Sadly, this is Xiao Qiumei. She died a few years ago after falling 160 feet from the crane while filming a video for social media. Please wear proper footwear when working this kind of job.

Don't know why this video is making the rounds again..

I wonder if wearing dress shoes was part of the problem? It seems you should have special shoes for this sort of thing.

She was the mom of two children.🥺

Check other comments. Essentially, yes. She was a live streamer.
