Barbie Hsu (Chinese: 徐熙媛; pinyin: Xú Xīyuán; 6 October 1976 – 2 February 2025), also known by her stage name Big S (大S; Dà S),[1] was a Taiwanese actress, singer, and television host,[2] best known for her leading role in the two seasons of the television series Meteor Garden (2001–2002). Hsu ranked 33rd on the Forbes China Celebrity 100 in 2010,[3] 16th in 2011,[4] and 45th in 2012.[5]
Early life
[edit]Hsu was born on 6 October 1976 to Hsu Chien and Huang Chun-mei in Taipei as the second child of three sisters.[6][7][8] She had an elder sister, Hsu Si-hsien, and a younger sister, Dee Hsu.[9]
Hsu"s paternal family owns a jeweler"s shop in Taipei, founded by her paternal grandfather, a waishengren from Tancheng County, Shandong.[10] When she was young, her mother, originally a waitress at the restaurant next to the Hsus" jeweler"s shop before marriage, separated from Hsu"s father due to pressure from his family on her to bear a son, along with his infidelity, domestic abuse, alcoholism and gambling. Hsu"s mother raised her three daughters by working as a real estate broker but did not officially divorce Hsu"s father until the late 2000s, after Barbie and Dee agreed to pay off their father"s gambling debt.[11][12] The Hsu sisters maintained a good relationship with their father, who passed away from liver cancer in 2012 at the age of 59.[13]
In 1994, Barbie and Dee enrolled at Taipei Hwa Kang Arts School, after Hsu had spent a year at the National Kuo Kuang Academy of Arts, whose military-style discipline prompted her to drop out. At Hwa Kang, the sisters befriended classmates Pace Wu and Aya Liu. Together with fellow artists Christine Fan, Mavis Fan, and Makiyo Kawashima, they formed a close-knit group known as the “Seven Fairies.”[14]
Career
[edit]At age 11, Hsu made her first film appearance with a cameo in The Sea Plan (1987), after which she appeared in several advertisements. While attending Hwa Kang, she was discovered by Chen Kuo-Chin, founder of Famous Records, who signed her as a singer. At their mother"s request, he later signed Dee as well. However, before their debut, contractual disputes arose, as the sisters" playful personalities clashed with Chen"s vision of a more innocent image for them.[15][16] As a result, their first album, Zhan Ling Nian Qing (佔領年輕), was shelved for two years. By the time of its release in 1994, Chen intended to name the duo Dubi Duwa (嘟比嘟哇) after one of their songs, "Do Bi Di Wa," but Hsu sought help from the album"s producer, Bing Wang, who renamed them S.O.S. (Sisters of Shu), a name that also led to their respective stage names, Big S and Little S.[17]
The duo gained popularity in 1995 with their hit song "Ten-Minute Love" (十分鐘的戀愛) from their second album Best of S.O.S., but their following albums received little notice. In 1997, during their career slump, they opened a clothing store and prepared to leave the industry. However, Hsu as a field host on the variety show Guess caught the eye of veteran TV producer and manager Wang Wei-Zhong. After terminating their contract with Chen, whose agency banned them from releasing albums under their original group name, they rebranded as A.S.O.S. (All Sisters of Shu) and signed with Wang.[15] Following this, the duo shifted their career focus from singing to hosting.[1][18] They co-hosted variety show Guess (1996–2000), entertainment news program 100% Entertainment (1998–2005),[19] and cooking show Gourmet Secrets of the Stars (2007–2008), while releasing their eighth and final album in 2001.[20] The duo ended their management partnership with Wang Wei-zhong and established their own studios in 2010.[21]

