A 38-year-old blogger who shot to fame by driving a tractor to the Tibet Autonomous Region committed suicide, local police have confirmed.
His wife claimed that he was a victim of cyberbullying.
Sun Fanbao, also known as "Guan Guan," hailed from Pingyi County, Linyi, Shandong Province. He gained popularity online for driving a tractor alone to Tibet in 2021.
A screenshot from Guan Guan's video shows him driving a tractor to Tibet alone.
In a video post, his wife claimed Sun had been dealing with cyberbullying for more than half a year. Eventually, he committed suicide by drinking pesticides. Sun leaves behind two elderly people, who are in their 60s, and a 3-month-old infant, she said.
Sun recently posted videos saying that he was being slandered by malicious rumors and had no choice but to "choose a road of no return."
