At about 8 pm on the 24th, Chen Baozhu's many relatives and friends came to the show, including her younger sister Chen Baoyi and her younger sister fulelin. Although her 98 year old mother Gong fanhong had already left the front line of performing arts, she had more support for her daughter's career. She also loved Cantonese Opera and came to cheer her daughter up in person.

Gong pink was sitting in the first row of seats under the stage, while cousin Chen Baozhu and other relatives and friends were sitting on both sides and nearby. When the performance was about to begin, a large number of reporters came forward to take photos. After a few minutes, they saw Gong feel unwell, and their relatives immediately rubbed her chest to relieve her, but the situation did not improve. Seeing this, cousin Chen Baozhu immediately informed the staff to report to the police and pushed Gong Fu out of the venue in a wheelchair to wait for an ambulance.

Chen Baoyi, who was watching the performance, was shocked by the news and rushed to the hospital with her husband. When Chen Baoyi learned that her mother's rescue was invalid, her eyes turned red and she frequently sent text messages to relatives and friends. Because Chen Baozhu was performing on stage, the staff were afraid of affecting the performance, so they didn't tell her the news immediately. At that time, many people knew the bad news. Seeing Chen Baozhu performing with all her strength on stage, they couldn't help but feel sad. It wasn't until 11 p.m. that Chen Baozhu realized that she was separated from her mother forever. At that time, many guests went backstage to celebrate the success of Baozhu's performance, but no one dared to mention her mother's death. However, Chen Baozhu still endured her grief and said, "I'm sorry, I can't talk any more. I'm in a hurry to go to the hospital to see Mommy..." After that, he rushed to the hospital with his son Yang Tianjing.
