They married on 12 February 1961 in Hong Kong.
She committed suicide at home in Hong Kong in July 1964, using an overdose of sleeping pills and inhalation of methane gas, due to family matters referred by the media as "trivial".

En 1961, elle épouse l’homme d’affaires Long Shen-xun, fils du seigneur de la guerre Long Yun, mais poursuit sa carrière. La même année, elle remporte son quatrième prix d’interprétation à l’Asian Film Festival pour « Love Without End (film, 1961) », qui sera son rôle le plus mémorable.
Elle se suicide en 1964.
Trois films inachevés seront complétés par des doublures et sortiront de façon posthume quelques années après sa mort : « The Lotus Lamp » (avec Cheng Pei-pei, 1965), « The Blue and the Black » (film en deux parties, 1966), qui remporte des prix à l’Asian Film Festival et au Golden Horse Festival, et The Mirror (film, 1967) .
