From a few pills a day to a few packs a day, Brother Zhang's parents and friends also advised Brother Zhang before, but Brother Zhang didn't listen until he knew that it was too late to know the consequences, and Brother Zhang had lost the ability to chew at that time.

Later, during the surgery, a muscle from the buttock was transplanted into his face, which made his face look particularly uncomfortable.

After being diagnosed, Brother A Zhang chose the same path as Brother Binbin and contributed to the popularization of the harm of betel nut.

It wasn't until around October last year that Brother Zhang's account was broken, and netizens speculated that something might have happened, and it wasn't until Brother Zhang's friend released the news that people knew the news of Brother Zhang's death.
