2-MIN READ2-MINAlice Yanin ShanghaiPublished: 2:00pm, 29 Jul 2026When a ride-hailing driver suddenly experienced severe stomach pain and requested his passenger to take over the wheel to exit the highway, she instead drove him directly to the hospital.
On July 14, He Shimin, a blogger, arranged a ride-sharing service as she planned to travel from Guangzhou to Shunde, both located in southern Guangdong province.
While on the highway, the driver, surnamed Wang, suddenly spoke in a weak voice, expressing that he did not feel well and asked if He could drive the car off the highway.
He later recounted in her video that she was initially dazed and somewhat apprehensive about the driver’s request.
She inquired about Wang’s specific symptoms. He described feeling pain “in the area below his ribs.”
“I have never felt such anguish,” he said. “After we exit the highway, you can hail another taxi. I apologise for the inconvenience.”
