Actress Ha Tinh passed away due to a brain tumor; heartbreaking images of her in her final days.

CHINA - Before her death, actress He Qing had been quietly battling a brain tumor for 10 years. She limited her outings and rarely met with family and friends because she wanted to maintain a positive image.

According to Sina , actress He Qing's funeral took place on December 15th at the Changping Funeral Home in Beijing, China. Many colleagues and fans braved the cold weather to bid her farewell.

The family initially wanted to hold a private funeral for close relatives and friends. However, at the earnest request of the public, they opened the doors to allow more people to pay their respects.

The family set up a large screen to show classic images and film clips of the actor. The entire hall was filled with wreaths from relatives and friends, including fellow artists who were close to Ha Tinh.

Hứa Hà, Hà Tình's son, read the eulogy at the funeral. He recalled his mother's optimism and positivity throughout her battle with illness, as well as the actress's deep love for her children and family.

Hứa Hà recounted that her mother had always loved snow. After every snowfall, the actress would put on a thick coat to go out and admire the scenery.

"On the day my mother passed away, Beijing also experienced its first snowfall. I felt as if this snowfall was specifically for her," he recounted.

Ha Tinh was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2015. The tumor compressed her optic nerve, causing blurred vision and frequent headaches. The actress had to undergo craniotomy surgery to remove the tumor.

Despite the successful surgery, she suffered many health consequences, especially affecting her ability to speak. The actress's pronunciation was unclear, her voice trembled, and she frequently ran out of breath.

Ha Tinh once returned to acting, but speech impediments forced her to give up. The actress subsequently retired, requesting permission to relinquish the role so the director could find a replacement.

Images of Ha Tinh in her final days, shared online, have saddened viewers.

Despite her illness, Ha Tinh remained strong, constantly encouraging her son to maintain optimism in life no matter what.

In her final days, she was almost in a coma. When she regained consciousness, the actress's greatest concern was her children's work and well-being.

Born in 1964, Ha Tinh showed a talent for acting from a young age. She graduated from the acting department of Zhejiang Art School and officially entered the entertainment industry at the age of 20.

She is the only actress to have appeared in all four classic films adapted from China's Four Great Classical Novels: Journey to the West (as Lingji Bodhisattva), Dream of the Red Chamber (as Qin Keqing), Romance of the Three Kingdoms (as Xiao Qiao), and Water Margin (as the courtesan Li Shishi).

"Even in my wildest dreams, I wouldn't have believed this, becoming the actress to be featured in all four classic films," she once shared.

Besides her beautiful looks, Ha Tinh is considered a talented actress who can play a wide variety of roles.
