On March 24, the news of the death of well-known education blogger Zhang Xuefeng instantly caused consternation across the Internet. Many people found it difficult to believe it at first. Sadly, he did pass away. On March 26, the funeral working group for teacher Zhang Xuefeng officially issued a memorial service notice: Zhang Xuefeng (real name Zhang Zibiao) died of sudden cardiac death in Suzhou at 15:50 on March 24, 2026 after all efforts to rescue failed. He was only 41 years old.
It is reported that the memorial service and farewell ceremony for the remains are scheduled to be held at 7 a.m. on March 28, 2026 (Saturday) at the Suzhou Funeral Home.
According to public information, Zhang Xuefeng's sudden death was related to overwork. He broadcast live every day and ran every day, and his body didn't get any rest at all. He has been saying on Weibo that he is tired and wants to sleep without waking up again.
This time it coincided with the college entrance examination preparation period. If he could adjust his body this time, stop working so hard and give himself time to rest, maybe the tragedy would not have happened.
Looking back on the past, he received fatal warnings from his body three times, but regretfully missed them all.
It is understood that as early as June 2023, he was forced to be hospitalized by the hospital due to symptoms such as chest tightness and heart palpitations due to long-term overwork. But he didn't really take it seriously and quickly returned to high-intensity work after being discharged from the hospital.
The second time was at the end of 2023. Some netizens noticed that his lips were black during his live broadcast and reminded him to check his heart. They also used the experience of heart attack around him to persuade him to pay attention. He retorted on the grounds that he could run a half marathon and was in good physical condition.
The third and most critical time: On March 24, 2026, he felt obviously unwell, but still insisted on live broadcasting. During the live broadcast, his complexion was poor and his eyes were swollen, and many comments were urging him to rest and take care of himself.
But he didn't take a break at noon, and instead went for a run. Eventually, he suffered sudden cardiac death and missed his last chance to save himself.
Talking about the reason for his hard work all year round, Zhang Xuefeng once said frankly: He has 500 employees and 500 families behind him.
The more responsible and successful a person is, the more he can't stop. There are a lot of people waiting for him to support him, and he has to stay up late to work, sometimes even until four or five in the morning. Perhaps, people who are too conscientious often never live just for themselves, but always care about the people behind them. Passing away suddenly at the age of 41 is really heartbreaking and regretful.
