His family confirmed the news through social media on the 27th, stating that he peacefully departed with family and friends by his side. No funeral services were held, and his body was cremated.
Film star Jackie Chan expressed his deep sorrow via a long post on social media, reminiscing about their time filming together in Europe many years ago, referring to Cai as his 'half master'. Chan shared how Cai taught him the importance of enjoying life and appreciating every moment.
