Liu Yunfei is no longer in this world.
Recently, during a gathering of friends, a close friend inadvertently mentioned a shocking piece of news: Liu Yunfei had passed away, and it happened last year.
In fact, over the past couple of years, rumors about "Liu Yunfei has died" or "Liu Yunfei has disappeared" have persisted, occasionally spreading on the internet and within football circles. However, there has been almost no solid evidence. It wasn't until this offhand comment from the insider friend that our attention was once again drawn to Liu Yunfei.
"After leaving Shanghai Shenhua, Liu Yunfei was always elusive," said the insider during the conversation. "He spent time in Tianjin and also came to Shanghai, but except for a very few relatives, he basically didn't keep in touch with anyone else. Sometimes even his parents couldn't find him."
"Last year, he passed away in Tianjin, but his parents never announced his death publicly."
