It was a normal day on January 8th,2015 in Kaohsiung. Nothing particularly interesting was happening.The local internet cafe was going on just as it had every other day. With the same man sitting in the corner playing video games like he had been for the past 72 hours. A female employee was making her rounds of the cafe when at 10 am she realized the video game man had died. The man was 32-years-old, unemployed, and an avid gamer. He had died from cardiac arrest earlier in the morning. The cameras show the man had a slight struggle in his death, but eventually he collapsed motionless. The paramedics came to take him away, and all of the other gamers didn't even realize what had happened.
When I heard this story the first thing that popped in my head was 周自齊, the president of Taiwan in 1922. After he resigned from politics, he moved to the US at the age of 52 to study film-making, a passion of his he never got to show in his past life. He moved back to China soon after and started a small studio. He died the following year. Both of these great men died doing what they loved.
