While on the highway, he suddenly felt weakness in his right hand and had difficulty speaking. Though his condition eased slightly soon after, his illness relapsed and worsened upon arriving in Xianfeng on May 2. He went to the emergency room at Xianfeng County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and was diagnosed with cerebral infarction.
Doctors strongly advised him to stay at the hospital, yet he hesitated to admit himself, preoccupied with his truckload of unsold apples. It was not until around 11 pm that day, after repeated pleas from his family, that he checked himself into the hospital. Thanks to all-out emergency treatment by the hospital, Ji was out of danger.
