In order to provide timely treatment, Inner Mongolia's 120 emergency ambulance also rushed into the station immediately after receiving the news. At around 9:40 PM last night, Yin Dianxiang was taken onto the ambulance. The doctor on the ambulance informed the reporter that Yin Dianxiang had already experienced respiratory failure and could be in danger of losing his life at any moment. He was being rushed to the Inner Mongolia Hospital.
At 8:20 PM last night, a Weibo user named Zhou Junshan sent out a plea for help from the K43 train traveling from Beijing to Lanzhou, stating that his fellow patient Yin Dianxiang had suddenly fallen ill and was experiencing respiratory failure. This Weibo post was retweeted nearly 3,000 times within an hour, with netizens quickly organizing a love relay to call for assistance. The 120 emergency ambulance from Inner Mongolia also arrived at the Hohhot station and directly took the patient from the station to the hospital for emergency treatment. As of 11 PM last night, Yin Dianxiang was still being treated in the hospital.
Meanwhile, when it was learned that Zhou Junshan's mobile phone would soon run out of credit, netizens "Beijing Bingren" and "Yangguang Shatan" recharged Zhou Junshan's mobile phone. At 11 PM last night, Zhou Junshan told the reporter that Yin Dianxiang was still being treated in the emergency room of the hospital. Because they were worried about causing concern to Yin Dianxiang's family, they had not yet informed them.
Zhou Junshan is a fellow patient of Yin Dianxiang from Gulang County, Gansu Province. Due to years of mining, he has contracted pneumoconiosis. At 55 years old, Yin Dianxiang is already in the third stage of pneumoconiosis. Zhou Junshan told the reporter that at around 8 PM last night, when the train was approaching Hohhot, Yin Dianxiang suddenly fell ill and was unable to breathe. He then sought help on the train, and the train began broadcasting to look for a doctor. However, as there was no ventilator on the train, Yin Dianxiang exhibited signs of respiratory failure, so he immediately posted a plea for help online. A netizen named "Menggu Xiaoqiao" said that on that evening, she received a call from her friend in Beijing informing her of the critically ill patient on the train who was preparing to disembark at Hohhot and head to the hospital for treatment. She immediately contacted her relatives at the Inner Mongolia Hospital, through whom she arranged for rescue experts. At the same time, she began contacting other friends in Inner Mongolia, hoping to assist in the treatment of Yin Dianxiang.