As an actor, Hsu rose to pan-Asian fame with her leading role of Dong Shancai in Meteor Garden (2001) along with boy group F4.[1] Besides the Chinese-speaking world, the show brought her fame in South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.[22] The show earned her a nomination for the Best Actress at the 36th Golden Bell Awards and is credited with ushering in the idol drama genre and the golden era of Taiwanese TV shows.[23][24] After a sequel Meteor Garden II (2002), where she reprised the role of Shancai, Hsu went on to star in TV dramas such as Eternity: A Chinese Ghost Story (2003), Mars (2004), where she reunited with F4 member Vic Chou, Corner with Love (2007), Summer"s Desire (2010). She broke into film by starring in the Chinese horror film The Ghost Inside (2005), and followed with films such as Silk (2006), My So Called Love (2008), Connected (2008), Hot Summer Days (2010), and Reign of Assassins (2010).[25] For her performance in Connected, a remake of the Hollywood thriller Cellular (2004), she received the nomination for the Best Actress at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards.[26]
In addition to acting, Hsu published a beauty guide Beauty Queen (美容大王) in 2004, followed by a sequel in 2007. Both books became bestsellers across the Chinese-speaking world, earning her the nickname "the Beauty Queen." Among the many beauty tips she popularized were the "red wine facial mask" and the use of the hair-loss treatment Rogaine on the eyebrows to enhance their thickness.[27][28] She also co-authored SOS Chao Meng Qing Chun (SOS超猛青春; 1996) and SOS Tokyo Shopping Map (SOS東京拚裝大地圖; 1998) with Dee, the former about their teenage years and the latter a Japanese fashion and travel guide, and published Hu Die Fei Le (蝴蝶飛了; 2005), a collection of poems,[29] and Lao Niang Jia Dao (老娘駕到; 2015), a memoir about motherhood for her first child.[30]
After marrying Chinese entrepreneur Wang Xiaofei in 2011, she retreated from acting, but still appeared in variety shows and advertisements. From 2011 to 2012, she served as a stand-in host for Dee in the variety-comedy talk show Kangsi Coming.[31] In 2018, she made her last film participation as a voice actress in the dubbed version of the Pixar animated film Incredibles 2.[32] That same year, she hosted Chinese variety show Miss Beauty and participated in the marriage reality show Xing Fu San Chong Zou (幸福三重奏) with her then husband Wang Xiaofei.[33] In 2019, she participated in Season 2 of Chinese reality dating series Dream Space (戀夢空間) as a commentator and in the Chinese travelogue series We Are Real Friends (我們是真正的朋友) with Dee, Mavis Fan and Aya Liu.[34][35] She also co-produced Dee"s Talk (2021–2022) hosted by Dee.[36]
Personal life
[edit]Relationships
[edit]Hsu dated Blackie Chen for seven years starting in high school.[37][38] She dated South Korean singer Koo Jun-yup from late 1998 to 2000. They broke up due to the "dating ban" by Koo"s agency.[39][40][41] She dated actor Lan Cheng-lung from 2001 to 2005,[42][43] followed by a two-year relationship with actor Vic Chou until early 2008.[44][37][45]
On November 16, 2010, after a whirlwind romance, Hsu married Chinese entrepreneur Wang Xiaofei, the son of Zhang Lan, founder of the restaurant group South Beauty, in Beijing. They held their wedding banquet on the island of Hainan on 22 March 2011.[46] Just four days before their wedding, Hsu had a miscarriage and underwent a surgery to remove the foetus.[47][48]
After Hsu married Wang, she stopped her vegetarianism of over ten years, which she had started after her pet dog recovered from an illness; according to Hsu, Wang"s mother influenced her to give up vegetarianism so that she could bear children.[18] Hsu and Wang had two children: a daughter born in April 2014 and a son born in May 2016.[49] In 2017, Wang opened the S Hotel in Taipei, which was named after Hsu with a budget of NT$350 million and was closed in August 2024.[50][51] In 2018, Hsu had an abortion after her embryo stopped developing, eight days before she began filming the marriage reality show Xing Fu San Chong Zou with Wang.[52][48]
In the late 2010s, Hsu and Wang"s marriage had been increasingly beset by rumors of Wang"s affairs and his outspoken nationalism regarding China"s unification with Taiwan. In February 2021, Hsu requested a divorce and initiated negotiations with Wang, who sought reconciliation. They briefly reconciled until June, when reports emerged that two passengers had tested positive for COVID-19 in Xiamen after departing from Taiwan—one of whom had been allowed to board by Taiwan"s Uni Air despite a positive test result—prompting Wang to harshly criticize Taiwan"s pandemic and vaccination policies on Weibo, as well as the island"s growing pro-independence and anti-China sentiment, referring to some Taiwanese as "hanjian."[53] Hsu then disclosed to Taiwanese media that she was divorcing Wang, whose remarks she declined to comment on, though both Wang and Hsu"s mother denied the divorce then.[54] On November 22, 2021, Hsu and Wang officially announced their divorce.[55][56]
