Sun Mingyang, the 77-year-old former director of the Education Bureau, has been hospitalized for several times in recent years, and his health has attracted much attention from political circles.
"Sun Gong" mentioned in a newspaper column today (24) that he was suspected of suffering from sleep apnea that is common in the market. After examination, he found that his sleepiness was severe and that he had a large number of apneas during sleep, causing suffocation. He lamented "I still yearn for it very much now. After a night of sleep, I open my eyes to welcome the humble request of a new day. There is still a long way to go. Comrades still have to work hard."
The situation improved after wearing a sleep ventilator
Sun Mingyang mentioned in the column that for a long period of time, his sleep was intermittent every night, and it was difficult to get into a deep sleep. "I often wake up, even if I sleep for a long time, I still feel tired when I wake up due to poor sleep quality and lack of energy. "Daily life", I didn't care about it at first, but after a long time, I realized or suffered from sleep apnea.
Sun Mingyang then received examination and treatment through a "friend doctor". The doctor first asked him to fill in a sleep scale to record his sleepiness, and then invited a specialist technician to his apartment to perform a sleep test for him.
Sun Mingyang quoted the report as saying that his sleepiness was severe. "The characteristic feature of my sleep apnea is that numerous apneas occur repeatedly during sleep, which leads to suffocation." He explained that the blood oxygen content is suffocating. The period is reduced, so after suffocation, he struggles to wake up. After waking up, he will return to normal breathing and go back to sleep. However, once he falls asleep, he will stop breathing and become hypoxic, so he wakes up again. "Each short suffocation can be maintained. From a few seconds to more than a minute, it can happen a dozen times or even hundreds of times every night."
He continued that in order to improve sleep conditions, he must wear a sleep ventilator every night. He said that the effect was not good at first because the catheters that touched the nostrils were often displaced during sleep and could not maintain the fixed air pressure. After the school ventilator, he has mastered the relevant tricks and the situation has improved, but frankly, there is still a distance from the humble request of "opening my eyes to usher in a new day after a good night's sleep," and I still have to continue to work hard.

In 2018, Sun Mingyang revealed in a newspaper column that he had been treated for pneumonia for nearly three months at the Queen Mary Hospital. During this period, he described that he had half-footed into the ghost gate during the period. He also revealed that his weight once dropped by more than 20 pounds, and he was unable to do anything when he was discharged from the hospital. , But he said at the time that, in retrospect, there was no feeling of "death and rebirth."
Sun Mingyang also wrote an article last week concerned about the Legislative Council election to be held next month, pointing out that the process of counting votes must prevent the chaotic situation of the September Election Committee from repeating the same mistakes.
