With the end of the group stage of the 2024 Asian Youth Badminton Mixed Team Championships, the mainland won all three matches in the group stage, but when the Chinese team played against the Japanese team in the next group, there was bad news. On June 30, 17-year-old national feather player Zhang Zhijie suddenly fainted and fell to the ground while participating in a competition in Indonesia, during which his body continued to convuls, and was finally sent to the hospital to pass away due to ineffective rescue. The 17-year-old badminton star left forever in this way, which is not only an unbearable pain for his family, but also a loss of talent for the country.

Zhang Zhijie suddenly fell to the ground during the game
It can be seen through the live video that Zhang Zhijie was playing with the opposite player, and suddenly he was lying on the ground face to the ground, at this time the opposite player and everyone on the field were stunned, and then someone immediately realized that something was wrong, and a girl next to him could be heard shouting: AED! AED！ (defibrillator), and then the coach of the Chinese team came to check the situation, but was suspected of being stopped by the referee, perhaps to see if Zhang Zhijie could continue to stand up and play. But from the situation at the time, it is clear that he suffered a cardiac arrest due to overwork, and the golden three minutes of rescue were at this time.
That's why some people shouted that a defibrillator was needed for rescue, but the on-site medical team entered the stadium only 30 seconds after Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground, and Zhang Zhijie was lifted off the field for treatment after about another 30 seconds. According to the announcement issued by the Asian Badminton Federation and the Indonesian Badminton Association, the doctor has rescued Zhang Zhijie and emphasized that he was sent to the ambulance within two minutes, but after being sent to the hospital, the rescue was unfortunately ineffective, and Zhang Zhijie died at 23:20 on June 30.
With the announcement of the news, the Asian Badminton Federation and the Indonesian Badminton Association have issued notices expressing regret over Zhang Zhijie's death, but the reason for Zhang Zhijie's fainting has not been clearly announced. By watching the live video, the most distressing thing is that Zhang Zhijie had a few convulsions after fainting, and there were obvious signs of life at that time, and when the coach stepped forward to check, Zhang Zhijie also raised his head and tried to stand up with his arms on the ground, it was obvious that at the last moment of his life Zhang Zhijie still wanted to finish the game. The most sour thing is that after Zhang Zhijie completely lost consciousness, he held the badminton racket tightly in his hand throughout the whole process, which made many viewers cry.
Zhang Zhijie's last interview before his death
Zhang Zhijie's sister sent a long article questioning the lack of timely rescue
With the announcement of the news, Zhang Zhijie's sister posted a long post on social platforms, saying: "I don't know what to say, yesterday he also sent a message to his mother to see the picture of him eating, yesterday was my birthday, he said I wish my sister a happy birthday, and I will go home for two days after the game." Subsequently, Zhang Zhijie's sister also said: I have been watching the live broadcast today, and I fell down when I watched him, and there were still signs of life after a few convulsions in the middle, and I even raised my head, but the waiting time was really too long. It wasn't until half past nine in the evening that the coach was contacted, and at that time it was said that there might be a glimmer of hope for transfer to the hospital, but I didn't expect to be directly notified that he had passed away.
Although there are not too many emotional ups and downs in my sister's article, silence is the most painful performance, and when people are sad to a certain emotion, they can't react, Sister Zhang Zhijie said: How can I accept it? This incident is the most unacceptable result caused by the untimely treatment of the medical team and the poor medical conditions of the organizers. He is only 17 years old, even if he says that he will be treated as soon as possible, he still can't accept it. Sister Zhang Zhiwen does not have a single word of longing in the whole text, but the words are full of thoughts for her younger brother everywhere.
Judging from the on-site situation, Zhang Zhiwen's mental state before the game was still very good, and it was because the usual training intensity was too high, so there was cardiac arrest. Some professional medical teams said for Zhang Zhijie's death that when a similar situation occurs, the golden three minutes is an important factor to ensure that the patient can safely pass the dangerous period, and the first time should be rescued with a defibrillator, even if there was no AED at the scene, at least CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) should be taken as a retreat, but no one stepped forward to help at the scene, and even the medical team entered the scene 30 seconds after falling to the ground.
As the organizer, there are so many athletes from all over the world on the scene, and I believe that AED should be the most basic professionalism of a professional medical team. This is also the focus of public opinion, so many viewers saw Zhang Zhijie fall to the ground, perhaps the referee and medical staff at the scene did not expect the 17-year-old young man to be able to faint on the ground, so he carelessly thought that the condition was not so serious, it is difficult to imagine how sad Zhang Zhijie's family should be, 17-year-old has such a high talent, the future life will be bright, but now there is nothing.

Official release statement
With the departure of Zhang Zhijie, the Chinese Badminton Association also issued a document to express its grief and condolences for him, a new badminton star, it is understood that the local hospital has not announced the specific cause of the disease, as for whether the next first aid measures were carried out after being sent to the ambulance is unknown, and can only wait for the official announcement. The Chinese Badminton Association has also been in contact with the Indonesian side, and if there is any latest news, it will be announced as soon as possible. It's a pity that such a young and promising national badminton player is like a meteor briefly crossing the sky, which is not a loss for the development of badminton in our country.
Zhang Zhijie's sister said that he was a very sensible child, and every time he won a bonus, he would buy gifts for his family, such a well-behaved and talented young man, his departure was a loss for all of us. It is understood that Zhang Zhijie was born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province in 2007, and has entered the national youth team in 2023, and has won the 2023 National Youth Badminton Championship and many other achievements. Even, his college certificate has just been sent home! How does this make his family accept it, how to accept it?
Finally, I expressed deep sorrow and regret for the departure of the new star Zhang Zhijie, and hoped to wait for an explanation to his family.
