Max Zhang shares experience of a brush with death
13 Aug - Max Zhang (aka Zhang Jin) recently revealed that he had suffered a heart attack back in April this year, an experience that was both harrowing and revealing to him.
In a recent appearance on a Chinese variety show, the martial arts actor said that the incident occurred while he was traveling abroad with actress wife Ada Choi and their three kids.
"I felt pain, difficulty breathing, and was covered in cold sweats. My wife was waiting in line to board the Duck Tour boat. She was about ten metres away from me. I was speechless because I felt like there was an abyss and I was falling, with no one to turn to," Max said.
The actor said that the first thing he thought about was that he can't die there and leave Ada having to deal with it and to manage their children on her own.
"I can't describe the feeling. I felt like I would be gone if I closed my eyes, so I just kept holding on, not wanting to collapse there. When I went back to Hong Kong for a checkup, and the doctor said, 'You could have died there.'"
Max said that it was his first time having a near-death experience and that it had since changed his focus on life. He had since become more appreciative and cherished his time with his family.
