Friends rushed to help, but it was too late. Hu Shi died of a sudden heart attack.
Hu Shi had already made a will, and he told his friend not to take the matter of (death) as serious. I wrote too much in middle age, I overdrawn too much energy, and when I ran out of energy, it was the time of death, like an oil lamp, the oil burned out, and the lamp withered. But to die is to die painfully and comfortably. Like Fu Si Nian (sudden heart attack) as soon as he fell, it was the most painful. Lying in the hospital like Mei Yiqi for so long, it was too painful. I am very envious of Fu Si Nian's death, if I lie in bed like Mr. Mei in the future, I will commit suicide, and you must not save me.
As he wished, he died like Fu Si Nian (suddenly died of a heart attack), and died without any pain, very comfortable.
One day Hu Shi was about to go out, and someone came to visit, and Hu Shi was very dissatisfied with this person, but he still happily received him.
