One night, Dai Ji worked overtime and left the office at 9:30 when she saw a group of students walking slowly with a girl. She asked and drove her to the infirmary. It's learned that the student, who had no history of asthma, was out of breath, which seemed to be a psychogenic disease. Out of professional sensitivity, Dai Ji asked her classmates to take care of the girl while contacted her instructor.

Under the efforts of family and HUTB, she resumed normal study and life soon.
