The Enduring Love Story of Lyn May and Antonio Chi Su
Antonio Chi Su, a Mexican-Chinese entrepreneur, is best remembered as the devoted husband of renowned vedette singer and dancer Lyn May. Their marriage spanned an impressive 25 years, from 1988 until his tragic passing in 2008 after a prolonged fight against prostate cancer. Recently, Lyn May captured public attention with a startling revelation: she exhumed his remains shortly after his burial, driven by an overwhelming desire to feel his presence close to her once more.
Who Was Antonio Chi Su?
Antonio Chi Su, also known as Chi-Xuo, was a successful businessman with a focus on the culinary industry. He owned a popular Chinese restaurant located on Avenida Bucareli in Mexico City, among other establishments across the country. His personal background remains largely private, with limited information available about his life prior to meeting Lyn May.
The couple first crossed paths in 1980 during the filming of a movie near his restaurant, where the cast frequently dined after shoots. Their connection blossomed, leading to marriage in 1988. Together, they ventured into the restaurant business, opening a joint establishment in Mexico City that Lyn May later inherited following his death.
The Battle with Illness and Aftermath
In 2004, Antonio Chi Su received a devastating diagnosis of prostate cancer. He bravely endured the disease for four years before succumbing in January 2008. Lyn May has openly shared her deep affection for him, describing him as "a man like no other, very good" and highlighting his generosity, such as always providing food so she never had to enter the kitchen.
In August 2025, Lyn May appeared on the YouTube podcast Creepypastas Everywhere, hosted by 'El Capi' and Darian Escoba. During the interview, she recounted the intense care she provided during his final days, after he was discharged from the hospital with only two weeks left to live. The emotional turmoil following his death led her to take the drastic step of exhuming his body, as she struggled to accept his absence.
"I paid because I couldn't do it alone. I was hugging him, lying down with him there," she confessed, noting that her family grew concerned for her mental state. Ultimately, her mother persuaded her to let go, allowing for proper rest.
