BEIJING — “Chase Me,” a Chinese television show, is famous for pushing its contestants to the limits. Participants scale tall buildings, skid down obstacle courses and hang from tightropes, often to the delight of screaming fans.
北京——中国电视节目《追我吧》以挑战选手体能极限而闻名。竞技者攀登高楼，滑下障碍赛道，高悬在钢丝下，常常令尖叫的粉丝们大为兴奋。
But on Wednesday, the show came under national scrutiny in China after a 35-year-old actor and model, Godfrey Gao, died suddenly while filming an episode in the eastern Chinese city of Ningbo. Mr. Gao collapsed while running, apparently from a heart problem, according to a statement on Wednesday by the “Chase Me” production team.
但本周三，35岁的演员、模特高以翔在中国东部城市宁波录制该节目时突然死亡后，该节目在中国引起了人们的高度关注。《追我吧》的制作团队周三发表声明说，高以翔在奔跑时晕倒，显然是由于心脏问题。
The death of Mr. Gao, who was born in Taiwan and raised in Canada, set off a wave of anger on the Chinese internet, with millions of people criticizing the entertainment industry as focused on ratings at the expense of safety.