After her divorce, Hsu and Koo Jun-yup rekindled their relationship. They registered their marriage on February 8, 2022, in South Korea and on March 28 in Taiwan without a wedding ceremony, except for matching wedding tattoos, which were tattooed by Koo.[39][40][41][57] In November 2022, Hsu sought enforcement of spousal maintenance at the Taipei District Court against Wang, claiming that he had failed to honor their divorce agreement since March of that year. Wang responded by stating that he continued to pay for child support and Hsu"s personal maintenance but did not wish to cover her family expenses—primarily the electricity bill for the house where Hsu and Koo lived—after Hsu remarried. Wang then put up a guarantee of NT$1,625,000 to halt the enforcement procedure against him.[58][59]
In the following years, Hsu and Wang were embroiled in a high-profile and bitter legal battle, while Wang also repeatedly proposed remarriage but was rejected by Hsu.[60] Both accused the other of infidelity and domestic abuse during their marriage.[61][62][63][64] Wang and his mother also accused Barbie and Dee of abusing drugs and supporting Taiwan independence,[65][66][67] which the sisters denied.[68] In August 2023, Hsu sued Wang and his mother for defamation.[69] At the time of Hsu"s death on 2 February 2025, the second hearing of the case over dividing the matrimonial assets was to be heard on 27 February 2025.[70]
Charity
[edit]Hsu was an active supporter of charity over the years, particularly advocating for women"s and children"s rights, LGBT rights, and animal rights.[71][72][73] She was one of the first major celebrities to collaborate with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.[74]
Health
[edit]Hsu was one of the first Taiwanese celebrities to publicly discuss mental health, including her battle with depression in 2000, from which she recovered after one year. She also had a long history of anorexia. Hsu experienced two miscarriages. In 2011, she had to terminate her pregnancy due to fetal demise, and in 2018, while pregnant with her third child, she underwent a miscarriage procedure after the embryo stopped developing. In 2017, after being hospitalized following a fainting episode, Hsu revealed that she had a pre-existing condition of mitral valve prolapse and a history of epilepsy, including a near-fatal episode during the birth of her son in 2016.[75][76]
Death
[edit]On 29 January 2025, Hsu traveled to Japan during the Chinese New Year holiday where according to her sister, she caught influenza.[77][78][79] She died in Tokyo on 2 February, at the age of 48. The cause of death was originally thought to be pneumonia, stemming from influenza complications, but later confirmed to be septic shock.[disputed – discuss][80][81][82] The news of her death from influenza complications led to a surge in demand for influenza vaccinations in Taiwan and other parts of Asia.[83][84][85] Hsu"s remains were cremated in Japan, and her ashes were returned to Taiwan on a chartered flight on 5 February. Her family saying that no memorial would be planned due to Hsu"s preference to "keep a low profile" and that she would have a tree burial according to her wishes.[86][87]
On 8 February 2025, Douyin indefinitely banned the accounts of Wang Xiaofei, Zhang Lan, and Xia Jian—Hsu"s former husband, former mother-in-law, and Zhang"s godson, respectively—for spreading false information about Hsu and "disrespect for the deceased",[88] though Zhang continued to livestream on TikTok, Douyin"s international version, and opened new accounts through her team on Douyin.[89][90][91] Weibo removed over 2,100 posts containing "the falsehoods from external sites" and imposed penalties on over 100 violating accounts, including the suspension of live-streaming on Zhang Lan"s account.[92][93]
