Following Zhang Xuefeng, another major tech company's AI developer suddenly died of cardiac arrest, still holding a laptop in his arms when he collapsed.

No matter how important work and one’s career prospects are, nothing can outweigh a vivid, living human life. Everyone spends their lifetime striving and pushing forward, and many people only fully realize it at the very end. In the face of life and health, achievements and abilities must take a back seat.

Recently, a piece of tragic news came from Alibaba. The company’s employee, Zhang Zhe, passed away due to a sudden cardiac death of cardiac origin, and he was lost forever at his workplace.

Earlier, the deceased employee’s wife issued an obituary to the public. From the content, it can be learned that Zhang Zhe suddenly lost consciousness at his work post on March 26, and he was declared dead the next day.

In addition, from the content, it can be learned that at the time of the incident, Zhang Zhe was already aware that something was wrong with his body. He immediately called out for help to his colleagues; however, the illness progressed extremely quickly. After that, before he even had time to be rescued, he collapsed at the elevator entrance.

At the moment he collapsed, Zhang Zhe still tightly held the computer in his hands, showing that in his final moments, his thoughts were still on work.

From his wife’s account of Zhang Zhe, it is deeply moving to feel how passionately Zhang Zhe loved his job. Even at home, his thoughts revolved around work. He would share with his wife their research and development ideas and concepts, and the tone carried nothing but joy and pride.

It is likely precisely because of his dedication and love for his work that Zhang Zhe put his own health out of mind. After all, AI research and development in itself is a demanding, mentally exhausting job.

At the end of the obituary, Zhang Zhe’s wife also specifically reminded those around him to take good care of themselves. After all, life is so precious. There are opportunities to correct and make up for mistakes, but once a life is gone, it cannot be recovered again.

Zhang Zhe’s sudden passing also makes people think of Teacher Zhang Xuefeng from earlier. Teacher Zhang Xuefeng, also 41 years old, likewise completed his life after dying from sudden cardiac death of cardiac origin.

In recent years, examples of sudden deaths due to overwork have long been all too common. Most of these victims were still in their prime, and their health conditions had been good before death. It was precisely because they did not take their bodies seriously that so many tragedies occurred.

Case after case of heartbreaking incidents clearly warns everyone that nothing in life is worth forcing yourself to endure with your health. No matter how strong your body is, it can’t withstand overuse and depletion. You need to learn to slow down, balance work and rest, because peace and health are the ultimate goals we should pursue throughout our lives.
