Sadly, Lou Lou died of a heart attack on Oct. 14, leading to a wave of sadness among quite a few online users. “I cannot accept the fact that Lou Lou has gone forever, and my favorite emojis cannot update any more,” Weibo user Xiao Pihai_223 said. “One of the necessities(必须) in my life is watching each and every move of Lou Lou. It looks like an angel to me, and it has now gone back to paradise(天堂),” added Pai Dadui, another user.
