“Big Smile, Big Heart, Big Laugh, Big Loveโ€ฆ Big S,” he wrote. “Thank you for all your kindness throughout the years, especially from when we first metโ€ฆ Miss you dearly Barbie. Rest in Love.”

Barbie Hsu died at the age of 48 because of influenza-induced pneumonia, as confirmed by her family. She caught the flu during the Lunar New Year Holiday in Japan.

Dee Hsu, her sister, said: โ€œI am grateful to have been her sister in this lifetime, to have cared for each other and accompanied each other. I will always be thankful for her and miss her forever.โ€
