The fighter on the playing field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the morning of his passing, he had just won a 10-goal freestyle match at the Indonesia Open and advanced to the top 32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He felt unwell after his first game and returned to the hotel to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the second game was about to start but there was no sign of it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When his teammates rushed to the hotel, they found that his condition was not optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He immediately called for help and asked the doctor to perform first aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he was still pronounced dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his 25-year career, he has demonstrated what true passion is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May there also be his beloved table in heaven, allowing the “Fire Cloud Evil God” to continue swinging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
